Shake off Your Flesh by The Huntress and the Holder of Hands Lyrics
Be still my mind
The voices sing
Do not desire
For anything
Shake off your flesh
See without eyes
Into the great
River inside
Flora in field
And fowl in sky
The evil one
Right by my side
All turn to dust
And dust to fly
With equal weight
Through space and time
Beneath my breasts
There burns a fire
Of blood and flesh
Of sound and wire
It won't be quenched
'Till I retire
From wretchedness
That dark desire
But the sky is falling down
With death and fire and rage
Lord, let this fear subside
That I might hear your name
That the skin won't burn
And the world won't drive
Me from all I hold
Floating safe inside
Be still my mind
The voices sing
Do not desire for anything
Be still my mind
The voices sing
Do not desire for anything
The voices sing
Do not desire
For anything
Shake off your flesh
See without eyes
Into the great
River inside
Flora in field
And fowl in sky
The evil one
Right by my side
All turn to dust
And dust to fly
With equal weight
Through space and time
Beneath my breasts
There burns a fire
Of blood and flesh
Of sound and wire
It won't be quenched
'Till I retire
From wretchedness
That dark desire
But the sky is falling down
With death and fire and rage
Lord, let this fear subside
That I might hear your name
That the skin won't burn
And the world won't drive
Me from all I hold
Floating safe inside
Be still my mind
The voices sing
Do not desire for anything
Be still my mind
The voices sing
Do not desire for anything
