The 'Gift' of music

Merry Kwanukkamas!

Thought in the spirit of sharing, I'd share some lyrics I wrote a few years ago. It's called Blasphemy and I'm pretty sure it's in 6/8 time for those of you who might want to try to read it 'in rhythm.'

I wrote it a while back, but it still remains one of my favorites! Hope you're all enjoying your holidays!

Peace, love and peppermints!

Blasphemy

You say you’re not sure what you believe
And things aren’t the same as they were before
And you don’t understand why I had to leave
And you don’t know who you can trust anymore

You’re in the darkness searching for light
I’m holding a candle that’s burning so bright
Will you listen this time? Will you hear what I say?
Or will you do like before and just walk away?

Come tonight – And worship at the shrine of my body
Believe that I – Can be the goddess of your soul
Kneel and pray – At the alter for your salvation
And in my embrace
Let me bless you with grace
‘till you’re whole

You say that you’ve lost your faith in love
And you’re not sure if the unseen exists
Cause you’ve never looked upon God above
And you’ve closed your eyes each time that we kissed

But I’m here in complete visibility
And I’m tangible, so please reach out and touch me
Come smell my skin – my breath you can feel
What more can I do to prove that I’m real?

Come tonight – And worship at the shrine of my body
Believe that I – Can be the goddess of your soul
Kneel and pray – At the alter for your salvation
And in my embrace
Let me bless you with grace
‘till you’re whole

It’s foolish – to think you’ll find the way on your own
Completion can never be reached by one all alone
It’s a process, it’s a journey and a whole has two parts
There is triumph, there is failure and there’s light and there’s dark
It’s not simple, it’s not easy, it can hurt, it’s not free
But it’s worth all the pain if you want it to be…

Come tonight…
Just believe…

Try as I might I cannot force your hand
It’s up to you to make your own choice
Even God won’t make you obey commands
Though you can’t deny the pow’r in his voice
You’re contemplating, weighing it out
I could cry, I could beg, I could scream, I could shout
I shiver in silence, your gaze cold as ice
Let me light you on fire with my sacrifice…

Come tonight – And worship at the shrine of my body
Believe that I – Can be the goddess of your soul
Kneel and pray – At the alter for your salvation
And in my embrace
Let me bless you with grace
And in my embrace
Let me bless you with grace
Oh in my
Embrace let
Me bless you
With grace
‘Till
You’re whole

I can heal you
(Come tonight – Just believe)
I can heal you
(Come tonight – Just believe)

I’ll make you whole
