about

"Lady Wisdom" was a track from Fathom's self-released debut CD demo "Available Light" mixes the elements of modern rock guitar and drums with the traditional Celtic sound of mandolin and fiddle for a truly unique sound. Poetic lyrics range through weighty spiritual topics to basic themes of lost love. This 7 song CD is the culmination of Fathom's first 6 months together.

1000 Copies were pressed & physical CD's sold out and are now collectors item. Digital version available here from the Fathom archive

lyrics

Oh lady wisdom all the people they are looking for you
Why don't you come down here and show us who we are
Cause all the presidents and powerful kings of this corporate realm
Oh they don't know you, or care where you are

You sought your home among men
And found no place to rest
Not one single soul, has asked you to dance

Oh lady wisdom all the judges they've forgotton you
And in your place they plant the root of all lies
The painted tombs and the palaces of this modern world
Have no ten commandments, no writing on the wall

You sought your home among men
And found no place to rest
Not one single soul, has asked you to dance

We will dance among the stars
High above the blue abyss
In the deepest regions of the soul
Under God's own wing, needing not a thing
Waiting for the Son, waiting for the darkness to end

Oh lady wisdom your hands more precious than purest gold
And all the silver hands of men fumble for
Wrought by the hand of God, from the fountain of His heart
Oh lady wisdom formed before the furthest star

You sought your home among men
And found no place to rest
Not one single soul, has asked you to dance
