About “Holy”
Mood - exotic, trance-like, rhythmic. sensual
“I wrote “Holy” after visiting an ancient church in Venice where the bones of the Doges had been kept in an underground tomb. The air smelled like old bones. On the walls were many great art masterpieces. We put a little money in a dish so that lights could be turned on near the paintings. It was a rich, almost mystical atmosphere. ” Barbara Lewis
“Holy” (4:04)
The air is dark and cool,
candles are a'glo
Angels cast their eyes below
Soft voices fill the air with chants
from long ago
The words are smooth and deep
They say that we should weep and pray
Holy, in the time that passed away
Holy, are the wonders still the same?
This mystery. Is it Holy?
And on the ancient walls
Faces of the saints
Halo'd in a sacred fire
They gaze upon the one
whose light is from above
His eyes are wise and deep
they say that we should weep and pray
Holy, in the time that passed away
Holy, are the wonders still the same?
This mystery. Is it Holy?
