lyrics

Once I was a parasite searching for new lullabies
The same old oohs and aahs and la-di-das would spiral like a broken record every night
I’d cry out for a little more heart and soul
But the radio was out of poets
The maestros had died and left the deaf to thrive
And I was losing my mind

Digging deep I’d keep on killing sleep
To find a diamond in the rough
This rock had lost its roll and i had to know
If there was something out there worthy of the love
When all at once i heard your chorus roar
And boy I’ve hit the mother lode
Cos you changed the tune to make my heart explode

So come to me messiah of the music and save my soul

My lady of the melody
My sorceress of the noise
You saved me with your symphonies
Now i’m rejoicing in the glory of your voice
Every harmonious sound is a jewel within your crown
A masterpiece mesmerising me
Oh Mother of Pearl bring me your precious treasure
Rock my humble world
My Mother of Pearl

Play for me heavenly melodies
Sing to me a revelation
My heartstrings resonate with your every strum
My lady come and lay some thunder on my drum
For once I was just a parasite
But now I’ve got your lullabies
So praise be to the queen of the rhythm and the rhyme

So come to me messiah of the music and blow my mind
