A Wistful Offering
03:19
|

|
Make me a wistful offer wandering
Fill me with sweetness lusting after
A melody I crave upon your canvas
Inside a frame of golden embers
Build me a sight of your decor
I caress thy offering within my soul
Burn me a candle of our scent
With flames upon our sacred temple
Upon a sight of holiness within me
A match made in my own heaven
Build me a sight of your decor
I caress thy offering within my soul

Temple

A loving temple within my heart
A simple kind of love inflamed in me
A loving temple within my heart aflame
My intention
My emission
Desperation
Cure me of
Loneliness
I’m craving your holiness
Separation
I sacrifice my only heart and
Aggregation
Failed emotions
Salutation
Separate me inside
Fill me with all thy might
When in doubt I
May shine as the light from the sun
Humbled by your
Touch within me
Speaking to me
Invigorate me inside
Giving all thy might
Inflame, inflame, inflame
A loving temple within my heart
A simple kind of love inflamed in me
A loving temple within my heart aflame
Revelation
Within emotion
Meditation
Tearing my soul in two
Leaving just me and you
When did my heart
Come to be such a lonely place? And…
Elevation
Liberation
Levitation
Lifting me higher in mine
Holding my soul to shine
Feeling for a time as one
With the light of the sun…

How Do I Love You More
05:15
|

|
The sun may shine upon your face
In all its radiance I feel you within me
Heaven help me
For every day I’ve seen your face
The time in all the world still stops for you
Heaven sent you to me
The way you look
I can’t believe myself
How did I come across your way
And how did you come to love me?
How do I love you more?
After all I have to give
How do I love you more?
After all I’ve had to say
How do I love you more?
In spite of all I do
I still have yet to feel that I deserve you
I must not fail…
A summer’s touch and a winter’s heart
I felt that I would never feel a lover’s soul
Until I saw you
A life where I had only seen
The darkness of the world erased from my memories
Look at what you’ve done to me
The way you feel
I can’t believe myself
How did I come across your way
And how did I come to hold you?
How do I love you more, after all I’ve yet to do?

Darling

What do I owe this pleasure of your visit my darling?
Is it not for the sake of your own grace, my darling?
Might I ask you to step inside my heart, my darling?
Is it not for the sake of my own craving, my darling?
I am wishing for what I may just find
I admit my defeat
To your love…To your love
Show me the grace of love divine
Hang me upon your sculpture of heaven’s gate
Free me of my desire to repent
That I may see my intentions
Feel me for I am shaking to my core
That I may feel the warmth of your love
….my intentions known.
Hold me, hold me.
Please believe me when I say that I will love you, my darling.
And I shall never drift away from your arms, my darling.
Bring me close for night shall bring the cold, my darling.
In my home you’re the sun to my own moon, my darling.
I am wishing for what I may just find
I admit my defeat
Free me of my desire to repent
That I may see my intentions
Feel me for I am shaking to my core
That I may feel the warmth of your love
Break me upon society and prayer
That it may be my cross to bear.
Should I become a victim at the stake
Then may I wish you from my pain.
…i embrace my own
…my intentions known.
Hold me, hold me.

Beautiful

I was speaking of times
Of a restless time where I might be inclined to offer sympathy
I was speaking of times
Of a restless time where I might be inclined to find a remedy
I was speaking of times
Of a restless time where I might be inclined to live a memory
I was speaking of times
Of a restless time where I might be reminded of your beautiful eye
Of mine
You are my remedy…aye-aye
Oh mine
I keep singing in time
Of a mind that I am implied to be kind of my morality
I keep singing in time
Of a mind that I may find the design of my own destiny
I keep singing in time
Of a mind that I wouldn’t mind that in time within a melody
That in singing in time
I may find the design of my mind within sight of my own memory
Even if I could
Even if I should
Decide with my own fate
That I may one day say
That I was never
That I was never enough in my eyes
To decide on my own fate
Then I may find no mind
I was speaking of times
Of a restless time where I might be inclined to offer sympathy
I was speaking of times
Of a restless time where I might be inclined to find a remedy
I keep singing in time
Of a mind that I wouldn’t mind that in time within a melody
That in singing in time
I may find the design of my mind within sight of my own beautiful…

Ivvas Austin, Texas
Music from the heart to provoke thought. We are forever evolving as a people and as a culture in this society for which Ivvas is merely a reflection.
Ivvas recommends:
Amen 1
by Mikko Joensuu
I heard "Closer My God" through "No Clean Singing" oddly enough and I loved the flow of the entire record.

Fear Of A Unique Identity

Antimatter has come to be a great influence on me and how I compose music. This is one of my favorite albums...ever...
go to album
The Man In My Head
by Roy Dahan
I found this through browsing through bandcamp. "Light My Way" reeled me in so quick and it was after about 15-20 listens of the song before I remembered that there were 10 other songs that followed.
