BITTER SUN (Byrd final) by Sara Leibman published on 2013-02-01T15:50:32Z Bitter Sun - Lyrics by Sara Leibman, Music by Paul Garfinkel, Jason Byrd, and Jim Robeson A bitter sun biting bones Sends our voices heaven high Teeming field, we’re all alone Profane prayer and desperate lie. Shepherd’s staff and warrior’s sword Either one can herd or slash Preach about the unwashed hoard Campaign coffers full of cash. Chorus: Divine grace creates us. Blind faith sedates us. A sacred place awaits us. Divine grace escapes us. Pallid moon, sightless eyes Look for visions at each turn Hungry hunting, soundless cries Keep the faith that flames don’t burn. Poet’s harp and holy chant Swapped with horror while we sleep Monsters linger, demons pant The frightened and the wounded weep. Chorus: Divine grace creates us. Blind faith sedates us. A sacred place awaits us. Divine grace escapes us. Blood and bones make up our bed Fear and hatred constant twins Wasted words on sheets of red Cowardice is still a sin. King’s command and mother’s dread Respect, submit, do not ignore If you see me when I’m dead Just turn away and close the door.
