Pagan Blues by Todd Michaelsen
copyright 2007
I hear a sound out in space.
It echoes above me miles away.
Am I out of my mind?
No its real this time.
This music they play, from another place
It must be the Pagans of an Alien Race,
trying to find a new home in the sky
for their soundwaves.
And they sing with a feeling like I never knew.
Ripping off the ceiling with the Pagan Blues.
Now more than ever you need to wake up and reveal
whats true.
But only you only you can open your own eyes.
So you worship the sun and the seasons of rain.
They call you a "Heathen - enemy of the state".
The most dangerous kind - a lover entwined.
Your heart connects with your mind to your soul beneath.
Mother Nature is bleeding, she's down on her knees.
Screaming "Come to my side, don't let me die"
And she sings with a feeling that I never knew.
Ripping off the ceiling with the Pagan Blues.
Now more than ever you need to wake up and reveal
whats true.
But only you only you can open your own eyes.
I heard the song, so I sang along.
It gave me a place, a place to belong.
Fuck all this fear thats keeping us here.
Its time to move on, its time to move on,
and SING LIKE WE'VE NEVER SUNG BEFORE.
and then sing with the feeling
And then sing with a feeling that you never knew.
Ripping off the ceiling with the Pagan Blues.
Now more than ever you need to wake up and reveal
whats true.
But only you only you can open your own eyes.
