"dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of god and in the face of this congregation to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony..."
diamonds are forever...
i do take you to be mine forever
(i do take you to be mine forever)
forever and ever and ever...
forever ever...
i'll be by your side til the stars fall from the sky
i will hold your hand til the mountains turn to sand
in sickness and in health
in poverty and wealth
you are mine forever and ever
wash, clean, wash, fold, dry, scrub, wash, clean,
(forever ever)
wash, fold, chop, cut, chop, cut, chop,
(ever ever)
chop, wash, polish, scrub,
he's not home right now i can take a message,
(ever ever)
wash, clean, fold, dry,
(forever ever)
cut, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop
"so long as ye both shall live"...

Father Song

"you know dad, it's funny..."
"what's funny?"
"well, whenever we cook inside, mom always does the cooking, but whenever we cook outside, you always do it. how come?"
"well it's sort of traditional i guess... you know they say a woman's place is in the home and, uh, i suppose as long as she's in the home she might as well be in the kitchen."
i am my father's son
no matter how far i go
it's you i become
i am my father's son
no matter how far i go
it's you i become
now i can see you didn't want the responsibility
i begged for closeness
you gave me space
i would love to blame you
but there's no one here to blame
why can't you hear me?
why can't you see me anymore?
do i need you near me?
what did you raise me for, father?
i am my father's son
no matter how far i go
it's you i become
i am my father's son
no matter how far i go
it's you i become
you weren't hard on me
but you were hardly there
why did you leave me alone
to face the things that you couldn't bear?
now I return to that old story
when it's hard to look at you
shove it down, layer it up,
further, father, where are you?
why can't you hear me?
why can't you see me anymore?
do i need you near me?
what did you raise me for?
i've seen you run from pain
is that what a man does?
is that what a man does?
i've seen you hide your shame
is that what a man does?
is that what a man does?
is that what a man does?
(it's hard because you raised me)
is that what a man does?
(it's hard because you raised me)
is that what a man does?
(it's hard because you raised me)
is that what a man does?
there's no home in you anymore
you closed that door long ago
where did you go?

Bird of Prey

|
run, run, run
run, run, run
run, run...
hate me if you want to
go ahead show your teeth
but know that you're more scared of you
than you are of me
you thought you had a song bird
but I'm a bird of prey
and though you may open your windows
i won't fly away, won't fly away
you can run, run, run
you can run, run...
hate me if you want to
i've got a heart of stone
i live for the rush of your blood
when i crush your little bones
you thought you had a songbird
but I'm a bird of prey
and though you may run for the hills
i can hear your heart beating from miles away
you can run, run, run
you can run, run, run
you can run, run, run,
you can run, run...
i'll break, i'll strip, i'll tear you down
i'll cut your skin, you'll wear my crown
i'll pull, i'll push, i'll wear you out
i'll bend your back, you'll scream and shout
i'll give you all my pain
my gift will be this pain
my pain is your pain
i would've given you everything
you just had to ask
i would've given you everything
you just had to ask
you just had to ask
you just had to ask

all I see all around me
beckons to me, calls my name
every beast, fruit, and flower
lives to serve my holy reign
i am the master of this land
i am the master of this land
god will grant every desire
he has made me a sacred vow
i will tame all that is wild
all the earth will be mine to plow
i am the master of this land
i am the master of this land
i am the man
you'll be just fine
when the memories have died
you'll be just fine
when the memories of you have died
you'll be just fine
(i'll be just fine)
when the memories have died
(memories have died)
you'll be just fine
when the memories of you/me have died
i'll/you'll be just fine
when the memories have died
i'll/you'll be just fine
when the memories of you/me have died
how beautiful for spacious skies
for amber waves of grain
for purple mountains majesty
above the fruited plain
my glory, my power, my land!
my glory, my power, my land!
(one way or another
i'm gonna find you
i'm gonna get you)
"and then everything went black"

En El Centro De Todo
03:38
|

into the earth, into the tomb
welcome to the womb...
"welcome to the womb"
aullo de luna, la noche estrellada
bugambilia y magnolia, la tierra mojada
canto de nube, susurro de otoño
marea encendida, danzante retoño
colores de estío, el canto del grillo
orquidea callada, el llanto de un niño
juego en el lodo, orilla de piedra
silencio de polvo, poema de hiedra
Y en el centro de todo
en el centro de todo
en el centro de todo
en el centro del todo
"my womb is a starry sky populated by pomegranate and plum trees. between my legs is a vivified forest of obscene magnolias. an uninhibited scent of life dances through her undergrowth, reminding the wise of a time when humans talked to mud and music was made by the light of neon moons. let it be known, she does not live in the dictionary. she speaks in hushed tones full of swallows, foxtails, and musk. the language is simple, a simple yes, a simple no. my womb is filled with larksong. her landscapes ache with the earthy giggle of moss and clay and if you listen closely, you'll hear the source of all song inside her cavernous silence. my womb is the center of the earth. she blackholes all of existence in her toothless mouth. at her doorstep, at the threshold, in brutal silence, she says, 'all those who enter must be willing to die'"

Death Waltz
02:54
|
|||
|
what it means to die under the world
grasping for something to hold
what you call suicide
i call searching for pearls
and as i seek, i find eyes that forgot how to see
how lucky am i in this life
to have the privilege to learn how to die
this is my death waltz
this is my death
hold tight
never mind there's nothing to hold
there's just silence
but i'll fight
cause all I've ever known is violence
lucky for me, my identity
no longer screams to be pleased
so i'll take one last breath
and dive to the depths
to die is to finally be free
this is your death waltz
this is your death
(this is your death waltz)...

Warrior Mother And Child

from the black light
i emerge, she emerges, we merge
from the black light
i emerge, she emerges, we merge into one
hear me child
know me for what i am
i have been with you
since you were born
i am the womb
from which all things are born
i am the shadowy still tomb
to which all must return
seek my face
and you will find
all you have sought
in my embrace
i am the fire
that will warm you at night
i am the healer of wounds
the warrior, mother, and child
dancing with us now
(dancing!)
dancing with us now you are
(dancing!)
dancing with us now...
i am you
i am you
i am you...
i am the web which connects all things
i will protect you
i will enfold you
i will embrace what is broken inside you
i am beside you
i am behind you
i am within you always
(i am you)
always
(i am you)
always
(i am you)
i am you

I'm Coming Home

how could i
why did i
kiss your neck
then hold your head underwater?
how could i
why did i
hide the stars
then watch you crack
watch you come apart?
why?
whatever you've done
whatever you've said
whatever veins you've bled
my arms are open
always to you
whatever you've done
whatever you've said
whatever wounds you've opened
they are healed
you have a home here
you have a home here
you have a home
here
i'm coming home
(i've been waiting i've been waiting)
i'm coming home
(i've been waiting i've been waiting)
i'm coming home
(we've been waiting we've been waiting)
home
you are my home

Back To The Garden
04:54

|
love me all you want to
here I'll stay
you've met the fury of my fears
with the depths of your grace
you thought you had a songbird
but I'm the sky above
and if you gaze into my heavens
i'll swallow you up, swallow you up
and we'll be one, one, one
we'll be one, one, one
love me if you want to
i've got a heart of gold
i live in the hush of the silence
the tenderness we hold
you thought you had a songbird
but i'm the sky above
wherever you wander
my light will surround you
reflecting the glory of love
we are one, one, one
we are one, one, one
we'll water the garden
make love in the garden
sing in the garden
grow old in the garden
we'll dance in the sunlight
make love with the moon
we'll dance in the sunlight
make love with the moon
(water the garden, water the garden)...
we'll dance in the sunlight
(i'll be by your side)
make love with the moon
(til the stars fall from the sky)
(water the garden, water the garden)...
we'll dance in the sunlight
(i will hold your hand)
make love with the moon
