Story Behind the Song
Just a quick tangent in Emily's musical repertoire... this song lives beyond fulfilling a 10th grade English assignment.
Emily plays acoustic and electric guitars, fretless bass, piano and sings.
Recorded and produced by Ricardo Accorsi at Corner Window Studios in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, CA.
Lyrics
To Mercy Pity Peace and Love,
All pray in their distress:
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness.
For Mercy has a human heart
Pity, a human face:
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.
Cruelty has Human Heart
And Jealousy a Human Face.
Terror, the Human Form Divine
And Secrecy, the Human Dress.
The Human Dress, is forged iron
The human form, a fiery forge.
The human face, a Furnace seal’d
The Human Heart, its hungry gorge.
And Peace, the human dress, is forged iron
And Love, the human form divine, a fiery forge.
Pity, a human face, a Furnace seal’d
For Mercy has a human heart, its hungry gorge.
