CHORUS:

Drop by drop at the heart, the gold of life ebbs out.

We are the old soldiers . . . wounds will come

with the crushing sunset of our lives.

Death is close, and quick.

CASSANDRA:

Look out! look out!—

Ai, drag the great bull from the mate! -

a thrash of robes, she traps him -

writhing-

black horn glints, twists -

she gores him through!

And now he buckles, look, the bath swirls red-

There’s stealth and murder in the cauldron, do you hear?

LEADER:

I’m no judge, I’ve little skill with the oracles,

but even I know danger when I hear it.
