The Gift

from Out of Clay by Jared Saltiel

/

lyrics

Earth and water, into clay
A vessel forged in fire
She will be reborn to awaken your desire

Gifts of beauty, charm and grace
The music of the lyre
She will be adorned in Heaven’s attire

The woman descends from the mountain
To punish men

Yet the greatest gift of all
You must always deny her
In this earthen jar, life will never tire
But you must not open it

In this jar, here reside
All the treasures of your mind
Do you not wonder what you might find?

Reaching blindly in the dark
Longing for the other
Life will spring anew from the blood of the mother
But you must not give it up

The woman descends from the garden
Bearing sin

In this jar, here reside
All the pleasures of your mind
Do you not wonder what you might find?
What have you to hide?

In the jar, does love remain?
We can only hope
