To arise like a titan,
And stare at the morning sun,
Watching the dew fall like rain down your skin,
I'm in bliss,
Happy

I made love to him,
He made love to me,
We became one underneath the smiling moon,
Two men in each others arms,
We were just friends,
But a tender kiss created a fire,
That burnt into my soul,
I had to have you,
You wanted me to,
You had to have me,
I gave myself up for you,
I made love to you,
You made love to me.

A friend made me cry tears of passion,
Tears of love,
A friend made me pray to the heavens,
And believe in life above,
She took me to her bedroom,
She took me to the floor,
She took me to a special place,
I'd never been there before,
I kissed her body from head to toe,
I kissed back up again,
She swallowed all i had to give,
She enjoyed the intense heat then,
I ate her body,
I made her ***,
I ate her sweetness,
I made her run through my fingertips,
Covering every inch of me,
I'll kiss her in the morning,
She wake to the naked sight of me.

I took a ride on the gospel train,
I saw Jesus with a gun,
He stood smiling as he shot me dead,
Underneath the evening sun.

I took a ride on the gospel train,
I saw Mary drowning God,
She stood smiling as he breathed his last,
On a cross, nails through his rod.

I took a ride on the gospel train,
I saw Judas saying prayers,
He stood crying as he asked his words,
But he knew no one was there.

I took a ride on the gospel train,
I saw myself from behind,
I stood laughing as i bent on down,
To let Jesus seek and find.

My life is a book that you may want to read,
You'll see my soul,
You'll see my heart,
You'll see the love that integrity breeds.

My life is a painting you may want to touch,
You'll feel my root,
You'll feel my core,
You'll feel the sin that disguises far too much.

My life is a song that you may want to hear,
You'll hear my pain,
You'll hear my love,
You'll hear the trembling of my skin as it shakes in fear.

My eyes are bleeding the tears that cut me deep inside,
I was tried like a villain in a court of single-sides,
I was beaten on the rocks like the ever-changing tides,
As the beast of the great grey honesty opened its jaws up wide,
I struggle to be who i am,
I struggle to be free,
I struggle with my reflection,
I struggle with being me.

He kissed me,
I kissed him back,
He took me to bed,
I let him take me there,
To heaven and a visit to hell,
Such a joy,
Such intensity,
Such passion,
Such love.

Bad luck is hunting me down,
No matter where I travel,
Whether in the country or in the town,
Thirteen is the number tattooed on my soul.

I'm thirteen, black cat, spilling-the-salt,
I demolish all goodness,
Forget all that I've been taught,
I'm thirteen, black cat, a pavement crack,
I destroy the passion,
I'm the weight that's on your back,
I'm thirteen, black cat, crossing-the-knives,
I damage her wisdom,
I'm working on breaking lives.

Paint me a picture of the inside of my soul,
Using only gray and black,
Ceaseless darkness and dreary coals.

Paint me a picture of a soldier in the rain,
Cover him in gentle tones,
To hide the man that dwells in pain.

Paint me a picture of a castle standing proud,
Its ruined structure still bold,
More dignity than I'm allowed.

In the corner of my mind lies a hidden miracle,
An honest feeling that dwells undisturbed,
Motionless,
Frozen in time,
It's an image of what might have been,
If time had let you stay and not forced you to let go,
It's the fear,
The fact that i'll never know.

Glad for what we had but it's not enough,
They say 'take the smooth with the rough',
But hell isn't a place you are meant to travel through,
You were stolen and i was thrown to the ever-after,
In space and given to Hades,
I drowned in despair.

I miss you.

Today i grew older,
I am now 22,
But the sadness of my reflection,
Hurts me through and through,
I should be dancing and flying with the stars,
But the agony of my recollections,
Removes the essence of all i do.

A child beneath the stars held his teardrops in his hands,
And let them fall through his fingertips like the turning of the sands,
His mother had hurt him,
His father had cried,
And the anger was building,
Suppress it though he tried.

He moved toward the edge and leapt into eternity,
No more to be seen,
His mother now dreams of turning back the clocks,
His father wants a magic wand to reverse the trick,
The evil plan,
No explanation can ease the agony,
But the boy is free,
Close your eyes and see,
The boy is me.

Sadness in the eyes of a preacher,
As his church grows emptier by the day,
Religion is not as strong,
But for the preacher the days are long,
Night times are lonely,
Hymns go unheard,
Tired of the gospel failing the word,
Upon the crucifix he lays his truth,
Behind the bible of fables and tales,
Upon the blue sadness he drowns and bails.

Failing the test of love,
Sunken into the still waters of fear,
And in a prism of doubt,
I live out my fantasy,
Of stolen dreams and nightmares,
That are found inside my soul.

Caught between the two worlds,
The land of sunshine and the soil of darkness,
I'm stranded in a vicious circle,
Scared and alone,
I collapse as i pick up the phone,
Too tired to push the buttons,
I'm sinking,
Being swallowed by the truth,
I want to leap from this roof,
The top of my despair,
Is knowing you are not there,
To care,
To share,
It's not fair,
My eyes drained of feeling,
My eyes drained of life,
They stare,
They glare,
They're bare.

See them applauding,
After we're through performing,
The crowd had enjoyed the show,
We take our bow, it's time for us to go.

He plays among the stars,
Throwing space dust in my eyes,
******* in orbit,
A spaceman,
My love.

If you decided to change your mind,
I'd drop everything,
Leave the girl I'm with for you,
True love though our lips never met,
You make me feel at one,
Let's lay in the sun,
If you decided to change your mind,
I'd drop everything.

You took me aside at the theatre,
We're meant to be rehearsing a play,
But then deep into my eyes you stared,
And my heart melted as i heard you say,
'I now find myself single and my heart is beating for you,
I feel like I'm falling in love - tell me, do you feel it too?'

My heart stopped and my breath was stolen,
I looked into your beautiful eyes,
Reached down and clasped your hand so tightly,
And then slowly i gave you my replies,
'I have wanted to hear you saying those words for far too long,
I feel like i'm falling in love - and this love is burning strong.'

The beast of night falls around me like a cloak,
It smothers me,
It covers me,
Surrounding me,
Dumbfounding me.

I sit alone and afraid,
I do not dare to move,
Any little motion,
Might give him the notion,
That i am in the frame of mind,
To be truly unkind,
And he'll strike.

Look at the silent candle glowing in the corner,
I stare deep into its orange flame,
I feel like a stranger in my house,
But everything is the same,
I'm still empty,
I'm still cold,
I'm living the story,
I never told.

Look at the silent candle burning in the shadows,
I gaze deep into its fading light,
I feel like a demon in this hell,
As i head into the night,
I'm so frightened,
I'm so hurt,
I'm rotting from inside,
Turning to dirt.

Bombs can fall,
Skies can tumble,
Earth can shatter,
Mountains tumble,
I won't care as long as you are here,
Here this year,
This fresh, crisp New Year,
Be here this year,
With me my dear,
Stay near,
Never fear,
My path you'll steer,
Unafraid in the headlights like a deer,
Never shed a tear,
Throughout this year,
Be with me,
Near with me,
My dear with me,
This New Year with me.

See the light in their eyes,
As they realise they have grown,
Looking all around them to demonstrate,
Every little thing they've been shown,
Another year wiser,
Another day to enjoy,
It's a birthday carnival,
A festival of light,
See the sparkle as they grow,
See the diamonds in the know,
On their birthday filled with merriment,
See the light in their eyes,
Feeling heaven sent.

Make a fresh start,
Turn over that leaf that has kept you bound,
Remove yourself from the clutches of the past,
Make a resolution to last,
This year make a change,
Make a change before you are changed for eternity.

We lay beneath the moonlit sky,
And count down the minutes,
Until we enter the millennium,
Together and whole,
Body and soul.

We lay beneath the moonlit cloak,
And enjoy the seconds,
Before we cross to the millennium,
Forever as one,
No troubles - none.

Have you seen the rabbits?
Look at them on the fields,
They are searching with the children,
Where are the eggs?
Where is the meaning?
Where's the Easter Bunny?
I see his trail,
I felt his tail,
And I know that Easter is here,
It's time,
It's time.

I remember my first,
One candle astride a cake,
Family panting and puffing,
Until the flame went clear,
Clapping and applauding,
My first birthday year.

I remember my second,
Two candles proud like the twin towers,
I was breathing and blowing,
Until the towers collapsed in tears,
Laughing and screaming,
My second birthday year.

I remember my ninth,
Nine candles arranged like a ballet,
Dancing flames quickly clamped down,
Until the flames were no more,
Eating and chatting,
My ninth birthday year.

I remember my twenty-first,
Two candles, each with a number, over-sized on the cake,
Burning brightly as I come of age,
Snuffed out like childhood,
Conversing and lying,
My twenty-first birthday year.

I won't remember my last,
No candles astride a cake,
No family to blow them out,
Or to buy them for me,
Isolated and frightened,
My last birthday year.

Good Friday man,
Places his basket of eggs on the ground,
He helps another soul carry his cross,
Not worried if he'll misplace or earn loss,
Just a struggling man,
In need of a hand,
He watches the condemned raised,
Before slowly drifting to peace,
He returns to his basket,
His heart sunken deep,
His eggs are now painted,
In beautiful colours steeped,
The seeds of his good deed reaped.

I look upon a field of daffodils,
Blooming,
In need of grooming,
So my mirror says,
But my heart is light,
Warm and free,
Head out to see the stars,
As Easter dawns and night departs,
I look upon a field of daffodils.

Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice,
Watch as he comes back to free us,
Freedom,
Liberation,
Strong,
Song,
Easter Time,
To him be glory and power forever and ever,
Amen!

I'm sitting in the passenger seat of my limousine,
Waiting for the driver to open the door,
To greet the adoring crowd,
Screaming and singing and chanting my name aloud,
It's my party to celebrate my turning 21,
The moon is out, browned from the summer sun.

Celebrate,
Celebrate,
Celebrate the good times,
The birthdays,
Christmas Time,
New Year and Easter,
Under the tree with your chocolate eggs,
Wrapped in birthday paper,
As we watch the clock strike midnight,
The calender changes,
Celebrate,
Celebrate,
The good times,
The good times,
The good times.

Raise your glass to the clock,
As arm in arm we sing 'Auld Land Syne',
Welcome in the winter, summer, autumn and spring,
The seasons of this New Year,
Stay dancing in evening dresses,
Tuxedo's and top-hats,
Until the early hours of the first day of forever,
Raise your glass to the clock,
Drink down the passion of happiness.

The paper is torn open,
A shiny shimmering gold,
Lay in streams on the floor,
With rivers of cello-tape stretched between,
Under the seasons of wrap you find a gift,
A present to receive,
From those who loved you and those who you love,
Birthday present,
A photograph frame,
To capture the smile and store it on your shelf,
To never forget the perfect Birthday present,
A memory.

Children run along the fields,
Searching behind each tree,
Looking under stones and rocks,
Looking in each cupboard,
Behind each padlock,
Wanting to find the treat thats hidden somewhere,
They know the adults stole away to hide them,
Chocolate eggs,
Bunny rabbits and tiny chicks roaming too,
Searching for the re-born future,
Promised from the moment of returning,
Looking under stones and rocks,
Looking in each cupboard,
Behind each padlock.

At the end of a rainbow lay a basket,
A basket full of eggs,
And in each egg lay a message,
'I died, I rose again to give you freedom,
To bring you Easter day'.

No balloons,
No streamers or birthday cards,
A year has passed me by,
Alone and cold until i die,
My birthday is another day,
Just another day alone,
In the darkened room,
Watching the moon,
Was isolated too soon,
Alone with a candle,
My birthday gloom.

Out of the window, hand in hand,
We look up to the stars,
And hear the chimes on TV ring,
To see the joy this New Year brings,
See the fireworks blazing high,
Through the midnight hour sky,
Watch them fly,
Watch them fly,
Watch them fly.

Looking down the Christmas table,
I see my family laughing and smiling,
The picture of joy,
A friend on my right,
A sister on my left,
A lover in my heart.

Looking down the Christmas table,
I see my family eating and drinking,
The picture of life,
My ******* my right,
My brother on my left,
My parents in my heart.

Looking down the Christmas table,
I see my family hugging and kissing,
The picture of love,
My ******* my right,
My mother on my left,
My father in my heart.

I woke today and saw the frost,
It was perched on the rooftops,
The rooftops of every roof in town,
I saw the snow as it trickled down,
To the ground,
Fluttering sound.

I woke today and saw the frost,
It rests on the Christmas trees,
The trees decorated with baubles,
I saw the tinsel and the angel,
Christmas time,
This special time.

Some believe in Santa Claus,
And some believe in God,
I believe in the Easter Bunny,
I know the path he trod.

He passes through many streets and towns,
Leaving, on his way,
Many eggs and gifts and sweets,
And games for all to play.

Easter comes but once a year,
Though its roots are divine,
We understand the joy he brings,
At this special time.

Here comes the Easter Bunny,
With his fluffy tail,
He dances through the countries,
Quickly, as careful as a snail.
