Taygete

Song Lyrics from December 2023

Verse 1

You think me a solemn virgin, 

But you never stirred my tongue or my womb, 

Cuff and chase her, next erase her

She’s in golden chalice, trapped there

She’s a nightmare you done spelled your doom

Pre-Chorus I

Kill the doe, he said

I said no, slit her throat and I’ll choke I said

Smash your head, I’ll forget I’m supposed to joke we’re fed

Fake some motherfucking hope or pleasure with your reign

You have brought us pain

How are you this vain? 

Chorus

Diana

Bare-breasted sent to the men 

With the clandestine objective to shut you in a pen

You pray, you pray for song & release

To escape their bleak antics and 

Fly with the geese

Triumph the doe and collect the stag 

You will never ever find me fucking waving that flag

Verse 2

To break me free from my suitors’ clutches

You embrace me for my self-hood renewed

Now and always you’re my goddess

I’m protected by your prowess

Bundled, nurtured by the light of your moon

Pre-Chorus 2

But he says I’m a bitch, I’m dead

No a witch, correction someone who can switch, I said

You have five seconds before I feel that twinge again

Anger, fury, give me Artemis

Colluding with my sisters now 

the goose, the Great Dame, and the sow 

You’re done

Chorus

Diana

Bare-breasted sent to the men 

With the clandestine objective to shut you in a pen

You pray, you pray for song & release

To escape their bleak antics and 

Fly with the geese

Triumph the doe and collect the stag 

You will never ever find me fucking waving that flag

Bridge

Oh

Ah

Ah

Huh

Taygete

Taygete

Darling (x4) 

Oh sleep

Dear darling

The moon watches over you now

Chorus

Diana

Bare-breasted sent to the men 

With the clandestine objective to shut you in a pen

You pray, you pray for song & release

To escape their bleak antics and 

Fly with the geese

Triumph the doe and collect the stag 

You will never ever find me fucking waving that flag
