Alight as a kingdom rises

Tired
Sleep is like my enemy
He allies himself with restlessness
In his wisdom, he abandons me
He has handed me over to exhaustion
Oh sleep, why dost thou evade me?
Why, like a shadow, are you absent
From the light of my life?
Why do you stand aloof from me?
In my anger, I deserted you
In my youth, I despised you
In my pride, I ignored you
Yet now I call to you, and your voice eludes me
Truly I have reaped what I have sowed
He allies himself with restlessness
In his wisdom, he abandons me
He has handed me over to exhaustion
Oh sleep, why dost thou evade me?
Why, like a shadow, are you absent
From the light of my life?
Why do you stand aloof from me?
In my anger, I deserted you
In my youth, I despised you
In my pride, I ignored you
Yet now I call to you, and your voice eludes me
Truly I have reaped what I have sowed

The Son Sets on His Home
Maranatha, with my whole heart, Maranatha”
Come and see, the devastation given me;
Blood and oil, deep in the soil
The air reeks of hatred
Come and see, the prayers that are given me
“Let them perish, o let them perish”
“Save us, o mighty salvation, save us”
The air reeks of prayers
Come and see, the rocks who run and flee
“To the mountains! To the desert!
There will our safety be”
But you, Judea, have not seen safety
For it is a swallow, a pelican in the wilderness;
Nowhere to be found
Nowhere to...
Come and see, the devastation given me;

The air reeks of prayers
Come and see, the rocks who run and flee

Money (short rap)
Issa bank tale, from a bank tail
They said:
A strap will rob a bank for a dollar and a dime
See a judge, meet a celly for a minute and a time
But a bank’ll rob the world for a penny or a nickel
Grab the People by the balls when the Suite is in a pickle
Bills, thrills and bloody spills— money kills
Petty chicks with pretty frills
Bigger checks and bigger deals (dills)
Every body feel the chill
Chiiiiiiiillllllllll
Or freeze
Your assets
Or your ass sets on this mattress
In this black dress; just a hot mess...

Valuri de Foc (Waves of Fire)
Dragii mei! Si toti saraci
Asculta acum de mine
Am o vorbe--si voi bogati!
Pentru vremea care vine
O valu mare inca vine, o timp necunoscuta
Ci nu de apa, dragii frati
E focul meu vazuta
Ci nu din cerul, preaiubiti
Sau din oceanul mare
Dar dintre voi; sa va ganditi!
Cu singe mi se pare
Ca jucarii voi toti va teama
De noaptea unde stati
Ci fara cineva cu seama
Voi omorati surori si frati
Dar "va vini o zi
Cand cu alb nori, Domnul va veni"
Si cu toti cei drag, langa El in har

To: my child
To my future child:
May your walk be straight and forward
May your mind be pure and true
May your time be sweet and joyous
As I walk along with you
May the sweetest dedication
Bring your dreams of life in bed
As you rest in the Almighty's shadow
And His wings protect your head
May your dreams be yours to follow
May your talents prove you wise
May your learning always prosper
May the light betroth your eyes
May your life reflect your beauty
May your balance ever be
A reflection of the glory ...
May your walk be straight and forward
May your mind be pure and true
May your time be sweet and joyous
As I walk along with you
May the sweetest dedication
Bring your dreams of life in bed
As you rest in the Almighty's shadow
And His wings protect your head
May your dreams be yours to follow
May your talents prove you wise
May your learning always prosper
May the light betroth your eyes
May your life reflect your beauty
May your balance ever be
A reflection of the glory ...

Altu Vorba Romana
Toate rîurile se varsă în mare, şi marea tot nu se umple"
De ce nu ascultati?
De ce nu intelegeti?
De ce vati dus departe de mine?
Ascultati-va, dragi mei
Plimbati-va dela rautatea voastra,
De la rau si ce-i de la moarte
Asa o sa vine peste tine:
O vaca mai mare, un om mai tare,
Sus in picoare va ridica,
Furnica care adune la vara, are pentru iarna
Asculta la mine:
Cine izbaveste cel ce-i rau
Va fi strans ca struguri
Vezi! Ti-am spus din nou
Acum nu aveti scuza.
De ce nu ascultati?

De ce vati dus departe de mine?
Ascultati-va, dragi mei
Plimbati-va dela rautatea voastra,
De la rau si ce-i de la moarte
Asa o sa vine peste tine:
O vaca mai mare, un om mai tare,
Sus in picoare va ridica,
Furnica care adune la vara, are pentru iarna
Asculta la mine:
Cine izbaveste cel ce-i rau
Va fi strans ca struguri
Vezi! Ti-am spus din nou
Acum nu aveti scuza.

A Palindrome
What are we but dust and ashes
Lightning; as the thunder crashes
A moment here, behold she flashes!
Is life and love just subtle lashes?
Take hold! And I will ask of thee
Is this what love is meant to be?
Can saviors sway this ocean rage?
A drop of ink upon the page
----------------

A Romanian Word
Daca am reusit ceva in viata
Ca soarele care creste pe apa
Sa sti, draga, ca ti-am iubit
Mai mult de cat o fost venit
Cati zorile vine si seara trece
Si inima iubitilor se raceste
Iar focul tau ma incalzeste
Ci fara tine, cine este?
Cantati! Chemati-va toti impreuna
Vino! Adunati-va la mine, voi fara pastor;
Fiindca ti-am chemat de nume
Cu numele care ti-am dat in urma
Pazeste-te! Vezi lacul meu de fier;
Vezi razboiul; pleci de aici!
Uitati-va la voi, la strainatatea ta;
Fara granita, fara mila; ...
Ca soarele care creste pe apa
Sa sti, draga, ca ti-am iubit

Iar focul tau ma incalzeste
Ci fara tine, cine este?
Cantati! Chemati-va toti impreuna
Vino! Adunati-va la mine, voi fara pastor;
Fiindca ti-am chemat de nume
Cu numele care ti-am dat in urma
Pazeste-te! Vezi lacul meu de fier;
Vezi razboiul; pleci de aici!
Uitati-va la voi, la strainatatea ta;
Fara granita, fara mila; ...

Overcoming
I am not, though here I am
I am not, though here I am
I am not a mystery, nor hysterical history;
I'm a fundamentally mental ministry
Overcoming the world
I am the seas to your treasure chest
I am the wall of the fortress best
I am the wicked to the wicked man
I am the flicker of a perfect plan; I am
Overcoming the world
I am
The maker of peace, redeemer of war
The light that's inside
The knock at your door
.
I am
The king of your heart
The guardian flame
I show you my part
And...
I am not, though here I am
I am not a mystery, nor hysterical history;
I'm a fundamentally mental ministry
Overcoming the world
I am the seas to your treasure chest
I am the wall of the fortress best
I am the wicked to the wicked man
I am the flicker of a perfect plan; I am
Overcoming the world
I am
The maker of peace, redeemer of war
The light that's inside
The knock at your door
.
I am
The king of your heart
The guardian flame
I show you my part

An Oracle
For they have not rejected thee but they have rejected Me"
-------------------------------------------------
O nation, hear! and witness Earth,
A worth far more than gold of old:
A merchant sold his finest wares
To those afar, across the sea
Where none are blind and all can see
The delicacy of thy tares;
See! O country bathed in arms
Alarms from all thy corners, bare:
A sword is promised from afar
A truth, a truth and not a dare!
See! The powerless wield their weapons,
The powerful shriek in pain;
Thy gold and thy...

13 heroes died for thee
A tearful eye cannot explain
What sacrifice you gave for me
Nor can a country entertain
Why 13 heroes died for thee
A broken People may endure
And proudly boast that they are free
But this, I cannot be so sure,
Why 13 heroes died for thee
Men of arms! O, men attuned
A somber song and solemn plea;
That I was not the one who died
For 13 heroes died for me
My tears are blood, who weeps for me?
This torrent flood; who keeps me free?
Who knows the way that we must go
When death is all we...
