The Iceman Cometh

  Legend has it in the darkness,
In the freezing cold terror reigns
The nights are filled with fear
And ice is the blood in his veins

They say he comes down from the north
And he rejoices when the west wind blows
He is as evil as the Devil himself and he
Leaves death behind wherever he goes

You can hear him whisper in the wind
As the air rushes past your ear
You can feel his chill on your neck and spine
And all your senses tell you he’s near

You’ll be his next victim if you ignore
The warning signs I’ve explained
And nothing of you will be left behind
And everything will be bloodstained

He’s known as the black sheep son of old
Man winter and as temperatures plumeth
You can be sure that death is imminent
As the Iceman cometh

SOMETIMES

   Sometimes I see her shadow
And sometimes I see a Butterfly
Sometimes it makes me smile
And sometimes it makes me cry

Sometimes I cry out for her
And sometimes she lets me know she’s there
Sometimes I’m happy she’s in Heaven
And sometimes I scream it isn’t fair

Sometimes I just want to hold her
And sometimes my life I want to share
Sometimes everything is faded
And sometimes I smell her scent in the air

Sometimes it’s too dark to see
And sometimes I feel so lost
Sometimes I recall the memories
And sometimes the pain isn’t worth the cost

Sometimes it feels the rain is never ending
And sometimes I walk in the Sunshine
Sometimes all is well with my life
And sometimes, well there’s sometimes

Just missing my mother
She passed in May of 1991

WAR

    It’s the saddest of all
When humans **** each other
And even sadder yet when it’s
Called civil and brother is killing brother

There’s nothing civil about it
We know it’s the Devil at work in his play
As he’s laughing with great joy
As thousands die each day

You see it in all types of wars
Like between the police and the thugs
The good verses the evil
And this includes the war on drugs

And there’s domestic war
When two people forget their love
As a riff comes in between them
And a push comes to a shove

And last but not least as two friends
Have a problem that they can’t solve
It boggles the mind and makes me wonder
How did this happen how did it evolve

A friend is someone you regard with
Affection and someone you trust
But as quick as the blink of an eye
A friendship can turn to rust

And one side is thrown for a loop
As they’re hit with a surprise attack
Blindsided and viciously over taken
By the other one stabbing them in the back

And just weeks before you were asked
For your love and support and prayer
And you were there for them and that
Same person becomes your slayer

As a follower of Jesus I was taught
Even if my heart had been riven
That I am to accept it and to have
The strength to say all is forgiven

And with my teaching I will and I do
With my heart but in my brain I’ll define
And this will be remembered as the moment
Trust was lost as you chose to cross the line

I just wanted to know what was wrong
Not knowing what you were fighting for
You said not to worry everything is cool
And your next action was declaring WAR

Beast Of The Angels Demise

    It’s Two Am and the darkness
Still reigns the night
The tears are fallen and it’ll
Never be too soon come the light

In the shadows I see the vision and
I can hear the echoes of love and joy
But love was conquered and destroyed
In a battle matching the likes of Troy

She was an Angel so pure,
She was sure she had the power to heal
But my pain was over bearing
Ultimately crushing her Keel

Disabling her so badly that she was
Unable to spread her wings and fly
My darkness took her life with
Unknown powers that mystify

I guess I’m destined to be without love
My heart just a sacrificial lamb
A darkness will forever reign and
Time will be forever frozen at two AM

It’s unbelievable the events that
Fell into place and came to materialize
And I can never forgive myself for being
The beast of the Angels demise

Jesus & Rock & Roll

    Well I ran into an old friend of mine
And it was clear something had him down
So I just gave him a hug and I said
Hey man what’s up with the frown

He said since I saw you last, I gave my
Heart to a woman, I guess I’ll never learn
She took my heart and what did she do?
She put it on the fire to burn

There was nothing I could do
To bring him a smile or any cheer
So I said let’s go to a bar
And I’ll buy you a beer

We sat and talked about old times
And we had a laugh or two
But the damage was done, I fear
That he’ll be forever blue

I said I gotta go and I was headed to the
Door and as I turned and waved goodbye
I saw that mans lip start to quiver
And a tear fell from his eye

And the words he said will haunt
Me until the day someone finds me dead
To be clear he said them twice and
Forever they will echo in my head

He said, take my advice my friend
If you want to save your soul
Do me a favor and just put your faith
In Jesus & Rock & Roll

Yes he said, take my advice my friend
If you want to save your soul
Do me a favor and just put your faith
In Jesus & Rock & Roll

Tornado

   In an instant life can change
It can happen in the blink of an eye
Sometimes you just can’t explain it
There’s no reason to try

Her love was like a whirlwind
She swept me off of my feet
I couldn’t believe this was happening
To me, her love was so sweet

But it was like I was Adam taking a bite
Of the Apple from the forbidden tree
Was this a contract with the Devil, trapped
In loves chains never breaking free

And as quickly as I fell in the grasp
Of love with the power of just one KISS
Knowing it for just a moment in time
That overwhelming feeling of its bliss

I found myself a drifter in the wind, circling
In the air as the strong winds blow
My heart torn to pieces as if it were
Destroyed by an F5 Tornado

Parasite

      Love is a lie, don’t believe it
Love left me broken and beaten down
Love left me in the darkness, I walked
Crowded streets but it was like a ghost town

The people were invisible or was it me
I could feel the burning fire of Hell
Even when the clouds followed me
And the rain constantly fell

I was always told that love was wonderful
Love was bliss and ecstasy
So when I fell in love I had great expectations
Of a love like a fairytale fantasy

So explain it to me, I need to know
Is this a lesson we all need to learn
Because I don’t understand why
Love hurts or why it has to burn

Why my love was a leech
Why was it evil and why did it bite
Why does the pain linger in my
Heart, like it’s the host of a parasite
