	Its almost impossible for any writer who's truly in touch with themselves to endure something traumatic and not have it resurface in a song at some point in his or her artistic life. Tori Amos has "Me and A Gun". Fiona Apple has "Sullen Girl". "Hallowed Ground" was my way of purging painful memories in order that they may peacefully take on a life of their own somewhere other than inside me.

	Lyrics Hallowed Ground © Aruna and Alain Mallet Where am I right now? Can I break these chains somehow? Im helpless like a child to the rivers that rage inside Whispers turn to screams Torn apart by two extremes Somewhere down the line theres a part of me I left behind A kitten in a cage The innocence that turned to rage Burning like a candle in the darkest sky What have I become? Miles away from anyone Im reaching out my hand, but nobody can understand Silent and alone Stuck inside this heart of stone Im looking for a light in a desolate and hazy night The darkness deep inside The secrets I just cant confide Tearing me asunder and pulling me under time Cuz Im stigmatized still By the scars of his will Heavy and dirty like the cross I carry around And if I knew how to cry I could stand and defy The fury and shame thats claimed my hallowed ground An angel in disguise Is looking out from behind my eyes Offering tomorrow and watching it fade away Cuz Im stigmatized still By the scars of his will Heavy and dirty like the cross I carry around And if I knew how to cry I could stand and defy The fury and shame that's claimed me, stained me, became my hallowed ground
