The members of Chalice and Blade all have different musical roots from choir to 70’s rock. They met singing pagan music and teaching what they knew in chant workshops or good old fashioned campfire singalongs. The original band, Parnassus, was formed with some other friends, to bring all those chants and songs together and record them. Six years later – Wendy, Dennis, Sue and Mojo are Chalice and Blade.

Late At Night
Chalice And Blade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
around 12:30
The early bird don' get the worm
Worm wood all in my tea nigga, don't believe me just watch and learn
I want an eggs Benedict with no onion
Man all these niggas go broke stunting
and my team like a gang of ninjas all moving like we just stole something
And the cops out here like ghost hunters
Strategize over analyze and then acting like they just know something
Y'all niggas be some straight busters
Young Carl Johnson with the wife beater.
Bionic Bunny with the ant eater.
Wing zero gun dam with the heat seeker.
I Just want a little light, golden wings so I can fly
Later beams from out my open eye
Part the sea and rearrange the sky
Level 9, pantomime , pedigree, innuendo, in your window there he sleep
Dare he breathe, DDTs and Pedigrees, 7 weeks of therapy
The lyrics to Chalice And Blade's song Late at Night seem to depict the rapper waking up in the middle of the night, feeling somewhat restless and ready to take on the world. He seems to be slightly edgy, as evidenced by the reference to "worm wood" in his tea, implying that he may be trying to find ways to wake up and feel more alert. He then goes to mention how he wants his food made and comments on how his team is like a group of ninjas, probably meaning that they are tight-knit and work together seamlessly, almost like they are part of an exclusive club.
The rapper then goes on to talk about how the police force in his area seems to be ready to strike and how they are provoking criminals into action. He seems to have a keen eye for detail and mentions how these officers analyze and strategize their actions, almost as if they know their prey all too well. The rapper then uses derogatory language to describe his enemies, calling them "straight busters" and aligning them with well-known video game and cartoon characters such as Carl Johnson, Bionic Bunny, and Wing Zero.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be about finding one's place in the world and making the most of every opportunity. The rapper seems to have a strong sense of self and is ready to take on anything that comes his way.
