about

About Circe, the infamous witch of antiquity, and of the Odyssey, who by magic potions turns men into swine...

Featuring theatrical supporting vocals by the versatile Jessica Slavik, and a unique instrumental arrangement involving nyckelharpa, accordion, and double bass.

Whilst simply rendering Circe's story in an evocative and theatrical fashion, this song could also be interpreted allegorically. Is it also somehow about our modern-day society?

lyrics

On an isle where beasts roam
In halls that send out smoke
In a land of sin and woe
She rules her realm...

She's got eyes that gleam
Pearls that shine
Round n' round n' round she'll weave
Round n' round she'll twine
She isn't what she seems
She'll turn you into swine

She'll lure you to her bed
To the middle of her web
She'll let you be her pet
As she casts her spell...

Feast and
Wine....

She's got eyes that gleam
Pearls that shine
Round n' round n' round she'll weave
Round n' round she'll twine
She isn't what she seems
She'll turn you into swine
