I​´​ll Call Thee Hamlet

from Hamlet by Woods of Birnam

/

lyrics

angels and ministers of grace defend us!
be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn’d
bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell
be thy intents wicked or charitable
thou com’st in such a questionable shape

that I will speak to thee – speak to thee – speak to thee
speak to thee – speak to thee

I’ll call thee Hamlet / I’ll call thee Hamlet, o answer me

it will not speak, then I will follow it – follow it
I do not set my life at a pin ́s fee
and for my soul, what can it do to that
and for my soul, what can it do to that
being a thing immortal as itself

it waves me forth again - forth again - forth again
I’ll follow it – (I’ll) follow it – (I’ll) follow it

I’ll call thee Hamlet / I’ll call thee Hamlet
king, father, royal Dane / king, father, royal Dane
o answer me

what may this mean, that thou
dead corse, again in complete steel
revisits thus the glimpses of the moon
making night hideous / and we fools of nature
so horridly to shake our disposition - our disposition
with thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
with thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
say why is this? wherefore?
say why is this? wherefore?
I’ll call thee Hamlet
I’ll call thee Hamlet

king, father, royal Dane / king, father, royal Dane
