The earth cries blood from the vessels of life
No haven from the tide of torture about to bequeath
This well trodden land
For 40 days and 40 nights we have bowed our heads
In shame
And still the rain comes

Torrent after torrent to feed our guilt
We pray for sun
An answer that never comes
Tears from the land
Swallow us
Devour us
Feed on our expected want

The land has left and my boat
Is filled
For the masses the search is on
In new pastures
A new life
A new way to treat ourselves
I wait for the calm

Sun oh shine down on my life
Shine down on this world
As I land for the ready
Underneath my look the green shoots
Flow  
Hold my hand and  
Let the fun begin

My mask of a thousand years shows no emotion
For this world
For each grain of its being
Holds a story for our future
Each line, crease and fold bares heavy
In my heart

And the world continues its turn
What horrors have I unleashed
7 billion souls
Hungry
Wanting
Crying for a better hope

And still they prey
It is this waste that enrages me into action
I gave them life and all they do is
Fight it
Steal it
Shame it
All to anger me
Rage me into the monster I so rarely wish  

The time has come for the mask to fall
This place needs me
My world is broken
And I am ashamed
Look at me and worry
For the future is here and
The story is written

As I stepped outside as clear in the air
A brightest of light sparkled so near
The stars in their twinkle did come to my lips
This breath taken over all held in a wisp

Amazingly brilliant all ready for view
The lights in the sky so gloriously new
No boundaries given just clear in the night
This wondrous feeling I'm free I'm alive

My smile did return as I stared back in awe
The sky on this night so beautiful calm
I knew there and then that I'd taken the choice
The no turning back a voice to rejoice

My writing returned the book on the table
I'm coming free world I'm willing and able
My name will be up there as clear as the night
The time for the future is here shining bright

Ink
The ink is dying in my thoughts
What am I
On
No widow wakes
Nor sleep from my
Dreams
Blank whiteness so becomes
Blinded

Music takes me
Plays my soul
Beats my toes to a jitter
Hands that want to scream
Hold this pen of life

So cold is the flow
A breath on hold
Cold
So cold
Teeth bitten to a silence
The ink has solidified
My heart had died

The spiders in my head love to dance
In control of my thoughts they prance
Washing my will
They dance for the thrill

The spiders in my mind own me
Look at my eyes and you will see them
Hiding a flaunt as they spin
Up a storm  

The spiders in my soul cry a reach
For they search this skin for love
On my lonely world
I progress

Be careful when I speak
Hear the spider
Look at me
For a kiss
I will open your eyes

I can feel your pain
Don't hide the truth
Tell us out
Feed the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

We wont bite
Just tell you good
Hold my hand
Feel the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

See my smile
It's here for good
Just let go
Feed the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

This is the club of life
Where good is good
Hurt is forbidden
Feel the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

Just one small step
That's all it needs
A life for freedom
Feel the love
Feel our love
Walk on over to the other side

Father dear Father

Your music played on the radio
No words from these lips
I remembered the sunshine in your smile
A laugh that had me out
All gone down
A memory bliss

Father dear Father

The clouds were light,fluffy and soft
My grasp reaching to a faded hand
The sky blue gave me a lift
Till I looked over
Then I was sad
So lonely

Father dear Father

It's been a while yet still I pain
Still I want another chance
Another breath
My vision blurred by watered eyes
This cry
Your long long sleep
