Lyrics
Ceyx and Alcyone
© 2010 Ken Clinger
Ceyx, son of morning star
Alcyone, daughter of king of winds
desire to never be apart
a love where ending just begins
a deeper love for all eternity
blessed by the gods above
creating their own destiny
oracles that Ceyx seeks
the seeking leads to tragedy
a shadow on their love
Floating on the ocean
nesting on the waves
Kingfishers brooding peacefully
in calm Halcyon Days
Ceyx and Alcyone
forever intertwined
love transcending outer form
beyond the realm of time
Ceyx seeks the oracle
a destination far across the sea
Alcyone she fears the winds
a sinking ship his destiny
She begs him to remain
else to have her by his side
But Ceyx, he refuses her request
and leaves at morning tide
His fate is sealed, a storm arrives
his drowning words call to his bride
Unaware, Alcyone
she prays to Hera for a safe return
Consumed with pity
Hera summons Morpheus with her concern
In turn now Morpheus
appears as Ceyx in his lover’s dream
wet and naked tells his tragic fate
Alcyone awakes in tears
the sadness of what she has seen
she begs Ceyx to wait
Standing by the ocean
sadly gazing at the waves
Alcyone sees Ceyx’s body
float beneath the haze
She rushes to be with him but
before that she can drown
the gods they give her spreading wings
no longer will she be earthbound
Ceyx comes again to life
he floats above the sea
they’re both transformed to Halcyon birds
kingfishers now to be
together flight above the waves
for all eternity
Floating on the ocean, nesting on the waves
Kingfishers brooding peacefully
in calm Halcyon Days
Ceyx and Alcyone, forever intertwined
love transcending outer form
beyond the realm of time
