Since it's Sunday I feel rather spiritual. So that's what today's song is.
I've heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, Do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor Fall, The major lift, The baffled king composing, hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the halleujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch love is not a victory march it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know What's real and going on below but now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you the holy ghost was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
I was at brunch the other day and this song came on their music system. I'd forgotten how much I liked it. I was bopping along to it.
So here it is for you to enjoy.
Copper sun sinking low Scatterlings and fugitives Hooded eyes and weary brows Seek refuge in the night
They are the scatterlings of Africa Each uprooted one On the road to Phelamanga Where the world began I love the scatterlings of Africa Each and every one In their hearts a burning hunger Beneath the copper sun
Ancient bones from Olduvai Echoes of the very first cry "Who made me here and why Beneath the copper sun?" African idea African idea Make the future clear Make the future clear
They are the scatterlings of Africa Each uprooted one On the road to Phelamanga Where the world began I love the scatterlings of Africa Each and every one In their hearts a burning hunger Beneath the copper sun
And we are the scatterlings of Africa Both you and I We are on the road to Phelamanga Beneath a copper sky And we are the scatterlings of Africa On a journey to the stars Far below, we leave forever Dreams of what we were

And as long as I'm here, let's not forget the next book book I wrote with Celina Summers. Less than three weeks, people! Don't forget to buy a copy. *grin*
It's a cold, windy and miserable day here. So I think a little beauty is in order.
And as long as I'm here, I'll mention that it's only three weeks until Breaking The Covenants is released. Here's the cover once again, just because I like it.
You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no soul to sell Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself
I want to fuck you like an animal I want to feel you from the inside I want to fuck you like an animal My whole existence is flawed You get me closer to god
You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything Help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex I can smell Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else
I want to fuck you like an animal I want to feel you from the inside I want to fuck you like an animal My whole existence is flawed You get me closer to god
Through every forest, above the trees Within my stomach, scraped off my knees I drink the honey inside your hive You are the reason I stay alive
An old, obscure piece of rock that catches my mood about a certain event in my life perfectly.
You're restless baby - the good is gone from your eyes I've seen that look before but it's different this time I wonder how long you've been living in this lie
I can't hold on girl And I can't give up, no, no I just can't turn and walk away
The night won't make it right, baby, not this time I know there's nothing left that's gonna change your mind We played the hard way as long as we could But this time baby's gone for good
You're running scared, girl You've lost what you once believed Do you lie awake at night do you think about me? Have you found somebody who can give you what you need?
But I can't stay here It hurts so badly But I can't just turn and walk away
The night won't make it right, baby, not this time I know there's nothing left that's gonna change your mind We played the hard way as long as we could But this time baby's gone for good
Baby worries, baby bleeds Baby must have what she sees Was it so hard, couldn't you see me?
The night won't make it right baby not this time I know there's nothing left that's gonna change your mind We played the hard way but it took a little bit too long But this time baby knows she's gone This time baby knows she's gone This time baby knows she's gone So long
