Ice Cold Body
written by Roma di Luna, 2005

Wake on my knees; to make this bread
I toil so hard my bones have turned blood red
Ribbon tied around a nest; Where Blue birds sing
Keeps me from rest

Chorus:
Ice-cold body
Found Good Friday
It was my husband
And it took my breath away (repeat)

He will beat you
But you'll forgive him
He will rape you
But you'll never leave him

Ribbon tied around my neck
He carved his name
Upon my chest

Here's a nickel child
Keep your belly warm
Don't be ungrateful
A beggar you were born

Ribbon tied around my life
Mistakes I've made
They cut me like a knife

I am a sinner
But I'm not alone
Christ is my shadow
And he will lead me home

Ribbon tied around me neck
He buried his spirit
Beneath my breast
