A fantasy that seems to involve a messianic musician, a deciduous audience, and someone who lied unto eternity. |

Story Behind the Song
A fantasy that original had Dimitro as a "midget malefactor", but the references to "cross old trees" and other things prompted the change to making it in a "garden, ripe for play". I'm not sure what motivates these types of works, they flow out on their own, but this was worked extensively over several weeks and many takes, and still might be redone yet.
Lyrics
Dimitro
sun rose high above the clouds
(it was a very special day)
stage was set, the fruit was full
all the garden ripe for play
thumb broke through the waiting dust
and touched the sky with regal rust
dimitro prometheus
stretched out long and squeaked with lust
the crowd then gathered, roared, and cursed
waiting with a wooden thirst
they all stood and none took air
rooted in the dirt
dimitro opened his eyes
"forsooth", he murmured, touching skies,
"i do see a golden door
come with me, a new see-shore"
stepping forth, his mind was freed
his instrument of song dripped seed
upon the waiting frothing crowd
set deeply in the soil
from his hand roared muddy seas
from his pores poured harmonies
dancers grew on fingertips
heads and shoulders, fingers, hips,
swordfish pen met pulsing lips
‘bove the field a bow then rose
wisdom only and no brain
and the wave began to grow
yellow purple green white rain
smoothly whipping clouds to cream
whetting all the pain
dimitro in ecstasy
drowned in warm cacophony
grew into a cross old tree
lied into eternity
