Across The Fields - Lyrics - Love Among The Ruins - 10,000 Maniacs

Title: Across The Fields
Album: Love Among The Ruins
Artist: 10,000 Maniacs
Composer(s): Jerome Stanl Augustyniak, Robert N. Buck, Dennis Arnold Drew, Steven E. Gustafson, John C. Lombardo, Mary Jeanne Ramsey

Lyric:
Well they left then in the mornin'
A hundred pairs of wings in the light moved together
In the colors of the mornin'
I looked to the clouds in the cirrus sky and they'd gone

Across the marshes, across the fields below
Oh, I fell through the vines and I hoped they would catch me below
If only to take me with them there
Tell me the part that shines in your heart on the wind

Across the marshes, across the fields below
Oh, I fell through the vines and I hoped they would catch me below

And the reeds blew in the mornin'
Take me along to the places you've gone when my eyes looked away
Tell me the song that you sing in the trees in the dawnin'
Tell me the part that shines in your heart and the rays of love forever
Please take me there

Fields Of Gray - Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

Title: Fields Of Gray
Artist: Bruce Hornsby
Composer(s): Bruce Hornsby

Lyric:
When the night lies so still
Oh before I go to sleep
I come by, I come by
Oh just to look at you
In the dim light I say
That in my own small way
I will try, I will try
To help you through

There'll be blue skies falling
There'll be sad scenes and bad dreams
In a world so uncertain
Through the clouds it's hard to see
I will grab you and lift you
As you hold on tight and sway
We'll go walking
Across the fields of gray

There's a place I can go
When the world gets me down
Oh when nothing, oh when nothing
Goes quite right it seems
As I look there I know
Fortune smiles on me so
But who knows, no one knows
About tomorrow

There'll be blue skies falling
There'll be sad scenes and bad dreams
In a world so uncertain
Through the clouds it's hard to see
I will grab you and lift you
As you hold on tight and sway
We'll go walking
Across the fields of gray

When I was younger, I saw things in black and white
Now all I see is a sad, hazy gray
Sometimes I see a narrow flash of light
Sometimes I look and you show me the way

No matter what else happens
What the future will be
In a world so uncertain
Through the clouds it's hard to see
I will grab you and carry you
Calm your fears if you're afraid
We'll go walking
Across the fields of gray

Fields of gray
We'll go walking
We'll go walking
We'll go walking

Crutch - Lyrics - Buffalo Tom

Title: Crutch
Artist: Buffalo Tom
Composer(s): Bill Janovitz, Tom Maginnis, Chris Colbourn

Lyric:
Leaving, she came along
She came a long way to see me
She came across snowy fields
Baby, I've almost grown somehow
I've between the coasts, but my mind
My mind must be back in Boston

And you're all above the moon
And you're all above the moon
And I'm lyin' across this tracks
And I'm on the train ride back

Slowly, I turned to him, said
"If I'm not yet dead, surely
This must be killing me instead"
Turnin', I am turning blue
In this bar with you, but my mind
Must be back in San Francisco

Andyou're all above the moon
And you're all above the moon
And I'm lying across the tracks
And I'm on the train ride back

And I'm in between the cars
And I'm in between the stars
And you're all above the moon
And you're all above the moon
(The moon)

Highways, head is loose at last
The radio's on full blast
I'm rolling
In a midnight Chevrolet
Snowdust, I'm caught dead in the night
The stars and fire light, the sky a jewel
I believe I'm back in Boston

And you're all above the moon
You're all above the moon
And I'm lying across the tracks
And I'm on the train ride back

And I'm in between the cars
And I'm in between the stars
And you're all across the moon
You're all above the moon
You're all across the moon
You're all above the moon
The moon
The moon

Fields Of Summer - Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Title: Fields Of Summer
Artist: Nanci Griffith
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith

Lyric:
I am fragile in the morning, I grow stronger in the day
I can sprint like a new spring doe by the fall of night
Love has chased me down through the cities and the towns
Until I stood beside the road and let it pass me by
Like a fool I've missed the rain 'cause I was crying

Then you are calling, call my heart, awake from years of slumber
And then I'm falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer
Can you hold me? Though I'm inclined to leave my home and wander
Oh, can you keep me like a child head over heel in fields of summer?

Fields of summer
Fields of summer
I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer

And now that you have caught me, are you sure you really want me?
Though I'm fragile as December on your shoulder in the dawn
And when the day has made me stronger, can you satisfy my hunger?
When the night has come and I would race the moon across the sky
Would you chase me through those open fields of summer?

Then you are calling, call my heart, awake from years of slumber
And then I'm falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer
Can you hold me? Though I'm inclined to leave my home and wander
Oh, can you keep me like a child head over heel in fields of summer?

Fields of summer, yeah
Fields of summer
I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer

Can you hold me?
Hold me?
Hold me?
Can you hold me?
Hold me?
Hold me?
I'm falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer

The Killing Fields - Lyrics - The Riddle Box - Insane Clown Posse

Title: The Killing Fields
Album: The Riddle Box
Artist: Insane Clown Posse
Composer(s): Joseph Bruce, Mike E. Clark, William Dail

Lyric:
Laying in my bed, I think of many horror tales
Yet I barely move, my bed is made of nails
I try to roll, my skin slowly tears away
My flesh is stuck to my bed as I begin my day

Walking out the house, this morning, the sky is red
The streets are crowded with the bodies of the living dead
They're trying to die, they're leaping off of roof tops
Uh, they only scream in pain as their body flops

I'd rather stay inside my home and only pray to die
But my house is been on fire since like '85
I can only stand a night of the fatal smoke
But see you never die, you only burn and choke

And so I leave out the house and walk the land
Wild pigs run and feed off the dying man
And look around you, there's bodies hanging from the trees
But they're not dying, they're only crying, "Please"

I hear the thunder in the sky, so I run in hide
The deadly rain may soon come down, you got to get inside
The lunatics see the lightning, they're screaming, yes
It's raining blood, the streets are a bloody mess

About once or twice a week though it thunder storms
That's when giant heavy red and black clouds form
It's raining blood, livers, and kidneys from the sky
Prepare 'cause when you die, you're coming to the killing fields

What shall that be? What shall that be?
When that fine moment comes
When the curtains are drawn, the windows are shut
The doors close and you've written what you've written

You said it, that's it, what will you look to be?
What about it, mister, when you've had your last beer
You laughed at family and laughed at your little wife
She begged you not to go out to that bar

As I feed off a dead pig, I'm thinking back
To when I had a heart beat, and how I would act
I would steal from the poor, I'd laugh at the sick
But in the killing fields, you get your fucking neck ripped

So as I walk along, I meet a lot of strange folks
Some people with no eyes, and gashed open throats
And if they notice your eyeballs are working well
They try to dig 'em out your skull, and go for self

Now in the summertime, it's like a whole 'nother realm
Water victims, fire and oceans overwhelm
To walk outside, the heat will surely cook your brains
Try to run across the street your hair will burst in flames

Victims in a panic run from the heated light
Underneath the city, into the sewer pipes
Into the fire storm this becomes your new land
But there's no food, so you feed off the other men

And now it's been seven months, I'm barely fed
I chase a billy, billy goat with a human's head
He's steady screaming, "Let me be! Let me be!"
But while I chase him there's another demon chasing me

All of time moves backwards, I'm growing old
And the clouds are burning fire, and so I'm told
That there's a lot of living souls such as the rich
That choose to live like a bitch, I'll see you in the killing fields

You've had your big time of lust and sin and filth
What is the end going to be when you realize that time is up?
You've crossed the finish line going in the wrong direction
What shall it be? What about it, ya man?
When you spent your life in a few years time?
You're burned out shell at 25 years of age
What shall it be? What about it?

You could go to hell, what shall it be?
You could go to hell, what shall it be?
You could go to hell, what shall it be?
You could go to hell, what shall it be?
You could go to hell

Come, come on down, down
Come, come on down, down
Come, come on down, down
Come, come on down, down

Come, come on down, down
Come, come on down, down
Come, come on down, down
Come, come on down, down

Sunflower Cat (Some Dour Cat) (Down With That) - Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

Title: Sunflower Cat (Some Dour Cat) (Down With That)
Artist: Bruce Hornsby
Composer(s): Robert C Hunter, Bruce Hornsby, Michael Mangini, Jerome J Garcia

Lyric:
One eye is open, the other eye is shut
Don't throw anything to me
I'm in no place, no place to receive
And I just can't move a thing

Things are rough down here
You know it's a little grim
Whatever you've got to pick me up
To help me out, I'm in, I'm down with that

In my dream I can fly, fly high
Over the fields and across the sky
Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground
If you could take me back up there
I'm down, down with that

When I escape and close my eyes
Can't tell you from me
Sometimes in the dreams I look at myself
And it's looks so good, what I see

I'm having a little trouble here
Could you maybe help me out?
A little confidence pill you got
To take away my self doubt, I'm down with that

In my dream I can fly, fly high
Over the fields and across the sky
Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground
If you could take me back up there
I'm down, down with that

Slow down sun, shake yourself
Why make your own hell?
Say what are you doing son?
I'm just trying to like myself

I'd love to help myself
You know I really, really would
May your days be bright and well

In my dream I can fly, fly high
Over the fields and across the sky
Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground
If you could take me back up there
I'm down, down with that

Ask The Angels - Lyrics - The Distillers

Title: Ask The Angels
Artist: The Distillers
Composer(s): Ivan Kral, Patti Smith

Lyric:
Move

Ask the angels who they're calling
Go ask the angels if they're calling to thee
Ask the angels while they're falling
Who that person could possibly be

And I know you got the feeling
You know, I feel it crawl across the floor
And I know it got you reelin'
And honey, honey the call is for war
And it's wild, wild, wild, wild

Everybody got the feelin'
You know the feeling and it's stronger each day
Everybody wants to be reelin'
And baby, baby, I'll show you the way

And I know it's hard sometimes
You got a piece and hit across the sky
And I know it's hard sometimes
And world war is the battle cry
And it's wild, wild, wild, wild

Across the country, through the fields
You know I see it written 'cross the sky
And people rising from the highway
And war, war is the battle cry
And it's wild, wild, wild, wild

Armageddon, it's gotten
No savior jailer can take it from me
World rocking, since beginning
And rock and roll is what I'm born to be
And it's wild, wild, wild, wild

Wild, wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild, wild

I'll ask the angels if they're startin' to move
Comin' in droves in from L.A.
Ask the angels if they're starting to groove
Lightning as armor and it's today
It's wild, wild, wild, wild

Wild, wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild, wild
It's wild, wild, wild, wild

Roads To Moscow - Lyrics - Al Stewart

Title: Roads To Moscow
Artist: Al Stewart
Composer(s): Al Stewart

Lyric:
They crossed over the border the hour before dawn
Moving in lines through the day, most of our planes
Were destroyed on the ground where they lay waiting
For orders we held in the wood, word from the front never came

By evening the sound of the gunfire was miles away
Ah, softly we move through the shadows, slip away
Through the trees crossing their lines in the mists in
The fields on our hands and our knees and all that I ever was able to see

The fire in the air glowing red silhouetting the smoke on the breeze
All summer they drove us back through the Ukraine
Smolensk and Viyasma soon fell, by autumn we stood
With our backs to the town of Orel

Closer and closer to Moscow they come, riding the wind like a bell
General Guderian stands at the crest of the hill, winter brought
With her the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads gluing
The tracks of their tanks to the ground while the sky filled with snow

And all that I ever was able to see the fire in the air
Glowing red silhouetting the snow on the breeze
In the footsteps of Napoleon the shadow figures
Stagger through the winter falling back before the gates of Moscow
Standing in the wings like an avenger

And far away behind their lines the partisans are stirring in the forest
Coming unexpectedly upon their outposts, growing like a promise
You'll never know, you'll never know
Which way to turn, which way to look, you'll never see us

As we're stealing through the blackness of the night
You'll never know, you'll never hear us
And the evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming
The morning road leads to Stalingrad, and the sky is softly humming

Two broken Tigers on fire in the night flicker
Their souls to the wind, we wait in the lines for the final
Approach to begin, it's been almost four years that
I've carried a gun at home it'll almost be spring

The flames of the Tigers are lighting the road to Berlin
Ah, quickly we move through the ruins that bow to the ground
The old men and children they send out to face us
They can't slow us down and all that I ever was able to see

The eyes of the city are opening now it's the end of the dream
I'm coming home, I'm coming home now you can taste
It in the wind, the war is over and I listen to the clicking
Of the train wheels as we roll across the border

And now they ask me of the time that I was caught
Behind their lines and taken prisoner
"They only held me for a day, a lucky break", I say
They turn and listen closer, I'll never know, I'll never know

Why I was taken from the line and all the others?
To board a special train and journey deep into the
Heart of holy Russia and it's cold and damp in the transit camp
And the air is still and sullen and the pale sun of October

Whispers the snow will soon be coming
And I wonder when I'll be home again
And the morning answers never and the evening sighs
And the steely Russian skies go on forever

Lonesome Day Blues - Lyrics - Love And Theft - Bob Dylan

Title: Lonesome Day Blues
Album: Love And Theft
Artist: Bob Dylan
Composer(s): Bob Dylan

Lyric:
Well, today has been
A sad and lonesome day
Yeah, today has been
A sad and lonesome day
I'm just sitting here thinking
With my mind a million miles away

Well, they're doing the double shuffle
Throwing sand on the floor
They're doing the double shuffle
They're throwing sand on the floor
When I left my longtime darling
She was standing in the door

Well, my pa, he died and left me
My brother got killed in the war
Well, my pa, he died and left me
My brother got killed in the war
My sister, she ran off and got married
Never was heard of anymore

Samantha Brown lived in my house
For 'bout four or five months
Samantha Brown lived in my house
For 'bout four or five months
Don't know how it looked to other people
I never slept with her even once

Well, the road's washed out
Weather not fit for man or beast
Well, the road's washed out
Weather not fit for man or beast
Funny, the things you have the hardest time parting with
Are the things you need the least

And I'm forty miles from the mill
I'm dropping it into overdrive
I'm forty miles from the mill
I'm dropping it into overdrive
Set my dial on the radio
I wish my mother was still alive

I seen your lover-man comin'
Comin' across the barren fields
I see your lover-man comin'
Comin' across the barren fields
He not a gentleman at all, he's rotten to the core
He's a coward and he steals

Well, my captain, he's decorated
He's well-schooled and he's skilled
My captain, he's decorated
He's well-schooled and he's skilled
He's not sentimental, don't bother him at all
How many of his pals have been killed

Last night the wind was whispering
I was trying to make out what it was
Last night the wind was whispering something
I was trying to make out what it was
Yeah, I tell myself some thing's coming
But it never does

I'm gonna spare the defeated
I'm gonna speak to the crowd
I'm gonna spare the defeated
'Cause I'm going to speak to the crowd
I'm gonna teach peace to the conquered
I'm going to tame the proud

Well, the leaves are rustling in the wood
Things are falling off of the shelf
Leaves are rustling in the wood
Things are falling off the shelf
You're gonna need my help, sweetheart
You can't make love all by yourself

Native Son - Lyrics - John Hiatt

Title: Native Son
Artist: John Hiatt
Composer(s): John Hiatt

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
You finally found the mainstream in the middle of your life
You tapped into a vein of endless gold chains, now you're locked up tight
Tearing down the middle of it, splitting it right in half
Bobbing up and down the waves like a runaway slave on a Huck Finn raft

Take your wife, take your family, take your gun, running through the woods And the burned out neighborhoods, looking for someone
A member of your tribe, a place you can hide 'til the war has begun
'Cause in the fields before the flood, you'll be spilling blood like a native son

Where you gonna run to? There ain't no underground
If only you could fly, you'd cut across the sky like a rifle round
Oh, who are your people and where is your homeland?
'Cause they're dying side by side at the river of pride
Where we tried to take a stand

Take your wife, take your family, take your gun, running through the woods And the burned out neighborhoods, looking for someone
A member of your tribe, a place you can hide 'til the war has begun
'Cause in the fields before the flood, you'll be spilling blood like a native son

Take your wife, take your family, take your gun, running through the woods And the burned out neighborhoods, looking for someone
A member of your tribe, a place you can hide 'til the war has begun
'Cause in the fields before the flood, you'll be spilling blood like a native son
In the fields before the flood, you'll be spilling blood like a native son

Holy Knight - Lyrics - Freedom Call

Title: Holy Knight
Artist: Freedom Call
Composer(s): Chris Bay, Daniel Zimmermann

Lyric:
In times of war we fight
Where spirits of vengeance collide
Paralyzed fear deep inside
Voices calling, "Raise your head and hail"

One step in mind, two for the fight
Across the fields of pain we march
Glory to the land

Holy knight, guiding light
Give us hope and feel our desire
No more fear, no more pain
Save us, the human race, freedom

We stand up awaiting the dawn
By daylight the kingdom is born
Our fortune is to bury wars
Love and peace for all

One step in mind, two for the fight
A world in rage falls in decline
Leave it all behind

Holy knight, guiding light
Give us hope and feel our desire
No more fear, no more pain
Save us, the human race, freedom

Holy knight, guiding light
Give us hope and feel our desire
No more fear, no more pain
Save us, the human race, freedom

Hear the forces calling
We will raise our head up high
Feel the forces roaring
They will ride across the sky

Hear the forces calling
We will raise our head up high
Feel the forces roaring
They will ride across the sky

Is it our reality
To live a life in agony?
Everything that we have done
Burned the place that we belong

Is it our reality
To live a life in agony?
Everything that we have done
Burned the place that we belong

Is it our reality
To live a life in agony?
Everything that we have done
Burned the place that we belong

Is it our reality
To live a life in agony?
Everything that we have done
Burned the place that we belong

Fall from grace, take us home
Face to face, pray till the end of time

Black Diamond Bay - Lyrics - Desire - Bob Dylan

Title: Black Diamond Bay
Album: Desire
Artist: Bob Dylan
Composer(s): Jacques Levy, Bob Dylan

Lyric:
Up on the white veranda
She wears a necktie and a Panama hat
Her passport shows a face from
Another time and place
She looks nothin' like that
And all the remnants of her recent past
Are scattered in the wild wind
She walks across the marble floor
Where a voice from the gambling room is callin' her to come on in
She smiles, walks the other way
As the last ship sails and the moon fades away
From Black Diamond Bay

As the mornin' light breaks open, the Greek comes down
And he asks for a rope and a pen that will write
"Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says
Carefully removes his fez
"Am I hearin' you right?"
And as the yellow fog is liftin'
The Greek is quickly headin' for the second floor
She passes him on the spiral staircase
Thinkin' he's the Soviet Ambassador
She starts to speak, but he walks away
As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway
On Black Diamond Bay

A soldier sits beneath the fan
Doin' business with a tiny man who sells him a ring
Lightning strikes, the lights blow out
The desk clerk wakes and begins to shout
"Can you see anything?"
Then the Greek appears on the second floor
In his bare feet with a rope around his neck
While a loser in the gambling room lights up a candle
Says, "Open up another deck"
But the dealer says, "Attendez-vous, s'il vous plait"
As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away
From Black Diamond Bay

The desk clerk heard the woman laugh
As he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got tough
He tried to grab the woman's hand
Said, "Here's a ring, it cost a grand"
She said, "That ain't enough"
Then she ran upstairs to pack her bags
While a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curb
She passed the door that the Greek had locked
Where a handwritten sign read, "Do not disturb"
She knocked upon it anyway
As the sun went down and the music did play
On Black Diamond Bay

I've got to talk to someone quick
But the Greek said, "Go away" and he kicked the chair to the floor
He hung there from the chandelier
She cried, "Help, there's danger near
Please open up the door!"
Then the volcano erupted
And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above
The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the corner
Thinking of forbidden love
But the desk clerk said, "It happens every day"
As the stars fell down and the fields burned away
On Black Diamond Bay

As the island slowly sank
The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room
The dealer said, "It's too late now
You can take your money, but I don't know how
You'll spend it in the tomb"
The tiny man bit the soldier's ear
As the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew
While she's out on the balcony, where a stranger tells her
"My darling, je vous aime beaucoup"
She sheds a tear and then begins to pray
As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away
From Black Diamond Bay

I was sittin' home alone one night in L.A.
Watchin' old Cronkite on the seven o'clock news
It seems there was an earthquake that
Left nothin' but a Panama hat
And a pair of old Greek shoes
Didn't seem like much was happenin'
So I turned it off and went to grab another beer
Seems like every time you turn around
There's another hard-luck story that you're gonna hear
And there's really nothin' anyone can say
And I never did plan to go anyway
To Black Diamond Bay

Fortunes Of War - Lyrics - Fish

Title: Fortunes Of War
Artist: Fish
Composer(s): Robin Raymond Boult, James Gerard Cassidy, Derek William Dick

Lyric:
Rose beds scattered across the lawn
Like the squares at Waterloo
With bayonets of thorns repelling small children
In search of lost tennis balls

Imaginary cannonballs that were fired
At the legs of galloping cavalry
Resting their dreams in the shade of the apple trees
Toy soldiers drunk on warm lemonade

And the children dream of glory and fortunes of war
They're safe in bed with stories
And fortunes of war, fortunes of war

As the sun sets low on these playing fields
An army returns with its swords and shields
Dustbin lids and raspberry canes
They'll live to fight another day

Warrior's medals, milk bottle tops
Battle flags fashioned
From Mother's old table cloths
Bright colors run in the summer rain

'Cause sometimes when they fall
They will pretend
That the hankie is a bandage
To stop the bleeding

And imagine city streets
And desert storms and foreign fields
And bullets flying
These are the fortunes of war

I heard a wheelchair whisper
Across a stale, stagnant gymnasium
Trailing an ivy league jacket like a matador
Through the jitterbug steps of the night before

And I followed him down to the church parade
Where he makes his peace every armistice day
I watched him fade away
And melt in the autumn rain

'Cause sometimes when they fall
They can't pretend
That the hankie is a bandage
They can't stop the bleeding

They're out in city streets
And desert storms in foreign fields
Oh, there's bullets flying
These are the fortunes of war

While the children dream of glory
And fortunes of war
They're safe in bed with stories
And fortunes of war

The uniforms and glory
The fortunes of war, fortunes of war
The fortunes of war, fortunes of war
Fortunes of war, these are the fortunes of war

Of war, of war, of war, of war, of war
These are the fortunes, these are the fortunes
Fortunes of war, these are the fortunes, fortunes of war
These are the fortunes, fortunes of war

Indian Sunset - Lyrics - Madman Across The Water - Elton John

Title: Indian Sunset
Album: Madman Across The Water
Artist: Elton John
Composer(s): Elton John, Bernie Taupin

Lyric:
As I awoke this evening
With the smell of wood smoke clinging
Like a gentle cobweb hanging
Upon a painted tepee

Oh, I went to see my chieftain
With my warlance and my woman
For he told us that the Yellow Moon
Would very soon be leaving

"This I can't believe", I said
"I can't believe our warlord's dead
Oh, he would not leave the chosen ones
To the buzzards and the soldiers' guns"

Oh, Great Father of the Iroquois
Ever since, I was young
I've read the writing of the smoke
And breastfed on the sound of drums

I've learned to hurl the tomahawk
And ride a painted pony wild
To run the gantlet of the Sioux
To make a chieftain's daughter mine

And now you ask that I should watch
The red man's race be slowly crushed
What kind of words are these to hear
From Yellow Dog whom a white man fears?

I take only what is mine, Lord
My pony, my squaw, and my child
Oh, I can't stay here to see you die
Along with my tribe's pride

I go to search for the Yellow Moon
And the fathers of our sons
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold
And the healin' waters run

Tramplin' down the prairie rose
Leavin' hoof tracks in the sand
Those who wish to follow me
I welcome with my hands

I heard from passin' renegades
Geronimo was dead
He'd been layin' down his weapons
When they filled him full of lead

Now there seems no reason
Why I should carry on
In this land that once was my land
I can't find a home

It's lonely and it's quiet
And the horse soldiers are comin'
And I think it's time I strung my bow
And ceased my senseless running

For soon I'll find the Yellow Moon
Along with my loved ones
Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields
Without the sound of guns

And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Comes with a bullet hole

Theives In The Night - Lyrics - Mos Def

Title: Theives In The Night
Artist: Mos Def
Composer(s): Talib Kweli, Charles Njapa, Dante Smith

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Yo Dee, what? Come on
What? What? Come on

"Give me the fortune, keep the fame", said my man Louis
I agreed, know what he mean because we live the truest lie
I asked him why we follow the law of the bluest eye
He looked at me, he thought about it was like, "I'm clueless, why?"

The question was rhetorical, the answer is horrible
Our morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow
And so tomorrow comin' later than usual
Waitin' on someone to pity us

While we findin' beauty in the hideous
They say money's the root of all evil but I can't tell
You know what I mean? Pesos, Francs, Yens
Cowrie Shells, Dollar bills or is it the mind state that's ill?

Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build
Over money and religion there's more blood to spill
The wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal
What's the deal?

A lot of cats who buy records are straight broke
But my language universal they be recitin' my quotes
While R&B singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat of thought
That my man Louis statements just provoked

Caught up in conversations of our personal worth brought up
Through endangered species status on the planet Earth
Survival tactics means bustin' gats to prove you hard
Your firearms are too short to box with God without faith
All of that is illusionary, raise my son
No vindication of manhood necessary

Not strong, only aggressive, not free, we only licensed
Not compassionate, only polite, now who the nicest?
Not good but well behaved, chasin' after death
So we can call ourselves brave, still livin' like mental slaves

Hidin' like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice
Hidin' like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice

Yo, I'm sure that everybody out listenin' agree
That everything you see ain't really how it be
A lot of jokers out runnin' in place, chasin' the style
Be a lot goin' on beneath the empty smile

Most cats in my area be lovin' the hysteria
Synthesized surface conceals the interior
America, land of opportunity, mirages and camouflages
More than usually, speakin' loudly, sayin' nothin'
You confusin' me, you losin' me

Your game is twisted, want me enlisted in your usary
Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly
Buffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception
Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin' glass
Walkin' the street, wonderin' who they be lookin' past

Lookin' gassed with them imported designer shades on
Stars shine bright but the light rarely stays on
Same song, just remixed, different arrangement
Put you on a yacht but they won't call it a slaveship
Strangeness, you don't control this, you barely hold this

Screamin' brand new, when they just sanitized the old shit
Suppose it's just another clever Jedi Mind Trick
That they been runnin' across stars through all the time with
I find it's distressin', there's never no in between
We either niggaz or kings, we either bitches or queens

The deadly ritual seems immersed in the perverse
Full of short attention spans, short tempers and short skirts
Long barrel automatics released in short bursts
The length of black life is treated with short worth

Get yours first, them other niggaz secondary
That type of illin' that be fillin' up the cemetery
This life is temporary but the soul is eternal
Separate the real from the lie, let me learn you

Not strong, only aggressive, 'cause the power ain't directed
That's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive
Not free, we only licensed, not live, we just excitin'
'Cause the captors own the masters to what we writin'

Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained
Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game
Not good, but well behaved 'cause the camera survey
Most of the things that we think, do or say

We chasin' after death just to call ourselves brave
But everyday, next man meet with the grave
I give a damn if any fan recall my legacy
I'm tryin' to live life in the sight of God's memory like that y'all

A lot of people don't understand the true criteria of things
Can't just accept the appearance
Have to get the true essence
They ain't lookin' around

Not strong, only aggressive, not free, we only licensed
Not compassionate, only polite, now who the nicest?
Not good but well behaved, chasin' after death
So we can call ourselves brave, they'rel livin' like mental slaves

Hidin' like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice
Hidin' like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice

Hidin' like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice
Hidin' like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice

Stop hidin', stop hidin', stop hidin' yo' face
Stop hidin', stop hidin' 'cause ain't no hidin' place
Stop hidin', stop hidin' stop hidin' yo' face
Stop hidin', stop hidin' 'cause ain't no hidin' place

Said, there ain't no hidin' place
Said, there ain't no hidin' place
Said, there ain't no hidin' place
Said, there ain't no hidin' place

Said, there ain't no hidin' place
But stop hidin' yo' face, you can stop hidin' yo' face
Stop hidin', stop hidin', stop hidin' yo' face

We take the Black Star line, ride on home
We take the Black Star line, ride on home
We take that Black Star line, ride on home
We take that Black Star line, ride on home

Be real, be sure, keep shinin'

Architecture Of A Genocidal Nature - Lyrics - Dimmu Borgir

Title: Architecture Of A Genocidal Nature
Artist: Dimmu Borgir
Composer(s): Alfredo Galderon, Silenoz Erkekjetter, Shagrat

Lyric:
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn
The brush that sweeps across the spectral fields
This landscape is not without a sense of epic wonder
A vast scale that places this sprawling underworld into a realm of frames

With a blood-storm fading into the distance
Floating without directions over this smouldering landscape
Caught in a moment of transformation

These shades of anatomic malignant nature
Approached on another in an unpleasant way
Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it's state
Created in a shape to accommodate a wide variety of demonic forms
The realm of the benighted aristocracy of evil most pure

This is where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep

Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps
It rages against mankind to annihilate the earth and worse
It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents

Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile
Genes would still blindly carry on smouldering ember of hell
Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush
That sweep all traces of time, place and pattern

A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn
The brush that sweeps across the spectral fields
This landscape is not without a sense of epic wonder
A vast scale that places this sprawling underworld into a realm of frames

With a blood-storm fading into the distance
Floating without directions over this smoldering landscape
Caught in a moment of transformation

These shades of anatomic malignant nature
Approached on another in an unpleasant way
Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it's state

Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization
Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly eliminated
The cornerstone of human emotions has now been drained away
I saw death of a most uncommon nature

You Do All Things Well - Lyrics - Arriving - Chris Tomlin

Title: You Do All Things Well
Album: Arriving
Artist: Chris Tomlin
Composer(s): Michael John Clement, Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves

Lyric:
Mountain maker
Ocean tamer
Glimpses of You
Burn in my eyes
The worship of heaven
Fills up the skies

You made it all said, "Let there be"
And there was all that we see
The sound of Your voice
The works of Your hand
You do all things well
You do all things well
You do all things well

Star creator
Wind breather
The strokes of Your beauty
Brushed through the clouds
Light from the heaven
Touching the ground

And You made it all said, "Let there be"
And there was all that we see
The sound of Your voice
The works of Your hand
You do all things well
You do all things well
You do all things well

Imagination runs wild
And breathes the breath of life
Across the fields
Across the miles

You made it all said, "Let there be"
And there was all that we see
The sound of Your voice
The works of Your hand
You do all things well

You made it all said, "Let there be"
And there was all that we see
The sound of Your voice
The works of Your hand
You do all things well
You do all things well
You do all things well

When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky - Lyrics - Jeff Healey Band

Title: When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky
Artist: Jeff Healey Band
Composer(s): Bob Dylan

Lyric:
Look out across the fields, see me returning
Smoke is in your eyes, you draw a smile
From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning
You've had time to think about it for a while

Well, I've walked two hundred miles, look me over
It's the end of the chase and the moon is high
It won't matter who loves who, you'll love me or I'll love you
When the night comes falling, when the night comes falling
When the night comes falling from the sky

I can see through your walls and I know you're hurting
Sorrow covers you up like a cape
Only yesterday I know that you've been flirting
With disaster you somehow managed to escape

Well, I can't provide for you no easy answers
Who are you that I should have to lie
You'll know all about it, love it'll fit you like a glove
When the night comes falling, when the night comes falling
When the night comes falling from the sky

I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river
You must have been protecting someone last time I called
I've never asked you for nothing that you couldn't deliver
I've never asked to set yourself up for a fall

I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness
For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched them die
Stick around, baby, we're not through don't look for me, I'll see you
When the night comes falling, when the night comes falling
When the night comes falling from the sky

In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line
I don't want to be a fool starving for affection
I don't want to drown in someone else's wine

For all eternity I think I will remember
That icy wind that's howling in your eye
You will seek me and you'll find me in the wasteland of your mind
When the night comes falling, when the night comes falling
When the night comes falling from the sky

Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter
But you were gambling for support
This time tomorrow I'll know you better
Where my memory is not so short

This time I'm asking for freedom
Freedom from a world which you deny
And you'll give it to me now I'll take it anyhow
When the night comes falling, when the night comes falling
When the night comes falling from the sky

The Pony Man - Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Title: The Pony Man
Artist: Gordon Lightfoot
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot

Lyric:
When it's midnight on the meadow
And the cats are in the shed
And the river tells a story
At the window by my bed

If you listen very closely
Be as quiet as you can
In the yard you'll hear him
It is the pony man

We're always there to greet him
When he tumbles in the town
He leads a string of ponies
Some are white and some are brown

And they never seem to kick or bite
They only want to play
And they live on candy apples
Instead of oats and hay

And when we're all assembled
He gives a soft command
And we climb aboard our ponies
As in a row they stand

Then down the road we gallop
And across the fields we fly
And soon we all go sailing off
Into the midnight sky

And as we gaily rock along
Beside a rippling sea
There's Tom and Dick and Sally
And Mary Joe and me

And the pony man is leading
'Cause he's traveled here before
And he gives a whoop and a holler
At Mr. Moons front door

And then we stop to rest a while
Where the Soda River glides
Up to the slip comes a pirate ship
To take us for a ride

And the pony man's the captain
And the children are the crew
And we go in search of treasure
And laugh the whole night through

And when the hold is filled with gold
And the sails begin to strain
And the decks piled high with apple pie
We head for port again

And down the whirling star case
So swift our ponies fly
And were safely in our beds again
When the sunbeams kiss the sky

When it's midnight on the meadow
And the cats are in the shed
And the river tells a story
At the window by my bed

If you listen very closely
Be as quiet as you can
In the yard you'll hear him
It is the pony man
