Lyrics

Oh,
That thou wouldst make mine enemy my judge,
Ev'n where he hangs, seared by my long revenge,
On Caucasus! he would not doom me thus.
Gentle and just, and dreadless, is he not
The monarch of this world? What then art thou?
No refuge! no appeal!
Sink with me then,
Let hell unlock
Its mounded oceans of tempestuous fire
And whelm on them into the bottomless void
This desolated world, and thee, and me,
The conqueror and the conquerèd, and the wreck
Of that for which they combated.
The elements obey me not. I sink
Down, ever, for ever down.
And mine enemy above
Darkens my fall with victory!
Written by: Percy Bysshe Shelley, Sir Charles Hubert Parry
