Call Me Legion

Well call me Legion friends
Or call me something new
For we are many friends
And promise you the moon
Cause we see all sides
Know all the boards
Can build you a wall
Protect your wife
Your sons and daughters
And make you stand tall
Despite all the cliché myths
The rest is true
What’s wrong is wrong
And right all depends on you
Cause we see your pride
Know all your haters
Can make them feel small
Fright for your rights
All that gunpowder
And your shopping malls
Oh you will not replace us is the cry
A system built on bodies far and wide
From a morning star and father of all lies
This blood and soil madness with never die

Rewrite The Fall
03:42
|
|||
|
Sing along if you have a broken heart
And don’t give a damn about the words
Lets go back to the start
Before you were bone and I was earth
And rewind it all
Or rewrite the fall
Rewind it all
Or rewrite the fall
I’m not giving up, I’m giving in
Let the chips fall where they may
Some say gambling is a sin
Just try to get through the day
And rewind it all
Or rewrite the fall
Rewind it all
Or rewrite the fall
You packed your bags, said so long
Baby you ran strong and I lost site of you
You left me here with these sad songs
Trying to write my wrongs and get back to you
You packed your bags, said so long
Baby you ran strong and I lost site of you
You left me here with these sad songs
Trying to write my wrongs and get back to you
I cannot give you what you need
So I will get out of the way
But you are the air that breathe
And I wish you would stay
And rewind it all
Or rewrite the fall
Rewind it all
Or rewrite the fall

Heartbeat A Woman

Heartbeat a woman
So set the stage
Broken sonnets eco for days
She is more than a moment
More than a page
But there’s no way out now
No escaping
And you masquerade
In the mask you made
And lock the cage
Final curtain
you leave the stage
With echoes of heaven
And blisters of rage
You are more than a moment
More than a page
But there’s no way out now
Heartbeat a woman
So set the stage
Broken sonnets eco for days

Bare walls and empty floors
Paint cracked since the world war was here
Well hard times are back again
Peace gone, can’t remember when we smiled
I lost my job with bills to pay
Bone dry, I cried my weight in tears
The sun sets on yellow leaves
As they take a dance on winter’s breeze for a while
But resurrection, our insurrection is in sight
And everything is alright
Twenty-five past midnight
Clothed in songs and candle light
Naked without shame
Laughing loud at stories
Wash ‘em down with whiskey
Strolling round this memory lane
Naked without shame

Heartstrings
04:25
|
|||
|
Your heartstrings break and your hands are tied
You’re tempting fait in this landslide
And its on your mind
Wondering if the dead still rise around here
Cause you killed a man with a smooth stone
Your stole her hand on death row
Like a chemical high
Telling all your lies around here
Hearts are clean but broken
Spirits right but choking
On poetry in motion
All them empty words your smoking
Remember when life was easy
Singing your songs made you happy
But its over now
And you don’t know how to deal
So you sip your wine and whiskey
To blackout time and history
Then you pick them fights
And fight them all damm night to feel

I can’t impress you with words
You say address you with Sir
Well pride before the fall
The bigger they are and all
The harder it is to let go and let god damn
All your stupid plans
Thinking you’re the man
I can’t impress you with words
Your sucker punch is cheap
Bab’ I turn the other cheek
Well pride before the fall
The bigger they are and all
The harder it is to let go and let god damn
All your stupid plans
Thinking you’re the man
Your sucker punch is cheap
Out on the far side
Past the high-rise
I took a long drive
To clear my mind
And whisper holy songs
Where no one sings along
And the magic is gone
But in my mind
Have mercy
Lord, have mercy
Oh have mercy
On me

Fear/History
05:16
|
|||
|
You tell them folks fairytales
And you fill the room
You tell that old story well
Without the truth
Oh all of your lies
Are gonna be seen
On the silver screen
But you and me
Are history
Well fear its a funny thing
It can pay the bills
But it tells you what to think
And who to kill
Oh all of your lies
Are gonna be seen
On the silver screen
But you and me
Are history

Like Limbs Lost
03:25
|
|||
|
See the sunrise
Hear the rain
Fall on all side
And shine the same
Remember the sparrow
Is on His eyes
Consider the lilies
They don’t wear lies
But all we got is this broken cliche
Like limbs lost fell out of love and phantom pain
But oh we’re growing
The lies we’re sowing
The stones we’re throwing
This time
And I don’t know why
I don’t know why
