Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "The Return of Pan" von The Waterboys handelt von der Wiederkehr des griechischen Gottes Pan in die moderne...

I stood upon the balcony with my brand new bride
The clink of bells came drifting down the mountainside
When in our sight something moved
- lightning eyed and cloven-hooved
The Great God Pan is alive !

He moves amid the world of men in disguise
It's possible to look into His immortal eyes
He's like a man you'd meet any place
Until you recognize that ancient Face
The Great God Pan is alive !

At sea on a ship in a thunderstorm
On the very night the Christ was born
A sailor heard from overhead
A mighty voice cry "Pan is Dead!"
So follow Christ as best you can
Pan is dead - Long live Pan !

From the olden days and up through all the years
From Arcadia to the stone fields of Inisheer
Some say the Gods are just a myth
But guess Who I've been dancing with...
The Great God Pan is alive !

Arcadia, Greece June 1990
