Martyrs of Sound: Lyrics for New Album

New Soul
I been looking for some law of attraction
I been waiting for some deep fascination
I been hoping for some full integration
I been waiting on you

I been thinking of days that get better
I been hoping for money that stays green
I been thinking of man who can kiss good
I been waiting on you

Shine on by—don’t you know I’m a new soul?
Slide on by—don’t you know I get lonely?
Shine on by—don’t you know that I’m new here?
Take it slow —don’t you know I’m your only one?

How come it takes you so long to get here?
I been searching for over a light year
It’s not the heat, it’s the humility
Of me waiting for you

Baby please I can’t make it much longer
The days are short, the nights they are stronger
It’s not the grind, it’s the anticipation
Of me waiting for you



Be My Rumi
I knew you when I met you
Quite different from the start
Speak God and sex with one voice
No difference in the three.
My door it is wide open
Ancient path to bliss
Take love and faith with one breath
No difference in a kiss

I want you to be my Rumi
I want you to see right thru me
Won’t you take it all and bring it to me?
I want you to be my Rumi

There’s no shame in pretending
That I’m the one you need
Hold all your lies in one hand
Cut me and I bleed

Be my Beloved
Mmm, mmm, mmm

I want you to, I want you to…



Saint Joan
Oh Saint Joan of Arc we hear your voice and
Oh Saint Joan of Arc we hear your call
Oh Saint Joan of Arc we hear your words
Oh Saint Joan of Arc the drums will roll

These are the voices calling
Gentle Joan of Arc and
These are the voices crying
Leaf beneath stone
Echo of chime on the wind
We see the fires burning now
Sweet Joan

Do not think these voices carry for all these years,
Unheard, unheard, unknown,
Do not think these voices vanish in the mist,
Unheard, unheard Saint. Joan.

We are the voices calling, oh Saint Joan
We ask you to lead us, oh Saint Joan
The fires they are burning, oh sweet Joan

The fires they are calling you, sweet Joan
The fires they are burning, oh sweet Joan
Please won’t you lead us now? Oh Saint Joan
We still are calling you, oh Saint Joan
This voice remains
Your voice remains



Dear Prudence
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

The Girl was Dancing
The Girl was Dancing, dancing by herself
The Girl was Dancing, twirling right off the shelf
The Girl was Dancing, dancing by herself
The Girl was Dancing, spinning right off the shelf

Oh, let yourself go
She seeks what is already there



Baby It’s You
Dip your hand behind the moon
And let me see your face
Sink your hand behind the sky
I wanna know your grace

For, I have seen a thousand moons and
I have searched the skies
And what I know and what I seek is
Right here in your eyes

Baby, it’s you, we’re here at last
Night surrounds us, Mist falls around us
Let the darkness be embraced
Let the darkness be embraced

Trail your fingers through the sun
Gold sinks in deep
Trail your fingers through my hair and
Press it to your check

Somewhere the sun is shining
On the other side of the world
Here we are in this time, baby
I wanna be your girl



Mary Twilight
Mary Twilight softly sighing
All these hours from dusk till dawn
Mary Twilight be your lover
Hold her close the whole night long
Mary Twilight soft as shadow
Oh my darling, won’t you stay?

Lay right down, I will be beside you
Close your eyes, I will be right here

In the shadows by the bedstand
Hold her close, you wish she’d stay
But all is darkness, all is endless,
All is soft and shattered night.
Mary Twilight, call her baby,
Hold her close for one last night

Mary Twilight, Never knew her,
Child of dusk and child of flight
Mary Twilight, dusky lover,
Want to hold her all the night
Mary Twilight, softly sighing
Set her free she’s yours to stay



Fragile
Pick my heart up off the floor
I’m as fragile as a bird
How will I know if this is love?
How will I know?
Tell me something I haven’t heard

Sweep my heart up off the floor
Nothing’s easy any more
Won’t you catch me as I fall?
Won’t you catch me?
Will you love me like before?

Oh baby…
Same old song again
Coming ‘round again

Keep my heart here on the floor
I am fragile as before
Can you tell me this is love?
Can you tell me?
Won’t be coming here no more



Angels
Angels are gathering round me,
Rocking around me, rolling around me
Angels are gathering round me,
Flipping around me, tripping around me
Angels are gathering round me,
Pressing around me, crowding around me
Angels are gathering round me,
Hobbling around me, cobbling around me

They lift their wings, pale as the moon
They wrap their wings, soft as the sky
And they say…
Hush, hush my child (and they say)

Coming to take you home, coming to take you…



I am
Tell me, what can I say
when I’m lying in bed
At the end of the day?
Tell me, what can I do
Each time I remember how I forget you?

I am a drop in the sea
Watching and wondering just who will I be
Floating ‘round infinite space
And I thank you for showing me
This endless place

I am

Tell me, what can I do
When I’m down on my knees
nd I’m praying to you?
I am infinite space
And I thank you for showing me
Your endless grace
I am…Wahe
