♜ WHAT'S NEW♜ PERSONAL♜ SOCIAL♜ THE PASTThey say I snatched you from the world above Bound you with pomegranates, cast a spell Bribed you with architecture. It’s not so. Friendship is complicated, life is, love, Your work the growing world, my task is Hell You come back always, always have to go.
But here and now, this moment, we can smile, Speak and be heard, this moment we can share And laugh, and help each other to be great, And talk aloud together, all worthwhile, Our work, our worlds, and all we really care, Each word shines golden, each thought worth the wait.
And Hell’s poor souls whirl round us as they glide Off up to Lethe to begin again, On to new lives, new dawns beyond Hell’s night. We walk among your flowers, side by side, Such joys we share are worth a little pain. You come back. And you always bring the light.

They say I snatched you from the world above
Bound you with pomegranates, cast a spell
Bribed you with architecture. It’s not so.
Friendship is complicated, life is, love,
Your work the growing world, my task is Hell
You come back always, always have to go.
But here and now, this moment, we can smile,
Speak and be heard, this moment we can share
And laugh, and help each other to be great,
And talk aloud together, all worthwhile,
Our work, our worlds, and all we really care,
Each word shines golden, each thought worth the wait.
And Hell’s poor souls whirl round us as they glide
Off up to Lethe to begin again,
On to new lives, new dawns beyond Hell’s night.
We walk among your flowers, side by side,
Such joys we share are worth a little pain.
You come back. And you always bring the light.
