Splashdown - A Charming Spell

Album: Blueshift
Lyrics:
Angels and Ministers of Grace
Come defend who's been praying
I've found you wanting by your weight
Who did you think you'd be saving?
Then suddenly, you're acting out of the need to be taking someone down
Hands on the altar for a charming spell
(Be sincere with persuasion)
Go ask your Goddess if you've served her well
(She'll be climbing higher now)
More sinned against than sinning, please
You're not above my suspicions
You're lamb and serpent just like me
It's more than just superstition
Then suddenly, I'm finding out that it's me you'll be taking down with you
Hands on the altar for a charming spell
(Be sincere with persuasion)
Go ask your Goddess if you've served her well
(She'll be climbing higher now)
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
Raise a hand-held mirror to the light of the moon
With a secret garden and a heart unhardened, strike a specter's bargain with a ritual brew
Book and candle is natural to those pure and simple
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
Don't try your magic spells on me
I know you've been crystal gazing
You say your boots are seven league
Where 'er you go, I'll be waiting!
Hands on the altar for a charming spell
(Be sincere with persuasion)
Go ask your Goddess if you've served her well
(She'll be climbing higher now)
Hands on the altar for a charming spell
(Be sincere with persuasion)
Go ask your Goddess if you've served her well
(She'll be climbing higher now)
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
Raise a hand-held mirror to the light of the moon
With a secret garden and a heart unhardened, strike a specter's bargain with a ritual brew
Book and candle is natural to those pure and simple
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon

I'm so excited to listen through all the tracks from this album. I was always looking forward to the release of Blushift and so bummed when they didn't release it! Enjoying a nice afternoon of listening nostalgia! Thanks for posting!

I heard this was originally supposed to be the theme song for Charmed

[@larshanselmann6514]

I think, that would be also nice 👍

@@christofyre20 years I ordered a bunch of the older material and they sent me a copy of Blueshift. I treasure that thing.....

Not sure if you knew this. But the real guy who produced this stuff has his Bandcamp and his membership thingy has Blueshift.
