Blood & Fire

It’s a mystery to me
Why more people just don’t see
Where you gonna take yourself without love
How you gonna work it all out?
Can you leave it all behind
Take the road that does not wind
Empty pockets tend to make it hard
Are you gonna do without?
Chorus:
When you feel your faith has fallen
And you don’t know just what you’re fighting for
Don’t forget the blood and fire knockin’ at your door
Focus in on your distractions
And eliminate attraction
What you gonna find when you pull that curtain back
Are you gonna run and hide
Chorus
Is your mind so full of questions
That you can not find direction
There are many more roads than you see
Forget the path of the meek
All the things you must concede
When the world goes half the speed
Will be hanging heavy, you got to let it go
Find the silence you seek

After All
05:41

Grab that 12 ounce tightly
Try to supercharge your life
But its hard to find salvation
With both hands on the knife
You second that emotion
As it’s pulsing through your veins
Like a siren in the distance
Driving you insane
CHORUS:
It doesn’t make much difference
How you break your fall
Doesn’t matter what they tell you
Everyone will learn to crawl, after all
Always wanted something better
But that don’t make it right
Its been going on for miles and miles
Night after night
You don’t heed the warnings
No you never saw the signs
Racing for the 100th hour
For the borderline
CHORUS
Now that all of your lovers
Have gone and left you alone
Just who will you be calling
Who will pick up your phone
As the time goes silent
And the walls are closing in
You’ll have moments of reflection
To cover up your sin

Manifesto

I don’t want to be a pauper, can’t afford to be the king
And the longer that I’m living, I realize I don’t know a goddamn thing about life and what it takes to get ahead
All I want from you people, is to remember what I said
Don’t know much about religion and the promises they make
And the longer that I’m living I realize I’m waiting
for my big break in life, I’m just trying to get ahead
All I want from you people, is to remember what I said
How long will you wander this world
empty suitcase in your hand
Searching for a place you can stop and take a stand
Take another drink of wine, everything will be just fine
Don’t put your hope in those false idols
they will carry you away
I’ve got all of these distractions, tearing me apart
And the longer that I’m living I realize I have to
be smart about my life and the voices in my head
All I want from you people, is to remember what I said

Reckoning Day

Meet me at the bottom of the hill
Be ready for a battle of wills
Bring out your brother and you might need your mother
I’ll see you at the bottom of the hill
You’ll be in for the fight of your life
I’ll be coming at you like a switchblade knife
You’re doing more harm with your sidewalk charm
You’re in for the fight of your life
CHORUS:
Don’t say you love me, no not again
Walkin around town with that shit eatin grin
It’s not revenge, no it’s reckoning day
I’ve been waiting for the time to pass
Now my biggest fear is how long will it last
My world has been spinning from the very beginning
I’ve been waiting for the time to pass
I’ll see you at the end of the world
Where the fury of hell will unfurl
Don’t bother with a prayer your god does not care
I’ll see you at the end of the world

Red Sky
05:33
|

|
Everybody wants to be in the big game
But it’s the little man that makes the world work
Round and round, like a million dollars
You never seem to get the last word
CHORUS
Red Sky at Night
Better take in your delight
Red Sky in the Morning
Better take your early warning signs
How the hell they gonna get it accomplished
Without you they won’t survive
All the bigshots, thinking they’re so genius
On your blood and sweat that they thrive
CHORUS
Every now & then, you feel the temptation
To forsake and set aside
But a dollar never turns into a living
Takes a big man to swallow your pride
CHORUS

Wishing Tree
07:03
|
|||
|
Every now and then I get restless in my own skin
don’t know how it happens but it’s over and over again
Clouding my own judgement, leaving you up in the air
Not so prone to careless but it sometimes catches me unaware
CHORUS:
Ah the toil and the bother are burning me
With the burden of a life that holds no guarantees
Life is good under the Wishing Tree
Coming up from strong beginnings I learned to call it by its name
Once it had a hold on me, there was no one left to blame
Simple life for simple times is how I seemed to find my way
Now with all these walls around me there is no time left to play
Chorus
Pushing down the pedal head out west there are mountains in front of me
But they are not obstacles, more like possibility
Strong enough to find my weakness, two hearts can go down extra slow
And then I find my standard reflected in the golden glow
Chorus
