-SCENE ONE- (The posse ambles aimlessly under a hot sun, through the vast wasteland After the absconding Perceval, who is nowhere to be found.) KAYE: Ramble under the sun, girl, and let your fresh head run Water came to a drip—fold the sky down into this trip Fifty paces behind, that old swan came in their minds Veiled inside a mirage, Queen Cygnus, born of the stars She opened up her wings—now the Gods are pulling your strings Did you see ’em with your own eye, or is your whole world a liе? Got no water left to drink, got no thoughts left to think Whеn you climbed up outta that womb, you knew it would be your tomb Vipers waiting in the sand, under the spell of Zazamanc! Bloody rif les in every hand, a bullet ready for every man Spirits rise, then disappear, you never see the thing you fear Immortal constellations curse terminations unto the earth! Never trust your own eyes, ’cause the devil wears a disguise See the world like a child; see the witchcraft and the wild Out in the barren land, a Rose pushed up through the sand Like a fire split the wood, one eyes opened under her hood You start to forget who you are, what are we doing out this far? Malevolent eyes are watching me, a spiteful sun melts my sanity Double visions haunting you, break yourself back into two Cast a shadow from each side—one to press on, and one to die! -SCENE TWO- (Old Sheriff King limps around his settlement of tattered tents and drying fish, next to a river Deep into the wasteland. From the distance, Perceval approaches the settlement.) SHERIFF K ING: I watched that horse come back A thousand years stuck in my little lump of earth that cracked Another neck, another snap, but I watched her come back I am the King, she is the Zodiac I am the loved and lorn, under my crown of thorns Drink deep now from the horn! The seed becomes the branch, go find my little Blanche Go watch them witches dance, you gotta take your chance They ran King out of town A poison dripped out from his fangs, that little worm called Sour! He stole a holy power, and now the feeble cower But not my little flower They clamped your saddle on Lance got that scorpion—took that to cripple me Just fish for King to eat, stole me up from my sweet Go find her just the same, you let her call your name! A minute lasts a day I watch the sun set on a world that washed the good away One bullet got my name, but King ain’t gonna run I sit and let ’em come! Remember who you are Shine like the brightest star We hang our heads so low, wonder where’d the light go You’ll hear an angel call—go where the good shine falls Mother waits for us all PEGASUS: Follow the water down, find the root in the ground A holy seed from the earth, then push up through the dirt There is a path to the sky, where two rivers align Don’t let them take you again, try to remember your name! Crack the sorcery of Sour’s monstrosity! Perceval run free, come back to me Look up at the moon, child, you will be home soon! Daughter of the sky, mother light divine -SCENE THREE- (The posse comes to a river, and finds a great horse on the far bank.) On, the posse rides A river comes beside Out, the sun cries Deep, the sand bites Calls the desert wide To swallow men inside Nowhere for them to hide Scared to look behind Words have gone dry KAYE: Can we make respite? Take a little light While the heat is high On the other side A great horse, gone wild Crowned in ant lers pride; Herbs and flowers, dried It fills Lance’s eye Holds his rope t ight To break the feral giant Make the fierce pliant A ring of rope flies By the neck, plied Down comes the sky Freedom was a lie He grasps his glowing spike; Plunges it deep to her thigh Shoots his old mare good-night And takes a god to ride Only the cruel smile When the pure are defiled Blanche asks why The horse had to die KAYE: They make us pick sides Just to survive Now don’t you cry You just abide -SCENE FOUR- (At nightfall, Perceval comes across another stream touched by dark magic Meanwhile, in his tent Sour conjures a malevolent spell on the same river. The Hanged Man Now Hanged Rose, struggles to undo her binds. Perceval is helped by an unlikely ally.) The valley wakes to night, another river quakes with spite Between Perceval’s way to rest, the unholy forces and the forest Dark evil rushes ’round the tent, Perceval pushes further into descent She needs safe passage down to sleep, he feeds on righteous blood let to seep Into the rivers hold she creeps, dark fingers quiver up from the deep Came to pull down, to drown, come the hands, shadows grown by Sour’s command Across the Wasteland lays the Hanged Man, st ill bound to hand but life is strong than The hateful coil which st rangles the bough; up from the soil a new rose to grow As the river bones pull the horse t ight, does the sky explode to points of light Hear Corvus call her veiled sprites; Come the Ravens down through their black night! Now beaks hone, and pick away the flesh; now Sour moans as his hands thresh Through the blood and water come to rest, the horse is saved to recommence Sour pulls his hans from his fire, while blazing talons paint the night To the forest Perceval proceeds, in the desert born is a new seed The soil takes, but also gives; the toil makes us fight to live Push through the rot ’t il your last breath, life protects from the pull of death -SCENE FIVE- (At dusk, the Posse arrives at Sheriff King’s settlement, and demands answers.) On the winding t rail, visions come to mind Colours start to run, horizons fall apart St ill the swan is there, just a ways beyond Has it been hours or days since we were sent by Sour? They come to Sheriff’s camp, where death hangs in the air Where the horse has been, searching for the source The King will rise through dust. Kaye won’t meet his eyes Old hollow bones and meat. Demented and alone SHERIFF K ING: I see that rose you got. Your momma, she don’t know You brave enough to see. You gonna take your saddle off! King whispered to Blanche KAYE: Don’t you chat to her Kaye looked at K ing and spat KAYE: Tell, has the horse come through? The sun was going low. Lance blew a plume of smoke King’s night was sett ing soon. One single bead of sweat Each hand held a gun KAYE: Where’s the mare? Kaye yelled The constellation’s heir, has it come this way? King only spoke to Blanche; KING Their world is not your yoke Rose, push up through the rot, they looking out for you When they call her name, his empire will fall! Bad men will face a fire. Won’t be nothing left to chase KAYE Stop talking to that girl! No sense be found on you They pinned him rough to ground. Lance had seen enough Lance shot K ing Blanche cried out Spent his blood Now dark fell Stuck his gun At her heart Took the rose From her lapel Men kill men Flesh for the soil Then by night Devils crawl out On the t rail Snarling dogs Tracked them down By their gods The hanged man Broke her bonds Her roots rose From her soil Perceval Crossed the creek Met a witch In her woods -SCENE SIX- (With the help of Covus’ legions, Perceval is able to cross the stream On the other side, she is met by a young Desert Rose, and led into a dark forest Meanwhile the Posse is hounded by a new enemy.) The witch took her by the lead DESERT ROSE: Let’s go get you something to eat They walked through the forest green. Apples grew where none had been The posse rode through a mystery. Eyes were watching, or so it seemed Behind them, the Shadow Dogs snarled and screamed. Dust and ghosts And blood, and weeds The witch girl became a child. She held the moon in the wink of her eyes Beyond, they heard a great fire. She moved like a creeping vine The posse could feel the breath of the dogs behind them, hunt ing for death A ratt ler wrapped around a rat’s nest. The rope finds its way ’round the neck! The t rees gave way to a clearing. It was sorcer y they were hearing The Rose Coven appearing, ’round a magic fire ’t il morning Lance tore through his platoon. He threw a lantern like a harpoon The dogs slunk back into their dunes. The men made camp by the light of the moon So they dressed the horse in ornament, for the Mother star, as a sacrament The posse pitched their tents on cliffside, Blanche heard music from the valley wild -SCENE SEVEN- (The posse makes camp for night on a cliffside overlooking a wide valley. Blanche makes a discovery.) Hidden under a stone, where all worthy things go Pulsing and fresh grown: the branch of a new rose Blanche reached to pick the bud, it pricked her and drew blood Under the under-sun, for the Coven, a young one She felt her heart grow, she thought of that horse alone BLANCHE: Where you go, I go. I’ll find you a way home Where you go, I go. Where you go, I go Where you go, I go. Where you go, I go
