A most excellent point, Mike...I'm not sure how much of Sire of Sorrow was
HER text and how much was lifted from Job. I don't know which version or
translation she used when writing the lyrics, but her writing could have
taken much of the text directly from the source.
Which isn't to take anything away from "Sire of Sorrow", one of the most
brilliant pieces she's written, and I think one of her attempts to reconcile
herself with The Bible which she had dismissed at an early age.
