Daphne & Apollo Lyrics by Odetta Hartman

BARK

2014

Born from discordant harmonies
And raised by the rays of the falling sun
The cruel outrage of archer cupid
Makes laugh the killer of the mighty python
And so a tip of gold, a tip of lead
Ignites a heart and turns the other dead
As animals to gods your glory is so much the less than mine
As animals to gods your glory is so much the less than mine
One ribbon binding up her hair
Her tresses fall past her shoulders
And loathe to have anything to do with men
Love-pierced Apollo surrenders
And so a tip of gold, a tip of lead
Ignites a heart and turns the other dead
As animals to gods your glory is so much the less than mine
As animals to gods your glory is so much the less than mine
But she moves more swiftly than the lightest breeze
Yeah she's more beautiful in flight
A torpor takes hold of her dainty limbs
Her plea to her father is answered
And BARK and foliage plume from her hair
All that remains is a warm glow
And so a tip of gold, a tip of lead
Ignites a heart and turns the other dead
As animals to gods your glory is so much the less than mine
As animals to gods your glory is so much the less than mine
You’re not ever gonna catch me
