Moon Companions Lyrics by Blake Hodgetts

Out of the Workshop

2018

(CHORUS:)
Ganymede, Io, Europa, Callisto
Attending your master, so nearly a star
Those nights Galileo unraveled your wandering
Wonderingly from afar
Could he have imagined how different you are?
Favored cupbearer is Ganymede, beautiful boy of the stars
The king of the Sol system's satellites, nearly the measure of Mars
His atmosphere is thin
An iron core within;
Between them lie four billion years' worth of scars
(CHORUS:)
Ganymede, Io, Europa, Callisto
Attending your master, so nearly a star
Those nights Galileo unraveled your wandering
Wonderingly from afar
Could he have imagined how different you are?
Io, tormented by flies, had to bide in a cow's lowly form
Her namesake is red of complexion, with sulfurous volcanoes aswarm
Beset by mighty tides
Her turbulent insides
Revise Io's surface and take it by storm
(GUITAR SOLO)
Europa was robbed of her virtue by Jove in the form of a bull
Her moon guards an ocean of water, kept warm by her lord's tidal pull
A million fissures slice
A crazy-quilt of ice:
Of what hidden mysteries might this sea be full?
(CHORUS:)
Ganymede, Io, Europa, Callisto
Attending your master, so nearly a star
Those nights Galileo unraveled your wandering
Wonderingly from afar
Could he have imagined how different you are?
Artemis' nymph was Callisto, deceived by a cross-dresser's snare
Her fate found her flung to the heavens, bereft and bewitched as a bear
Most distant of the four
She's bound forevermore
By Jupiter's red-eyed, tempestuous stare
(CHORUS:)
Ganymede, Io, Europa, Callisto
Attending your master, so nearly a star
Those nights Galileo unraveled your wandering
Wonderingly from afar
Could he have imagined how different you are?
