Saint Faith

about

This song is about the Christian martyr Saint Faith. It was written, recorded and produced entirely by myself.

lyrics

My virginal spirit was wed
To where the pious only tread
A lecherous furnace burning red
To whom my pure white loins were fed

But fire, turn my earthly skin into gold
Pyre, set me free from my mortal hold
Brighten my reliquary with gem stones
Liars, you’ll never take me from Christ’s home

I dance on the martyr’s holy stage
And scriptures upon the blessed page
My gilded body for to gaze
Where chorus of music always plays

But fire, turn my earthly skin into gold
Pyre, set me free from my mortal hold
Brighten my reliquary with gem stones
Liars, you’ll never take me from Christ’s home

Fire, turn my earthly skin into gold
Pyre, set me free from my mortal hold
Brighten my reliquary with gem stones
Liars, you’ll never take me from Christ’s home

Fire, turn my earthly skin into gold
Pyre, set me free from my mortal hold
Brighten my reliquary with gem stones
Liars, you’ll never take me from Christ’s home
