a place beyond
the skies
we see,
where the Aeons
call your name.

they whisper words
without a sound
and you hear them
just the same.

Your mind is beautiful
Your soul draws me in
With its delicate calm
And I have niether the strength
Nor the will to escape
I want to die in there
That I may know heaven
Dein Geist is schön
Deine Seele zieht mich hinein
Mit ihrer zarten Friedlichkeit
Woraus der zu flüchten
Habe ich weder die Wille noch die Kraft
Darin will ich sterben
Damit ich Himmel kennen darf
あなたは、心が美しい
精神が微妙な安らぎで
私を吸い寄せる
脱出するための
意志も力もない
天国を知ることができるように
その中に死にたい
Poor old Mr. Crow slowly walking down the road
you can’t use your wings because you’ve gotten too old
You got blisters on your feet and it gives you the blues
never understood why birds had no shoes
Cars and trucks keep passing you by
throwing dust in your face and making you cry
You hold your head low with broken pride
if only you had thumbs you could hitch a ride
Just hang in there old friend
Life’s journey is just around the bend
You’ll make it to heaven and life will be complete
with a new pair of wings and clouds for those old tired feet

My dads spirits with me
and will be endlessly
been gone, day or so
now being shown the ropes
spiritworld, real as this
no tax, pollution: bliss
my third eye been ringing
dad's been around bringing
his brand of love and joy
like a kid with a new toy
his suffering now over
lucky as a 4 leaf clover
I'm his new telephone exchange
and he's got lots to say
re-united with his family
and now at peace totally
already told me 'abide with me'
sung at the funeral definately
also hes looking forward to
watching all the sport too
footy without falling asleep
and a memory for keeps
wants to watch boxing saturday
in his passing, lots of positivity
Mum cant get head around
dad spirit still is sound
we all have everlasting life
just comes in a different guise
promised Rod no more tears
to accompany my lack of fear
I know dad chose his time
to pass to the next life
nobody watching to fight for
decided to use the exit door
mum wanted to be there last
better she wasnt when passed
still a long way to go
family's a strong one you know
friends being well supportive
navy too, he was devoted
thank you all for sentiments
yesterday my dad 'stormy' heaven sent
aches & pains sever the line.
the train i've been tryin' to ride,
came off the tracks.
so here I am,
i'll just sit back on this dirt ground,
the air is thick with fog, while the sky cries,
there's a blue & black cloud bringin' me down..
money burning all around, while you starve & whine-
out of food now.. without love you've spent too much time.
i'm not a mother fucking slot machine,
so quit shoving in your two, three, four, five cents,
i'll spit it right back out!
while you're at home, feeding your addictions..
greed, alcohol, drugs & sex..
i'll be taking care of all these convictions.
you're not good at fuckin manipulation,
cause in your words I can taste it,
the lies you've coughed out,
fucking corn syrup, cough syrup,
preservatives, fucking sick shit.
disgusting scent, you reek of dishonesty.
I never believed in you, cause you never believed in me.
i'll be gone before you can count to 3..
never again will you see me..
blind, kind, innocent blackness seeping into your mind..
darkness consumes, your night is full of gloom.
into the heavens you cannot see,
because the pits of hell have taken over,
run away, lest it devours me.
sorry I couldn't help you,
the rope you tied around my neck got worn & broke.
so to this i'll take a toke,
the sheets were torn,
your eyes bled melting plastic,
& your heart withered in scorn...
Earth becoming the planet of the disoriented,
Words without life,
Opinions, full of criticism and spite,
Regurgitated from the pit of your sour belly,
With the depth as deep as you choose to roam,
Your personal sea of unvented decay,
Or lackluster expression,
In an endless sea of melancholy and void,
And supressed in the background,
The silent desperate quiver of yesterday's fears,
Guarding it's throne in the fragile story of your life,
Coveting the untold piles of unchartered beauty,
Pages and pages of shining stars hidden between the rancid ones,
Something of a 'Jonnie or Janie be good' trying to sell reprimands,
Displaying a show of exchange,
Shame for wisdom you offer,
Cloaking the truth,
Concealed behind a plastic reality,
Only ever seen by you,
Fluffy and soft through this deception,
We are all the same in this way,
So may hours and days we withered,
In a rigorous frenzy towards our own invention of truth,
As we battle each other to remove the blindfolds
That thwart the ingenuous nature of each of our existences.
We can choose to stop any time we want,
And find our Church within.

Time flies by way too fast
And what was the present’s now the past
And I think how we were back then
The trees whisper your name again
Sing to me sweet memories
Of just how great things used to be
Remind me again what went wrong
To end the time when we’d get along
Laughing and playing in the summer breeze
Jumping in the river from an old tree
I remember how great things were back then
Sing to me sweet memories
Twelve years later at a county fair
Our first date I was so scared
But your hand felt so right in mine
How would I know I’d forget that time?
Our wedding day, and honeymoon
Before long you’re a mother soon
I felt like I was on top then
I wish I could go back again
Sing to me sweet memories
Of just how things used to be
Of how her kiss felt that night
How holding her felt so right
Knowing my son was on the way
Thanking God everyday
I remember how great things were back then
Sing to me sweet memories
Here I sit in a Hospital room
Doctor says it will be soon
Forgotten life for so long
And my body is not so strong
But as I’m leaving, just before I pass
I see my life through the looking glass
And I see my wife once again
I remember how it was back when
Sing to me sweet memories
Of just how things used to be
Kiss my wife every night
Living, loving through my life
Now to Your Son, I’m on my way
Thank You God everyday
For letting me remember how things were back then
Sing to me sweet memories
Sweet memories
This is a revolution
Hear now what the children cry
Wake now from confusion
Your Savior stands in the sky
Your time is fast approaching
Life or loss, the choice is yours
Quickly, now, in this moment
Before time secures its doors
Can’t you see
Can’t you feel
Can’t you tell
The conflict’s real
That we war
For your soul
To leave you empty
Or make you whole
Here He stands while the battle rages
You want to destroy yourself
Give up to the Rock of Ages
Only He saves people from Hell
He calls to let Him save you
He wants to give you life
All He asks is that you believe Him
For your old self give Him the knife
Put to death your old self
Crucify your lusts forever
Bury them, six feet deep
Never to rise, forever to sleep
All this for the love of God
All this for your own sake
All of this to tell others
Veracity from fake
Can’t you see
Can’t you feel
Can’t you tell
The conflict’s real
That we war
For your soul
To leave you empty
Or make you whole
The time is now
The time is here
Why wait now
What do you fear?
