Cast to the fire your halo
The wings come off
When your hearts at stake
No sin could be too great
When rising to the fear
You might be alone
To possess or release
To wear a mask or be revealed
Where there's desires shown
The cores exposed
But the fire burns bright
It's the deepest part
And the sweetest and the hardest blow
When there's love
Such an affliction
Feeds the heart and bleeds the soul
When there's love
Such majesty and fate
So incomplete as i fall asleep
Dreaming of barriers
Sobriety to a drunk it's as harsh as light

Random Human Thing

Random Human Thing
It’s a random human thing
Loves mystery and wrath
Two hearts once beat as one
Now one cuts all ties from fear
She’s been in hiding
He measures this like his success
No one will be her shelter
If there’s no walk to the altar
He chokes the life from her happiness
What you can’t put to rest
Will erode you from inside
Tear you up hollow you like a ghost
Can you turn and walk away
Take the chance you might lose again
Understand she doesn’t love you
Wear your losses like a win
Or wreck your every day emotion
The change is in the wind
She’s not such an easy demolition
He needs her tagged pinned and bound
She’s like a butterfly to his page
But to hold on that tight
Is to squeeze out all the life
She’s like a bit player in this damn fool’s charade
There’s no overt display
He’s a lost soul this shadow man
A misplaced sorrow, a bleeding heart
He was broken from the start
Now he wants her broken just the same

Like Coming Home

Welcome to the shade
Come rest under my eaves
Take shelter from the pain
Count time as the sun rains down on me
Let warmth surround you here
Embrace tranquilly
I’ll be your easy chair
Your place to rest my honoured guest
Stand strong like a maple
Autumn shadows on our lives
It’s all leaves and branches
You feel the need we’ll simplify just you and I
You’re home
It’s like coming home
Feel the fire, smell history
Be transported to a distant time
Transfixed sentiment
There lights a past that’s pure and at ease
Hear your breath exhale
See light through rows of perfect trees
Just wind for your music
Dirt for the soul and for the seed

Paint To Water
Like paint to water
Like tears to a river she’s lost, adrift
She’s denying
The consequences of her loss
The mirror precedes the passion
Hollowness comes at a cost
Where there’s light from the darkness
There’s hope for this life
Where the will remains at the centre
All wrapped up in a beating heart
Ignorance draped in beauty
Forging sorrow in her wake
She’s like a small wrecking ball
She’s dangerous and blank
She’ll contemplate
In the darkness of the night
What’s real and what’s illusion
But settle for what she’s been told
Enveloped in her precious life
Enthralled in celebrity
Engaging with no one
Enraged about nothing

Don’t want to hear the news
I’m tired of the TV screen
I’ve heard it all before it’s been done better
In the name of religion
Name of democracy
But most of all it’s all about currency
Safe in ignorance
Numb to all tolerance
Force fed attitudes and the latest fashion
We’ve been down one time
Exceeded the second time
No sacrifice makes a difference
When there’s no conviction
Lives of the people lost
Head down no consiousness
The martyr rises from the father’s ashes
Cheap labour young girl
Child soldier, young boy
Wrapped tight in misery is slavery
When there’s tyranny
Where is the first world
The easy road softens you need time in the ditch

Beautiful Ghost
From snowdrops to roses
Your love stained this heart
In this our blessed union
Eliza divine
Embracing devotion
Oh luminous joy
We’re sweethearts forever
Our souls they entwine
Oh mystical body
Oh mercy oh grace
My bride she is taken
From this earthly place
I loved her so,
Oh no tongue it can tell
How much I loved her
Oh and how well
But her God loved her too,
And he thought that it best
To take her to
Her heavenly rest
Cruel predestination
Oh mercy my love
So early I’m taken
To heaven above
Destroyer of happiness
Oh demon my host
Now all that is left is
My beautiful ghost
