Song Lyrics/Poems

Hi, just like to share a few old song lyrics that I've written over the years.

They sound a lot better and make more sense with the music, but it's nice just to be able to share anyway.

Started doing them around 94'

World Gone By

See the lights on the horizon
Fading by day
Final journey from this place and now I'm on my way
Sometimes your still there
Sending me signs
I faded from light to dark
When you left me behind

And the world fell down on me
From where it becomes deadly
Cause a faint cry reminds
Me of an age gone by

And the world fell down on me
From where it becomes deadly
Cause a faint cry reminds
Me of an age gone by

This song after watching the film "They live"

Listing in a dangerous sea
Not tender waves caressing
Through the violence of their dreams are
Money matters pressing

A little train heads through the main
Far away from home
A tiny man, a barren land
A journey all alone

Chourus
As the time grows near
The enemy is here
As the time grows near
The enemy is here

Hiding in a secret chamber
Living off our bones
A whisperer in the ear
To the ones they own

As the time grows near
The enemy is here
As the time grows near
The enemy is here

They live today...
They live today...

Century

If they took a healers hand
To help them through this land
What would they do if
That day never came again

If I saw this world anew
Where nothing was split in two
Then how could I feel
Hatred or anger or pain

Chorus
So dear, so dear
The things that have gone away
And with all the riches
Can we replace them again

The fear, the fear
The people they look the same
And now they are going
Faster and faster insane

There always seams to be
Someone after me
Anonymous bullet fired from a little
Black gun
For thousands of miles if flew
It's target I never knew
But there will forever be, someone free
On the run

Story of the damned

Where do the tears come from?
They're falling on the drum
Many a tale untold
There in the light that's cold

When will it be
When it's time to rise again tomorrow
Don't keep a hold
On the floor that's for the dammed
They're hurting me with their eyes
That burn so cold and hollow
They want to rule in
The story of the dammed

If there could be
Something good in this world
Then I will follow
Not keep a hold
On the floor that's for the dammed
They're hurting me with their eyes
That burn So cold and hollow
They want the glory, the glory
Of the dammed

Save him brother

Who's they?
Let em know it's not okay
Loose hounds roam around
In the Shepherds town

Come the day
We had to be free
From the bad place
That just led to the sea

But it was ten to one
And blinded by the setting sun
We slipped away and then
Broke into a run

Who's there?
Something told me to beware
We reached the last outpost
Last before the unknown

Save him brother..
Save him brother..

These after reading the C's from around ten years ago ish, last one more recent around 5 years, have changed a couple of words as they were too grim lol

In my dreams

It's not the winter cold that feels so mean
The liar that has whisperd in my dreams

Chorus
An enemy so old that he had seen
Our every desire
An enemy so cold there he has been
There in the mind

A story that is old and it is real
A story once it's told how do you feel
He tempted us with gold to this they kneel
Now we're living in the hell that he made real

Chorus
An enemy so old that he has dreamed our every empire
An enemy that so cold there he has been
There throughout time
But the melody I know that she gave me
Is there in my mind
And the remedy I know
There it will be
At the right time

Nursery Rhyme

Nursery Rhyme I sing to you low
Melody sad on the piano
Something is laughing down in the hole
This life ain't the only life I know

Nursery rhyme I sing to you low
Cradle will rock the storm it will blow
Baby he's crying, down he will go
This life ain't the only we know

Painted horses groan
Broken fairground moves so slow
Shadow of time's a spell that
Kept us on the carousel

Painted horses slow
Not much longer can they go
As in time we'll break the spell
That kept us on the carousel

This poems about how helpless I feel about what is going on and how many people are suffering and in desperate need, and how I'm trying to deal with it or find some kind of inner peace.

If I cannot help in real time

Then I try to give back in my mind

Like whenever sitting down to a meal

Or taking remedies that help me heal

I imagine thousands of eagles

Flying carrying food to all those who need

Through the winding dark roads of our cities and countries

To all those who may be deprived

Flying through the night to

The war zones where they struggle to survive

Helping all those who ask

Wherever they may be

Maybe it's shelter

It could be a new home

Or it could be comfort to those

Who feel so alone

And these ideas aren't mine they are just borrowed

It helps me to heal the pain and sorrow

Just feel like the concept of trying to share

When i receive something as it
Just seams fair

The eagles still flying

To I don't know where

They're carrying food like

Kind of a prayer

Or fuel for fire

Bricks wood and stone

For those who may need a new home

They reach their destination

No matter how long it takes

And behind them are soldiers

Lighting the way

Each step they March forward

They leave in their wake

A song that is singing

A song that we pray

A land blessed with healing

With love and much brighter

With each step they take

The way is made lighter
