"Saint Cecilia holds a candle out for me..." That's a good prayer for a singer. Cecilia is the patron of musicians. It hits me too, because my first school when I was young was Saint Cecilia's Elementary. To me this line is about keeping the sureness and steadfast dreams of those younger and simpler days, at St. Cecilia's, as an anchor as I grow. Love the Barrs. These guys make me proud to be Canadian and happy I listen to this kind of music.
I'm just now slowing down after a couple of years movin way too fast, and i just happened upon this album. Thank you Barr Brothers for keeping it real...
---Lyrics--- In the violence of the morning I'm as wrong as I am free And Saint Cecilia Holds a candle out for me Its an obligated offer But I'll accept it just the same It's better than trying Not to feel anyone else's pain I'm not talking about beauty Don't feel like speaking anymore Cause when it finds me I'm ready for war I'm ready for war I'm ready for war Now they're burning down the temples Of some long forgotten grace And Shiva sits With that look upon her face If you think you're done pretending That you don't feel it anymore And win or lose Say I'm ready for war I'm ready for war The heart screams Is this what you wanted? Blood on your hands To feel something of your own Everybody does It was raining in Savannah And you kept your apron on While we danced slowly To that Van Morrison song Well you brought me to the vanguard Let me see behind the door And in my fury I said I'm ready for war I'm ready for war I'm ready for war

I love this song. Reminds me of Floyd’s Great Gig in the Sky the way the female vocal comes in. Superb and a great album. Thank you Barr Bros.

---Lyrics---
In the violence of the morning
I'm as wrong as I am free
And Saint Cecilia
Holds a candle out for me
Its an obligated offer
But I'll accept it just the same
It's better than trying
Not to feel anyone else's pain
I'm not talking about beauty
Don't feel like speaking anymore
Cause when it finds me
I'm ready for war
I'm ready for war
I'm ready for war
Now they're burning down the temples
Of some long forgotten grace
And Shiva sits
With that look upon her face
If you think you're done pretending
That you don't feel it anymore
And win or lose
Say I'm ready for war
I'm ready for war
The heart screams
Is this what you wanted?
Blood on your hands
To feel something of your own
Everybody does
It was raining in Savannah
And you kept your apron on
While we danced slowly
To that Van Morrison song
Well you brought me to the vanguard
Let me see behind the door
And in my fury
I said I'm ready for war
I'm ready for war
I'm ready for war
Incroyable!?!?!
