Light in the Darkness
05:00
|

You come and take away my fear
You come and wipe away my tears
When this world is tumbling down
I’ve found my heart no longer needs to drown
chorus:
‘cause you are the Light in my Darkness
You are the hand that I can hold
When there’s nothing but noise you are my silence
My life is a story you have told
I have to believe in something real
I have to remember not to think just to feel
Give me the strength to change what I can
And the courage to accept your plan
(chorus)
Look out my window
See the black crows circling the sky
But they don’t know I’ve got a diamond
Right here between my eyes

Feeling so lost
Didn’t know where to turn
Watching all my bridges burn
Got to find out where I belong
Her words can make me strong
pre-chorus:
(She says)
Where you are now is where you’re meant to be
Make your choice it’s easy
You can live in fear and doubt
Or you can try to work it out (and)
chorus:
Give it up to the Goddess
Tell your Mother what’s been troubling you
(you’ve got to)
Give it up to the Goddess
You know She will see you through
For there to be darkness
There must be light
For me to be wrong
Sometimes I must be right
Whatever I feel whatever I know
I am alive so I must grow
(Pre-chorus and Chorus)
You were born for a reason
Got to stop all that people pleasing
Make a change step out bold
Don’t you know your life is gold
(Pre-chorus and Chorus)

The Garden
04:29
|
|||
Thistles blew around the afternoon
The breeze blew in across the crystal lake
Wandering the paths of memories lost
Scent of blossoms heavy on the air
On the air
On the air
Where I come from I cannot know
How I came to be I cannot tell
All I know is hidden in the moment
Far away you think of me again
Again
Again
And somewhere there’s a clock running backwards
Telling me I’m running out of time
I’ll play Morning of the Ghost for you
When it’s though then I’ll be on my way
Whispering the lies you thought were true
I’ll bide my time and track the stars by night
By night
By night
And somewhere there’s a clock running backwards
Telling me I’m running out of time
Yes somewhere there’s a light shining darkness
Illuminating shadows in my mind
And I’m running through The Garden
Yes I’m running through The Garden
Yes I’m running through The Garden
Searching for the Gate
Searching for the Gate
Searching for that Flaming Gate

Here’s song about a little girl that I once used to know
In the fountain from the oak tree little pebble wishes we would throw
Little pebble wishes we would throw
chorus:
She could see through time and space
She could dance alone
She could ask stupid questions
And she learned how to smile at it
All the day she played her people
How they used to travel far
In the grove old Christmas lights
And demons out the bedroom window
Demons out the bedroom window
As she grew up
The people faded
Her mind made up
Not contaminated
How things would break
Things would shatter
In her cave it wouldn't matter
(chorus)
Oh how she learned to
See through time and space
How to dance alone
How to ask stupid questions
And how to cry at it all
Here’s a song about a little girl that I once used to know
Here’s a song about a little girl

Ugly feel a little ugly
Is that girl in the mirror really me?
Maybe there’s no one to blame but me
So I’ll just shove another chocolate in my face
And pray this feeling goes away
Pray this feeling goes away
Pray this feeling goes away
Pray this feeling goes away
But does God really listen anyway?
Lumpy feel a little lumpy
None of these clothes want to fit
And so my charm just fades that little bit more
Lumpy feeling fat and ugly
No it’s not my period so
Hey hey fuck you bud
I’ll loosen this noose around my neck
Got to loosen this noose around my neck
Loosen this noose around my neck
See what it feels like to breathe
Sisters burst your blisters
And spit in the face of those who oppress you!
Yeah Sisters burst your blisters
And spit in the face of those who would oppress you!
Sisters they’re only trying to twist us
So spit in their face
How sweet the taste of Amazing Grace
My skin only keeps me in
Yeah my skin only keeps me in
My skin only keeps me in
So tell me where is Beauty?
What is Beauty?
Where is Beauty?
Ugly
I’m not ugly
I just refuse to conform to those patriarchal norms
Ugly
I’m not ugly
I just refuse to take heed of that misogynistic creed
Ugly
I’m not ugly
Ugly ugly ugly
C’mon!

Boiling Bitter Wine
05:52
|
|||
chorus:
Boiling bitter wine
To soak my senses dry
Boiling bitter wine
Should I feel something
When I feel nothing
A pawn at your altar
Your beaded forehead
What would you say
If I ran away
Before he placed his hand on my head?
But Daddy I’m a grown up girl
Beating a path in this blown up world
I don’t need you to hold my hand
I don’t need you to understand
I don’t need your manufactured deeds from Above
I just want your Love
That would be enough
But how you forced it down that
(chorus)
So now I’m at the bar
Just drinkin’ and suckin’ tar
Yeah I’ll have another
I’ll take on you and your brother
You won’t know what hit ya in the pants
Now I’m the bride
But I don’t see you at my side
Bearing your babies but cleaning your ass
While you run around in that chariot of yours
I’m leaving now before I live the lie
The mouth of this bottle is cold
As cold as a fleshless kiss
The smell of this room is old
Staler than staler than this
(chorus)
Give me something to feel
There must be something to feel
Oh give me something to feel
There must be something to feel
Oh give me something to feel
There is nothing to fear now
Cause I’m at my altar
Wearing beads around my neck
Aeons ago you were the ones absorbing all my health
So I’ll bring this cup to my lips
And swallow down these pips
And one day soon I’ll be growing vines of my own
One day soon your line will come undone
One day soon
One day soon
One day soon
That line will come undone

Jezebel
05:25
|

chorus:
Jezebel
Remove your veil
Let the sun warm your pink seashell
Dance the dance of a thousand nights
And the wind like a thief
Will steal all sighs
Painted face
Averted eyes
Daughter of Babylon
You will rise
Above the silk
Beyond the jewelled wall
Chase your pulse
Obey your call
(chorus)
Samaria
Will be green again
Your name still stirs the lust of Men
Immortalised by the baying hounds
Keepers of Moonlight
Hear them howl!
(chorus)

Dear Lady

Follow the road dear lady
Over the hill dear lady
You will find your feet
When you think you’ve been beat
And the road will go on dear lady
I’ve known ye long dear lady
And I know that you’re strong dear lady
And you’re never alone or far from home
‘Long as you follow your heart dear lady
There’ll come a time dear lady
When you’ll know your own mind dear lady
And all the tears that you’ve shed
And all the blood that you’ve bled
Will write the words to this song dear lady
Softly your step dear lady
Dance with me dear lady
For the night is young
With life just begun
And your life is a dance dear lady

Burning Times
04:24
|

I will take me back in time
Where the fields are ripe with barley and rye
It will be where I am found
With my ear pressed up close to the ground
In the village there are voices
Travelling between the lips of fear
The night brings calming noises
Of life that knows no boundaries
I am the one they are hunting
For I know too much and a woman never should
Reveal the source of wanting
If this is right then the devil’s misunderstood
These dungeons they call holy
Are filled with screams from the recently deranged
Damned are they too early
By the ones who fail to learn from the strange
My flesh is torn asunder
The altar cracks and bleeds down the rack
Devices oiled and new
Mary you bitch you never warned us did you
I am the one they are burning
For I feel too much and a woman never should
Reveal the source of yearning
If this is right then the devil’s misunderstood
Flames leap higher
Take me deeper
I heard you moan that day in the fields
I’ll make the call and forgive them
For they know not what they do
Throughout the ages
Throughout the pages
Of his-story
Forever more

Beautiful Deity
I know you’re watching me
From Infinity
Wink your silver eye at me
Behind every shooting star
Beneath every coral bed
Your song is singing
And dancing around and around my head
Swirling twirling
Swirling twirling
My flesh your soil
The thoughts I breathe
Water coursing through my veins
And fire make my spirit bleed
Burn and bleed
Burn and bleed
I watch your face
Staring back at me
Close my eyes
And I see all Three
I see all Three
I see all Three
O Beautiful Deity
I know you’re watching me
From Infinity
Wink your silver eye
