Somewhere in the darkest night
An innocent was crying
Beyond the reach of holy light
A believers slowly dying

The cries go out, But don’t return
Then slowly fade away
A silent whisper, fills the air
All hope begins to fade

Their faith dissolves into the dark
Loyalties for sale
Worshiping whoever will
Rescue them from this peril

The angels cry, And sing out loud
Hopelessly aware
The power of the holy light
Beyond the reach of this despair

All alone with waivered faith
The midnight hours creeping
A child alone just out of reach
The enemy awakens

Fear creates a wanton hole
That evil quickly fills
Removing all the loneliness
A false promise now revealed

Forever is a lonely place
Time offers no forgiveness
Like a drip ,,Again ,,Again
It slowly turns to madness

Unfolding everlasting change
Back and forth returning
Unending themes appearing
Silent voices still conversing

Imagination building
On a sea of shifting time
Thoughts unbound and flowing
Approaching the divine

Crystal spirits laughing
Unforgiving hallowed ground
Distant sights revealing
Smelling silence in the sound

Flowing to eternity
Neither here nor there
Amazing destinations
Thoughts cloudy although clear

The music plays
And I remember
The times we had
The times we never

Got to see
The other side
Although we wanted
But never tried

To find a way
To walk as one
Yet love fell like
The setting sun

Rise again
But not this way
Will I walk
Until the day

I walk with you
Into the night
And hold you till
The morning light

Would you still love me
If I wasn’t the same
If I had lots of money
If I wasn’t insane

Would you still love me
If you knew who I was
Would it change how you feel
Would it smother the love

Would you still love me
If I told you the truth
Would you just run
Or stand win or lose

Would you still love me
If it was all a lie
If the one that you see
Is much different inside

Will you still love me
As I go through this change
As I reshape myself
As I’m once born again

Is this pain I feel
A test or curse
Will it make me a man
Or something far far far worse

I try not to show it
It hides way inside
I cannot control it
It eats me alive

I dare not show weakness
I have to push on
Yet don’t have the power
To stand on my own

So I hide in the shadows
Away from the light
The darkness brings comfort
I live for the night

I wrap in a blanket
Of lies and deceit
I wear many masks
To hide the defeat

I woke alone in heartache
A place I never want to be
My feelings turn against me
My soul begins to bleed

My teardrops feel like winter rain
Yet burn my eyes like fire
The pain feeds, Tearing endlessly
Killing every wish, desire

A hopeless state of consequence
I never ever want to feel
My inner light is faulting
Please God make this unreal

Waves and waves of cold despair
Are thrashing through my soul
My mind aloft with final thoughts
My heart collects its toll

I came here today, To tell you a tale
A story of convicts, Of prisons and jails
I speak of a man, Who when in a pinch
Will turn on his friends, They call him
THE SNITCH
I remember that day, That we lie in our bunks
And I told him a story, Of how I got drunk
I drove way down town, I was feeling quite ill
I stopped POPS the hopper, And bought me a pill
I stepped on the gas, And sped out of town
I ran through a light, And I mowed a man down
In a couple of days, Sergeant McKIRK McGURDER
Dragged me to court, For a new charge of ******
The Judge slammed the gavel, With a sneer gave out time
My sentence then grew, Nine hundred times nine
It didn’t take long, To figure what happened
When that punk in my cell, Was soon granted full pardon
My anger grew stronger, But I’d nothing but time
I waited and waited, Revenge
Would be mine
Then came the day, We met in the shower
With fear in his eyes, He started to cower
He knew in his heart, The time had arrived
My shiv it sank deep, In his side nineteen times
So the moral I tell you, Is don’t be a *****
Cuz it’s always the end, For the one called
THE SNITCH
This is a tribute to one of my earliest and favorite artists
