Baal's Hymn
4
Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
5
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
6
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
7
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
8
That same sky remained with him in joy and care
9
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
10
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
11
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
12
So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
13
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
14
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
15
He will have his sky down there below
16
When the sinners congregate in shame together
17
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
18
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
19
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
20
And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laughing yield
21
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
22
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
23
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
24
And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
25
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
26
"Space enough" said Baal, "then I'll thicken the ground
27
Space enough within this woman's womb"
28
Any vice for Baal has got its useful side
29
It's the man who practices it, he can't abide
30
Vices have their point, once you see it as such
31
Stick to two for one will be too much
32
Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
33
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
34
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
35
Swollen bellies can embarrass you
36
Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears
37
Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
38
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
39
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
40
Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
41
As they wait up there to see if Baal will die
42
Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
43
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup
44
When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
45
What's the world still mean to Baal, he's overfed
46
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes
47
He'll just have enough sky when he's dead
48
Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal
49
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
50
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
51
Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
