Guiraud

Saint Guiraud (1070–1123) was a bishop of Béziers of the twelfth century

He is said to have been the second prior of Cassan Abbey. He served as bishop from 1121 to November 5, 1123. He is a Catholic saint.

Born in Puissalicon, Guiraud later became the focus of local legends.

One legend states that when he was being baptized, the baptismal water began to boil. Legends also considered to be of a modest circumstances. However, several acts and charters have the signature "Guiraud of Puissalicon”, indicating noble birth. He was buried near Saint Aphrodisius, the legendary first bishop of the city.

    Pity For A Dime

    by: Creed

    An artificial season
    Covered by summer rain
    Losing all my reason
    Cause there's nothing left to blame
    Shadows paint the sidewalk
    A living picture in a frame
    See the sea of people
    All their faces look the same
    So I sat down for awhile
    Forcing a smile
    In a state of self-denial
    Is it worthwhile
    Sell my pity for a dime
    Yeah, Just one dime
    Sell my pity for a dime
    Yeah, Just one dime
    Plain talk can be the easy way
    Signs of losing my faith
    Losing my faith
