Debussy: Three Nocturnes

CHORONZON : I am a dire wolf,
prey-stalking, lethal prowler.

MORPHEUS : I am a hunter,
horse-mounted, wolf-stabbing.

CHORONZON: I am a horsefly,
horse-stinging, hunter-throwing.

MORPHEUS: I am a spider,
fly-consuming, eight-legged.

CHORONZON: I am a snake,
spider-devouring, posion-toothed.

MORPHEUS: I am an ox,
snake-crushing, heavy-footed.

CHORONZON: I am an anthrax,
butcher bacterium,
warm-life destroying.

MORPHEUS: I am a world,
space-floating, life-nurturing.

CHORONZON: I am a nova,
all-exploding, planet-cremating.

MORPHEUS: I am the Universe--
all things encompassing,
all life embracing.

CHORONZON: I am Anti-Life,
the Beast of Judgement.
I am the dark
at the end of everything.
The end of universes,
gods, worlds...of everything.
And what will you be then, Dreamlord?

MORPHEUS: I am hope.
