G

Artemis and Diana come

C

Come with your mighty bows

D

Come to the rabid dogs of the world

C G

Put them down, lay them down, lay them to rest in this thawing ground

Let the laughing daffodils of spring devour this wound

E ʻai ka ʻakaʻaka o ka puna i kēia ʻeha

C D7 Bm C

Sing to them as you lay them down an offering to our home this earth

G Em

In the jungle gym of joy made up of sweet flowers

C D7 Bm C

Come in the sweet flow of a river of bees honey

D G

Come to the rabid dogs of the world

The mighty bow takes aim

ʻO ke kakaka ikaika e kuhikuhi

And lays the rabid dogs to rest

hoʻomoe i nā ʻīlio huhū e hoʻomaha

G

Artemis and Diana come

C

Come with your mighty bows

D

Come to the rabid dogs of the world

C G

Put them down, lay them down, lay them to rest in this thawing ground

And we ask, let no more arise

A ke noi aku nei makou, mai ala hou mai

Until We are back in balance

A hiki i ko mākou hoʻi ʻana i ke kaulike

C D7

Turn our minds to our values

Bm C

Values that draw us back into balance

G Em

The ice is melting and there is no going back

C D7 Bm C

In the downward spiral when the winds come and we harm our children

D G

Help us to lay the rabid dogs down

Swiftly, sweetly, with compassion, kindness, and gentlness

G

Artemis and Diana come

C

Come with your mighty bows

D

Come to the rabid dogs of the world

C G

Put them down, lay them down, lay them to rest in this thawing ground

Let the laughing daffodils of spring devour this wound

E ʻai ka ʻakaʻaka o ka puna i kēia ʻeha

The mighty bow takes aim

ʻO ke kakaka ikaika e kuhikuhi

And lays the rabid dogs to rest

hoʻomoe i nā ʻīlio huhū e hoʻomaha

And we ask, let no more arise

A ke noi aku nei makou, mai ala hou mai

Until We are back in balance

A hiki i ko mākou hoʻi ʻana i ke kaulike

Come Diana Come

Hele mai Diana Hele mai

Come Artemis Come

hele mai artemis hele mai

Come great archers come

Hele mai na pana pua nui

Lay to rest what seeks to be laid to rest

E hoʻomaha i ka mea e ʻimi nei e hoʻomaha

Aho!

Mahalo!

And so it is
