Tom

There once was a man named Tom.
He carried on a plane a bomb.
Then taken away,
Was fed only hay,
And sent all the way to 'Nam.

Rain

It
falls and
brings
life to
the world,
cleansing
God's
creations.
You can hear the
soft whisper
of the
Sav-
ior, who
sometimes ap-
pears in
the
form of
drops.

The Creation

The empty house murmured of loneliness and sorrow.
Its feelings bled, covered, and asphyxiated the divine soul
Of a man who lived for a cured tomorrow.

The remedy for this affliction sat alone; only it could console.
In one corner, where trickles of light could rain through.
It was a magical creation with only one goal.

It brought forth a new resistance, gave the man a better view.
With the creation he could defeat the evil pain.
Long and hard the man worked with the creation, and the magic grew.

The cure swam through the air, entangled and wrapped like a chain.
Soon the house began to lighten and warm.
The man and the creation stopped, but knew the evil had been slain.

The man took a step back; the creation began to transform.
He shook his head - it had been and always will be a piano.
The sickness couldn't touch him; all he had to do was perform.

The Stone Dream

The dream kindled the story's passion.
All the colors crashed together forcefully;
Like a vision of madness,
It told of everything's nothingness.

All the colors crashed together forcefully.
We met where beauty and wreckage joined.
It told of everything's nothingness -
Yet the compassion exploded around us.

We met where beauty and wreckage joined.
Loneliness floated away with the open air -
Yet compassion exploded around us
And the night's sorrow's drowned with the tide.

Loneliness floated away with the open air.
Hidden within, there is unrivaled amazement
And the night's sorrows drowned with the tide.
The dream kindled the story's passion.

Love of the Stars

In love with a satellite.
Like my drug, I can't give it up.
Cannot turn away from the eloquence.
Millions of miles away, yet still capturing my heart.

Like my drug, I can't give it up.
"Por siempre," the wind whispered to me.
Millions of miles away, yet still capturing my heart.
I can only watch from afar; never getting closer

"Por siempre," the wind whispered to me.
I forever wait by day to see it again.
I can only watch from afar; never getting closer
But it's cause for a broken heart.

I forever wait by day to see it again
No matter where I go, I can still see.
But it's cause for a broken heart.
In love with a satellite.

Monster

Mother told me he wouldn't
Mouth the workds he did to me.
Mangled by my inner fear,
My hope is to escape
Man-made reality, which only some
Minorities know isn't true.
Much in hopes of finding salvation.

With One Voice

With one voice, we strolled hand in hand
To where earth meets sea.
With the gray sky weeping bright red,
The time fell upon me.

"I will return in better days,
My journey is not fit for two."
"Do not ignore my presence here."
"My love will always be with you."

On the sea my sun stagnated.
Apart for many moon's phasings?
Solitude was my new disease;
I sat alone, waiting - gazing.

Seasons went by without a voice.
Still I held to your words.
One by one the prayers disappeared
Then everything faded - seals; birds.

I lifted your voice as I sank.
The darkness took over;
We were swept into shadows.
Then, we woke in clover.

With one voice, we strolled hand in hand.
To where clouds meet sky.
With radiant voices singing,
Together we will fly.

Taboos

With the wind at my back, I turn away
Not knowing if I passed or failed the test.
Taboos of this culture are here to stay.

I looked back - all I saw were shades of gray.
We will become just as good as the rest.
With the wind at my back, I turn away.

We did no harm and we did not betray.
Lifestyle choices are all they suggest.
Taboos of this culture are here to stay.

It's different, but only a display.
We do what we do, but noone's impressed.
With the wind at my back, I turn away.

Judge as you must, we'll be okay
Beging the same - what they do in the West.
Taboos of this culture are here to stay.

They think it isn't right - not the Bible way.
But I know now that we will still be blessed.
With the wind at my back, I turn away.
Taboos of this culture are here to stay.

At the End

In the night's silence we woke and we knew
That this tragedy was set for our Earth.
And we asked, Is this a holy break-through?
Are we to be part of a great rebirth?
The sky cried the thick black dust of ashes
That covered the midnight sun. And in time
The only sound was the trees' hard smashes.
Mankind's shaking fear worked as an enzyme
To feed the void. Your eyes screamed with madness.
Screamed not with anger, but screamed with passion.
With the impending fate engulfing us
The children cried - not without compassion.
Before the defeat we made our amends.
We restored our losses at sorrows end.
