Magdalene Lyrics

"Magdalene" lyrics from MTV Unplugged sung by susheela raman

Magdalene Lyrics

Summoned to the underworld,
Nimble steps take her down.
Game face in place,
Her soul slips underground.
Boys and arrows seek corridors of flesh.
Doors hide departures into nothingness.

Magdalene
Your name came like a mantra,
While the rain
Whispered questions to your answer.

Ash skin awakens,
Pearls circle her centre.
One ring of memory
Only she and i may enter.
Each day a fresh disguise
And a borrowed name name name…….
The smile in the mirror
Lingers there unclaimed.

Magdalene
I took my chances,
Took your name in vain while strangers
Bought your soul for small change
Little above mountains site
Flies glow i can’t fall
There is a road past below
I read the valley flower
Oh black magmacrust
Run by to your molten core

Magdalene
I am searching searching
For your face in vain
When strangers bought your soul
For a small change.
