The Lyrics

A song about the plight of Cazaril, the protagonist of Lois Bujold's fantasy novel The Curse of Chalion, who for much of the story is uncomfortably bloated because a demon and a ghost are encapsulated in his gut by the action of one of the gods, the Lady of Spring.

Trinity
Sainthood's not what it's cracked up to be
Thought I'd save Iselle and then be free
But the Lady had some plans for me

Suddenly
I am thrice the man I used to be
Have a demon and a ghost to tea
Now I believe theology

Why She holds Dondo I don't know, but it's to be
Tried to die a champ, now I'm cramped with trinity

Trinity
Sainthood's not what it's cracked up to be
Thought I'd save Iselle and then be free
But the Lady has more plans for me
(moan final bars while clutching one's gut in agony)

I enjoyed reading that. I'm not familiar with the characters enough to get the full force and effect. But it does feel good to read lyrics that match the meter of the original song. I'm not sure that everybody pays attention to meter any more. Thank you for the effort.
