Shall I tell a tale of love and of jealousy [00:00:24]

And of how a mortal found her own destiny [00:00:29]

Born a maiden of luminous beauty [00:00:34]

And revealed she was a flower so heavenly [00:00:38]

But by this admiration I'm doomed you see [00:00:42]

The smite of a goddess upon me [00:00:48]

Now I'm sent to wed one of dragon-breed [00:00:56]

Oh dear Venus I meant no impiety [00:00:59]

And so the girl was left alone on a mountaintop [00:01:18]

Until with gentle breath Zephyr she to a palace brought [00:01:23]

For the fates have dained not Venus's wishes wrought [00:01:28]

But instead that those famed arrows would share her heart [00:01:32]

We had happiness there but in secrecy [00:01:38]

In darkness we loved without need to see [00:01:41]

But convinced to unveil his identity [00:01:46]

Great winds betrayed flew fast away from me [00:01:50]

And so she wondered on the land searching far and wide [00:02:03]

While he lay sequestered by his indignant mother's side [00:02:07]

She prepared to face the implications of her desire [00:02:12]

Approached the gates where Habit seized her and made her cry [00:02:16]

Oh trouble and sorrow please leave me be [00:02:21]

Has your mistress no heart to bid me clemency [00:02:25]

I love her most sweetly and fervently [00:02:30]

'Tis only of this I am guilty [00:02:35]

Then the goddess d**g her to a disordered heap of seeds [00:02:56]

Commanding before night the sorting task must be complete [00:03:00]

The mess of lentils corn and barley and poppy seeds [00:03:05]

Did loom impossible to weary and worn Psyche [00:03:10]

I stand overwhelmed with humility [00:03:15]

But hark underfoot earthborn you pity me [00:03:20]

Oh nimble nurselings rush to my need [00:03:23]

Dear brothers and sisters of humanity [00:03:28]

Took each grain by grain [00:03:31]

Made piles of the same [00:03:35]

The light of nature came to me [00:03:40]

Oh Myrmidons oh gentle beasts [00:03:45]

I asked you not still you saved me [00:03:50]

Such diligence grant me this lesson teach [00:03:54]

Now consciousness have I to keep [00:03:59]

But not enough this single victory [00:04:33]

Bid she was impossibilities [00:04:38]

To collect the golden fleece [00:04:47]

The waters from the cruellest peak [00:04:50]

And the beauty of Persephone [00:04:53]

These three more tasks completed she [00:05:12]

Afraid she was but never weak [00:05:16]

Then when cast in Stygian sleep [00:05:21]

Love flew and roused her from the deep [00:05:25]

Oh counsel above oh Jupiter [00:05:30]

You welcome me into your theatre [00:05:35]

With this golden goblet of ambrosia [00:05:39]

I'll cherish the lessons I've learned from the [00:05:43]

Tower and greenery [00:05:47]

And the royal bird's great beak [00:05:51]

The ants who rescued me [00:05:56]

Yes it takes strength to receive[00:06:00]
