shades of candles, books and bell
Drapes were hung from side to side
The windows all were dark
Where was this place a day ago?
Just...

and seen it done,

"This currency of capitalism
is the very venomous root of all evil."

so he joined the one and only...

They say you don’t need one for self-defense,
that this no longer is the ‘Wild West,’

Between the cloud and field (Part2.)

In your dying days
The nights were not enough
For in fits and starts

Gave up diamonds in the rough

In fields sown for us
I hear strangers’ feet
You are now between the...

At least a thousand times
But found no way to conquer 
The battles in his mind

Always walking down that lonely road alone
Followed by the shadows of all he’d seen and done

From swimming in the fiery lake
They'd grown tired of the heated pool
Needing to dip their toes into something cool

So it was out of flesh and bone
They made for themselves a sailing...

From the trees, birds and water even the ground we walk on
Each and everything mankind has created
Has come from the earth itself

October speaks of death, I hope now she can rest,
And lay the soaring bird on down.
Underneath her clothes, only herself she loathed.
We've seen this done before.

Although this is where it started
Many other conflicts, mainly...

If I had a horse,
I ride off and rope a cow.
And when I roped that cow,
I’d write a book to tell you how. 
And if I was an astronaut,
I’d fly around the moon.

It gives you time to think, and how.

The little jobs done, it was time to play

My head spins
I sit down and pull my knickers up.

We said why it’d take all these years 
To catch up over a few beers

We agreed it was family and a little...
