Ballad Of Casey Deiss Music Lyrics

T'was a man of youthful features

T'was a boy of sorrowful eyes

Watching out by looking inward

Tall and stately and full of life



In his life, he spoke but rarely

In his mind he cried for light

Painting perceptions trying to capture

That which he saw in his questioning strife



Once in Lisbon, twice in London

Travelling around for all of his time

Looking for and finding a goddess

He took Diana to be his wife



Of the children, they'd begotten

Two had died without knowing life

And the third I know not whereof

But if she lives, she will yet be kind



Casey had a mark of simple value

He had a star between his eyes

In his hands he held an axe blade

The Greek symbol of thunder and fire



On a night when the heavens were crying

He went out and took his blade

Chopping wood to warm his heartside

The lightning came and my brother died



Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards

Tell him no tales of the canyon's might

But wish him peace and eternal wisdom

For he has died and he died by light
