Lyrics
Dionysos What's that? Don't you know? Should I? Dionysos They're singing of you! A hymn to me, the god of drama A hymn to you, the god of wine And a hymn to the god of wine. Two hymns, for the price of one! Dionysos We are come to praise you For the wondrous blessing, the taste of wine Evoe! Alalai! Alalai! Evoe! Alalalalalalai! Dionysos We are come to thank you For the gentle tendrils that intertwine To produce the grapes that produce the wine Evoe! Alalai! Alalai! Evoe! Alalalalalalai! Out of wine, comes truth Out of truth, the vision clеars And with vision, soon appears a grand design From the grand dеsign We can understand the world And when you understand the world You need a lot more wine! Dionysos We are come to join you In a shout of joy at the only shrine Where you come benighted and leave benign For that endless blessing, the taste of wine Evoe! Alalai! Alalai! Evoe! Alalalalalalai! Wine makes the pa**ions sing Wine leads the feet to dance Wine answers every question Pour the wine Wine takes away the sting Wine gives the heart its chance Wine aids the indigestion Pour the wine See the curmudgeon smile Hear the insomniac snore Look at the coward roar All from the vine Pour the wine Wine lends a sense of style Wine gets the spirit to soar Wine makes you thirsty Pour more wine More wine Wine helps the edges blur Wine lets the mind escape Wine settles all dissension Pour the wine Wine makes the blood to stir Wine leads to friendly rape Wine eases tension What an invention is wine Pour the wine Glory be to wine Dionysos We are come to praise you For the hazy vision that sees through all Evoe! Alalai! Alalai! Evoe! Alalalalalalai! Dionysos (For the tranquil smile, for the sense of style) We are come to thank you (We are come to praise) For the [?] (We are come to praise Dionysos) Evoe! Alalai! Alalai! (Evoe!) Evoe! (Alalai! Alalai!) Alalalalalalai! (Evoe!) Dionysos (For the hearty soul, for the [?]) We are come to laud you (We are come to thank) For the sudden [?] (Dionysos) Evoe! (Evoe!) Alalai! Alalai! (Evoe!) (Alalai! Alalai!) Evoe! (Alalai! Alalai!) (Evoe!) Alalalalalalai! (Evoe!) Dionysos (For the [?], for the blood that stirs) We are come to bless you For the false resolve and the gift of [?] Evoe! (Evoe!) Alalai! Alalai! (Evoe!) (Alalai! Alalai!) Evoe! (Alalai! Alalai!) (Evoe!) Alalalalalalai! (Evoe!) Alalalalalalalalalalalalalalai! Dionysos We are come to praise you (We are come to praise) We are come to praise by the fading light To exalt your name in the sacred rite Which begins at five And goes on all night Evoe! (Evoe!) (Evoe!) Alalai! Alalai! (Evoe!) (Alalai! Alalai!) Evoe! (Alalai! Alalai!) (Evoe!) Evoe! Evoe! Evoe! Alalai!
