Story Behind The Song
Bruce composed this song in response to one of his visionary dreams about Mary Magdalene, with a Gnostic alchemical theme.
Then in 2010 Bruce and La Sette traveled to the "red spring" of Mary Magdalene in France the song symbolizes, infused with the alchemical gold of myth, legend and spiritual transformation. See the photo page for the rest of the story.
"The meeting with the goddess (who is incarnate in every woman) is the final test of the talent of the hero to win the boon of love (charity: amor fati), which is life itself enjoyed as the encasement of eternity." -Joseph Campbell

Lyrics
Your Blood is Gold
(Ode to the Sacred Female)
lyrics and music
by Bruce Anderson
2009
Magdalena in my mind blood is flowing in our time,
Isis unveiled turn the tide of history,
Sacred Goddess set me free prophets return on the sea,
Love descending from your universe to me,
La Sette joy of love for you recalls secrets we once knew,
Gnostic contenders for the truth to set us free,
God and Goddess of the blood blessing kingdom of the flood,
Restoring sacred female once lost here to me,
Refrain:
Hidden Goddess mystery of saints of old,
Set in stone her blood is gold,
Sacred female please forgive your truth was sold,
Return to me your blood is gold,
-
Hierosgamos sacred union of our love,
Sets my spirit on the ocean like a dove,
Sacred promise sacred union comes for two,
We will know the joys of love that we once knew
If you believe in love beyond this mundane world,
You'll find the secret in your soul is then unfurled,
Consort of the God and Goddess sets us free,
Forever joining love spread out upon the sea,
Refrain:
