Lifesavers Underground
Shaded Pain
Jordan River
Bye Bye Colour
Die Baby Die
Lonely Boy
Our Time has Come
Tether to Tassel
I'm Torn
Plague of Flies
More to Life
Shaded Pain
"Jordan River"
Jordan River
Michael row your boat ashore (2X)
Sister help to trim the sails (2X)
The Jordan River is chilly and cold
I'll meet your brother on the other side
It chills the body but not the soul (2X)
Meet me Jesus in the air (2X)
The Jordan river is chilly and cold
I'll meet you brother on the other side
"Bye Bye Colour"
There is an old man in my backyard
So cold is his flesh it is an ivory fire
He knocks all night to get inside
If you let him come in you'll surely die
Cause when he looks at you he is lying
And when he talks to you he lies
Bye Bye Colour, blue is my heart
Once a maiden so fair and so kind
But for herself she lived for herself she died
The old man kept knocking, knocking
When she let him come in she surely died
"Die Baby Die"
You have been forgiven all your tyrant ways
Now you must be living for the price has been paid
Die Baby Die
In the morning when I call you to greet the sunny rain I
Can't give all to you, I can't change my way
Dream without passion
Cuz you can't afford to pave the way
Christ be your salvation Turn your heart and say
Die baby die
"Lonely Boy"
Don't hold him down he wants to roll in the cinders
Girl has gone away but he can still play
Let him tangle he's a sad case for a smile
Yet he can laugh just like a clown can
and pretend he is a man
Lonely Body gone bad it's the beginning
Mercy Mercy have mercy on his soul
The girl who whirled him
has left his body cold
Don't let him tangle he is a sad case for a smile
He laughs just like a clown can
and pretends he is a man
"Our Time has Come"
I see the movement in the ocean
Angles calling these waves
Spirit of the air is falling
to the tombstone of his grave
All the people run in the motions
The passion of all men reign
I hear the angels call Lookout boy
Our time has come so kiss the cleaver
Your god is dead
Our god will never leave us
You see the quakin' and the shakin' in the earth
Think we'd know by now we're covered under
the blubber of a shinny bronzed fatted cow
The preachers says I'll make it baby but the
Phlegm's caught in my lungs
I hear the angels calling look out boy
"Tether to Tassel"
So long to the good times that I had with you
You pulled a sword from your purse to run me through
Now my heart is bleeding like rain
You hit the bucket of blood that fills my veins
Hello Sorrow, I've known you before
I'm the hurting soul from a forsaken shore
The spine of the sting ray has hit my behind
And ever since I can remember life's been a hinder
Tether to the tassel
Prison to the Bastille
Faint to Fainted
These are related to me
I cling to the faith It's the faith I keep
Though the waves you've made have gotten so steep
To weep right now would be a crying shame
But for that day I pray to keep me sane
Give me no dagger, Hand me no blade
I'll endure the day so my life will be saved
Ahab's beckon will bring me a coffin
I'll reach the sand as fast as I can
"I'm Torn"
This one sings in blue and this one sings in gold
One ocean's near and the other is far
This one sea is younger and this one sea is older
But both have winds that sing me songs which sea shall I sail upon
I'm torn When a sail rips like a veil
I'm torn Like a ship tossed by the storm
This one signs me love songs with a kiss so sweet
She never smiles yet is always on my mind
and the other one calls with a love so true
Taking my heart, making it new
Both have winds that sing me songs which sea shall I sail upon
Lost without a reason Shot upon the waves
Looking for the answer with a price
though I looked for the answer but the answer never came
I've got to make up my mind before they leave me behind
I'm torn When a sail rips like a veil
I'm torn like a ship tossed by the sea
"Plague of Flies"
There's a plague of flies outside my window
they hold me like they want me tonight
there's a plague of flies outside my window
they hold me like they want me tonight
"More to Life"
Steal from the poor give your hand
Keep them hungry
They'll stay under
You are headed for the end
No compassion just get all you can
Death to your ministry it's just a joke to me
And when murder becomes a bore
You'll say there must be something more
There is something more to life
Sink the ship and save your hair
Thousands drown yet you're still breathing
From a lifeboat you won't share
Kick me out although there is room to spare
Death to your family it's still a joke to me
And when you finally reach the shore
You'll say there is something more
"Shaded Pain"
First we find the answer then we take the blame
shaded pain
we put on all the masks and then we play the game
shaded pain
what about love the love we never find
cut by the body and forced to run and hide
what about the human, the human I am inside
how can we be forgiven if we don't live out lives
we throw off all the shackles then we wear the chains
shaded pain
we find out who we are and then we lose our name
shaded pain
