The Argus He Cries...

"...though love has its place under the sun, it's only man's fears that carry him on."
by Ween

Here's the entire song's lyrics:

Yesterday we lost our lives,
tomorrow we were born
Fortunes smiled upon us,
sacrifice the Argus
All that he might help us see

Magna eyes that track for miles,
looking for disease
Puzzled by the mountains-
tricked by the sea
and the argus is practiced compassion
with an eye on you, as one is on me
will the god eye grant his forgiveness
and allow he that's lived,
a reason to see
Counting days and building walls,
bells ring so's to warn
All the signs that guide us,
chosen by the Argus
Tell me he has chosen you

Led by form we shed our soul
Trusting like a child
See the dark face that saved us
Drink from his empty eyes

and the argus is practiced compassion
with an eye on you, as one is on me
will the god eye grant his forgiveness
letting droplets of light erupt from the sea....

Lying in bed of garlic and orchid,
he closes an eye , which closes another
And in his sleep he dreams, of watching and looking and feather clouds dancing
He curls up his lid and sleeps...

Swirling with visions on man's confusion
All of the work, done just to appease him
The Argus he cries, though love has it's place under the sun
It's only man's fear that carries him on...



The Argos was an all-seeing giant God in Greek mythology.  Read up on it for few minutes and this song makes a lot more sense. Happy Weening.
