VOCAL INTRO -MIDDLE EASTERN VOCALS

Born for destruction
ripped from her fathers eye
a demon unleashed from tears of hate
sent forth into the land of men

She doesn't care about your comfort
evil doesn't hear your screams

The Nile ran red
as fear rose across the land
all will fear the lioness' wrath
desert winds were said to be her breathe

Her maker became disturbed
as she reveled in her thirst
tricked into drinking what appeared to be blood
now in deep sleep under
now in slumber
destroy the one, lady of war

what she wants, she'll take
the lady of war

CHORUS
blood of my blood
seed of my seed
thy golden shield

As soon as she started singing, she spotted me and smiled and winked so I knew she knew I was there. It was awesome. I don't generally like the heavy stuff, but the variety of tempo and strong lyrics just pulled me in. It wasn't "alternative Rock" like the rest of the bands there that night so I think some people didnt know what to do with their music. I totally go into it and honestly forgot I was in a room full of people except for the occasional rush of energy that slammed into my back. The 4th song was Lady of War which she wrote about Sekhmet and I was blown away. She had sent me the lyrics so I knew what they words were, but I didnt know the music, although I admit singing it in my head when I read them. The music was very much like what I had imagined but obviously better. I found myself singing with her through the chorus. It's one version of the story of Sekhmet and I will post them here when she gives me permission.
They played a few more songs and were done for the night as there were 6 other bands including Fuel to go on that night. We left, as that is all we were there for, and went to the area where they were selling t-shirts and such. Aziza walked out so I was able to see her before we left. She said she noticed I was singing Lady of War with her and thought that was cool. There was a group around her, all trying to get her attention so we only talked for a minute or two and she thanked us for coming and invited me out to lunch next week to meet her boyfriend. She is going to try and come to our local pagan group gatherings in December so she can meet everyone else.
My parents watched the kids so they had a blast, too. It was a great night and the only bad part was knowing that someone very dear to me isn't feeling well. I found myself thinking of her throughout the night and wishing she were there with us and feeling better. She would have loved it.

Down on your knees,
And thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's Fire Spirit.
Which work of Shakespeare was the original quote from?
| You Can Hang With the Guys and the Girls |
 You've struck a good balance between girlie and laid back. You can keep it casual but when you dress up, you are as girly as the next girl. |
| You Are 92% Open Minded |
 You are so open minded that your brain may have fallen out! Well, not really. But you may be confused on where you stand. You don't have a judgemental bone in your body, and you're very accepting. You enjoy the best of every life philosophy, even if you sometimes contradict yourself. |
I am working on a new signature line for my message boards and came up with this so far. I need to add a caption which might be something like "Lori and her babies." I need to find a way to work the tigers in more, but I don't have many good pictures of me with them as they werent my primary responsibility. I am still working on contacting my friend with tigers to have some big cat time soon. Overall feeling better and letting this go a little more.
Interesting that I feel like running out in the middle of it, so it must not be too dangerous. *shrug* We shall soon see.
Let the games begin.
"Breathe (2 AM)"
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.
Here is a video of her singing it acoustic and it's just beautiful.

My favorite part is "There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around."
I needed to hear this.
Emi Emi Em Em Em's inner child peeking out. (that's what my children call her)
Strolling through the park
You are Strength
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
