[DIONYSOS]
Gods of the theatre, smile on us

[XANTHIAS]
You who sit up there stern in judgment, smile on us
You who look down on actors

[DIONYSOS]
And who doesn't?

[DIONYSOS & XANTHIAS]
Bless this yearly festival and smile on us

[DIONYSOS]
We offer you song and dance

[XANTHIAS]
We offer you rites and revels

[DIONYSOS & XANTHIAS]
We offer you grace and beauty
Smile on us for this while

[DIONYSOS]
Gods of the theatre, smile on us
