Ricardo Echeverria - Hades Homecoming lyrics

HADES Charon trades his ferry for a carriage and transports three to Hades. A fourth traveler by the name of Bloom joins the damned. Suicides rises in the conversation like an animated corpse. It is Bloom's father. His shadow is his grandson. Rudy. Rudy wears an impossible Eton suit Impossible for he is a little Lazarus without a Jesus. Bloom spots his second son, also mourning Telemachus has just missed Odysseus Irish Casanova greets the carriage Bloom looks at his nails. Boylan is a carpenter. Molly does need some fixing. Hammer and.... From the graves poke out gramophones Gramophones whose mouths resemble sunflowers. Bring the sunflower to your ear; a boy laughs. The man in the mackintosh tends to the records. Meanwhile the priest pours Latin over Dignam The last drops of prayer are dirt and the shovels' mouths say: In paradisum And in the green of the eternal, a well-dressed man of ruddy beard Free of poison, carried on his shoulders a boy in an Eton suit. The boy's mouth wide in joy, but soundless And the sunflower never laughed and Bloom tossed that world away.
