1. With Apache Blood
The creator today took my father home
No longer the land will we freely roam
Straight to San Carlos made of ash and stone
With the soldiers they will send
So with Geronimo I choose to ride
And lead the others free to the mountainside
The one they call general has spoken lies
When they come we will rise again
Some of us each day are hunted down
We bury the dead in the mountain ground
They torture the young and the old they found
And I struggle to understand
How one can lay claim to another's home
Something that man he could never own
Now the creators gift lies in the hands of those
Who will rape my eyes before I see it go
As the summer moon shows armies drawing near
My spirit love overcomes the awe in ear
I look down on where we once could hunt and grow
Father blind my eyes before I see it go
Black out all my emotions with silence
Bury them all with the summer dead
You and I climb onward to "No Fence"
They would be surprised what the wolf has said
And the signs they read
2. Beyond Anger
It seems around us all
These days institution reigns supreme
So watch your rights and the laws my friend
Because nothing lies between
I won't stand for the golden plan given
Or the promises they're handing me
I'm gonna rise like the new sun
And hand them back some authority
The womb it brings you life but then
It's theirs you live instead
The standards and restrictions
They will drive into your head
Now your thinking they forgot some things
About living out on your own
So...living hand and hand with the leaf
Is something I condone
We owe it to ourselves
Overthrow this prescribed hell
Locked in our dissolving home
Life it ends and no longer outweighs gold
Outside the circles spoken down to
Safely uninformed living blind
And though one can rise with just a blessing
Still the level of which they decide
3. Too Far Gone
Your history is amazing on a south bound glide
Your health it seems to be fading you took it all in stride
Your disguise I see through to a shameless fiend
Your cold heart divides you and your kind from me
The precious tiime you wanted for your fortune plans
A domicile left haunted and a souless man
Deceptive schemes black halos crush the hand that feeds
I spit on all you stand for and your corporate dream
Stand tall give 'em hell
Your friends fall so you wish 'em well
You didn't mind
So keep goin your doin fine
In the home of the brave and the dollar sign
What did you find
Will your cash flow be around
When your final judgement is handed down
Soon you will know
A gold addicted mental slave
Just keep a silent laugh and the profit is saved
Soon you will know
Ain't gonna be your victim or your nurtured seed
I won't lie there waiting while your vultures feed
Above this all like you man I question all you say
Above this all like you man still for your soul I'll pray
4. Pint of Love
I know that I can't win no more
You sit upon my dresser drawer
Morning light shines through prism eyes
Your amber glow gives me strength to rise
Reaching over I caress your neck
I pull you near and now you're on deck
Lying back with my tongue in your hole
I control the love you flow
And I do it slow
You clear my mind of things unkind
Yeah you know I need you
I lose my soul when I pay the toll
You know I believe you
A pint of love is what I'm thinking of
When I see you
A toast to us yes of loneliness
I will never leave you
A week in bed here now I still lie
Love sunk so low our bodies dry
I guess it's time to find a way
To get you back with me now here to stay
Gonna do it today!
5. Seek the Truth
What I do who's to say, their perfect image I shall not stay
Nothing but truth to bear, telling inner thoughts but they do not care
Seek the truth, seek the truth, nothing is all I see
Seek the truth, seek the truth, the simple truth for me
Every minute of every day, I can not close my eyes
Uncontrollable pressure now is torn apart by lies
Trying to persuade me trying to kill me, will the end ever start
Always near me forever near me and ripping my soul apart
Are you with me, I know your with me, I see you ever day
Do you feel it, I know you feel it, and with you it will stay
Don't you listen, please don't listen, to the words they speak
Do you here me please god here me, the truth we need to seek
Seek the truth, seek the truth, nothing is all I see
Seek the truth, seek the truth, the simple truth for me
Seek the truth, seek the truth, are you listening to me?
Seek the truth, seek the truth, are you trying to see?
Truth!
6. Thoughts of Misconception
On the edge one stands no choice but to play their changes
Each thought it screams as the future lures and dances
What's to find in something so close denying
The fact you can see that its all someone's evil hoax you're buying
Never safe from the wind
Changes blowing again
No kingdom lies beyond the threat of ruin
It seems less like life and more like time you're doin'
Familiar times and places in the distance
You pray god and mankind may lead their assistance
Never safe from the wind
Changes blowing again
Well I'm always looking tricked by misconception
You thought you had it then missed your connection
Just one plea if it is me
Then can I feel the way I felt before
And so now I'm running in my own direction
And all my options weighed with close inspection
Still one plea if it's me
Then can I glide on wings I had before
7. In a Bit of Jam
8. Blindside
Even a spirit strong eventually fades
And the cloud above my head got darker each day
With no reason to change
Like a godsend coming down answered my pleas
Now I hold the wind and sun and the love from a queen
With the cold shadows gone
And the stregth to go on
Spirit glows, inside
I got no, blindside
And when she fly each day
Still as one we stay
I spend a decade traveling on a road of dismay
My head and hands full of shallow dreams I found on my way
Lived a lifetime each day
Then I found the one I knew was searching the same
My troubled days were through losing the worlds game
I no longer will hide
With an angel beside
Still as one, we stay
Evil washes away
Evil washes away
Forever feelings they stay
Yes evil washes away, unchained yeah, unchained yeah
Unchained yeah, unchained and skyward bound
9. After the Storm
Rain pouring down my face
But there's still a smile on my face
Rain pouring down my face
But there's still a smile on my face
There's always the quiet after the storm
Puddles in the streets with rain
All go rolling down the drain
Puddles in the streets with rain
All go rolling down the drain
There's always the quiet after the storm
Here it comes again
Rainbow in the sky
Soon the rain will turn to dry
Rainbow in the sky
Soon the rain will turn to dry
There's always the quiet after the storm
10. Closure
11. Chapter 9
Forty years of sorrow felt
And the last one kind of numb
Watching corruption like a disease
Until the working day is done
Happiness lies in alcohol for this
Lonely abuse man he said
The law was the last thing I had to believe
So you can blacklist me again
Completely confident completely insane
Complete dedication and completely insane
Born a son of the military
Tried to make his father proud
His childhood spent in submission
Til the anger made him scream aloud
This boy never could quite measure up
In education for his old man
And the price that he paid was a piece of his soul
Another thing he couldn't understand
So this internal shadow he carries
Grows with each passing year
And losing his wife to his only friend
Left his spirit swimming in his tears
He became a man of the law so
He could salvage just a little pride
But the evil he saw he took his badge and his gun
On a one way lethal ride
Was he wrong? Now he's gone
Six others and then himself
And the dark road he was on
Was a painful endless cry for help
We must realize deep in our eyes
Lies the window to our soul
We can help those who have capsized
Before the evil it takes control
