LADY AMULET

It depicts the seduction of darkness and is about my own struggle with the lure of Theosophy, New Age, New Light, and sorcery. The final inspiration came when I attended a huge outdoor New Age fair in Southern California, in the San Fernando Valley northwest of Los Angeles, it was right out of the mystical Middle Ages. I lost this song for many years and just found it. It was like the parable of the lost coin, where the woman search her house to find it. This song was not included in my completed poetry collection because I could not find it. So here it is in its entirety.
My Lady Amulet, you have not gotten me yet
You’ve placed your money, you’ve placed your bets
But you’ll not make me your marionette
CHORUS:
‘Cause don’t you know that Jesus cut me free
from Satan’s strings of sorcery
Lucifer’s light shinesso bright
An angel of light, it looks so right
But I’ll not be a child of the night
So get thee behind me, and make your flight
My Lady Amulet, you have not gotten me yet
You’ve placed your money, you’ve place your bets
But you’ll not make me your marionette
‘Cause don’t you know that Jesus cut me free
from Satan’s strings of sorcery
Lucifer’s light shines so bright
An angel of light, it looks so right
But I’ll not be a child of the night
So get thee behind me, and make your flight
You’ve spread your wares, and even worn your jewels
But if I follow you, I would be the fool
You’ve pitched your tents
And even have your schools
But don’t you know who really makes the rules?
Prophets foretold from the ages of old
Many would fall from the faith and leave the fold
For giving heed to your idols of gold
And receiving the mark of the mystery mold
I know your works, I know them only too well,
But you’ll not cast me into one of your molds.
You’re going to fortune-tell your way into Hell
Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel.
‘Cause don’t you know that Jesus cut me free
from Satan’s strings of sorcery
Lucifer’s light shines so bright
An angel of light, it looks so right
But I’ll not be a child of the night
So get thee behind me, and make your flight
