Sacred To The Pain

Lyrics for Sacred To The Pain

Mama, Mama holding my hand in the storm Audience participation heavy in my dreams The church choir is singing my favorite inspiration God is alive! God is real! He is right here! In my hands! He is on gigs and fucking in the mid-western clubs Roll with us, baby! Roll with us! Shower us with that funk! That country funk! Backward swamp! And bayou funk! Way back Into the bottom of slave ships And deep dark funky screams! That caress our souls And make us pat our feet To the rhythm To the blues To the jazz And to the music in your heart Makes us want to dance And so I play! I play! I play walking through their smiles Pain up tempo Sensitivity open to the fore winds I want you to feel this thing I feel, when finger touches dreams This strange thing That kisses my lips Whispers in my ears Embraces all that I am This thing called love Love; with no one to receive it Love; with no one to understand it Love; with no one to care for it Musical discontent in a trance Eyes rolling back into my head Need something No, not that! My head needs something No, not that! Temporary pleasure Temporary pleasure becomes permanent emotions that separate, leaving me In so many many places Musical genius Human Demon So fragile So vulnerable So very real to myself Oh, of God is your appreciation! Please listen! It is so lonely! So very lonely down here! And all of this sound All of this passion forcing itself upon my reason This is for you, Mama! This is for you! For all of the worry For all the tears wasted on worthless days For all the times that I've climbed into my fears without praying For all the bitterness and rage you've turned into magic and beauty And now, I lay me down to sleep I pray my soul the music will keep Up to the bridge I hear the chord Taking home to meet my lord I leave you my soul I leave you my heart One more solo Before, I depart Mama, Mama holding my hand in the storm Audience participation So heavy in my dreams The church choir is singing my favorite inspiration God is real! God is alive! He is right here! In my hands! Listen
