lyrics

Praised be the day!
When the lock is turned with our key!
The change that must come will be,
And vision remain

The mist shall concede the day
The fog-of-war leave our minds
Enemies will vanquished be
We’ll regain command

Pain is a muse they say
And anger her poetry
And I am her cavalry
And sometimes her hand

Ignorance is a whore
Sanity her bedfellow
And many times we have fell
From what we should be

What we should be
Is stronger than those before
We must learn to accept
The weakness in man

Temperament rules the way
With troughs full of wasted time
And millions wait there in line
Consumed by the game

Wisdoms become no more
Reasons replaced its thread
And knowledge is sold instead
Of learnt or retained

And all this is borne
By you whose waters have grown
But now on dry land have thrown
The promise away

Confusion’s planted and sown
Calculated and planned
We can’t even raise our hand!
Because we don’t know its there

And silence speaks of defeat
The wind it must carry sound
Clarity must abound
And dust swept away

Fates altered and torn
Truth shall be gained anew
And happiness brought to you
By your own hand
By your own hand
By your own hand
By your own hand

about

The Killing Words London

My mind is an ashtray
Filled with coins-
But an ashtray nonetheless
Dreams of avarice, dreams
of returning to the fold. Dreams
of St. Francis of Assisi- out there all alone
Naked within the wilderness,
vision well-sprung bittersweet
bearing down on the bottom of the barrel-
But dreams of avarice nonetheless.
