PROPHETS AND POETS
To all the singers and writers of song
Now is the time of prophets and poets…
Be true
Now is the time of grand soaring sagas
Of Truth
I beg you be true, to the one true call
I beg you be true, to the one true call
Now is the time for singers and weepers
To stay
Now is the time for the warriors
To enter the fray
I beg you be true, to the one true call
I beg you be true, to the one true call
If we do not speak, Truth still explodes from our lips
If we do not act, Truth still drips from our finger tips
Now is the time for Prophets and Poets
To stay…Singing Truth
DEATH BLOW
A Song
Stop strikin’ the death blow
Start lettin’ the love flow
Stop makin’ the death toll
Mount up in our lives
You do damage like tornadoes in the spring
You bring storms and fear with everything you sing
Oh oh in you…
I know it’s buried deep in you
You cause hurricanes with every move you make
But I’m just waitin’ for the Truth and not the Fake
Glühwendel Brennt Durch
In you…
You take the sunshine and you turn it into rain
You take our happiness and turn it into pain
You cause misery and hurt to test our hearts
You do everything to make life fall apart
In you
Oh oh in you
I know that’s buried in you too
You rip out chunks a life just like you are a Pit Bull
Then stand up straight n’ smile pretendin’ that you’re old school
You slash me up one side and then right down the other
Then hug me tight and whisper that you are my Brother
In You…
Use ta see that in you
A True brother in you
Stop strikin’ the death blow
Start lettin’ the love flow
Stop makin’ the death toll
Mount up in our lives
REMEMBERING
Photo attributed to: Rob Marrow
I remember feeling things so deeply
Feelings so strong I would weep
But now my life is flat-lining
Walking around in my sleep
Never thought I’d long for the return
Of tears and silent weeping
Now I know the importance of
profoundly and deeply feeling
Never thought I’d wish for crying
And the ache of missing your touch
Now I long for the power again of
Just loving you so much.
