about

a tribute to the power of the divine feminine

lyrics

oh mother you worked so hard, oh mother they should have warned you
oh mother let down your guard and let me carry you, carry you
oh mother you slayed the demons, oh mother you drank their blood
jai mother, it's not about getting even
it's your boundless, boundless love
jai ma shakti jai ma tara
you hold the skull and the blade, from you we draw our power
jai ma devi decentering the brahmins
jai ma shakti the darkest darkest diamond
oh mother they shook your faith, oh mother they burned your Bible
in your throat the sound of creation, you'll tear down all your rivals
oh mother they never told you, oh mother they never hold you
oh mother please let me carry you now
