Persephone
03:32
|
|||
|
Tears falling
from the sky
the mother weeps
the maiden dies
Persephone is
underground
the Earth is lost
but her soul
is found
Chorus:
Only Persephone knows
What is above
And what is below
What secrets does
She share with him
All of life
will return again
Morning glories
entwine her there
he's placed
a golden wreath in her hair
placed a golden wreath
in her hair
Chorus
Dark clouds
are overhead
to drench
the thirsty again
from her crown
the rain descends
like a lover
or a long lost friend
like a lover
or a long lost friend
Chorus

Shekinah

|
Will you ever see me
in the waters
crystal where
can we ever journey
to find each other
and tarry there
I will bring
the blossoms
of the spring
we will rise
to kiss the sky on
white wings
the sun is sleeping
dreaming to wake again
the Earth is keeping
her child deep within
The winter mother's waiting
to pass the longest night
while all the world
is praying to behold at last
the reborn light
I have seen
the world in your eyes
and starlight gleam
and linger there
until the new sunrise
until the new sunrise
until the new sunrise

The Priest
02:29

|
I still wish that you could see
from the place before I fell from thee
part of my soul was lost that day
a golden ring that slipped away
I still wait for love to
stir your heart and shine
back through
my faith is standing tall
I am not afraid to fall
now I see you
sitting at the temple gate
fighting inside to
hold back your hate
I still wish that you could see
from the place before I fell from thee
a part of my soul was lost that day
a golden ring that slipped away
I will wait for love to
stir your heart and shine back through
my faith is standing tall
I am not afraid to fall
we were meant to be
from dawn's eternity
our sadness has washed away
love has conquered
our darkest day

Asherah
04:18
|
|||
|
asherah who is the queen of heaven
golden in the temple she stands
beside the king
and win her priestesses bow
a cry rises to the purple sky
there is a place
a castle on high
to enter in
you must rise in the sky
and see her golden shrine
a light with amber shining fire
inside her golden
and radiant room
time washes away
with changing moon
she'll let you rest inside
and in your heart
you'll feel her reply
with her burning fire
asherah queen of heaven
hear our prayers
shine your radiant grace
to us your children
may we never forget
compassion
and the love
you have shown to us
why do you wait
to find what you feel
the truest things
are there but concealed
by her veiled face
a treasure made of grace
asherah behind the patterned veil
holy in the temple she stands
the cherubim
wrought with silver and gold
all heavens at her command
asherah queen of heaven
you have dried the tears from my eyes
and held me in your arms
as a mother and child
in your eternal embrace
my soul has been found.

Carnelian Wings
03:19
|
|||
|
I saw the stars at night
when I closed my eyes
they spoke to me
you are my falling star
come to Earth
from a far-off place
and cannot see
chorus
the angel in the garden
has Carnelian wings
and his flaming sword
it follows me
and oh my wanderer
you weren't cast down
for your mistakes
but to feel desire
you are the serpent
in the tree
and are beloved by all
you are holy fire
chorus
you fly up to the cherubim
praying when your soul is seen
that they will know you
but all of the angels
are caught in prayer
to the deity that's there
and cannot see through
chorus

Sacred Flame
02:44
|
|||
|
and when they made
the angry god
they told the priestesses
to come away
the priestesses remained
to tend the sacred flame
by the new god they were slain
what is eternal cannot die
it just burns brighter
on with time
I know the fire of passion
burns in our hearts
the fire of the gods
and their love for all
and the flame still burns
and passed on to the children
it returns
and when I see a little child
with radiant light
shining in their eyes
my heart grows warm
because I know
the flame will never die
the priestesses remain
the priestesses remain
the priestesses remain

Lilith
07:26
|
|||
|
In the shadows lies the lady
Lilith is dreaming
while men are waiting
she rides a red wind
made of desire
be careful or you'll
be consumed in her fire
chorus:
her love is the strongest wine
pressed from the grape
one kiss from her lips
the rest she will take
sahar salim sahar salim
sahar salim cadosh elohim
sahar salim cadosh elohim
Into the tent of the qadeshim
you'll be called
her pleasures will drive you mad
she won't let you fall
chorus
in the shadow she is weeping
in the desert the owls are screeching
to fly to the moon on her black wings
to dance in the fire to appear in your dreams
chorus

Yemaya
03:47
|
|||
|
The river flows slowly to the sea
and I know that I will be set free
oh carry me from the river's edge
to the ocean queen my soul
will be led
chorus:
yemaya dagan tolokun
iya moaye egun
yemaya dagan tolokun
iya moaye egun
Her palace lies beneath
the ocean waves
in coral caves
she whispers out your name
oh come to me
children of the world
and I yemaya
will make your dreams unfurl
chorus

Holy Hill
03:05
|
|||
|
there's a place I go
when I want to talk
to my own soul
it's like a winding road
and it ends just where it starts
it is my heart's true home
I see them all in white robes
a sacred procession
of the red red rose
they go to the holy hill
where the pilgrims have gone for
a thousand years
They are crystal water clear
and of the gods they love they have no fear
they have learned
to shed their pride
and the weight
of all the darkness
that is held inside
and when I see them pass by
there is only love in their eyes
and when I touch their hands
a blessing passes through me
and I understand
I see the battle of our soul
to release what holds us back
and just let go
why are we so afraid
of gods we’re meant to love
into the devil man has made
I see them all in white robes
a sacred procession
of the red red rose
they go to the holy hill
where the pilgrims
have gone for a thousand years
and when I see them pass by
there is only love
in their eyes
and when I touch their hands
a blessing passes through me
and I understand

Ivory Tower
04:13
|
|||
|
I saw you in your tower
so high I couldn't touch you
shimmering like a crystal
held in space
you are a jewel
in the crown
of an ancient queen
She cannot see you
only wears you
like her pride
she cannot hear you
not know the sadness inside
sometimes I look
into your eyes
and see reflections of myself
lost in you who could I be
I've never known
such a lonely place as you
yet you are my only home
and where you go I'll go too
Why do you wait
ancient queen
for your lover by the gate
to break your gaze
and set you free
Can you believe
in the day a knight
will come along
and take you away
out of the dark
out of the dark
I saw you in your tower
so high I couldn't touch you

Jewel
04:39
|
|||
|
can you still see me
through love's eyes
falling
a new door
opened the way
a precious jewel
that shown on that day
I still believe in you
that your heart will shine true
though we have fallen down
love lost
will be found
our love
was a rose with thorns
we held back too much
till our hearts became worn
now I see
what we expected to be
an answer to questions
too hidden to see
should I believe in you
when the trust has fallen through
did I let myself feel too fast
caught in the patterns
of my past
Let us fly to the south
where we can be free
release one another
and let this love be
our beauty was lost along
the way
it will return when
innocence stays
I still believe in you
that your heart will shine true
the we have fallen down
love lost will be found
love lost will be found
love lost will be found
