(Dearly beloved we are gathered together in the presence of God and these witnesses
To join this man and this woman in the bonds of holy matrimony
Do you Tammy take this man George to be your lawfully wedded husband
To love and to cherish until death do you part)
I'll take this man and by him I'll stand I promise that we'll never part
To him I'll be true there'll be no one new from now till death do us part
(And do you George take this woman Tammy to be your lawfully wedded wife
To love and to cherish until death do you part)
Yes I'll take this woman she'll be mine forever and I'll love her with all of my heart
To have and to hold my love won't grow cold I promise till death do us part
We'll take each other from this day forward together in sickness or health
United with love we'll face life together if we're poor or if we have wealth
For better or worse you'll always come first and no one can keep us apart
Yes we take each other forsaking all others together till death do us part
(I now pronounce you man and wife)

This is why events unnerve me,
They find it all, a different story,
Notice whom for wheels are turning,
Turn again and turn towards this time,
All she ask's the strength to hold me,
Then again the same old story,
World will travel, oh so quickly,
Travel first and lean towards this time.
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Watching her, these things she said,
The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time.
Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,

And into the sea goes pretty England and me
Around the Bay of Biscay and back for tea
Hit traffic on the Dogger bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide and go asleep
And the radio says
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone it will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo
On the Tyne Forth and Cromarty
There's a low in the high forties
Saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough dear
And on the Malin Head
Blackpool looks blue and red
And the queen, she's gone round the bend
Jumped off Land's End
And the radio says
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you are alone it will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you are alone it will be there with you
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you are alone it will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo

It's a ceremony
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a ceremony
Oil and blood ceremony
Hold an eagle feather to my heart, yeah
On my heart
A time for magic driftin' in
Pushin' molten fire music in
Yeah, fire music in, oh
We are gathered here now in a sacred place
Yeah, yeah
Ceremony
Funky style music got you good, now children
Ceremony
Rock n' roll music got you good, good baby
Ceremony
Funky style music got you good, now children
Ceremony
Rock n' roll music got you good, oh
Ancient rhythm hit machine
Ritual music flowing strong and free
Flowing strong and free
A celebration that we need
To cleanse a world that is bleeding deep
Ooh, don't let her bleed, no
Oh, we are gathered here in a sacred place, yeah yeah
Ceremony
Rock n' roll music got you good, now children
Ceremony
Funky style music got you good, baby
Ceremony
Rock n' roll music got you good, good, good, girl
Ceremony
Funky style music got you good, ow
Baby, baby, baby...

And we need to gather together
To embrace what we have forgotten
So we can live, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

So here is the ritual
I can't tell you what I go through
I've been through heaven and hell for you
All night, all night long
Satin dreams all covered in sweat
When I wake, hot to the touch
I swear to god, you'll be the death of me yet
You are my ceremony
You are my ceremony
You are my ceremony
Now here we are, both skin to skin
Your body sacred, we're about to begin
All night, all night long
Watch the moon, let it drop from the sky
Understand I might draw first blood
But I won't sting like the rattlesnake's bite
One day you'll feel it like I do
A fire deep in the heart so true
If I take you, understand
I might explode like a bomb in your hand
So what should I say Is it the ancient dance of lovers
Is it the comin' rain

Raise the dead to hear them scream again
It's a prize in its own right
Equal in death at last,
with no exceptions made
There's no escape in this and
that's how it ends
This is my ceremony
A blood rite to spite your kind
Smalltown kings and queens
Falling over-it's so concealed.
So let this day remain and linger
(until) the memories come crawling your way
Sinking deeper, closer to who you were
The pain will truthfully bring you home
This is my ceremony
A blood rite to spite your kind
A fire burning deep within me
Become stone in time
sink it into oblivion, endless.
Crawl
Become the master of this pyramid
Venom
Runs like blood through you veins
The more you deny it
the closer it gets
Resisting is futile,
this ends in a coffin kiss.
This is my ceremony
A blood rite to spite your kind

It's a ceremony
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a ceremony
Oil and blood ceremony
Hold an eagle feather to my heart, yeah
On my heart
A time for magic driftin' in
Pushin' molten fire music in

So here is the ritual
I can't tell you what I go through
I've been through heaven and hell for you
All night, all night long
Satin dreams all covered in sweat
When I wake, hot to the touch
I swear to god, you'll be the death of me yet
You are my ceremony

Now here we are, both skin to skin
Your body sacred, we're about to begin
All night, all night long

One day you'll feel it like I do
A fire deep in the heart so true
If I take you, understand
I might explode like a bomb in your hand
CHORUS :
So what should I say Is it the ancient dance of lovers
Is it the comin' rain
Or is it the passion of something more strange
CHORUS :

You have the right to remain silent, anything you say
Can and will be used against you in a court of law.
To strip away the myth from the man is only dealing
With the symptoms in this critical condition, the disease
is untouched.
You saw what they did to me,
Don't tell me to forget.
Have you no sense of decency?
How can you justify arrest?
And now the charges are enraged
(Within this ceremony)
Imprisoned with a kiss, betrayed
(Within this ceremony)
The crucifixion of the faith
For all the loved ones left unnamed
We fought to give them life,
We touched the very soul
In the ancient funeral, The ceremony rites.
His faith relentlessly attacked and discredited
When your enemy can find a way of twisting your
Motives, believe he will.
To be convicted without fatal charm's infection,
When the perfect light upon him was corrupted by void,
Self-righteously judged.
To die in the line of duty, I am complete in its truth.
If you have died to the world, what can the world do
to you?
Into the darkness of the night
(Begins the ceremony)
Into the shadow of a dream
(Begins the ceremony)
Announce the coming of the white prophet and take
This cup away from me,
And stand in the light the superstar beholds,
In the ancient funeral, the ceremony rites.
We are conceived as the first circle, the book of
Knowledge surely tells,
We are all part of an unseen conflict within the world
And within ourselves.
And now we're closer to the light
(Release this ceremony)
And now we must prepare the way
(Release this ceremony)
Remove the ancient boundaries to give the son of man
His day,
To roll away the stone and rise to the throne
In awaited resurrection, the Ceremony rites.

This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she ask's the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
World will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Watching her, these things she said,
The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time.
Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
Letting me know, forever.

Don't tell me it's over just yet
Because when you said you would be here forever
I figured that bought us some time
But time past through us
And left you wanting more
But this is it kid
Our hearts beat for it
It doesn't get any better than this
So don't look back
Don't look down
What could have been isn't even an option
I'm thinking clearly for the very first time
I'm a fuck up
A highschool dropout but I see this world for what it really is
Bright skies and countrysides in a land that talks in tongues
Where do we go from here
Is this all we have
Will we ever get out
Here's to our fucking youth spent wasted out
I know I promised you more but
Fuck what you think
Fuck everything
Fuck regret

The neighborhood ball player
Quiet [?] round them girls
Who knew that you've been flying round the world
I never call for nobody see I did a lot of baby steppin
I came a long way from 87 I was some pretty girls chilling out
[?] out in Paris
They can do [?] already this blesses I can [?]
I've seen a lot in my life the kind of things make you rewind twice
Now is lime light but wait you see something is missing
Let me tell you out these drakes of position
I'm on tour chillin [?] with my [?] back home
[?] call my mama I guarantee the changes of perception
See I ain't really got a clue fans coming to my shows with more money than I do
And it really gets no really in that
Gotta know I'm feeling now if I'm giving you that
[Hook:]
I need a ceremony 'cause I didn't came a long way
But even further to go but before I finish a show
I think I need a ceremony, I need a ceremony
Cause I need a ceremony 'cause I came a long way
But even further to go but before I finish a show
Somebody tell me what's confidence without beliefs
What's a city full of games without a chief
Thinking gotta made it this far I have overcome the undertaken
Came through the storm but another's one waiting
Under dog love from fans hoping it ain' t [?]
Turn around and yeah from now [?] full of hatery
I've seen happing before so if I got it face it
I'm ready I'm still looking for miss right
Or release miss night for the right
Nobody knows this life could like
Family functions friends waiting for sacrifice
All just in right [?] worst in them mike
But this is all I got and this is all I have
I let my work and my crib [?]
A south side city boy is my testimony
I think it's time we had a ceremony,
I need a ceremony
Hey hey 'cause I didn't came a long way
But even further to go but before I finish a show
I think I need a ceremony, I need a ceremony
Cause I need a ceremony 'cause I came a long way

Nigh to life and a life nigh to peace and full-peace never have i eluded the fact facts are inescapable First being war, war is near first being way, war is hear Watch the high bolt take everything Turn your head to see turn your back to follow what has happened? War of all against all.

Getting closer to the breaking point, With blatant words my voice is shot, while my skull takes another hit, I try to cover my broken nose. Body's weak, lacks courage and pride each blow is more brutal than the last. Seeing my mistakes slowly seep into the earth bearing scars that open now and then, each tells a different story I could really give a fuck if I ever win or lose. Your wounds become a part of you. They condone the real truth.

There's a conflict being fought, which weighs us down as we ignore it. You can taste it on our tongue feel it burning through our skin, solutions can take away the years, still it lingers in the air we breathe. Trying to escape the past each second sucks blood out of me. Forced to wear all my misfortunes Grow up like a modern man, still I can't find time to made amends. Such a hopeless wreck swearing with a spited tongue everything I gave out, I am getting back. When I die, I'll burn in hell. Resting in a bed of sins.

Law's On My Back Pressure's Always On Never Able Do Things On My Own The Way We Dress Disturbs Them All They Push Against The Wall They Tell Us Our Rights Just Because Fight Cant Understand At All Law's On My Back Pressure's Always On Never Able Do Things On My Own They Keep Their Eyes On Us Ready For A Bust Don't They Have Any Trust? But Who Are They To Say? I Do Things My Own Way

Young adults find out that they keep coming back
Back to a corner a street a place to be
Where buildings are nothing but holes in the ground
As we get old changing the colors of walls
Breaking from home crossing the bridge
Living outside the gold state seems amiss
Somewhere I saw faces and hands
fighting for space on a clock
It didn't show time being precious as silver and gold
Proving us we're wrong all of us move on
We got for a ride we slow down and die
We have to give up things we love sometimes
That dream about tumbling down a hill in a car
Happened again last night

Living from the chest
Living through the day
Under blankets closeted
Behind the shop closing doors
On the rooftops in panel floors
The man remembers easier days
Before death went searching for his pain
Before day troubles before the stint
Hands cracked and calloused from surroundings
Son replaces father when father dies
He eats dead things to stay alive
His wife became widow it didn't take long
In the stomach was a stone that dropped from her heart
It stayed in her a year until a crack
The weight of her loss put her on her back
Resistance is a place where nothing lasts
The Pacific is a place where nothing lasts
A Pacific made of ash
Brace yourself

Disconsolate apart from the crash aside from the stone faced mad in the eyes I won't buy optimism no happy money no complacence histrionic general public sickness foul mouth ridden mass republic grant me the madness to drive me away exploding my insides total dismay

Biting down on my lip making sure I feel the pain. It seems like rain is coming down in cement blocks of two's and three's, one more drop could drown us all I stand outside to watch it fall. Bite down.

Back in 84' i nearly choked on the u-cord until my dad came and cut me loose he said, 'the pain you felt today, it will never go away' and 'the best way out is always through'. He said, 'watch out for the world trying to shape you living here you got to know the truth' twenty five years later everything is the same a civilization gone deaf-mute

I've given up too many nights In hopes to hide away with sleep, Running from my enemy, but still she drags me by the feet. There's days when I can't find the time or even care to open my eyes. I drill the clock into the wall pass hours until I'm wrinkled thin. Nightmares seem to follow me, It's getting hard to remember my dreams. If I stay awake tonight I'll gain much more than growing old, Now each eyelid shut - I'm giving in but never giving up. Wake up.

Tell me I don't need a blade that's razor sharp just to keep my thoughts under a lock and key. Making bad decisions press along while nails dig into me, scream for help but no one cares It doesn't matter anyway. Light won't carry through the room. The doors are locked. It's darkening. Every step I take gets worse. Solutions seem to fail me.

Late at night living with myself i'm burning up all the time around the first of the month i'm breaking down all the time walking with my eyes to sky i'm outside in all the time at the end of each day i'm digging dirt all the time I was going on about town walked into a puddle and was put out I don't burn like i did when i was twenty two

all the difference is gone diversity taken by schools of thought I can't feel my imagination coward world slain by monotonous rot drive your car through the house jump ten stories to greet the crowd before the passion descends to gray all the colors turn to residual waste

hunted by badges followed by pigs ugly prostration you've wept your dignity imperial reich spreads fear and disease controlled by tyrants hate consumes me raise hell to bide this race you're in use sex to dish the filth fuck the government with your fist

Ordinary people we do ordinary things
Work is our water and we drink
Our eyes are a condition always moving our minds
Living inside a house of cards
Sublunary people we do sublunary things
Strangers of this world actors playing a disease
Burning through night its love that we crave

I use to know this kid always sitting on the side nobody spoke with him, they thought him rather odd he had reptile skin he lived a weird life he smoked his cigarettes he lived on paperbacks When he was alone he found things were the same only happier than a man of open head Open my head Open head

I'm here to wrap my hands around society's neck. Slowly slip away against a lifeless grip. A long painful death is what you deserve, open your mouth, bite the fucking curb. Born into a vicious circle you learn to cut a the throat. Watching people lining up in tight single file rows. I still revolve around a world I choose to cut off. One nation under god over a burning cross.

Pacing the room dragging my feet
Watching the fog fill the street
Melody Drive empty at ten
Houses look bolted and low set
The network shows the movies
About persons through the blinds
Watching waiting and everyone cries
I felt the woman come closer
Fifty years moved from picture to picture
Inside it was pouring rain
I could hear the drops hit the screen
And nothing's the same as it was before
Outside the video
I would have loved to be there
To see it
Video

unsatisfied with love and kindness just focused on the self absolution reeks of weakness temporary culture makeshift bad will go the time for them a death taking pace I've watched my generation piss themselves again hide from snakes with arms and legs I'd rather just blend Mr. Grives is digging ditches cemetery for the living shallow minded patrons suit this million man march in this rotting gut degeneration there is only the ebb the foundation collapses we continue to hurt knee deep in a river but we're dying of thirst the foundation collapses we continue to search knee deep in a river but we're dying of thirst unsatisfied with love and kindness just focused on self absolution reeks of weakness temporary culture makeshift bad will go the time for them a death taking pace I've watched my generation piss themselves

Every day i'm suffering from terminal addiction flood bank memory, turning me away frome me suck it down and cut it up Humanness and self-distress Every day addicted downward circling, burning at both ends, addicted Reality is futile, it poisons my existence pseudo images, policy, management I need alcohol, cocaine and demerol caffeine, nicotine, vicodin, heroine addicted

searching for answers but now seeing shit cutting through my burdens over and over again put these beautiful people six feet underground i waslk their roads spill blood though their streets i hate every one and every fucking thing this is my war

What a nightmare leaving home what a nightmare coming home pity humans the pathos pity victims the pathos What a horror seeing rows what a horror knowing their yours pity mission the pathos pity living the pathos What a notion of disgusting use people killing each other for no use

Among the wolves live tired sheep A match to fire in a thousand trees Try to survive without sacrifice Carry your emotions in the shape of a knife I have never felt so ashamed Behind closed doors is where i stay All the Pain i feel inside Willing to set myself on fire Shake the earth head through floor

You find things about yourself that you will soon forget. Counting old friends left behind a jaded mind to go with it, hated flowing through your veins but jealousy is all you feel. Mistaken from the start always wrong it never ends. You can never be in love until you learn to be alone, you will never miss those heavy eyes until you're left with none. You can never achieve true happiness until you hang your head.

that sad waking crawl putting wrinkles to your limbs moment eating moment present enveloping dealing with the changes let the crippling begin laughing with the aging fleeting from existence perennial fall turns the light out in me phantom pains all up my body atone to the slow ache inching closer to fate against the tide with my back to the sea passing is the nature of time beating itself out of my chest

fighting against generations of wrongs we have an anger problem spreading violently it started with a kiss from the mouth of a gun now we're cutting at our wrists spilling all that we loathe empty bottles with awful feeling keep my bad memories as my closest friends

stuck in the overhead there is no exit wondering around I am only living lost and found uncomfortable in my skin this is how it's always been I can't seem to make things right I can't seem to ease my mind more nothing than negative space never in solace only ill at ease I've disappeared

why are we feeding from the guts of reason? pulling the universe over our eyes I won't find answers finding myself can't find myself when there's nothing to find

Wretched feeling and feeling split gone into and around the back I don't have any feelings, only some of servitude cringing, crying, awake don't look at me or anything Volatile, simple minded, only sinking and deprived You know you're a mistake all of you feeling nothing but to take braking fingers, needing splints all of you, i don't like you, i don't need don't touch me you're sickening

opened my eyes my temples in strain pictures of strangers I've wanted to meet they aren't as real as the bones that I sleep in missing people that never went missing when I am real I look forward to living maybe some day I'll be a good person

Strict regards to all the walking dead soon you will be struck down. Your miserable appeal destroys the masses - wearing pretty faces filled with empty thoughts. I point my finger place the blame, I kill them off and cross them out.

Fall to your knees, line your head in thorns. Gather the pure souls, turn the water into wine, build a roof of stones with holy hands, spit your venom. Fall to your knees to pray for the weak.

Excuse me Mr
Excuse me Ms
I got a problem
I got a lot of em
Are you right here with me
Are you listening
Do you feel similar
Feel anything
There's no relief for me
I'm just a person
I bow and bend
Afraid of everything
Just a citizen
I can't breathe out
I can't breathe in
I can't explain the state I'm in
It's getting harder
It's getting hard

hair of the dog and splitting unrest spending spare change on being depressed suitable prison for the bothered kinds happiness you're a... ? breaking down underwordly shame bored and dead swallow the mundane cracks in my palms washed from my hands alone with many vices spine is crooked to my neck, and mind a spiral staircase the morning is a strangle always roses at the foot of my bed

Welcome to some kind of breed, 'does this make you happy?' they got you working the machines, Mr. Grieves is shadowing new generations for the hunt millions of new minds to gut technicism is scary and the singularity no more analog for us, 'does this make you happy?' The moving principle means going forward without the drag of the modern world They had me wired, they had me tapped I lived on a grid, centered the map use to live on a salary, fed my guts to the IRS dropped out for an alter wage, sold my soul to the DEA started living a private life, away from the magnetic traps now they have no part of me, i'm just an obsolete thing The modern world is surrounding me The modern world is slowly burning

we have gone much too far humans climbing up the walls again a future sour to the taste the tears i rue roll off my face strive for peace but nothing has changed humanity is a crashing plane screaming words of blasphemy another year of misery

Can you help me out of phantom bay? This place is a vacancy stuck in figure 8 'where nothing ever happens' no one's ever late Why? Tell me why? The dullness is filling me I have to get away get this complacency out of me I'm my own figurehead in my own state Why? Tell me why the doldrums are killing me Hold my breath watch my mind sift away as useless as a compass in a hedge maze without a direction without a base Why? Tell me why dullness is filling me Living in the doldrums walking in the doldrums floating in the doldrums wandering the doldrums all day

Wait i'm innocent I can't afford to go back to MCDF now they got chained up to a seat forty more days and i'll be out again Heading out to main county jail back to j-mod and i'm on no bail a little bird sang now i'm left to this one bed, one sink, one cell Please send me back to the farm i can't sit here anymore in solitude i got to work these idle hands before i sink in claustrophobia Wait this isn't fair I have a faulty attorney that doesn't care while i'm staring at the ceiling he's fast asleep have to write to the warden get an early release

A never ending battle I have with myself that I call fucking hell. I live to die the American dream. Lying through our teeth and everything between. Do you turn your back, pretend you don't see, or open your eyes to the misery. Fuck... So here's to fucked up youth. Here's to burning lies. Here's to each fucking day that just passed me by. Fuck.

pack your fists full of hate take a swing at the world these kids stick to themselves carry angst in their words where will never be apart of this cursed fucking town so we stand amongst ourselves watch it burn to the ground burn to the fucking ground

come to reality keep you feet on the ground all i know now is regret nine months of shit how do you fake a fucking smile just to bury it hold on to your memories for as long as you can it might be the last thing you ever feel in her we might hold onto our grudges teach ourselves to forget burn bridge sink ships till the bitter end

this promise you made is hollow is cold (I am the liar, civilian boy) leaving a trail of soft ridicule (I am the liar, civilian boy) I sleep with women I don't deserve wretched unstable vulnerable figments I become are unrelenting void in compassion premonitory: my satisfaction is selfish reward loving another is more difficult stealing and cheating and being a mess child in nature: so trapped

my heart beats in slow songs pumping moments through my veins waking up in empty beds walk through months of band mistakes give me back the life i had i really had nothing nothings better that a city full of lies that push through me in a burning building you're a loveless friend now i watch the clock now i walk on knives i got problems i'm a fucked up kid i find problems i'm alone again

How will we survive
They continue to ask
No one ever does
There's so much grief
In breaking for bread
Hysteria
All we've ever known
No birth without blood
No confusion without us
The book of nightmare carries the moan

Been sleeping in hotel rooms
Been finding vacancies
Tearing through the front door
Looking for a new place again
Hotel is home for no one to stay
The sheets pressed and folded
The room calm and black
Window is a blind shade

I don't kneel in worship I don't believe in a ghost I don't take kindly to judgment death follows me underground thunder and lightning protect me from god I won't be skullfucked by faith I am the upside down cross [x2]

Tell the doctor you have a bad life
You carry a knife carry a gun
Parents are white gaudy and slow
Fear is a house without windows
Call the police
Turn me in
When you go out you sit alone
Inside your head cemetery songs
I'm dying I'm dead
As love in the backseat
As heaven sent

soiled between purgatory good vs. bad vs. reality when will I ever be content with air I breathe right and wrong took too long I will make the same mistakes faulty conceptions scum for the feed collecting dust evil takes lead

The world's down with sentiment
Harp strings that I've never heard
Family talk they talk a lot
Talking into telephones
I used to have a broken head
Broken words from broken thoughts
Too much blame on sorry self
I caught the world flu

the body has got to be worth saving
eyelids are shining with headache and perspiration
morning is finding good intentions under sleep's
persuasion
the body has got to be...
our past lives were too heavy and too expensive
now we're paying together for our inventions
maybe there's a ceremony
written down inside the body
where maybe no one ever sees
you begin like a lion and you end like a lamb
molars are grinding inspiration down to nothing
where are the instructions
on how to keep it going?
the body...
a patient motor in secret is whirring
binding together what was broken
with the heart's string
to have without keeping
to sigh without boredom
to know without thinking
and to love without ever knowing
maybe there's a ceremony
written down inside the body

This is why events unnerve me,
They find it all, a different story,
Notice whom for wheels are turning,
Turn again and turn towards this time,
All she ask's the strength to hold me,
Then again the same old story,
Word will travel, oh so quickly,
Travel first and lean towards this time.
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Watching her, these things she said,
The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time.
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
Letting me know, forever.

I hear your voice
The fields of blood battle,
The screams of glory... Victory!
Come, don't you know
Say, don't you know
You're in my eyes
Tears of blood! (Father! Warlord!)
Light! Father!

It's a ceremony
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a ceremony
Oil and blood ceremony
Hold an eagle feather to my heart, yeah
On my heart
A time for magic driftin' in
Pushin' molten fire music in
Yeah, fire music in, oh
We are gathered here now in a sacred place
Yeah, yeah

Ritual music flowing strong and free
Flowing strong and free
A celebration that we need
To cleanse a world that is bleeding deep
Ooh, don't let her bleed, no
Oh, we are gathered here in a sacred place, yeah yeah
