Welcome To The Jungle
O'Reilly was just assigned to our unit, a fresh kid with a fresh smile
All new recruits had been going over to Charlie for a while
Partially due to warring politics and also they suffered heavy loses
A volunteer like O'Reilly was never instructed on all of war's true loses
Raised with the philosophy that to truly belong you joined
Although never taught that war and death were conjoined
O'Reilly entered hell all bright eyed and bushy tailed
And was delivered to a troop that was on R&R, and they only wanted some tail
He had money...

Why Do We Fall
All is lost, hope is gone
fear at the stroke of dawn
nothing there is to focus upon
except a lady from sweet Babylon
did love and joy abandon you?
did mental anguish grow in you?
is strength dead in my head?
why I’m awake past the watershed?
all efforts, nothing was saved
despair, the mind is enslaved
misery, there’s nothing fun to see
eternity, is this how it’s going to be?
for the diamonds in the rough
the search is obviously tough
the soft strikes against the hard
a spark of ember, a...

[ Of Power And Rings ] From Tolkien's Removed Appendix
Familiar with legend and lore
of the One Ring betraying Isildur?
Yes, it loosed itself free from his finger
was bringer about of the King's ruin
only to be mired down in the River Anduin
where he did drown
twenty-five hundred years before
having been acquired by Smeagol
on of all days, his birthday!
Or so the creature says;
who kept the gold band for
five hundred more
until eventually uneventfully
forgetting his original name
And...

Briefly Shift the Curtain
Coming to my senses I this man a father a brother a son
most of all a governor of this distant province
needing to know what to do, to see to feel
should I in intricate words, pompous oratory
let my people know the truth they thought they knew
for to see the distortions in all that I believed in
that I should align myself to this other clan
oh knaves they were or so I thought
so benign, bowing to my words, I who thunders
when I so wish, O that I could thunder now
yet our youth are growing less in our settlements
they follow the...

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
If you could reach across the void, would your hand meet mine, would I be the one you'd pick, to share your precious time
if I were to reach within your soul
would you open the closed pages
so I can read your hearts journey
If you could wrap yourself around me, would your embrace be so tight, would I be the lucky one, you've chosen on this night
if I stood before you hiding nothing
naked in body, mind, heart & soul
would you walk away or stay
Would you lay your head on my chest, our fingers...
if I were to reach within your soul

if I stood before you hiding nothing
naked in body, mind, heart & soul
would you walk away or stay
Would you lay your head on my chest, our fingers...

Ma And Me Pt.2
We spread glue down our palms to the fucking tips
Ma and me on a mission to let shit rip
Fuck a check spot, we need a really big score
We need one with compounded interest like never before
Ma said let's hit the dope boys, the wanna be hard
Let's roll up hard and fast, before they can put up their guard
Let's run through the spot, check the safe and the walls
Clean these motherfuckers out, leave them holding their balls
We took the drugs, all jewelry, and the fucking cash
Ma wanted to wear that shit, but she knew that we didn't...

Galician Melody Reborn
Galician Melody Reborn
When the Beowulf and Canterbury Tales
were being written Acoma was built
atop a 400-foot mesa.
But when we serenaded lovers young and old,
leaving moccasin prints on the dust of ages past,
we had already played our duet for countless lifetimes.
My wife was an Indian Gwynevere
and I her Lancelot.
My matriarchal lover kept me
too busy illustrating the megaliths
with petroglyphs to even practice archery
much less...

In His Beloved's Arms
There was black ice on the bridge
And the night was dark and cold
But he couldn’t wait to see her
Driving all night was brave and bold
He parked his car across the street
Then softly knocked on her door
But it seemed like no one was home
So he sat disheartened on the floor
He decided to go back to the car
But to his luck the car was stolen
So he decided to take long walk
Until his feet hurt and were swollen
He came upon an old shabby motel
But the lobby was vacant and empty
No one answered the desk bell ...
And the night was dark and cold

He decided to go back to the car
But to his luck the car was stolen
So he decided to take long walk

He came upon an old shabby motel
But the lobby was vacant and empty

Ma And Me
We started out young,me and Ma, fresh out the joint
We started running up in liquor stores and robbing check cashing points
Hell after a year in juvie we were out to get ours
We would pull surveillance on a target hours upon hours
We had both been down before so we knew what was
The motherfucking risk we were taking if we ever got caught
We had felt a few drizzles and one or two showers for our pain
But now it was time to go balls out and really make it rain
The plan was laid out, we had cased the front and back parking lot
We waited...
