lyrics

Cantus (Bottle)

O Moon we are bathed in your afterbirth
The Goddess of the Hunt you command the Earth
And Mars you impress with your mighty arm
Wild Feral Beast I am in your charm

I Wash the sheets and use the Iron

O Mercury we are Mended in your foundries
The Guardian of Our Souls you bless our boundaries
Jupiter we are Brewed by your firmament
Leader of the Sky and truth impermanent

I Wash the sheets and use the Iron
Mend a hole and Brew the wine

O Venus I am Churned by your versatility
The Goddex of all Sex and Fertility
Saturn we are Baked by your Golden Cage
Father of All Time you dissolve the age

I Wash the sheets and use the Iron
Mend a hole and Brew the wine
Churn the milk then we can Bake

O Sun let us Rest in your healing light
For by the Brightest Star it is never night

<We are transformed...>

Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Sun

We Wash the sheets and use the Iron
Mend a hole and Brew the wine
Churn the milk so we can Bake
Then we’ll Rest for goodness sake

Moon the sheets and Mars the Iron
Mercury a hole and Jupiter the wine
Venus the milk, Saturn we can Bake
Give us Sun for goodness sake
