Running Wolf

In my dream
I dream I am you
running wolf

As you run through
the valleys of truth
I see the dew
I see the trees
as though I am you
I see through your eyes
I feel your fears
I feel your heart beating

I see indians dancing
round fires of peace
I see the fears
of what the white man brings
I see peace and harmony
and a place for me

Streets Of Salvation

I'm falling
I'm falling
through
The streets of damnation
everybody watching
nobody catching

Just leaving me
to the rats
and infection

No breakfast
no tea
just heroin and me

I lie down to die
with my last high
then I see
my long past mother
in my minds eye

The Weekend Blues Session

Three days and three nights
playing the guitar blues of life
my mind and body taken back

I can see
the old streets and the seats
where the blues players of old
used to meet

They'd sing of the pain
and the hate
and we'd respect what they
had to say

All these memories coming back
as we played for the times
when blues was our life

We played for the joy
we played for our minds

Secrets And Lies

How can you keep a secret
How can you keep a lie
How can you live with yourselves
knowing What they did

Are you all in a cult
or are you turning a blind eye
You know the secrets
That could save peoples lives
But instead you choose
to live a lie

I've seen good things
I've seen bad things
But i've never seen
a lie like this
How can anybody
turn a blind eye to this

Lies breed lies

Drug Fueled

What kind of world
do we live in
When truth becomes lies
and lies become truth

People selling their mothers
for a slice of a drug fueled high
Thinking it's their right
to that kind of life
Not caring who lives
and who dies

All they want
is the high they will never find
An high they will chase
Until the day they die

Respect to the lucky ones
who now live a clean and happy life
No one but you

In The Words Of Bluesman Jack

From bar to bar
I play my life story
to the crowd

I play for the people
I play for my sanity

I've played
for forty years on the road
with nothing but the blues

I've lived a full life
but a lonely life
The hearts I have taken
The hearts I have broken

It all comes together
in the blues songs of salvation
with the pain and the hate
of a world in despair

Drugs War And Hate

Do I see
What nobody else can see
Is it just me
or is the world going down

The wars
The drugs
The hate
Do we want our children
to see what we have to flee

Do I want
My child to see
The drug crazed eyes
The drug talk banter
of someone who is high
Hiding behind a lie
Thinking it's all fine

Do I want

Justice Part 2

I'm walking
I'm walking
I can hear
The hospital talking

Doctor death
Wants to get
In my head

Laid me on the bed
Put electrodes
To my head
Blasted me
Till i'm nearly dead

They knew i'd confessed
With voices
In my head

Now they was

A Window Of Time 3

I'm looking
out of the window
as I hear someone calling me
A young girl comes to the window
and says i'm your daughter lily
from the year 2033

Your trapped in a coma
thats why you see
images through a window
that looks as real as me

Your in a coma like dream
Inventing the world you see
just waiting to wake up in the year 2033

Did you really think
You was writing poetry
Did you think
it came from your mind

Justice With No Lie

An innocent man
lies his head down to rest
not wanting to wake
to the morning sun

Instead wanting to wake
in a parallel universe
where truth and justice
is number one

In the real world
his days seem like years
they eat away at his
mind body and soul

If a witness would lie
he knows he might die
before truth and justice
Would see the light
but he's got to keep up the fight
