St. Cecilia is a waltz of memories written for a sister who has passed into the ether.....

lyrics

St. Cecilia

Remember when we ruled the world, my darling
Free of fear and full of righteous wrath
We tried to put the world to rights, my darling
We burned down all the minefields in our path

I can see you in your prime, my darling
I hear all the songs we used to play
I can see your head thrown back
Pounding like a heart attack
Fierce and full of fury in the fray

You left as you came
Naked and in flames
Set free from every claim
Only your fame remains

I must swallow bitterness, my darling
Justice is a privilege with a cost
St. Cecilia shelter me
Lead me from this misery
Help me let go all that I have lost

I have seen endings that forced a new start
Angel of Mercy shoots straight through the heart
Bleeding the wound clean can drain a girl dry
Put up a good fight then vanish on high

See you on the other side, my darling
It’s nice to know you’re saving me a place
The downfall of a mastermind
Kindness made you drunk as wine
Although you’re gone, I still see your face

A naughty pleasure, but not a guilty one- ... more
