The Faun Has Bled

Solomon Pehrson 2004 (Oregon)

Lyric
The liquid in the pitcher’s gone black
The goblet on the table’s been cracked
Wash up darling I’m here to stay
For a perfect feast on a tarnished plate

The Dawn can tread without me
The faun has bled without me

The stars keep staring at me so cold
Rejoice in your afflictions I’m told
I can’t take us all that way
It’s a meager feast on the perfect plate

The Dawn can tread without me
The faun has bled without me
