The End
If you are free from the power of darkness
Then you are free from the mouth of Hell
If you take heed at the sound of warning
Then you will see what the prophets tell.
If you believe in an open doorway
You can recieve at the final bell
When we retrieve what was taken from us
We will perceive as though we never fell
'Cause nothing stings like the tongues of men
Filled with poison and bent on the end
Nothing stings like the tongues of men
Filled with poison and bent
Bent on the end , Bent on the end
If you conceive in the flesh endeavors
You will give birth to defile yourself
If we will offer our binds to sever
It will be worth , all the cards we're dealt
Then we can count against our losses
And it will show an even score
And when we kneel, and we take our crosses
Then we can feel , that we are slaves no more
'Cause nothing stings like the tongues of men
Filled with poison and bent on the end
Nothing stings like the tongues of men
Filled with poison and bent
Bent on the end , Bent on the end

Alternative 3
In my room, on the moon, Im looking for the words to write
Another day , in the maze, should I be turning left or right
Why Im here , not so clear, something of the coming race
Bloodline fears and bloodlined tears , I feel them running down my face
Found, living in exile.Lunar bound
Watching the Earthset going down
Write when you can , I'll be around
I sense the fear within your sphere
No talk of flat earth theory here
Write in your own hand, make it clear .I'll be here
I bring to close , my shorthand prose, with best regards and true remorse
Your deep blue face , is showing traces of a promised crimson horse
It does appear , to be I fear, the end, I see your cities burn
With telescope and hold-out hope, I pray and wait for His return
Found, living in exile.Lunar bound
Watching the Earthset going down
Write when you can , I'll be around
I sense the fear within your sphere
Wheels within wheels make no sound here
Write in your own hand, make it clear .I'll be here

Eye Spy
Soaring high above the clouds , never see my face
Sending signs without a sound, I invade your space
Howling like the savage wind,roaming to and fro
To devour a victims feast , but little do they know
Earthbound reach wont bring me down
Lacking tether with the ground
I can touch you through the air
You wont even know I'm there
Trying to avoid my gaze , runner in the race
Minds are groping in the haze, I can track your pace
No use going underground, my vision penetrates
Optic nerves are tightly wound, there is no escape
Earthbound reach wont bring me down
Lacking tether with the ground
I can touch you through the air
You wont even know I'm there
Prying eye, watching from the sky
Feel my stare, I am everywhere
From my throne , amongst the fiery stones
Falling down, I am not alone

STATIONARY TRAVELLER
To make the move I cannot make
Initial step impossible to ever take
An infinite traverse of space
Regressive subdividing units in our way
Xenos laughter in our face
The fastest runner never finishes the race
Worlds getting smaller everyday
We keep the limits of the paradox at bay
So much time wasted on time never tasted
but still there is no other way
Our time consumed by obsessive observance of time
Rainbows gold waiting, its there for the taking
we save it for another day
To break the laws of motion it seems such a victimless crime
Stationary Traveller , Roam the pathways of time
Stationary Traveller , Is it all in our minds
Stationary Traveller ,Can this knot we unwind
Stationary Traveller , Will you be back in time
And in my dreams I cannot run
First person frame ,the world around seems to be spun
Still I can soar towards the sun
All other limits and restrictions are undone
Just like a web I cannot break
The weaver knows that in the end the day is won
Within the story I awake
Only to find another day has just begun
So much time wasted on time never tasted
but still there is no other way
Our time consumed by obsessive observance of time
Rainbows gold waiting, its there for the taking
we save it for another day
To break the laws of motion it seems such a victimless crime
Stationary Traveller , Roam the pathways of time
Stationary Traveller , Is it all in our minds
Stationary Traveller ,Can this knot be unwind
Stationary Traveller , Will you be back in time

Same Chain

Same Chain
Are we aware of the voice thats calling
Are we afraid to take a step in fear of falling
Can we provide resolve for our frustration
In a condition that is lacking vision, I can see
That I cant see
Are we to care for the alone and fallen
Are we to dare to touch and reach & seek the sullen
To bear the burdens of our fellow travelers
And to defend the lives of those who follow after me
So they can see
They say what goes around always comes around
But the same chain thats holding you is the one that had me bound
And those with the ears to hear and the eyes to see
Will be set free, as I am free
Are you aware that your life is fleeting
Our healer here and still we grin and stand there bleeding
Don’t try to tell me that you are not afflicted
You wear the proof of every sin committed
Strikingly , for all to see
They say what goes around always comes around
But the same chain thats holding you is the one that had me bound
And those with the ears to hear and the eyes to see
Will be set free, as I am free

Acropoint
Who may ascend the mountain, who may stand in this holy place
Those that hath hands and hearts pure blameless, that not sworn in disgrace
Shall see my face
These that shall bear away a blessing, righteousness formed in grace.
Ascending space
Harness me to the crags and hide me , hide me in talus waste.
Thrutching toward the utmost zenith, balance perfecting pace
Perfecting pace
Hung by this golden chain ,suspended, pendulum that I am, emerging
Im holding on. From this vantage , I can see the sunrise before the dawn
Im holding on .Trusting the rock our faith is founded on .
Doom may present its challenge, as Im laughing into its face.
Via Ferrata straight and narrow, anchored I run the race.
I run the race
Windswept and weary reach the deadpoint, altitude held embrace
I plead my case
Flat-landers looking on in wonder, not able to relate
Lost in the choss of their own choosing ,forever in waste
Not giving chase
Gazing across the ages,I can see where I made mistakes
In my own haste
Im holding on. From this vantage , I can see the Son rise before the dawn
Im holding on .Trusting the rock our faith is founded on .
Im letting go but I wont fall, within your grasp I hear your call
By letting go I scale these walls, broken by stone on which I fall.

Dont Let Go
Where will I be when you want me
Will I be here or there
Given to dreams that will haunt me
Im always running scared
Call out the name that you gave me
Your neither here nor there
I always knew you could save me
When you are everywhere
You can have me , so take me, and set me free inside
Just like rush of a thousand wings, I hear a voice
coming from below,
Sleep in the hush while the battle rings
In the ears of the ones who know
Shades in the brush while the artist strings
together frames in this living show
Deep cries to deep as my heart still sings
out the chorus. Don’t let go

PLEASANT GREEN
Look beyond the season of fear
You will see it now that summers here
Pleasant Green
Pleasant Green
Listen to the pealing of the bell
and take a drink from the sparkling well
Pleasant Green
Pleasant Green
Vivid is the green that grows beside me
Rocky is the road that rolls behind me
She took me away over the stone wall
Behind a cascade of blue
Cutting through the edge , a silver waterfall
Awakened on a diamond bed of dew
Perceive the spirit moving as He goes
Whence He comes and whither no one knows
Pleasant Green
Pleasant Green
Vivid is the green that grows beside me
Rocky is the road that rolls behind me

The Ripple
I can see the storm thats in your eyes
Illusion clouds confusion in your skies
Questions how are answered by and by
Their science silent when it comes to why
I can see distortion in your lies
Protrusions house delusions in your cries
Orthodoxy strains your pious tries
Take my hand its time to realize
We are the ripple , we are the chain
We are the salt and the light, causal agents of change
We are the ripple, we are the chain
Born of the spirit and washed in the blood and the rain
Sympathizing east of Eden minds
The trap of relativity that binds
Subjective spiral thinking to unwind
We intersect with truth of the divine
I can see the thorn thats in your side
Complacent on the dragons back you ride
But I must choose a course thats true and tried
A pathway to traverse the great divide
We are the ripple , we are the chain
We are the salt and the light, casual agents of change
We are the ripple, we are the chain
Born of the spirit and washed in the blood and the rain

Home Again
Now you see me with the thorn in my side
But I'll be whole again
When you see me with the sun in my eyes
I'll be home again
A mystery , in front of me , unable to decipher
I look ahead , I'm seeing red ,time to pay the piper
The antidote ,stuck in my throat , hanging by a wire
Perfidy, a tragedy, I gaze into the fire
Amidst the dark , and off the mark ,could someone ever reach me
I'm looking up , must I drink this cup ?Can I let it be?
Through the abyss , an Angels' kiss, hits me like a dart
And finally , from eternity , He animates my heart
This very day I'll be with you in paradise
I'll lead you down the corridors of dark and light
As iron sharpens iron will create a spark
Like flint against the steel , the light defeats the dark
Now you see me with the thorn in my side
But I'll be whole again
When you see me with the Son in my eyes
I'll be home again
