I bring truth and understanding,

I bring wit and wisdom fair,

Precious gifts beyond compare.

We can build a world of wonder,

I can make you all aware.

I will find you food and shelter,

Show you fire to keep you warm

Through the endless winter storms.

You can live in grace and comfort

In the world that you transform."



The people were delighted

Coming forth to claim their prize

They ran to build their cities

And converse among the wise.

But one day the streets fell silent,

Yet they knew not what was wrong.

The urge to build these fine things

Seemed not to be so strong.

The wise men were consulted,

And the Bridge of Death was crossed

In quest of Dionysus,

To find out what they had lost
