Deus Ex Machina

On the path of peril
 The blind king staggers away
 All he can see is darkness
 Like a shroud
 Groping through mist and cloud
 The devil his only friend
 Doomed is he
 To find release only at his end
 Cursed is he
 Who incurs the wrath of envious gods
 Woe is he
 He who walks alone on the road to ruin
 Woe is he
 Whose fate is abandoned to the wind
 Woe is he
 The end too dread to tell, too dark to see
 Trial is the test of man
 Hubris will be his fall
 Fate is the curse of man
 In god's envy, tragedy befalls
 Hamartia is the flaw of man
 Hubris be his downfall
 Trial is the test of man
 But death befalls us all
 Oh cursed Oedipus
 Pursued by the hounds of fate
 For slaying and laying with kindred
 You took out both your eyes
 All your sins laid bare
 Your shame you alone will wear
 So you go away without a guide
 A vagrant with no sight
 Oh cursed Oedipus
 Hallowed be thy pain
 A blind man wandering across the land
 Never to be seen again
 Oh cursed Oedipus
 Hallowed be thy shame
 Architect of his own tragedy
 So vanished he
 Into a shoreless sea
 Trial is the test of man
 Hubris be his fall
 Fate is the curse of man
 In god's envy
 Tragedy befalls
 Hamartia is the flaw of man
 Hubris be his downfall
 Trial is the test of man
 And death will end it all
