Here's one verse of a song:


    Heretic's Heart
       
    I once was bound but now I'm gone
    Away from the faithful fold;
    The ones who preach that holiness
    Is to do what you are told.
    Though law and scripture, priest and prayer
    Have all instructed me,
    My skin, my bones, my heretic heart
    Are my authority.
       

I'd like to see the rest of the words.

Thank you,

The version on this page, also credited to Catherine Madsen, has few
different words:

Madsen's recording of the song is available on "The Best of Pagan Song" CD:

Thanks, Juggler!  I wouldn't know if it's complete or not, but it does
appear to be all of a piece.  If anyone else knows of other verses,
perhaps they'll post a pointer to them.
