about

This song is a tale written in the aftermath of the Brussels terrorist attack of March 2016, and is dedicated to the memory of the victims.

lyrics

Isis

Oh, what would Isis say
Upon seeing her name abused
To designate men who slay
At random, pretending they choose?
The Goddess’s sole insurrection
Was against mortality:
She was all about resurrection,
Death was no finality.

Chorus:
We give Isis a bad name
When we call them Isis
We give Isis a bad name
Let’s not fuel their crisis.

She was to teach Orpheus her tricks
When he took the tube that morning
With his guitar and his licks,
But tonight, it’s him I’m mourning.
For Isis’ namesakes blew the train
And let all hell break loose:
The bard was killed as he strained
To rehearse a farewell blues.

Chorus

Isis had not reached the train
When Orpheus got on board:
She’d been shot down like some plane
Before she could join the bard.
The pair of wings she used to flap
To restore the dead with breath
Were cut off by those madcaps
Who stand for nothing but death.

Chorus
