Hermes of the ways

Leader of the ones gone astray

Slayer of the all-seeing

Guardian of the love

Of the mighty one, lord of the clouds

 

You fly like a gull

Brushing the surface ever so slightly

You will find them all

Sending out warriors

Calling great heroes home

 

Hermes of the ways

You defied the great sorceress

Messenger to the will of the king

Of the gods, father to us all

Of the mighty one, lord of the clouds

 

Though you were still young

You were so smart, so bright

Outwitting them all

You stole your brother’s cows

And your father’s heart

You’ve got them all figured out

Giving us music to last forever.
