In the desire to observe In the desire to show love There’s only one you should serve One over all put above But flesh is so desperate and weak Your heart not one can discern With pride it cannot be meek To badness will always return Remember me don’t let me wander To the places my heart wants to go My life force don’t let me squander And victory’s give out to your foe I know that there’s nothing within me That’s useful to filling your goal Can evil and devotion agree? So death claims us all in its toll Then when a visit at midnight The enemy we cannot decline Who comes to our bed without invite? No mercy in all his design And so look to me with your pity Don’t give me the things I deserve And let me enter that city And with heart mind and soul let me serve

Our Observances
Until you've fought my fight Until you've run my race Then you don't have the right To get up in my face Don't look at me and say She didn't do it right If you live in the day And I live in the night Until you've lost your worth Stripped bare of all esteem Dragged screaming down to earth You can't be on my team So go away and think The worst thing you can find Sink to the lowest sink Your still not in my mind

My Mind
Coffee bean Live a caffeine life style Feel a bit flat white Drinking up your Java Nothing going right Off you go to marshals Coffee quick to go Can’t stop now for friendship Got to work you know Get into the office Sitting at your place Don’t you get your lifestyle? Caffeinate rat race Always in a hurry What’s the hurry for Got to earn a living Got to get some more Growers don’t plant poppies Theirs nothing left to glean Just dig up the garden And plant some coffee bean

Coffee bean
The Incubus You give pleasure to the senses You’re light and fair of form And Breakdown our defenses You’re high above the norm A child you have provided Delight to those who care But the things you have decided Are cobwebs in the air Your beauty hides a being That’s hard to harmonize With the thing that we are seeing The stories and the lies And one day when you’ve grown And your beauty’s gone away And the child looks at your designing What are you going to say? That on a whim you ravaged Three lives and just for play As a dog a victim savaged Those who let you have your way Let your aging not be graceful And your beauty not remain For your dealings are disgraceful And to look at you brings pain Let your action be rebounded And you reap what you have sown On the lies that you have founded From a heart that’s made of stone

The Incubus
My Dearest Dad Please explain my dearest dad Why you allowed the pain and sorrow Gave her everything she asked And never thought about tomorrow Did you love to much to speak When she beat me with a bar or Was it just that you were weak You always let her go to far When she spit into your face And went away and formed a tie With a lesser man to you disgrace And made the entire family cry I know your love it was sincere I know she was your very life But you should have made the limits clear To save your children from your wife

Dearest dad
I think that death has come for me I see him in the shadows there He say he wants me to be free I ask why is it that you care Knowing that he'll win one day knowing that I'll lose the fight Knowing that he'll make me pay He stalks around me day and night And so he beckons on to me It's not so bad here in the shade I only want you to be free And I am just the price that's paid The price of freedoms very high The price was set so long ago And i have nothing that can buy A single minute from my foe Knowing that he'll win one day knowing that I'll lose the fight Knowing that he'll make me pay He stalks around me day and night

Death
One day we'll say it was a dream The one's we loved and had to leave And no more count the bitter scheme Crudely played on mother eve And memory of this bitter day When in paradise regained Is washed away like feet of clay I for one will not complain Then you and I and all we love Will shout with joy and Ecstasy Praises to our god above Who paid the price and set us free

A dream
Once again I return to feel the hurt the pain Addicted to your cyanide That’s driving me insane Ride upon this sickening ride surf upon its tide Feel it rotting out my brain You are my cyanide As a child upon the bed I’d think to stop the chain Small doses of your cyanide Were coursing in my vein I didn’t know and so I ate whatever you’d provide Given the things that you’d obtain The bitter cyanide Only poison in your heart things that you’d been fed Force fed on the cyanide Lead me where your led

Cyanide
I remember you said As I sat on your bed that My love was not true Well I loved you a lot With all that I’ve got Not much but what can you do And you said that your sin Was drinking the gin I remember it made me feel ill And it hurt me a lot Took all that I’ve got Not much but what can you do Then you said it’s a lie When I would cry I don’t want to follow your way And you’d give me the taunt You don’t really want well Not much but what can I say So here’s to you mam Cause I don’t give a **** What happens now that were through I loved you a lot And I think I’ve forgot Not much but what can you do
