Alla Vita Alla Morte

You I recognize as one
Of Dionysus' holy band.
I, too, once served him well;
Musician - play, sing the song,
Drink the wine until it's gone,
I shall dance in the revel!
There are those that serve him
In mirth and light spirit -
They are not the holy ones,
Little weight to their service.
But you, I know, serve with all
Your sore soul, dedication
Down to the last drop, to death.
