I wish I could sing
For my fellow men
And touch their hearts
Again and again
…
Fill their stomachs with my voice
Where there should be food
And though it may not be enough
It may atleast sound good
And play a soulful melody
For all the children who weep
And not stop until
I know they are fast asleep
…
I wish I could sing
For my fellow men
And touch their hearts
Again and again
…
There are homeless people out there
With not a place to stay
Music may not be their shelter
But it will surely make their day
Then there are those who are sick and injured
And going through a lot of pain
I’ll sing my songs to heal them
And I’ll sing them once again
…
I wish I could sing
For my fellow men
And touch their hearts
Again and again

Let Us Wage A War
Let us wage a war
And bring years of civilisation down
Let us turn our men into criminals
And call them heroes of the town
…
Let us wage a war
And tear all the happy families apart
Let them pay a heavy price for
A game that we will start
…
Let us wage a war
And watch millions of people die
And if we don’t win at first
We’d give it another try
Is This World An Illusion?
Is this world an illusion?
Is everything a lie?
Are we born with a purpose?
Or do we just live here and die?
A Sleepless Man
All the world’s darkness
Is made up of lies
Unlike the power of light
Within my eyes
…
A story in the dark
Howls and that’s
What gives me company of
Owls and bats
..
Depression and demons are
In the same team
30 days or more since I
Last had a dream
…
Is this how it’s always
Going to be?
No, I haven’t got insomnia
Insomnia’s got me
Take Me Home
I don’t want to hear anything
Nothing to be shown
Just lend me a shoulder
And take me home
…
Shut the doors for another day
And secrets, unknown
Will you lend me a shoulder?
And take me home
…
The angels have fallen asleep while
The demons roam
Please lend me a shoulder
And take me home
…
My heavy heart knows how
These feelings have grown
But lend me a shoulder now
And take me home
…
Will you stay and not leave me
On my own?
Lend me a shoulder
And take me home
When Raging Against A Storm
When raging against a storm
Take your umbrella with you
Though it may not suffice
You’ll need something to hold on to
A-Hunting I Come
The devil chews my soul, then
Plays his drum
Hides in his hole, when
A-hunting I come
The Clouds Are Getting Darker
Is this world what it seems?
Is there more to bring?
The clouds are getting darker
It just isn’t pouring
…
We’re dancing over graves
Where the bees have left a sting
The clouds are getting darker
It just isn’t pouring
…
We’re hunting in pairs
Inside a fiery ring
The clouds are getting darker
It just isn’t pouring
…
The voices have been lost
Through which we used to sing
The clouds are getting darker
It just isn’t pouring
…
Tell me your secret
Trust me with this thing
The clouds are getting darker
It just isn’t pouring
…
Loss is mine and yours
Foes are in waiting
The clouds are getting darker
It just isn’t pouring
…
The clouds are getting darker
It just isn’t pouring
Soon it will
You’ll remember everything
May God Be With You – 7
God must love me a lot
He picked up all the problems in the world
And put them in my heart
You say that’s not true?
All the problems are with you?
Well, God must love you too
Summer’s Driving A Bus
Lay down all the corpses in my yard
I will bring them to life
No black magic or witch craft
Neither a surgeon’s knife
Will aid me in this ceremony
Of howling ghosts and foxy eyes
Just tell me what the truth is
And hear the last of your cries
…
Lay down all the demons in your soul
The winter is upon us
Cold winds are blowing through the window
While Summer’s driving a bus
On the path of solitude
Where darkness and pain had met
Only for a little while
When Sun had begun to set
