On July 1st, 2014, Madonna mentioned “Messiah” for the first time. A little later, she posted a clip showing musicians playing orchestral strings, so presumely the song will feature pop strings, a la Toxic. On July 7th, 2014 she teased the lyrics on Instagram.
[Verse 1]
I am the promise that you cannot keep
Reap what you sow, find what you seek
I am the sorceress down in the deep
I am the earth under your feet
I am the moon with no light of my own
You are the sun, guardin' your throne
I heard the angels whisper to me
Look for the signs, he is the one
[Chorus]
I'll light a candle here in the dark
Makin' my way to your heart
I'll cast a spell that you can't undo
Till you wake up and you find that you love me too
Till you wake up and you find that you love me too
[Verse 2]
I'll be the bride that is married to life
You are the day, I am the night
Weave you a blanket of silver and gold
I'll keep you warm, do as I'm told
I need your strength, it will keep me from harm
I'll be your queen, safe in your arms
Don't wanna get to the end of my days
Sayin' I wasn't amazed
[Chorus]
I'll light a candle here in the dark
Makin' my way to your heart
I'll cast a spell that you can't undo
Till you wake up and you find
I'll light a candle here in the dark
Making my way to your heart
I'll cast a spell that you can't undo
Till you wake up and you find that you love me too
[Outro]
Till you wake up and you find that you love me too
Till you wake up and you find that you love me too
