Face of Narcissus
04:26

I saw my face
In the water
and vanity consumed me
Oh mother dear
save me from myself
before I lose my way
in my golden locks
and blue eyes I've been
searching for beauty within
but here it lies on the surface
they call me Narcissus
I saw her face
on the shore, staring at me
Oh she was fair
but not as fair as the water
Before I turned away
to my golden locks
and blue eyes I've been
letting my ego win
and now she dies for the purpose
her love for Narcissus

Brother James

Brother of mine
never shared all the secrets inside
fiery eyes, gazed up into the sky
Mother always put you first
bragged about how much your worth
years would pass before I'd see
the Glory that stood next to me
Now I am torn inside
Your words, are they truth or lies
I believe, that eventually
You will pull me into Your light
Brother please keep me in your sight
Onward You went
asking them to repent
a passing of time
until you would pay for your crime
beaten, mocked and broken down
later raised with trumpet sound
when they hung You on a tree
my Brother gave me eyes to see
Now I am forced to find
this light that You hold inside
I believe, that it began
on the day that the veil was torn
till You rose on that Sunday morn'

Solitary Man

Dime store love and a cigarette
on the back porch in the yard
and I know, I know she's not right for me
but I'm not going that far
She looks so good in the morning rain
gonna talk me down, down to the ground
gonna lay me down on a bed of nails
over and over again
And they clap their hands, again
entertained by my disdain
and all the books I have read
didn't teach me how to keep me head
Solitary Man
Drive all night to the ocean's edge
with my heart in my hands
and pieces, pieces of my heart
I'll bury them in the sand
Well maybe there's a girl somewhere out there
who's going my way
'Cause I'm reaching, reaching for Heaven's gate
and I don't know where I'm gonna stay

Ash Filled Soul
04:31

My Father's Father said
that when he was my size
he'd go down to the lake sayin'
there's no truth only lies
town is gone
Well they grow up big and tough
hangin' around this town
and the men stood far from equal
one insult would put you down
to the ground
And the smoldering ash
that brought my body home
I concluded that, the best are not alone
And the cabin walls a prison
for my shallow soul
they would shield me from the heartache
that would surely take it's toll
seal the windows, bar the door
my faith is all I'm given
for the Lord he ain't as stubborn
as I thought before
And the smoldering ash
that brought my body home
I concluded that, the best are not alone
When the gas main shook the sparks' hand
and welcomed warmth to wood
my home became a matchbox
and brighter than it should
I burned
Into ash filled
another ash filled soul

Deliver Us
03:46
|
|||
|
The lines of age, drawn on your face
reflects the dying land
the yield so plenty and wonderful
Heaven now forbids
I was a boy when it appeared
the cloud that choked our lives
our tears, they fell upon the broken ground
it's only nourishment
You say it will all turn out in the end
yet it consumes the crops though you pretend
The road was long and perilous
it gave deliverance
from all the toils that we left behind
for land by God restored
You say it will all turn out in the end
yet it consumes the crops though you pretend

Beneath it All
03:48
|

|
As we lie here together beneath the clouds
thunder echoes softly all around
though the storm we're in is dark and cold
I know my light is your hand to hold
and the wind keeps howling
calling out my name
Honey you stood by me every way
even though I'm changing everyday
I remember a time so long ago
a time when I had little love to show
Then you came in like a desert rain
and since that day I've never been the same
and the wind keeps blowing
calling out my name
Honey you stood by me every way
even though I'm changing everyday
