Secure Yourself Lyrics


Secure yourself to Heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begunIn the ink of an eye I saw you bleed
Through the thunder I could hear you scream
Solid to the air I breathe
Open eyed and fast asleepFalling softly as the rain
No footsteps ringing in your ears
Ragged down worn to the skin
Warrior raging, have no fearSecure yourself to Heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begunI'm kneeling down with broken prayers
Hearts and bones from days of youth
Restless with an angel's wing
I dig a grave to bury youNo feet to fall, you need no ground
Allowed to glide right through the sun
Released from circles guarded tight

Now we all are chosen onesSecure yourself to Heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begunSecure yourself to Heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begunIn the ink of an eye I saw you bleed
Through the thunder I could hear you scream
Solid to the air I breathe
Open eyed and fast asleep(Falling softly)
Falling softly as the rain
(No footsteps)
No footsteps ringing in your ears
Ragged down worn to the skin
Warrior raging, have no fearSecure yourself to Heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begunSecure yourself to Heaven
(In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed)
Hold on tight, the night has come
(Through the thunder I could hear you scream)
Fasten up your earthly burdens
(Solid to the air I breathe)
You have just begun
(Open eyed and fast asleep)Secure yourself to Heaven
(No feet to fall, you need no ground)
Hold on tight, the night has come
(Allowed to glide right through the sun)
Fasten up your earthly burdens
(Released from circles guarded tight)
You have just begun
(Now we all are chosen ones)Now we all are chosen ones
(Secure yourself to Heaven)
Allowed to glide right through the sun
(Hold on tight the night has come)
Released from circles guarded tight
(Fasten up your earthly burdens)
Now we all are chosen ones

The Indigo Girls are Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met on the playground in grammar school in Decatur, Georgia, USA, and have been playing together since high school.

Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single named "Crazy Game", with the B-side "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". That same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track Extended play album named "Indigo Girls", and in 1987 released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including "Crazy Game". With this release, they secured the services of Russell Carter, who remains their manager to the present; they had first approached him when the EP album was released, but he told them their songs were "immature" and they were not likely to get a record deal.

They were signed to Epic Records in 1989 and won the Grammy for best contemporary folk album later that year (for their self titled release) Some of their hit songs include "Galileo," "Closer to Fine," and "Shame on You."

Aside from being musicians, Ray and Saliers are activists, constantly supporting causes like gun control, women's rights, Native American rights, environmental protection, the abolition of the death penalty, and as lesbians themselves, LGBT rights. They constantly devote their time and money to such causes, often playing benefit concerts.

Ray and Saliers both have side projects. Ray owns and founded Daemon Records, an independent label based in Decatur. She also has a career as a solo artist, and has released two albums thus far. Saliers is the part owner of Watershed, a restaurant and wine bar in Decatur.

Together, the Indigo Girls are constantly touring. Their new album, Poseidon and the Bitter Bug, was released March 24, 2009.
