Along With The Thunder

Verse 1:

How invasive—so intrusive! 
I hate the way you do these things
How pervasive — and perverted! 
While you’re out there still perusing
Your intentions — all infected! 
You’ll never stop at looking. 


Verse 2:
Go ahead — Just give in! 
Sitting pretty — loudly vain
Already tempted, so profane 
Now my patience splits in twain!


Pre-Chorus:

I warned you once, I’ve warned you twice,
But now look! You've rolled the dice,
The game is done; your time is shot,
Cause, whether you like it or not—
So begins the slaughter.


Chorus:

I’ll take you round the corner’s bend, 
And strike like lightning, sharp to end.
I didn't come to play pretend! 

I say - I'll drag you round the bend!
Strike fast, just like a Viper!
Watch you stumble, take a tumble,
I will laugh like rolling thunder.


Verse 3:

It’s not enough you stare me down,
You reach for more and take the crown
You’re rude and lewd  - so delusive,
Bold and cold, and so abusive.

 
Verse 4:
My blood begins to boil and rush, 
From heart to veins— too much to bear! 
From veins to brain, it floods my mind, 
This madness grips me in a snare! 
I am not insane!  Let me explain!


Pre-Chorus:

I warned you once, I’ve warned you twice,
But now look! You've rolled the final dice.
The game is done; your time is shot,
Cause, whether you like it or not—
So begins the slaughter.


Chorus:

I’ll take you round the corner’s bend, 
And strike like lightning, sharp to end.
I didn't come to play pretend!

I say - I'll drag you round the bend!
Strike fast, just like a Viper!
Watch you stumble, take a tumble,
I will laugh like rolling thunder.


Verse 5:
The slaughter starts!
Coming left, coming right,
Feel it crash like waves tonight.
The slaughter starts!
Snakes will swipe,
Eyes aglow; set to bite.


Verse 6:
The slaughter starts! 
If I were you, I’d place a bet—
Cry all you want, but don’t forget, 
There’s no escape, no safety net!


Verse 7:
And at last, when I am
Finally! Fully! Through with you,
You’ll pay the price — long overdue.


Verse 8:
My wrath is molten, mercy cold
So I confess—no grace to hold 
I won’t pardon you as God, 
For here, on earth, I see only the fraud—
Your soul and spirit far too flawed.


Verse 9:
The truth is laid bare and plain,
In your soul, there lies a stain,
On either side of eternity,
You are nocent — eternally.


Verse 10:
No more innocence to take
It's not your soul, but bones I'll break!
That's a promise sealed in fate,
Now meet your end — you worthless rake!

When God Speaks

Verse 1: 

A flood of golden promises
Flowing from Heaven's throne.
God's word made flesh -
So that many may atone.
Let this truth ring clear: 
Unshaken from year to year

Ordinary People

Verse 1:
We are Ordinary people.
Living lives we don't define.
We are Ordinary people,
Clocking in from nine to five.


Verse 2:
We are Ordinary people.
Not built for the single life.
We are Ordinary people,
Bound to one lonely lovely wife.


Verse 3:
We are Ordinary people.
Our children carved to match the mould.
We are Ordinary people, 
Taught from birth to join the fold.


Verse 4:
And what is right is what 'we' say.
Whether night or the day.
We don't ask. We demand.
You will follow. Obey the plan
Of Ordinary living.


Verse 5:
We are Ordinary people.
No step must break the line.
We are Ordinary people,
Our smiles are stitched on by design.


Verse 6: 
We are Ordinary people.
We labour on from night to day.
We are Ordinary people,
Every rank on full display.


Verse 7:
We are Ordinary people.
We burn the candle bright.
We are Ordinary people,
On our brows we bear all blight.


Verse 8: 
And all the blight we will bear.
There's no room to give a care.
For all those who despair,
Of Ordinary living.


Verse 9:
We are Ordinary people.
Parade our smiles along the street.
We are Ordinary people.
With practised nods and pleasantries.


Verse 10: 
We are Ordinary people.
We don't like you? We won't say.
We are Ordinary people,
Turn around. Walk away.


Verse 11:
We are Ordinary people.
Preserve order at any cost.
We are Ordinary people,
Not a wrinkle — never lost.


Verse 12:
For a wrinkle or a crease,
Might stain our cheeks with public shame.
So mind your manners, best behave.
Lest we issue — cold and grave,
A warning clear — unyielding, near...


Verse 13:
Silence shall fall …
And you will find yourself erased
You crossed the line,
Now your reward is disgrace.
For daring to disturb,
Our Ordinary Living.

Sisterhood

Stands in the shoes of the lonely and destitute
Is quietly wise, soft-spoken yet astute    
Sows with joy the bounty of wisdom's fruits 
Tends to the heart with words that soothe
Embraces that two, in unity, can stand resolute
Reaches across the silence with laughter and truth
Harbours a love that runs deep, flowing profuse
Offers her light without limit or excuse
Overcomes, by the Lamb's power, all cycles of abuse
Drawn closely to His side - forever her chains are loosed
