River Disturbance
By day I hear the screams Of a compromising scene Has the wailing wall ridden The waves back through time What kind of idea Has been planted in the mind When stealing babies and killing your folks earns you a spot on Prime time Down we go / one more time / here we go And I ask – is this right? To anyone who would hear Is it something I missed or wasn’t told And life goes on – in Belltown… The needle finds it’s way Into daddy’s arm to stay While the kids are thrown to the night And told to play The sirens sound piercing the night Shots echo’s lead me to the sight A dead body – nothing left – but a proud punk saying this is my life Down we go / one more time / here we go And life goes on – in Belltown… Ring the bells in Belltown / another soul’s thrown away Ring the bells in Belltown / Should we cry or should we pray Ring the bells in Belltown / for the children born today Ring the bells in Belltown / for the price they’ll have to payable Ring the bells in Belltown / another death tonight Ring the bells in Belltown / ask God to make it right

I walk the lonely beach as the sun is setting slowly The wind is blowing a thought comes to my mind Am I laughing or crying I guess I’ll never tell Smile now cry later is what they say, it’s what I thought After I fell After I fell Dancing on the air of a somber theme After I fell Darkest thoughts and concealed pain The time between the wait and sleep A pathway for my open mind to play Immutable acts forever engrafted into memories eye Take me as far as east is from the west Plunge me into your sea of forgetfulness Sea of forgetfulness After I fell Dancing on the air of a somber theme After I fell Darkest thoughts and concealed pain

The heavens can’t contain you / the earth is your footstool From dust I was created / and to it I will return My mind, it cannot fathom / God nailed to a tree My mind is like a raging river / coursing to the sea Now I’m drowning in the River Disturbance Longing to depart Though I’ve grown weary of the River Disturbance You’re calling to my heart There is a shore by the river disturbance There is a place called peace on earth Make it to the shoreline of the river Disturbance Yeah you got to go on under for a second birth I hear you calling me / I hear you in the flood I’m standing here crying out to you / though my voice speaks no words I’ve allowed the rivers fury / to wash away all I have learned Now I’m drowning in the River Disturbance Longing to depart Though I’ve grown weary of the River Disturbance You’re calling to my heart Now I’ve found peace in the River Disturbance You’re calling to my heart

I hear myself say the words, of how life’s unfair It’s come to points where I don’t care Mine eyes have seen failure with no wins Like a story told, by a child who does not know Close your eyes and listen to the words of wisdom from those: Whose innocence has been torn Tales told from days of old of now and then A feeble cry, a tearing eye from now and then No one knows or feels what I feels I keep it hidden away Its come to where I can’t see My spirit’s weak, and my soul is cold Like a story told by a child who does not know Close your eyes and listen to the words of wisdom from those: Who’s innocence was torn Tales from days of old of now and then A feeble cry, a tearing eye from now and Then

I gaze patiently, into a sea of stars Drawing back from childhood fantasies Of living life on Mars From the corner of my eye, I saw a string of Light I turned to see what wasn’t there anymore I felt Your presence in the night Until we see your shadow casting on us once again The light reaches the rim, of a dying earth From a star burned out so long ago Or from a child at birth From the corner of my eye, The Word is clothed in flesh In a world of relativity, life is born from death How can I travel / The speed of light Is it possible to go to heaven or hell I might never know or live to tell The thing I want to know Dead – where do I go A quantum leap out through the galaxies Till I’ve reached my home When will I travel / The speed of Light

(Rapps Galore) Oh what a trip when it comes so swift, drift into a state of tranquility, but it’s my curse of fallacy, flow trails of idiocy, hope gone astray, can’t find it, nope, nope – no relief in the morning, as I wake beggin for a string, cling to the bottom of slumber, the sluggard child hungers for a soul, black this twisting sucking black hole, clipped from the backside, Blindside is my pain, woe and agony, dream catcher, come, I show no strain I tip the unknown I join the same, My picture frame, I can’t get away I can’t let go, I’m slippin’ I’m slippin’ I’m gone – where do we go? A little sleep a little slumber a little folding of the hands to rest (Brimstone) Can you help me seem to feel a little split, and there’s no reasoning, but the light still; I flickering amongst the bricks - Built on the high hopes of man, search for his love but no one understands, waiting for the dawn of change, something simple for the temple, I stand alone without explain keep me in the Darkest staggering in the rain, drowning pain - banging on the ark – something wrong inside but the one who runs the rooms raised the tombs, I can’t find – just another night with my friends, Toss and turn I sleep in the day, I close my eyes the sun burns, gotta find a way before I wither hide and ditch away where do I go? (Militant) Stop, listen to the rage, cause it’s Deliverance with a 12th Tribe pump – pump gauge - Do I move ya back for another fill a dose from the Ghost, can you feel the skills, Puppets being pulled by the master, strings of sorrow getting strummed by the swindler - so don’t let me catch you in a slumber, cause my stuff packed in the chamber – click – click – BOOM!

Following the straight and narrow Reading the signs and arrows Driving away from the games we play From horizons of gray To the light of an endless day I’ve got a road map to heaven And each road is a cross I’ve got a road map to heaven For the blind and the lost I’ve got a road map to heaven – heaven And X marks the spot And there’s a crosswalk Where my life was bought I’ve got a road map to heaven And each road is a cross “drive drive drive He said” “I want to drive drive drive He said” I’ve got a road map to heaven For the blind and the lost

The sands of time are falling The colours are starting to fade I still am not a rich man Like I told you I would be But through it all – you still believe Through it all – you still smile I would leave in the name of love Let the road become my only one You would let me live, while you would die You took my abuse when I should’ve been left You became my sanity when my mind had went If there had been any with a Christ like spirit It was you for me Forgiveness flowed when I’d do you wrong How I wish I could undo it all But through it all – you still smile Well I still don’t have much money But we’ve never been any better I guess what you said 10 years ago is true That our love will last forever When the day has overcome me And we haven’t seen the light for awhile Promise me one thing That through it all – you’ll still smile

Howling she might come / but she still cools you down Destructive she might be / but then she tricks you like some ghostly clown The wind names whoever she wills / haunting me I hear her breathing still I hear her breathing Still And she’s calling / falling over you Now she’s crawling / all over you And inside of you / deep inside of you Wind is calling / wind is calling you I feel the chill of the night / piercing the darkness - cracking the sky Wind is calling / wind is calling you Echoing voices parade in my head / I see nothing left but you The fear is deep and gripping / and strangely tranquilizing She can bring you heaven / or take you down to hell The wind comes on staggering feet / she’ll hand you victory and defeat She’ll calm your restless heart tonight / on her sacred gently flight Wind is calling / wind is calling you Is she a messenger sent from God / blowing away all of our wrongs Wind is calling / wind is calling you The almighty waves his arm / having her attending to all cause Wind is calling / calling your name Echoing voices parade in my head / I feel nothing left but you Echoes / Running through the night / like a ghost in flight / Voices in the restless wind She brings blue beauty or she brings skies of gray She’s a roaring thunder / and she’s a child at play Obeying her master / she’ll loose her breath / on through the heavens and down again Grace me with your presence Wind is calling / wind is calling you I feel the chill of the night / piercing the darkness - cracking the sky Wind is calling / wind is calling you Is she a messenger sent from God / blowing away all of our wrongs Wind is blowing / wind is calling you Echoing voices parade in my head / I feel nothing left but you I hear her breathing still…
