Liner Notes:

Double Crucio! Bwahaha. Now I just need to crucio someone else's music for this... and it'll be perfect!

Girls in Uniform: Magic Road

"Come with me, and we'll take the magic road
Where the grass is green and the dandelions grow"

Vikki Flawith: Lady of the Lake

"Feel the lifeblood of the land"

Lyrics:

I wandered on the green and met a lady fair
She stared at me in wonder
How is it that you see me now

I replied there is a strange glow about you
Her horse roared at me as I put out my hand
How is it that you see me

Oh we'll take the magic road, she said
Where the grass is green and the dandelions grow
Feel the lifeblood of the land
The colour of crushed berries
Rush through your soul like water and like snow

The sting and the freedom
The power and the price
Just remember these words of sage advice
Hold on to that which you love, but hold on freely

I wandered in the woods and met a fairy Queen
I stared at that strange sight
How is it that I see you now

She replied there is a berry that glows in the dark
Her courtiers laughed at me as I wondered aloud
How is it that you see me

Oh we'll take the magic road, she said
Where the grass is green and the dandelions grow
Feel the lifeblood of the land
The colour of crushed berries
Rush through your soul like water and like snow

The sting and the freedom
The power and the price
Just remember these words of sage advice
Hold on to that which you love, but hold on freely

The Long, Sad Saga of Not Playing KOTOR (2009)

The Long, Sad Saga of Not Playing KOTOR

Tagged As:

Liner Notes:

A couple of days before FAWM 2009, I got a really bad cold, and wanted to do nothing but curl up with blankets and soup and KOTOR. Really, really craving a good game of Pazaak, some ship-to-ship fights... Star Wars sound effects... blaster and lightsaber battles...

Lyrics:

Going to play KOTOR and going to play with blasters, oooh
Going to play KOTOR and going to play with lightsabers too
Gee this is really crashing and giving weird errors
What the hell is going on?

I found the discs and couldn't find the serial
Couldn't find the serial
Couldn't find the serial
For the life of me

I finally realized that KOTOR doesn't have one
KOTOR doesn't have one
KOTOR doesn't have one
Gosh I feel silly

Going to play KOTOR and going to play with blasters, oooh
Going to play KOTOR and going to play with lightsabers too
Gee this is really crashing and the videos are half untextured
What the hell is going on?

I thought it was my DVD drive going all to hell
But then I found the error of my ways
KOTOR was coded in the golden olden days
Long before dual cpu - and we've got quadcores now!

My ancient dinosoar, still won't play my KOTOR
Because my computer's got two cores

So to avoid all the hassle, I uninstalled
And went to install on the laptop
Which is even older and has only one processor

Going to play KOTOR and going to play with blasters, oooh
Going to play KOTOR and going to play with lightsabers too -
But the second install disc is corrupt!
SINCE I INSTALLED IT LAST NIGHT!

WTF WTF WTF!
WTF WTF WTF!

I already uninstalled it from the desktop
So I couldn't just copy the files over and edit the registry
And my friend who also owns it was babysitting and couldn't bring it over
So now, to play my game
I've got to PIRATE A GAME I ALREADY BOUGHT!
I'm going to PIRATE A GAME I ALREADY BOUGHT!

Going to play KOTOR and going to play with blasters, oooh
Going to play KOTOR and going to play with lightsabers too
Going to play KOTOR and going to play with blasters, oooh
Going to play KOTOR WOOOHOOOO!

A Garden Among The Flames (2009)

FAWM 2009, retrieved by the Wayback Machine. Wish I'd put all of them public. Argh.

A Garden Among The Flames

Liner Notes:

"Wonder,
A garden among the flames!"
- Ibn Arabi

Lyrics:

Parched and dry I wander low and high
Ceaselessly restless even rested
The sun burns and the night freezes
The sun burns and the night freezes

But even here in this infernous place
Your calm, beloved, is felt in my heart
I wonder to see
A garden among these flames

Divided in thirds and filled with singing birds
Fountains flow mid mountains of flowers
The sun cools and the night eases
The sun cools and the night eases

With you in my heart I am free
In spite of the heat surrounding me
Flames leap like fountains
Embers burn like flowers
The rushing winds greet me in chorus

With my heart I kiss this woe and it is gone
Your calm, beloved, is felt in my heart
I wonder to see
A garden among the flames

I Forgive (2010)

Recovered from the Wayback Machine. Written during FAWM 2010 while I was supposed to be on hiatus.

I Forgive

I forgive but don't forget
The road ahead is thorny yet
and I know he's just not sane
Or he wouldn't have caused so much pain

Trying so hard to move on
Every day since I found out I'm strong
What you did to betray my trust
It's unforgivable but I'm a saint

Dying a little inside
Every day this pain don't subside
I'm still angry just to be clear
But ain't no use to carry hate

I forgive but don't forget
The road ahead is thorny yet
and I know he's just not sane
Or he wouldn't have caused so much pain

I was mistaken about him
I don't know who he is
I thought I did

I forgive but don't forget
The road ahead is thorny yet
and I know he's not sane
Or he wouldn't have caused so much pain

I forgive but don't forget
The road ahead is thorny yet
and I know he's just not sane
Or he wouldn't have caused so much pain

Liner Notes:

lapetitekiwi wrote a song called "I'm so angry" and then wrote a song called "I'm trying to forgive you" and here's my "I forgive" just because.

Devin, you're a songfather again. 
I do have some melodic ideas so call me first. 

Welcome

Welcome!

Hi, I'm Chagall Sierra, known in Toronto as "Voice of an Angel" for my ethereal, heartfelt soprano.

This is a collection of my public lyrics for various musical projects. Usually I write a lot during FAWM, however I started writing songs regularly starting in 1996. After they're written, I either forget about them or they make their way into fully produced songs for Kirrivath (Meditative World Fusion), Wingspell (Renaissance Gothic), or my solo Celtic Faery Classical Crossover music.

In 2015 I started a virtual label called Paperbag Empress Records to hold all my own music and to crosspromote bands in my favourite niche: fairytale and fantasy.

Lyrics

Good fortune to you
Who treats me with care
I bring peace and contentment
On my beauty poets stare

They call me the Empress of Flowers
When you dream of me
Make your plans, don't be shy
Don't let your destiny pass you by

Happy marriage to you
Who honours my place
To you riches and nobility
Fertility and grace

They call me the Empress of Flowers
When you dream of me
Make your plans, don't be shy
Don't let your destiny pass you by

May the romance of my fragrance
Carry your dreams into believing
When the peony grows in your garden
Success and luck grow into being

AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lyrics

So depressed
Down in despair
Is this an owl
Or an owlbear

I've pulled so many miracle moves
Out of my ass
Yet somehow I lose
YOU SHALL NOT PASS

Candy Crush is crushing me
Can't you see, it's driving me crazy-y-y-y-y-y-y-i
Candy Crush is crushing me
Candy Crush is crushing me

This level is nuts
This isn't candy
I need a new distraction
Game's way too demanding

I've pulled so many miracle moves
Out of my ass
Yet somehow I lose
YOU SHALL NOT PASS

Candy Crush is crushing me
Can't you see, it's driving me crazy-y-y-y-y-y-y-i
Candy Crush is crushing me
Candy Crush is crushing me

All I know is it's been over a month
And I can't progress
It's reminding me too much of real life
This doesn't make sense

Candy Crush is crushing me
Can't you see, it's driving me crazy-y-y-y-y-y-y-i
Candy Crush is crushing me
Candy Crush is crushing me

Every time I make a good move I lose
This owl is out to get me
Candy Crush is crushing me
Candy Crush is crushing me

I've pulled so many miracle moves
Out of my ass
Yet somehow I lose
YOU SHALL NOT PASS

Candy Crush is crushing me
Can't you see, it's driving me crazy-y-y-y-y-y-y-i
Candy Crush is crushing me
Candy Crush is crushing me

Candy Crush is crushing me
Can't you see, it's driving me crazy-y-y-y-y-y-y-i
Candy Crush is crushing me
Candy Crush is crushing me

Candy Crush is crushing me
Candy Crush is crushing me

It's half an hour past midnight and these "failed snippets" became the song. I'm posting it anyway.

Lyrics

The heart endures dreams of passionate kisses
Underneath the wisteria vine
Intoxicating fragrance fills the air
Just how thoughts of you fill my mind

The heart endures aeons of unrequited longings
Underneath the wisteria vine
Sweet the beauty and shade it gives
As I dream, wishing you were mine

My grandfather's grandfather planted this vine
And now it's passed to me I'll make it mine
And pass it to our heir in time
Lovers will kiss and sigh
Underneath the wisteria vine

But oh! I stepped from the painting
All for love of you
But you did not return my care
What's a painted lady to do

What just happened to me?

Lyrics

Fighting for net neutrality
It seems we've won the day
For kitten pics happy and forlorn
For music, for videos, and for porn

Grumpy Cat flew a victory flight
But that frown still held on tight
Because she knew evil companies
Would find another way to fight

When you mess with the internet
The internet messes with you
We will rise from the shadows into sight
And win the internet for consumers rights

Grumpy Cat flew a victory flight
But that frown still held on tight
Because she knew it's always a fight
We gotta keep the pressure on for the sake of

Llamas and dresses and positive post-its
Movies and puppies and amateur comics
Celebrities and nobodies and all of us too
Grumpy Cat flew today for me and you

Lyrics

Took a raw vegan challenge
And I quite adore this food
But I got heart palpitations
Which I deem to be quite rude!

I've got OODLES OF ZOODLES
It's just crazy, oh yeah baby
I've got OODLES OF ZOODLES
I never knew zucchini could be made so tasty

So it's back to beef and liver
Even though I must eat chicken
I've made a few new favorites
Recipes made of win

I've got OODLES OF ZOODLES
It's just crazy, oh yeah baby
I've got OODLES OF ZOODLES
I never knew zucchini could be made so tasty

At my house now there's mango pineapple smoothies
And "nice cream" is better than ice cream!
But the best new food of all
Is from a plant that grows wide and not tall

I've got OODLES OF ZOODLES
It's just crazy, oh yeah baby
I've got OODLES OF ZOODLES
I never knew zucchini could be made so tasty

Lyrics

As the dove flies in search of land
So my heart flies out in search of you
Will it return this time with an olive branch

Like the Blue Columbine
My love is given forever
In faithfulness divine
In faithfulness divine

As the dove coos softly in its nest
So my heart flutters at your name
Will it return and be my own heart again

Like the Blue Columbine
My love is given forever
In faithfulness divine
In faithfulness divine

Gentle as a dove
Yet I fear, not so wise as it could be
My love is given forever
Locked to one for eternity

Like the Blue Columbine
My love is given forever
In faithfulness divine
In faithfulness divine

*Sung with a British accent just because*

Lyrics

Chorus:
True love is like a red, red rose
A gift for Earth to know what Heaven knows
A love divine
A scent sublime
True love is like a red, red rose

When the bud springs from the branch
A delicate perfection
Your heart hopes and dreams new love will grow
In a forever direction

When the flower then unfurls
Soft as a baby's skin
Your lives begin to twine up together
Let the work of love begin

When the fruit is ripe for harvest
Winter storms come soon
You must weather the hard times
With memories of June

Weird structure. I kinda like it.

Lyrics

A sweet and spicy fragrance drifts across the terra cotta tiles
The children's faces are wreathed in new jam and smiles
The bees are drowsy, in the trees cicadas sing
There's a hope for every dream and a dream for everything

Pretty in white you say
Prettier still I know
Are the seeds of love
In the garden we grow

It's a simple
Incarnation
Love Unto Death
This time no
Complication
Love Unto Death
We'll be together
Forever
To the last breath
Just repeat this
Incantation
Love Unto Death

Pretty in pink you say
Prettier still I think
Is the look on your face
When I give you THAT wink

A sweet and spicy fragrance drifts across the terra cotta tiles
The children's faces are wreathed in new jam and smiles
The bees are drowsy, in the trees cicadas sing
There's a hope for every dream and a dream for everything

Blue Flag (Wild Iris) was the flower that sparked this. But of course, Mary loves her roses.

Lyrics

Blue was always your colour
Mother of a son
Blue for loyalty and wisdom
Befits a Holy One
Blessed Mary
Descend like a dove
Let me feel your presence
Grace poured down from above

Blessed Mary
May the scent of roses
Pierce my heart
Make me see
The sacrifice you gave
For me to be free

Blue was how you felt then
Mother of a son
Whose destiny was fulfilled in death
Gave life for everyone
Blessed Mary
How did it feel
To see your child upon the cross
So much gained from so much lost

Blessed Mary
May the scent of roses
Pierce my heart
Make me see
The sacrifice you gave
For me to be free

Let this flag fly forever
Clothed in colours of your beauty
Let truth and wisdom reign
In eternity we'll meet again

Three cheers for somewhat ironic song titles!

Lyrics

Today
Thought of you again
Words
Rushing through my mind
Like a freight train
Every car loaded with memories
And the words we didn't say

When
When will I find
Heart's ease
All
All that I know
Gone on a breeze

Tonight
Wishing not to dream
You
Conduct my nightmares
Every track screams betrayal
Certainty of derailment

When
When will I find
Heart's ease
All
All that I know
Gone on a breeze

[Instrumental]

Tomorrow again I will pretend
That everything is fine
Tomorrow again I will smile
Tell everyone everything's alright
But tonight
The devil's shadows will creep
To touch me as I sleep

Lyrics

At my home
Purple sea meets a purple horizon
Blue ripples meet a bright blue sky
Beloved of bees
Who am I

In your home

Delicate aroma in a delicate pillow

Blue flowers bring the sky inside

Beloved of dreams

There I die

In silent devotion, serenity and grace

Highest relaxation I bring apace

Note - Did not take the offered one night stand. For some reason people think that I must be "doing it" all the time. I'm not even dating. :P

Lyrics

Such a pretty
Foolishness
You tempt me
With your kiss
Gets harder
To resist

But I know it would be stupid to give in
I know you don't know what love really is
Such a pretty foolishness
Such a pretty foolishness

The desire
Flames are fanned
You're too young
Mister one night stand
Broken hearts
Across the sand

And I won't make the same mistake again
I know you won't give my silly heart rest
Such a pretty foolishness
Such a pretty foolishness

Geraniums grow on your mother's windowsill
Faded blue flowers, graceful still
Such a pretty foolishness
Such a pretty foolishness

Forgot to post this one earlier. Fever is getting better now, will need to get food.

Did I write something similar a few years back or is it just resonating that strongly? SIGH.

Lyrics

When you sink through countless tears
That doubt someone would love you
If you think through worldless fears
That none would even try

Just remember, remember then,
When everything around you is falling
The lure of sheer despair is calling
Sometimes it all falls together in the end

Yet somehow you hold your head up high
Even though you know you're broken
And someday you'll find a reason why
You've carried on hoping

Just remember, remember then,
When everything around you is sublime
You've been given the gift of time
Sometimes it all falls together in the end

Parental Advisory - Violence

He was just walking the dog. Death is cheap here.

Lyrics

Wires stretched out like nerves over the highway
Blind windows look out but don't want to see
This jungle is concrete and telephone poles
The black tags on the grey walls tell a story of struggle

There are worse things than jail
Dead men won't tell the tale

She sees him walk
Through the door
She sets a spot at the table
Even though
He's not here anymore
And nobody
Nobody
Can ever know her pain
Can ever know her pain

The old man says he had to clean up the body
It's not like on TV drawn in chalk
The young man who was just walking his dog
Became blood and brains on the sidewalk in a memory

There are worse things than jail
Dead men won't tell the tale

She sees him walk
Through the door
She sets a spot at the table
Even though
He's not here anymore
And nobody
Nobody
Can ever know her pain
Can ever know her pain

It's easier to buy a gun than get a job they say
So yesterday there was another meeting about another death
No breath, no breather in between
Choices are run drugs or run up your debts on welfare checks
Check this you can't move out
Just wallow in doubt, drowning out another heartbeat
And we meet again

Welcome to the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome to the jungle

Completely love almost every version of Sleeping Beauty I've ever read. In this version the "witch" is usurping the kingdom. Wish I had a Fairy Godmother!

I may cut the last chorus2 for length. Yeah. It's long.

Lyrics

Evil Usurper:

V1:
These walls have grown so thick and strong to keep everyone out
You'll never have true love because every Prince will doubt

There's even a
Princess
Hidden
Away within these thorns
You'll find there's
Nobody
Willing
To brave that wiry scorn

Chorus:
So sleep well
My "darling" Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll never come
You see my power grows in the seeds I have sown
I'll rule this kingdom while your hopes are overgrown

V2:
Every dream has it's own nightmare, every rose has it's sharp thorn
You got in my way and now you'll wish that you never were born

Sweet dreams little
Princess
Hidden
Away within these thorns
You'll find there's
Nobody
Willing
To brave that wiry scorn

Chorus:
So sleep well
My "darling" Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll never come
You see my power grows in the seeds I have sown
I'll rule this kingdom while your hopes are overgrown

Break:
No Prince will ever find you
So hidden away
No kiss will ever wake you
My strength will rule the day

Chorus:
So sleep well
My "darling" Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll never come
You see my power grows in the seeds I have sown
I'll rule this kingdom while your hopes are overgrown

[Musical Interlude]

Fairy:

V3:
Every cloud has a silver lining, every curse has its key
You might have fallen to cursèd slumber, but you still have me

Sweet dreams little
Princess
Hidden
Get your beauty rest
You'll find there's
Always
A way
True love will pass the test

Chorus2:
So sleep well
My darling Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll surely come
You'll see, your legend grows in the rumors I have sown
We'll restore the kingdom when the day of roses comes

Break:
Your Prince he will find you
Even hidden away
True love's kiss will wake you
The Dawn will greet the day

Chorus2:
So sleep well
My darling Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll surely come
You'll see, your legend grows in the rumors I have sown
We'll restore the kingdom when the day of roses comes

Second attempt at the Flowering Dogwood for @donna's tree challenge. Not quite sure of the structure, but as it's sacred music the repetitive sections could work well.

Lyrics

Sacrifice and passion
Hardworking and true
This is what he showed to me
What I return to you

Practical - yet beautiful
When I bloom at Easter
Blanketing the valleys
In the symbol of his love

Each of my flowers
Shows the sign of the cross
The nails in his hands and feet
The crown of thorns
Each of my flowers
Tells of the resurrection
Suffering, eternal redemption
Purpose to be borne

Joyful in hardship
Simplicity or strife
A miracle in every hue
Creator gave us life

Practical - yet beautiful
When I bloom at Easter
Blanketing the valleys
In the symbol of his love

Each of my flowers
Shows the sign of the cross
The nails in his hands and feet
The crown of thorns
Each of my flowers
Tells of the resurrection
Suffering, eternal redemption
Purpose to be borne

From my wood
You could make a dagger
Bring pain or protection
From my wood
You could carve a winepress
Bring joy to every party

Practical - yet beautiful
When I bloom at Easter
Blanketing the valleys
In the symbol of his love

Each of my flowers
Shows the sign of the cross
The nails in his hands and feet
The crown of thorns
Each of my flowers
Tells of the resurrection
Suffering, eternal redemption
Purpose to be borne

Practical - yet beautiful
When I bloom at Easter
Blanketing the valleys
In the symbol of his love

Forever Alone (11 - Lyrics - Feb 15)

tags: whiny rock with twang because i hate twang

Obviously about my ex-husband and the PTSD. He never hit me. It was worse.

Lyrics

Black hole seething in the darkness of his brain
Hatred of everything beautiful and true
And he cheated on me with a longtime friend
Shortly after we said I do

Can you please explain the joy of causing such pain
And how he hid it from me for so long
I kept trying again and again
But I guess he was wired wrong

Oh love is a word that seems to only be abused
Just used as an excuse
And I
Would rather not hear it said
Than have it reverberating in my headache

Don't wanna hear it anymore
(I love you)
Don't wanna hear it anymore
(Baby I can explain)
Don't wanna hear it anymore
(Just one more chance)
Would rather be forever
Forever alone

The divorce finally went through and people wonder why I'm not dating again
They just don't understand that I don't have time to waste in giving evil another chance
So they think there's something wrong with me that I can't get over betrayal and rape and death threats and I still bleed pain
The lies he told me ring in my mind every time some new guy tells me those three little words...
Instead I hear "I'll kill you"

Oh love is a thing that seems to only be abused
Just used as an excuse
And I
Would rather not let it start
Than have it reverberating in my heartache

Don't wanna hear it anymore
(I love you)
Don't wanna hear it anymore
(Baby I can explain)
Don't wanna hear it anymore
(Just one more chance)
Would rather be forever
Forever alone

Another one sparked by the film I'm in. :)

Lyrics

Oh my love
Sail away with me
Across bright seas of dreams
Weigh anchor and fly above

Oh my heart
Let me travel with you
Show you the shining sunrise
Where magic is born from the dark

Together
Let's break forever open
Drink from the fountain of eternal youth
Together
Let's dance with the fairies
Until we know their laughing, spinning truth

Touch the edge
Of infinite ecstasy
With our pledge
Break forever open

[Instrumental]

Oh my soul
Come let me show you
A land where the seas are made of stars
A land where we can be whole

Together
Let's break forever open
Drink from the fountain of eternal youth
Together
Let's dance with the fairies
Until we know their laughing, spinning truth

Touch the edge
Of infinite ecstasy
With our pledge
Break forever open

Touch the edge
Of infinite ecstasy
With our pledge
Break forever open

Truffles omg.

I think this needs a rap about awesome chocolate varieties just before the singing part of the bridge.

Yes I said fuck. DEAL WITH IT.

Lyrics

Don't get
In my way right now
I'll crush you like a bug
Believe me
When I say I can't
Be stopped even with a hug

I might just love you
But honey you know it's true

I'll kill you if you
Get between me and my chocolate
Sweetheart just don't try
Just don't get between me and my chocolate
I don't wanna see you die

Right now
You must understand
I'm hormonal as fuck
Believe me
If you don't feed me
You'll be clear outta luck

I might just love you
But honey you know it's true

I'll kill you if you
Get between me and my chocolate
Sweetheart just don't try
Just don't get between me and my chocolate
I don't wanna see you die

Dark, swirly, heaven melting on my tongue
Just eat one pound a month and I feel forever young

I might just love you
But honey you know it's true

I'll kill you if you
Get between me and my chocolate
Sweetheart just don't try
Just don't get between me and my chocolate
I don't wanna see you die
I don't wanna see you die
No, I don't wanna see you die

Will probably never sing this one.

Lyrics

Once upon a time
I had a fantasy
You were my Knight in shining armour
I was your Queen

Once upon a dream
You were there for me
It didn't have to be so grand as that
To be reality

Well you betrayed me and you became a King
While in poverty and sickness I've been lost wandering
Watching the world be poisoned
By the enemies of every living thing

Once upon a breath
There was clean air
We swam in crystalline fountains
Rode in forests fair

Once upon a hope
I thought you loved me
That together we could build a world
A place to live free

Well you betrayed me and you became a King
While in poverty and sickness I've been lost wandering
Watching the world be poisoned
By the enemies of every living thing

Once upon a wish
When I believed in magic

Do they get a happily ever after? You'll have to find out when the film comes out!

So, yeah, I just wrote a song based on something from an indie film production I'm acting in. :D

Lyrics

From the moment you saw her, she had your heart
I saw your wish rise up into the stars
To be her man
When on four feet
You came into my glen

I remember when you were just a pup
Now I see you holding the wedding cup

So rash, so bold, never doing what you're told
You've let the curse take hold
You've got to gain control
Don't let evil win
Remember the pure love within
Reach for that memory of who you truly are
A man whose love lights the stars

From the moment she saw you, you had her heart
A love that perfect rises to the stars
You were her man
She knew your love
She was so happy then

I remember the story of your True Love's Kiss
Now I see you throw away your days of bliss

So rash, so bold, never doing what you're told
You've let the curse take hold
You've got to gain control
Don't let evil win
Remember the pure love within
Reach for that memory of who you truly are
A man whose love lights the stars

The future I saw for you was brighter than this
Now I wonder will your children ever exist
Do you even recognize your own wife's scent
Will you be a man again when the moonlight is spent

So rash, so bold, never doing what you're told
You've let the curse take hold
You've got to gain control
Don't let evil win
Remember the pure love within
Reach for that memory of who you truly are
A man whose love lights the stars

Not sure of the bridge, it says what I want it to say but the rhythm doesn't scan well.

Lyrics

My friends called me Sleeping Beauty
As I dreamed my life away
Everything I ever wanted
Was sometime, someday

But someday has come
And there's no Prince to save me
I think he thinks his Princess
Is in another castle

It's time to come back to life
Time to rejoin the fight
Time to leap up into flight
The time for dreaming's over
There's so much still to live for
Time to come back
Time to come back
Back to life

Can I make myself a potion for eternal bliss
Give myself a True Love's Kiss
Heal all these curses
Make up all I missed

You see, someday has come
And there's no Prince to save me
I think it's crass to demand
A ransom for my Kingdom

It's time to come back to life
Time to rejoin the fight
Time to leap up into flight
The time for dreaming's over
There's so much still to live for
Time to come back
Time to come back
Back to life

Is there a cure for kryptonite
I'm so tired of eternal night
Locked away without a key
I guess fairytales don't always end happily
These briars are too thick
For any Prince to even see...
If I want an ever after at all
It's up to me

It's time to come back to life
Time to rejoin the fight
Time to leap up into flight
The time for dreaming's over
There's so much still to live for
Time to come back
Time to come back
Back to life

Deeply affected by this sermon today: http://youtu.be/havd_RVXOEM

Lyrics

If you were here would I know your voice
Would I feel your love
Would I make the choice
Take up my cross
Take up my cross
To walk with you

Some people say you never existed at all
The improbable story of divine birth was grafted onto a Judaic framework
Just another deception from the makers of elitism

The words you gave us were powerful and simple
I know you are more than just a parable
I know you lived
I know you rose

If you were here would I know your voice
Would I feel your love
Would I make the choice
Take up my cross
Take up my cross
To walk with you

Some people say you never rose from the dead
You had a twin brother who took your place
And faked the wounds to save your faith
Just another deception from the makers of elitism

Miracles you gave us were powerful and simple
I know you are more than just a parable
I know you lived
I know you rose

If you were here would I know your voice
Would I feel your love
Would I make the choice
Take up my cross
Take up my cross
To walk with you

Why is this so hard still
After everything I've been through
I've seen the evils of the normal way
Why is it so hard to choose
To suffer for my faith in you
To live by your word and your truth

If you were here would I know your voice
Would I feel your love
Would I make the choice
Take up my cross
Take up my cross
To walk with you

Cookies need no introduction.

Lyrics

Why does the dark side get everything cool
Red lightsabers, black leather and the signature mysterious cloak
Black forest cakes and cookies to make us all drool
Makes the light side look like a joke...

Well...

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
To make the dark side pay!

(Vengeance leads to the dark side, my young apprentice)

...Oh yeah

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
To make the people say

I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies
Nobody died to bring me these delicious delights
Almost makes up for the lack of romantic nights
I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies

Well, does the light side get anything cool?
Sure we've got lightsabers - any colour that's not red
(My apprentice, we're the good side, stop playing the fool
The dark side just makes people dead)

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
Force the dark side to obey

(Aggression leads to the dark side, my young apprentice)

...Oh yeah

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
For everyone to say

I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies
Nobody died to bring me these delicious delights
Almost makes up for the lack of romantic nights
I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies

(We're welcomed in all coordinates across the galaxies
And there's only once or twice been dark side wookiies
One other thing besides
The cookies are a lie
You think pure evil wouldn't do misleading advertising?!)
The dark side doesn't have cookies?
What do they feed their students - pie? I like pie...

(You don't like pie made from the other students, my young apprentice)

...Oh yeah

(Someday
You're gonna bake light side cookies
And everyone will say)

Aww

I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies
Nobody died to bring me these delicious delights
Almost makes up for the lack of romantic nights
I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies

Lyrics

My redeemer lifted me, gave me strength where I was weak
Formed the stars and the seas
Made the flowers and the bees

[Chorus]
My creator loves me even beyond death
Love gives me breath
What a love that made me
Such a love which saved me
Tenderly, mightily, eternally
My creator

My deliverer made my heart, gave me courage, gave me art
Freedom in a fresh start
From despair I now depart

My provider knows my soul, made me beautiful and whole
For every thing there is a role
From the mountain to the foal

Lyrics

We are made by Holy Hands
Out of dust from stars and strands of DNA
A miracle in the making
Every second of every day

We are born of love
Inheriting glory from above

This promise stands
This promise stands
Alleluia
This promise stands

Life itself is a promise
Out of time we weave meaning to flesh
A miracle from the Maker
For each unfolding moment afresh

We are born of love
Inheriting glory from above

This promise stands
This promise stands
Alleluia
This promise stands

This abiding love is woven throughout eternity
Repent of all sin
Let the Holy Spirit in
Let the Maker make us free

This promise stands
This promise stands
Alleluia
This promise stands

We are born to be free
We are born to be free

This promise stands
This promise stands
Alleluia
This promise stands

Heartmaker (01 - Lyrics - Feb 1)

About two years ago I was more than half dead. Prayed to God, and He restored me to life. Although I still have a way to go to be fully healthy and functional, it's getting better every day.

Lyrics

Walking in the beauty of the night
Waking to the song of morning's light
It is written in the rain and sun
It is written

The one who made this made us
The one who made this made us

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise

Touching another's heart
Shows the depth of the Maker's art
It is written in the trees and tides
It is written

The one who made this made us
The one who made this made us

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise

Let the rocks ring out
Let the birds and angels sing
Of the glory of the One
Who made everything

The one who made this made us
The one who made this made us

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise

Looking at the beauty all around
Creation shows a truth most profound
It is written in the wind and stars
It is written

The one who made this made us
The one who made this made us

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise
