Savior King

When I was weak,
You made me strong.
When I went crazy,
You put right what I made wrong.
And in my darkest hour,
You were always there.
With Grace, Hope, and Love,
To you, no one can compare.
You are my Savior King,
To Whom I owe everything,
You are my Savior King,
To Whom I owe everything.

Bella Blue

My heart goes out to you,
My sweet Bella Blue.
I am a father to you,
I hope love always finds you.
I hope your dreams come true,
I know there's faith in you.
I want the best for you,
And your heart to stay true.
I'm always here for you,
In everything that yo do.
I pray for joy for you,
I know that God loves you too-
My Bella Blue.

The Chosen One

Shades of Blue,
In the shadow of the moon.
Crimson red,
Beneath this riverbed.
I'm walking on water,
Dancing on the clouds in the sky.
Dreaming of my lover,
Waiting for the sun to rise.
Stars in the night,
Circling the moonlight.
The universe spins,
'Round and 'round for Him.
I'm waiting for,
The Chosen One.
The miracle Son,
Who loves everyone.
Who sets us free,
For all eternity.
Believe in Him,
And get Born Again.

Filling The Empty Chairs

I got lost running away,
Living the blues, day after day.
I wish I would have known the way,
How To fill that empty chair someday.

The Chairs are mine to fill,
No heart ever will,
Love you with all their soul like me,
These blues of mine has taken it's toll on me.

A gift from above, you entered my life,
Never knowing the meaning of sacrifice,
Or the one that I would have to make someday,
When I first found out that you were on the way.

I will fill those empty chairs someday,
I will never give up finding a way,
To be there for you every day,
With the Lord, our future is on its way.

All things are possible,
The future is here,
No turning back,
Peace and Love is always near.

My Last Song

I poured out my Heart for you,
From the depths of me.
Love, Hate, and Madness,
For all the world to see.
Who I really am,
And what I feel inside.
The whole world knows it,
I have nothing left to hide.
I' a wretch, a lover, and a madman,
Struggling to be faithful and true.
I hate myself for failing,
I hate the pride in my Blues.
I'm a winner, a loser, and a quitter-
At everything I do.
When my life is over,
My lips will be blue,
From the cold of Death-
Haunting my old room.

Remembered

I am free,
Yet imprisoned.
Happy,
Yet despairing.
I'm smiling,
Yet I'm crying.
The face of a clown,
The mind of a monkey.
The walk of a fool,
The mouth of a rambler,
Soon I will be -
Remembered.

Rhymes

All I do is rhyme,
All the time.
Then I whine,
Then I dine.
With my wine,
All the time,
With my rhymes.

Forbidden Fruit

I tasted the fruit, I took a bite;
Flying like an angel in the sky-
I should have known, it was a lie.
That Dragon only wants me to die.
I felt like I failed you again,
Betraying my only friend.
Like Judas, the Devil stole my soul,
I felt like I had no control.
Am I a failure?
I need my Savior!
Am I a failure?
I need a favor!
Keep my soul out of Hell,
'Cause I have my story to tell,
Of how you made all things well-
With my Soul!

Rivers of Mercy

Well the end is near,
The time has come.
To meet our Lord,
Because he's the One;
Who sets us free,
From a life of sin.
All we have to do,
Is let him in.
He is knocking,
At our door.
He is waiting,
To give so much more.
So let's believe in him,
He forgives us for our sins.
He pours out his Mercy,
Like rivers of water.
He pours out his Love,
Like no other.
Life is in Him,
Forever more.
All debts are paid,
He settles the score.

When I'm Alone

When I'm all alone,
I drown my blues away.
When I'm all alone,
I forget about yesterday.
When I'm all alone,
I blame myself anyway,
For all the wrongs I've done,
I wish I could've stayed.
I cry and cry and cry,
Wishing I would die.
I cry and cry and cry,
Praying I don't die.
I cry and cry and cry,
Pleading for my life.
Wanting the pain to end,
This broken heart will live again.
When I'm feeling lonely,
I hear the angels speaking softly,
It's time to take a stand,
Put that guitar in your hand.
And sing these blues away,
For my troubles have gone away.
The past may be broken,
But the Lord is all knowing..
When I'm alone.

Saving Grace

You are Messiah and King
The Lord of all things
Perfect in all of your ways
Light shines from your face
Full of beauty and Grace
We give you thanks and praise
Jesus,
You are the lover of our souls
The one who is in control
Who saves us from evil ways
You are the Merciful King
The God above all things
Author of our saving Grace
You are with us everyday
You are Messiah
You are Mercy
You are Everything
You are Saving Grace

True Love Never Dies

Romeo and Juliet,
A true love we won't forget.
They died in each other's arms,
Victims of magic charms.
They fought until the bitter end,
A letter brought but late it was sent.
Brought Romeo to his death,
Proclaiming his love with his last breath.
True love never dies,
Even when our hearts cry,
From the poison of evil,
From our hearts through the steeples.
Juliet saw death foretold,
When Romeo's love was bold.
Their hearts never grew cold,
Even when death took it's toll.

For You

You have a place,
Deep in my heart.
You have a hold,
Over my soul.
There is a fire,
Deep inside.
And it burns,
Out of control....For you.
For you,
I would climb the highest mountain.
For you,
I would break the chains that bind you.
For you,
I would give my one last breath.
And if you're lost,
I would search the world to find you.
And if the darkness closes in,
I would light the fire deep within-
For you.

Open For You

The disappointment in your voice,
Rips through my heart.
The silence in your words-
It's not your fault.
It's my failures,
That let you down,
Even when I feel happy,
I cause you to frown.
I'm so sorry,
For not being there.
I cry out from my heart,
Just how much I care.
Please forgive me,
For the man I'm not.
Please love me,
With everything you've got.
The door of my heart,
Is open for you.

Perfect Dream

I dreamed a perfect dream for you
My heart was always there for you,
Then my tears were so blue,
Then I died inside for you.
The pain I had drove me insane,
I tried to drown in the rain,
Ripping pieces from my brain,
Memories that caused the pain-
But another day dawns,
And it gets better everyday.
Farther from the times,
When evil had it's way.
If I could turn back time,
If I could find a way,
To make each day,
Perfectly stay...
In that Perfect Dream.

For My Paw

Here's some country for my Paw,
To remind him in a song.
Of some Johnny and Hank,
You can take that to the bank.
The roots in these blues,
Fill his country shoes.
Gotta follow with some Elvis,
A little rock-n-roll to help us....
We remember all the good times,
And give thanks to the Lord,
For our Lives.

Your Embrace

It fills me completely,
When your love is so sweetly,
Placed upon my heart,
With your love's embrace.
I know I need it now,
After the times I went without,
When I was full of doubt,
Of your Love's embrace.
And I can see it in your eyes,
As the tears fill up mine,
I wish I could stop time,
And live in these moments of mine.
Whenever your love covers me...
With your embrace.

Dead Man Walking

I should have been dead,
A long time ago.
Yet I abide,
Beneath the shadow-
Of the wings of an angel,
Who brought me back to life.
Each day I take a breath,
Gives Glory to the author of life.

Bestowed

I write and I write,
Yet nothing seems right.
I sing and I sing,
Yet, is it a vain thing?
The deeper I go,
The more of me shows.
That I am truly blind,
To the Blessings bestowed.

?

What is sanity?
Amidst this vanity.
What is this pain?
In the healing rain.

End Of The Age

If you water a flower with acid,
It will die away.
If you raise up a generation in hate,
Will they fly away?
Like a bird leaving it's nest,
Never to return.
Oh the world reaps,
And soon it will burn.

Nine Lives

Oh this feeling, this feeling-
All it is, is a feeling.
No truth, but a lie,
That for some have died.
As I've done,
Many times before.
Yet, I still live,
How many times more?

Duality

I used to love myself,
Now I hate myself.
Not for what I was,
But for what I have become.
Although the eye can see,
The fake part of me.
If I gave you a knife,
Would you take my life?

Life Line

The comfort from above,
Overwhelms me from above.
In my darkest hours,
God sends me flowers.
When I think that hope is gone,
And I expect it to end,
There he goes again,
Another angel he sends.
To Rescue me,
From myself.
Why do I do?
All the things I do.

Shackled

I believe in light,
But I hide in the dark,
Like a scared child,
Left out in the wild.
I feel so all alone,
I feel like a clone.
Some kind of drone,
That keeps me alone.
What have they done to me?
What is it that I can't see?
I shacked myself in chains,
To hide others from my pain.

Reaching For The End

Up and down,
And back again.
Never knowing,
When this is gonna end.
I numb my thoughts,
And pour out my words.
Feeling like nothing,
Could ever change my world.
An empty house,
I filled with despair,
Crushing all the love,
So I wouldn't care.
Waiting for the feeling,
The groove settles in.
Soon I'll start my journey,
Reaching for the End.

Treading Water

I can feel this river boat,
Sinkin' as I cross this moat.
Headed for this castle of Death,
Praying for one last breath.
I reach the riverside,
With my life not far behind.
Treading these waters...
Swimming towards eternity.
Swaying side to side,
My life before my eyes.
Flashing before it's time,
For me to say goodbye.

Mirror Of My Soul

Another night,
Another dream,
I've been here before,
oh so it seems,
Deja vu?
Dead man's stare,
I hold a candle close,
So you can stare,
Through the glare,
Of the light in my eyes.
What do you see?
A reflection of you on me.
Keep your mirror glance,
I don't want the chance,
Or you corrupting my beauty,
Through the mirror on the wall...
Of my Soul.

When The Lights Go Out

What would you so,
if it were dark?
Would you cry like a child,
Or go so wild?
Like a madman,
Searching through the night,
Reaching for any glimmer of light.
Holding on to the hope inside,
Thinking silently,
How did I die?

A Poet

A poet and my stories,
Fact and fiction both liked.
I feel I have a voice,
Whether or not I am liked.

Called

I was called to preach "The Word,"
The I became absurd.
Falling into every trap,
With a bulls-eye on my back.
I've been choked in my sleep,
By spirit beings I could see.
They would sparkle in the dark,
Then, as I whispered "Jesus",
They would depart.
I've been haunted in my dreams,
I've levitated in my bed it seems,
I've been scared all of my life,
Of the truth beneath the lies.
Still, I believe in God,
I have comfort in his Staff and Rod.
What we see is only a part,
Of a bigger puzzle-
That's been there from the start.

Delusions of Grandeur

I called myself "The Father",
I called myself "The Son".
I thought I was being worshiped,
As I stood in that Church.
With my arms lifted high,
My thoughts caught in a lie,
I'm lucky to be alive-
I died so many times.

Bag Of Bones

I saw a face in the sky,

That mirrored me.

I heard him talk,

So pleasantly.

Then he hid himself,

Where I couldn't see,

Yet still revealing his words,

And talking invisibly.

Telling me I was the "One,"

The only begotten Son.

What a fool I was to believe,

What my mind had seen.

It all seemed so real,

Yet it made me feel,

Like I was so old,

And my existence foretold.

Now I plainly see, 

That he still creeps around me,

Waiting for me to be alone,

So he can torment-

This Bag of Bones.

In The Water

Wading in the water-
Of time, precious time.
Looking back, here, and there;
How could I not despair.
Treading on the water-
Of life , O precious life.
Wondering how we die,
When so many times-
I was kept alive...
We drown.

Table For One

Floating down this bayou,
That's filled with my blood.
To a lonesome island,
With a table for one.
I light the fires in the dark,
I lay the stones beneath the arc.
I dig my grave this fateful night,
I lay my head beneath the moonlight.
I saved a penny for your thoughts,
While you wrote down your remarks.
About who I am to be,
And why this has happened to me.
So I cry again for you,
Because I know you love me too.
This heart won't stop breaking,
Now my life is yours for the taking.

Silent Cry

The shadows on the wall,

Cry out a silent cry,

For all of those innocent lives,

For all of those who died.

The atoms in the air,

Split and brought despair.

The thunder in the night,

Brings the darkest light.

Can you hear,

The mothers weeping?

Can you see,

Souls that are fleeting?

The blood is on our hands,

Of all those seeking,

Shelter from the war,

That is reaping.

We have become death,

The destroyer of worlds.

The blood in the ground,

Cries out a silent sound...

Of Innocence.

My Love Returns

My Heart cries out in my sleep,
My dreams are journey's that I keep.
In my love's castle is where I sleep,
For the years I've missed her I do weep.
She way "Watch me dance,
watch me dance in circles"
She says "My heart's for you,
My heart's for you so smile."
She returns from her travels tonight,
Her eyes are so blue and so bright.
She wraps her arms around me so tight,
With a smile she kisses me goodnight.
My Love Returns...

Transfiguration

Transfiguration...
His two prophets appeared,
The one who split the waters.
And the one who called down the fire,
Then a bright cloud appeared.
The voice of the Father,
Said "This is my Son,
In whom I am well pleased."
O' hear him, O' hear him...
His face is shining like the sun,
His garment is as white as light.
They fell to the ground,
Humbled, not proud.
Face to the dirt,
Shaken, but not hurt.
Transfiguration...

Angel Of Death

The blood covered the doors,
The blood covered their souls,
The land was plagued again,
The Angel of Death appeared for him.
And yet a hardened heart,
Kept an empire torn apart
Until freedom was pure
And the chosen secure.
The Angel of Death,
Appeared that night.
The Angel of Death,
Took the firstborn lives.
He appeared in the night,
In the sky he flies.
He's coming for you,
But, you've got the Blood.

Broken Again

A mended heart,

That had been healed.

The time it took,

To be revealed.

A love so pure,

It hid beneath,

The shadow of,

A White Dove's Wing

I broke it again,

With a cold, cold heart.

I broke it again,

I watched it crumble apart.

I watched the day,

Pass on by.

Wondering always why?

My heart broke as I cried.

I missed the chance,

For love again.

I took for granted,

My best friend.

Nobody

I ain't botherin' nobody,
So just leave me alone.
I ain't got nobody,
To leave me alone
Pay no mind,
To this mad guitar in my mind.
Help me find,
A way to come back home-
So I won't be all alone.
I won't bother nobody,
When I'm dead and gone.
Pay no mind,
To the wild pen in my hand.
The words I find,
To make insanity sound like a friend-
'Cause he's always at home.
I ain't botherin' nobody
So just leave me alone-
So I can just go on home.

The Masquerader

He was perfect in all his ways
Until pride cast him into sin.
As he fell, that bright son of dawn,
He caused the fall and soon will be gone.
He appears as an angel of light,
He can see your darkest frights
That lion, he stalks his prey,
But he will burn in Hell someday.
Watch with your eyes,
Don't be drawn away by that light,
That shines for all the world to see,
Delusion won't overtake me.
The Masquerader....
He puts his mask on,
Searching for his next pawn.
Don't let him steal your life,
The King above can step in, alright.
Take his glory,
Take his fame.
Don't let that dragon,
Put you to shame.

Lady Of Fatima

This Lady has some secrets,
The first a vision of hell,
The second a warning of war,
The third a vision of death.
She calls all to her immaculate heart,
She calls for peace and unity.
She's in the image of the Blessed Mother,
She appears here and there like no other.
Amidst the shadow of death,
The Vicar proclaims she saved his life,
He says she stayed by his side,
Now her crown is where the bullet resides.
She warns of death,
She warns of judgement,
She warns of war,
And she comes in peace....
Lady Of Fatima...
She comes in peace,
All dressed in white,
She appears for love,
And is full of light.

Weeping Blood

And she appears there,
All dressed in white.
Is this a sign of truth?
Or a sign of the times?
And the tears fall...
And the blood falls...
Do you see her weeping?
Do you see them kneeling?
Do you hear her calling?
Do yo know why she's crying?
She's Weeping Blood...

To Be Or Not To Be?

A war is coming...
Do you believe what your eyes can see?
Or is this just another reality?
It's time for the truth to be told.
What God of your heart do you uphold?
And the spirits are all around,
Some of us are lost and some are found.
Can you tell Heaven from Hell?
Can you tell the truth from a spell?
To be or not to be deceived?
Do you ever question what you believe?
Have you found the truth among the lies?
Buried deep like a treasure, don't compromise.
A war is coming..
The end is near.

The Smile

I can feel your love,
Even when you're not here.
I can hear it in your voice,
The smile that hides the fear.
Hot and cold it seems to be,
This heart changing inside of me.
Everyday is love or pain,
Nothing will ever be the same.
Can we heal this broken love,
With a miracle from above?
Hope is such a precious thing,
Within it, lies everything.
My dreams, my love, my fears,
Through all of these, are my tears-
For you.

The Door Of My Heart

So now you want my heart,
After you tore it apart.
So now you want my love,
Like an angel sent from above.
Should I open the door,
and let you back in?
When I tried so hard,
To be with you again.
And when you told me no,
My heart had no place to go-
Nothing to complete that part,
Of the true love we had at the start.
Like salt upon my wounds,
I cried and cried for you.
Now that the scars have healed,
What am I supposed to do?

Saying Goodbye

It's so hard to say goodbye,

Through the tears that we cry.

To someone we love so deep,

To someone we want to keep.

We will meet again, 

We don't know how or when,

But the hope in our hearts,

Will never keep us apart.

We remember the love,

That burns in our hearts,

We forget all the pain,

That keeps us apart.

To Say Goodbye

If I had to say goodbye,
I'd say it with a smile.
'Cause I've lived all I could,
And went the extra mile.

I Cried The Love Out of Me

Ready to give up,
Nobody understands,
The truth is a hard thing,
When you know not what it is.
Waiting for that train to Heaven,
Sitting here with my ticket-
At the rest stop near hell.
Why oh, why do I fall?
I say I have it all.
Yet I feel fake but free-
'Cause I cried all the love out of me.

Armageddon

Armageddon...

Wouldn't I look good,
With a fist full of blood?
Wouldn't you look nice?
You'll never think twice.
Of what,
Vengeance could be.
Or what,
You will see...

Wouldn't you look fine,
Now that you are mine?
Wouldn't you hear me,
Calling you to the sea?
To join me,
Again and again-
For what you began...

A fist full of blood,
Is all I see.
Dead bodies,
Around Me.
Dripping,
From my hands.
Vengeance,
Is upon this land.

A fist full of blood...
Armageddon.

My Shadow

I tell this tale,
From deep within.
A roaring demon,
Jumped out of my skin.
It scared the life,
Back into me,
It followed again,
With pain and misery.

There's a shadow stalking me,
Where only my eyes can see.
It hides behind every unlocked door,
I am gonna settle the score.

Hatred I have,
For every evil thing.
Yet I find,
Sometimes I sing.
Of the things I hate,
But some adore.
I'm trying to hide,
But still there is more, to life...

Why, O Lord, does it chase me?
Why, O Lord, did it overtake me?

Open Your Eyes

Have you ever thought,
What hides in the dark?
Have you ever seen,
What makes you bleed?
Have you ever known,
How far not to go?
Have you ever believed,
Or have you been deceived?
Open your eyes,
See in the night.
Open your eyes,
There is always light.
Even in the dark,
There is always light.

This Lonesome Night

Sitting beneath the porch light,
Waiting for the torchlight,
To send this fire to the moon.
Steady as the moonbeams,
Frailty has it's own dreams,
Sometimes the sun rises to soon.
But we light up the dark,
Like a firecracker spark,
An explosion of light,
Fills this lonesome night.

Laying My Heart Down

When you come knocking at my door,
I hope you find me on the floor...
Laying it down, now.
I'm laying my heart down to you,
I'm bowing my knee down to you.
'Cause I love, my Lord...

Since You've Been Gone

I've seen the best part of me wither away,
I've seen the heart in me slip away.

Since you've been gone,
A new day has dawned,
Upon my soul.
Since you've been gone,
I waited so long,
Out in the cold.

I've seen my train pass me by,
All I can do is hang my head and cry.

Regeneration

The future is in the past if you can see,
There is another generation yet to be.
When we are immortal and set free,
Death and the grave will no longer be.
Like angels we will live in eternity,
The Love Supreme will always be.
The generation of regeneration,
Building the temples from our imagination.
The generation of regeneration,
Our creation to our creation.

Bury The Pain

Have you ever stared,
Deep within yourself,
And found someone else?
Have you ever tried,
Prying into your eyes,
And finding only lies?
Sometimes I see,
A beast within me,
That I'm trying to set free.
Sometimes I fear,
I'm not alone in here,
I can only shed more tears.
Bury the pain,
Don't go insane,
Don't ever place the blame.

Sons of Thunder

Here we are,
The Sons of Thunder.
To wake the souls,
Of all who slumber.
A patient heart,
Once I had.
Now I cry out,
Like any who's mad.
All I ever wanted was true love,
A sign from Heaven and a gift from above.
We're the Sons of Thunder-
Hear the Thunder Roll...

Survival of the Fittest

One night I was walking through a graveyard,
I sang to the bones "rise up again".
To my surprise, I was caught up in my mind,
When does this Gospel I read all begin?
Why be consumed with death?
When there is so much life.
Why let your heart grow cold?
When you are called to survive.
Walking a thin line between Heaven and Hell,
My God has given me all of these stories to tell.
If you play with fire you can get burned,
I ain't no monkey, I'm a child of God returned.
Keep your guard up,
Death is stalking you.
Like a lion he waits,
To devour all of you.

She Waits For Me

Dancing in the night,
I can hear her darkest fright.
Under the pale moon.
Where she'll be there, soon.
In her lover's arms,
I'll keep her safe and warm.
And when the ghost delight,
I'll be there in the night.
And she waits for me...
In that summer night.

Pressing On

I've seen days dark and few,
Where love was gone and I was a fool.
No longer will I bow again,
To the serpent who said he was a friend.

I'm pressing on,
Now that my heart's right.
I'm pressing on,
Until the day I take flight.

Those bittersweet memories,
Will soon vanish away.
Those nights of misery,
When all I could do was cry.
I'm pressing on....
Until the end.

Dear Peter

I met a man while fishing one day,
I said to him while you can, throw your nets this way.
Take your life and toss it by the wayside,
There is life in every word that I abide.
Holy fire,
I will give to you.
Holy fire,
In everything you do.
Your mission is that of love,
Revealed to you from God above.
After I rose from the grave,
I gave my life so all can be saved
The tongue of fire rested on his head
He was given words that some did not understand.
Heal the sick,
Raise the dead.
As I bruise that devil,
On his head.
.

Feed Your Soul

Your treasure may be gold,
But my treasure is dirt.
The burden you put upon my back,
Has torn a hole in this shirt.

That leads,
Straight to the heart.
That needs,
A brand new start.

As I drive faster and faster
And the speed of thought is pure light
I try and avoid this disaster,
And block out all the lies.

I feed your soul from my veins,
My blood will not drive you insane.

When I'm Done

When the party's over,
And the music has gone home.
I can't help but feeling,
All alone.
When the morning sun,
Shines through the window.
And I lay my weary head,
Upon my pillow.
I cry and cry and cry,
Thinking I would die.
Hoping for a new day,
When I'm not afraid, anymore.
So many things left to say,
So many reasons I should stay.
I think my hour has come,
My Lord tells me I'm done.
I ran through this life,
Like a train off it's track.
I can see the tunnel of light,
And there's no turning back.
I cry and cry and cry,
knowing I would die.
Starting on that new day,
Now I'm not afraid, anymore.

One More Dance

I may be down,
But not defeated
On the ground,
With my heart bleedin'.
Crying out,
For another chance.
Crying out,
For one more dance.
As I sing to you,
I open up my soul,
And cry out,
From this broken heart,
That needs another start.
This wounded soul,
Lost all control.
Forgive me, my love.
Pull the knife,
From my heart,
And stop the bleedin'.

Deadboy

Deadboy,
They'll never be,
Another one who dreams like you.
Deadboy,
I'll never be,
A devil in disguise to you.
I can't sleep,
When I think of you.
Nightmare screams,
That haunt me too.
I can't sleep,
Since I met you.
The devil inside,
Came out of me,
As I screamed...
The rage I had,
I should have been dead.
I was blind to see,
The white plastic soul,
In front of me.

The Sign

Down in the hole under the water,
Lies that king snake's burnt father.
A place where the bayou bends,
A place where the blues begins.
The sign at the end of the road,
Says you've reached the end of the world
Die, serpent, die.
Die, dragon, die.

Snake Bitten

I was snake bitten...

Forgetting myself again.

That poisoned fruit,

Crept into my veins,

Drove me insane,

Whose to blame?

Belly of the snake,

Filled with men's bones,

You can hear them moan,

Like rattles of a chain.

Broken From The Start

I sit here alone 

By the telephone

My soul awaits

until my spirit breaks...

I've stayed up at night

I've cried and I've cried

I've wanted to die

But still my spirit waits...

Longing for the touch of your hand

Dreaming of my time to make a stand

Hoping for a new start with your heart

Knowing we've been broken from the start

Building A Temple

When the Blessed One came,
I was only to blame,
For the wretchedness,
In my soul.
I heard him proclaim,
Victory, no shame,
For the Forgiveness,
Of my soul.
I'm Building a Temple,
In my Heart.
For Him to dwell,
That's where it starts.

Drowning Her Misery

She comes into the room with a heart of misery

I light my cigarette as she walks up to me

I look into her eyes and see her black soul

I kiss her on the lips like fire on the coals

I look into her eyes again and see

A heart of gold that drowned that misery

A life of pain is all she ever knew

Rolling through this rock as I sing her these blues

She smiles so sweet when we first meet

Now she has a soul and we are complete

The fire I gave her burns deep inside

She has no more fear and no longer has to hide

Drowning Her Misery

With the Fire Inside of Me

 

Black Dawn Rising

Down the Bayou I start to get away,
The devil has turned his wrath on me today.
The black dawn rises for me today,
He spent two dollars to have me blown away.
I jump right in,
Let this tango begin.
How far to go,
To the Gulf of Mexico.
By Midnight it seems,
I got away clean.
That black dawn rises
When I start again
Black Dawn Rising...

Blood In The Bayou

The cool wind blows across the bayou tonight
The sunlit moon cast her glow across this night
Shadows of spirits roaming amidst the mass
The fog settles as the tide of blood moves in

Roux-Ga-Roux
I can hear you sing these blues
Roux-Ga-Roux

Howl tonight on this blood bayou
Transform your dance under the stars
I see your black soul in the scar's of their hearts
You pulled them in the cold water below
Filling this bayou with blood as you go
I

Found My Heart

I lost my heart on an open road
Then you found it for me
You make you own luck
So I been told
I've been gone way too long
Can you find me so far away?
I sing a song since you've been gone
Can you hear me so far away?
My heart fell into the dirt
And then you found it for me

The Shining Son

When all there's left is a dim memory

When Babylon falls and all are in misery

There's nothing left but dust and air

The world's light can't compare

To the shining son

The only one

Whoever is and was

And yet still to come

Haunting My Heart

Such a trivial thing
Such a burden to sing
The weight of your love
Upon my weary shoulders
Trapped inside
This ghost of a mind
Looking for the evening sun
Praying that the day is done
Inside the blues
I will try not to lose
Your heart again

Black Moon Rising

Way down here on the Bayou

The bones of the wretched dance

When will you learn

That drinking blood is a sweet romance

Haunting the streets of New Orleans

Under the Midnight Black Moon

Eclipse my heart again

As the Howlin' Wolf begins to swoon

Mississippi Gost Queen 

Callin' all her riders

Black Moon Risin'

So light the fires...
Black Moon Risin' tonight

Letting Go

I'm letting go
Of the dream I once had
I'm letting go
Of the hopes in my head
I'm letting go
It's better left unsaid

I'm not the man I used to be
But still I feel this guilt in me
I broke your heart many time before
Now it's time to close that door

My Golden One

Like a sunset in a morning moon rise
I see the beauty in your eyes
Brought back from the depths of pain
You were content to be insane

Arise my Golden one
Let's see your beauty like the sun
Shining for all the world to see
Without ever turning back on me

Scars on your heart from the dagger is done
Into the sunset the morning's gone
Wounded so many times
How I've cried from all the world's lies.

New Dimension

Out of my mind
And into your head
Visions of chaos
You'd wish you were dead instead

Crawling on the floor
Some death forseen
They will yell and scream
Join us the war is not a dream

The light will pierce the darkness
The pure will rise again
The strong will ride with him
Faith will bring you to.....
A New Dimension

Close your eyes and see the light
Through your spiritual eyes

Graveyard Blues

All I want for you and me
Is unity in our souls tonight

Dressed in black and white
The man in black and the ghost in white

All she had had was love in her heart
They had a fateful start
Then the end came
Then the blues came
Put flowers on my grave

All she wants wants is for you to be free
So be free as can be

I sing those graveyard blues
In my blue suede shoes
I sing those graveyard blues
In my pitch black suit
A little JR and the King
From my soul I sing

I got these graveyard blues again
I know I'll be raised up again

You and Me, Unity
In the graveyard blues tonight

Can You Hear Me ?

The masses are cryin' out,

For someone to bring 'em out,

From this mental slavery,

To free them from the adversaries.

Can you hear me callin'?

Callin' out your name.

I cry out to you,

Get up on your feet.

Fight for your freedom.

Take a stand, against the man,

And show 'em what you mean.

All I Want

All you want,
All I need...
Is to be free,
Free indeed.

Would you send flowers to my grave?
Would you free me if I were a slave?
Would you lock me up or let me go?
Let's get our fix and get on with the show.

Show 'em it's alright, tonight...
All I want...

Where Do We Go From Here?

Tell me my love,
Where do we go from here?
Tell me my love,
Does your black heart even care?

Ridin' that train,
Then it came to a halt.
Ridin' that train,
Buying the ticket was my fault.

Now I'm at the station,
Should I go left or right?
Northbound or southbound,
I think I'll just take a flight...

Down to New Orleans,
'Cause Bayou Blood is in my veins.

Stop Dragging Me Down

Ya know I gotta quit you baby,
'Cause all you do is drag me down.

Ya know I gotta quit you baby,
'Cause all you do is roam around down.

You took every piece of my heart,
And danced like a sweet romance.
But then you cut me like a knife,
Now I gotta hole in my soul for life,
and I just wanna die...

Stop dragging me down,
And throwing my heart to the ground.

I just got one more thing to say,
Stop throwing my heart away.

Castles Of Time

Floating down the castles of time,
With Angels wings we press on.

Get your groove on,
Get your groove on,
Blue suede shoes on,
Before you're gone.

I know that there's stars in your eyes,
The moon above it shines on.

Let your loving heart,
Be filled with loving light.
Let your loving light,
Be filled with loving heart.

Groove Dancer

She's a groove dancer,
She's a romancer,
She's out tonight
To show me the way.
When you see her in the dark,
She lights up like a spark
Entering your dreams,
Lovely as it seems.
She's alright...
Shake it downtown...
Tonight yeah.

The Blade Of A Sword

Through this darkness when I roam,
I know it's a long way from home.
I hear the ring of the telephone,
I answer the call but no one is home.
This anger in my heart,
Was there from the start.
Hatred rooted in fear,
At least my conscience is clear.
Can you feel the pain,
Running through these veins.
A broken heart hurts more,
Like any blade of a sword.

The Invisible World

I'm right back where I began,

The former me is now a man.

A fresh start or a detour,

I try to see, but I'm not sure.

A crossroad in my life

Should I go left or to the right?

A cross road in my life,

Better be in before midnight.

Flash backs start again I see,

Visions of spirits all around me.

I know the Truth is real,

Now I can see and feel,

The Invisible World...

My Last Stand

I'm gonna sing,
Like it's my last song.
I'm gonna live,
Like there's nothing wrong.
I'm gonna fight,
Like it's my last chance.
I'm gonna win,
Then I'm gonna dance.

I'm gonna give,
All I've got.
I'm gonna believe,
Whether or not,
You see me,
For who I am.
I'm gonna make a stand,
For the life of this man.

Chasing A Dream

When hope is all I have,
When my love still holds on.
To something I'll never have,
'Cause your heart is gone.
I can only dream about tomorrow,
And forget yesterday.
I'm releasing all my sorrows,
For letting our love slip away.
I remember the good times,
And forget about the bad.
Like listening to the wind chimes,
And hearing a song I never had (before).
Forever chasing a dream,
Forever hoping it seems.
My heart belongs with you,
Or forever singing these blues.

Cries From The Deep

As this madness slowly breaks,

I can see the light of day.

As the willow begins to weep,

I can lay my soul to sleep.

The sun is fallin',

The skies are callin'...out my name.

The moon is risin',

This groom is cryin'...out of shame.

As my heart cries from the Deep,

The love I gave is the love I keep.

The shadows haunt me everyday,

Still, I fall on my knees and pray.

Can you hear my cries from the Deep?

Field of Blood

Have I been a Judas to your heart?
A kiss of betrayal from the start?
The blood on my hands floods this field,
But my soul tells me our love is real.
Can you forgive this broken man?
It only seems to be quicksand.
My love for you is so true,
But my heart is always singing the blues.
I crucified your loving soul,
Driving the nails in with my words.
I sent my love in poems but no one heard,
Now I will hang my head low, until I'm dead.
