Ceremony of Deconsecration

from Our Lady of Perpetual Hammer by Libby Hortop

/

about

The Lord of the Dance appeared before The People, and spoke: “Rise up! It is time to let go, and move forward! Start small, feel the beat. Do not simply flail around; there is an art to it. Onwards!”

lyrics

The ceremony's almost complete,
Banishing Our Lady of Perpetual Hammer,
I call upon the Lord of the Dance,
We gotta learn to move forward,
Move onwards, onwards!

This place no longer means to me
What it once meant, what it once meant,
Deconsecration takes time and patience,
Or we go up in flames, or we go up in flames

We are bound to this idea,
It's time to cut ties,
Make some new connections,
I am the queen of desire,
Desire, desire!

This place no longer means to me
What it once meant, what it once meant,
Deconsecration takes time and patience,
Or we go up in flames, or we go up in flames

If absence makes the heart grow fond,
What happens when it's abandoned?
If we just leave it alone,
We'll never have to hear its cry,
Its cry, its cry!

This place no longer means to me
What it once meant, what it once meant,
Deconsecration takes time and patience,
Or we go up in flames, or we go up in flames,
Or we go up in flames, or we go up in flames

When she teamed up with seasoned guitarist and singer Cal Tranner, Libby & Cal was born. Their jangly strings and smooth vocal harmonies combine to create a unique but accessible sound. They have performed at Kaffé 1820, Roxham Woolgathering, Art House, and Pressed. ... more
