Pray, tell me the story of young Cuchulainn
How his eyes were dark his expression sullen
And how he’d fight and always won
And how they cried when he was fallen

One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well’ve been closed

The “Vestal Virgins” were the virgin holy priestesses of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth and home. There were six of them chosen by lot and they were sworn to celibacy. Their main task was to maintain the sacred fire of Vesta. The Vestal duty brought great honor and afforded greater privileges to women who served in that role. The Vestals lived in the Atrium Vestae near the circular Temple of Vesta at the eastern edge of the Roman Forum.

Found on Chase’s second album, it was a six-song progressive jazz/rock suite that encompassed the entire second side of the album. The titles and lyrics referenced Greek mythology, gods, and goddesses including Cronus, Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, and Pluto. It’s worth a listen…

Not sure if that’s parenthesized correctly.
