Litter Creek/Raining Down Demands

Here they are our wild pledges

Watch them flee from soot to sea

Barren left with our stone vision

Trash it up and call to me



Brought to life from God forsaken

Septic through the rocks and toll

Picked upon by birds of cotton

Set upon by force unknown



Bare to mind we are mistaken

Care to think we've been mislead

But changes not to our first shaken

Head to toe we are well fed



Impose upon the artist fairground

I demand a fascination

Make believe I am your wanted

Show to me your heart's worth taken



Paint for me a sunlit sky way

All such things that make me sing

Draw the tears that know no daylight

Illustrate for your creek king



The land be ruled by hands of silken

Wrath reserved for neighbor's fool

I'll command the few grieve stricken

Raining embers down on you



I am makings of revival

Living breathing decompose

You will bend and bow so neatly

Working toil beneath my throne



And I will gladly seek your solace

Drunk and giddy from closed hands

Steep below me and I'll continue

To lay my crown upon the land.
