VESTA

 

                                     By Woz        1984

They say not to look on Vesta, --------  to men

 

But she was standing here in England half clad  out on the plain

 

And I saw her in her beauty with no attendant to her train

 

They say men must not look on her if Vesta I unveiled

 

But her eye was on me, too late, I felt my heart  impaled

 

They say she sees the future, hopes, fears, your very soul

 

The doings of the mighty, of the world the very whole

 

In her pendant is the prophecy, the vision's in the ember

 

Men's encoded destiny, might death be a contender

 

Do be careful, be warned, one might only see the flame

 

For Vesta is of the fire, it is her great acclaim

 

And you might be going nowhere, such knowledge can enthral

 

Many men find death; they have no future life at all.

 

Thus they say not to look on Vesta, --------  to men.
