RUTH
We are the raving boys
Ride the rage Ride the noise
We are the raging boys
Oh and we love to dance in puddles
Kicking dirty water in the air
Over the refuge less
In this state of despair
I wish your heart was beating
But your heart is bleating
Oh your heart is bleeding
How the air is thicker here
Like a donkey tied
They tied me to a tree
Oh the hooks inside
Oh the pride in me
Rootless amongst the truthless
Without pity for your brother
For ruth's a word that's lost
And the ruthless never crossed
But I won't need for prayer
When I'm sitting by your side
For the air is thinner there
And the view broad and wide
Ride the rage Ride the noise
We are the raging boys
Oh and we love to dance in puddles
Kicking dirty water in the air
Over the refuge less
In this state of despair
I wish your heart was beating
But your heart is bleating
Oh your heart is bleeding
How the air is thicker here
Like a donkey tied
They tied me to a tree
Oh the hooks inside
Oh the pride in me
Rootless amongst the truthless
Without pity for your brother
For ruth's a word that's lost
And the ruthless never crossed
But I won't need for prayer
When I'm sitting by your side
For the air is thinner there
And the view broad and wide

[For ruth's a word that's lost
And the ruthless never crossed ]
Interesting title with interesting reference in these two lines.
It took me back to the book of Ruth, not only the biblical reference but the meaning behind the name itself. Thank you Whale.

I like how the rhyme scheme is constantly changing, yet it never trips up the reader.

Big thanks Johnny B - feel the rhyme must fit the rhythm rather than the rhythm the rhyme

We are the raving boys
Ride the rage Ride the noise
We are the raging boys
being the chorus...

Rootless amongst the truthless
Without pity for your brother
[...]
For the air is thinner there
And the view broad and wide
It's such a burden on the soul
the be among a tribe you don't
belong to, counting the days
until you're with kindred spirits
and Love.
Entreat me not...
Wonderful write, my brother.

Oh Dear Whale.. .
Daggered me so deeply, you did.
Bteak you? I beg to differ, though
if so. .you're more mightier (today)
standing own your own.
Such power and invokative strength
inside this, can feel.. can touch it
.. .makes me look at own momentd
and yell: efff you! to every one of
them. For I have tasted those
metalic hooks and have been
de'rooted over many...
Cant say more, Oh Whale...you
got me but the lift is worthy..so
so worthy.
Inspiration matchless.
