LADY AMULET

Words and Music by James Sundquist

©1977©2014 EAGLE MASTERWORKSPRODUCTIONS


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
