about

Julian celebrates the visions given to her on her death bed, May 8th 1373. These revelations changed her life.

lyrics

You are surprising revelation, a singing in the rain
A May the 8th arrival, the breaking of a chain
You are an overwhelming feeling, a sight of so much more
A longing loved inside me, this sudden open door

And my God, you were done to me, no invitation here
A many-coloured telling, every season of the year
My defences torn and crumbled, melting everything I’ve heard
Such mercy from above, making good this big absurd
Between abandonment and bliss – there’s just the kiss

You made your cross the doorway, as my life, it faded fast,
The priest says to my mother, ‘She has not long to last’
I remember childhood prayers that I should suffer and I should scream
I knew not what I asked, so fear – when God gives you your dreams.

And my God, you were done to me; done, dusted, signed and sealed
A strange disturbing telling of what is, and is not, real
I’m on my knees and begging, so broken yet so pleased
I’m on my knees not knowing, since you were done to me
Between abandonment and bliss – there’s just the kiss
