jon english, barry humphries & terence donovan – the balance shift كلمات اغاني

[cassandra]
the balance shifts
beware of greeks who bear gifts
for they will return
to pillage and burn
why waste my breath?
when will they learn

[laocoen]
ah, cassandra
i have always believed you
but what can one priest do?
[cassandra]
your role was cast
from the very beginning, my friend
you are the object of the losing and the winning
if you destroy this thing
before nightfall
your sacrifice will save us all

[laocoen]
you sound sad, little princess
do not cry
i am ready if i must die
for is this monster is how the gods conspire
let’s see what happens when we set it on fire

[trojan]
good princess, good priest
stop your grieving
our prayers are answered
the greeks are leaving
look, see
they’re sailing to the sun
they’ve given up
it’s over
we won
[chorus]
no better feeling that this in your homeland
now we must go [?]
no more destruction
no fear for your loved ones
[?] your weapons and take up [?]

no more destruction
no fear for your loved ones
[?] your weapons and take up [?]

[priam]
it seems the greek retreat was not all that swift
hecuba, look they took the time to give us a gift

[hecuba, spoken]
are you sure it is a gift , priam?

[hecuba]
they must have built this thing
just before they fled
as a monument, perhaps, for their dead

[?]
the dead was the last thing on their minds
look, see
they left one behind
[?]
it’s true, your majesty
he looks like dead

[?]
ugh. but you should just smell his breath

[?]
it was no trojan weapon that made him fall
but a greek wine [?]
he’s drunk that’s all

[chorus]
no greater drunk than a greek with a [?] full

[priam]
this prisoner is a d_mn disgrace to his race

[?]
he’d be better of dead

[priam]
yes, let’s cut off his head

[sinon, spoken]
i guess that’s fair for a prisoner of war
you could cut off my head
it couldn’t hurt anymore
but do it quietly, would you

[priam, spoken]
you live while you speak, you pathetic little man
just what is this thing
what does it mean?

[sinon, spoken]
what thing

[priam, spoken]
that thing

[sinon, spoken]
what thing

[priam, spoken]
that thing

[sinon]
oh, that horse
is an offering
a praise for the gods
i forget which one
but to [?] at all
will bring greece undone
show them right
they leave the innocent behind
so you beaten the old b_st_rds
well, it serves them right
still, you got to admit
it was one h_ll of a fight
[?]
i am not into violence
this is a gift for you all to enjoy
a symbol of triumph
to the people of troy
the gods have decreed
that whole greece will fall
the minute you stapled it
inside your walls

[priam]
the spirits you quote seem to grow on a vine
we have a true servant of the gods
stop wasting my time

[sinon, spoken]
you’re all the same, you kings

[priam, spoken]
priest, what do the gods make of this

[laocoen]
i am no slave to the gods anymore
i renounce the struggle of passion and law
for i pray for the day
when men realize we don’t need them at all
so no matter what they say
or try to do
the final decision rest with you
farewell sweet cassandra
my part is now played
i challenge the gods
or i am not afraid
