The River Runs Red

crying

crying

crying

crying

crying

over you

[seemslikeadream]

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands

And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they hurt me so bad

In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns

And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die

But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

[compared2what?]

Sorry if that's a repeat, SLAD. They're very painful images to look at, it's hard to keep track.

Thanks for the thread, and here's my admission fee.

Because man made the motorcar and learned how to drive, and so on.

For soon we will all find our lives swept away












Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again

Oh, life it seems a struggle between
what we see and what we do
Well I'm not going to change my ways
just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud
willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round about
this merry-go-round and around
Well If at all God's gaze upon us falls
it's with a mischievous grin, look at him

Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty
we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Late at night with TV's hungry child
his belly swells
Well, for the price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungry eyes
Man, take a look again, take a look again
Eveyday things change
Basically they stay the same


Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty
we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion
and your cup is overflowing
You seek up on emotion,
sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
going, "Ha ha, ha ha"

(Say, oh say)

Oh look at me in my fancy car
and my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
into my grave, God knows I'd save and save
Man, take a look again, take a look again
things you have collected, well in the end piles up
to one big nothing, one big nothing at all

Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked, don't be tricked into thinking so
And soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion
and your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
going, "Ha ha, ha ha"

Fall back again, fall back again
Fall back again, fall back again

Some say the heart is just like a wheel

When you bend it you can't mend it

But my love for you is like a sinking ship

And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

When harm is done no love can be won



I know it happens frequently

What I can't understand oh please God hold my hand

Why it had to happen to me


And it's only love and it's only love

That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out

Some say the heart is just like a wheel

When you bend it you can't mend it


But my love for you is like a sinking ship

And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

[seemslikeadream]

Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days
One and one and one is three
And the man said, Hey, come and cut yourself a piece of the big time
Armor-clad forces, riding Trojan horses

Never made sense to me
I didn't want to be a part of the great debate on moonshine

Stop, pay the price, they said to me

Take this advice, you're out of your head
I said, Stop, hold the phone

This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red

Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
He always lands on his feet
And he sets his face towards the far horizon

Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?

But his rhythm don't miss a beat
'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving

Stop, pay the price, they said to me


Take this advice, you're out of your head

So who wants a riot? People should be quiet
Don't we give them good TV?

You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction
Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside

All the way from A to Z
I can live without that kind of satisfaction


Stop, pay the price, they said to me

Take this advice, you're out of your head
I said, Stop, hold the phone

This has to be cut to the bone

Too bad, I see red,

I see red,


I see red

[seemslikeadream]

Enveloped in a sentiment, a sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend I have a faith as pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive.
And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.

Pretty bird, pretty bird
Why you so still?

Pretty bird, pretty bird

We've been waiting on you

You go west for the black setting sun

You go south to the white spirit world

You go east for those real green eyes

You go north, walk the good red road

Pretty bird


There's a mirror in heaven

Pretty bird, pretty bird
There's a window on earth


Pretty bird

Some pity me, yeah
Oh, pity me, yeah
Stars pity me
For the blood of the pretty

The blood of the pretty

The blood of the pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Who's starving you still?



Pretty bird

[seemslikeadream]

Well my friend, well I see your face so clearly

Little bit tired, little bit worn through the years
You sound nervous, you seem lonely

I hardly recognize your voice on the telephone

In between I remember
Just before we wound up broken down

Drive out to the edge of the highway
Follow that lonesome dead-end roadside sound


We’re all in this thing together
Walkin’ the line between faith and fear

This life don’t last forever
When you cry I taste the salt in your tears

Well my friend, let’s put this thing together
And walk the path that worn out feet have trod

If you wanted we can go home forever
Give up your jaded ways, spell your name to God

We’re all in this thing together
Walkin’ the line between faith and fear

This life don’t last forever
When you cry I taste the salt in your tears


All we are is a picture in a mirror
Fancy shoes to grace our feet

All that there is is a slow road to freedom
Heaven above and the devil beneath

We’re all in this thing together
Walkin’ the line between faith and fear

This life don’t last forever
When you cry I taste the salt in your tears

[seemslikeadream]

When will my friend start singing again?

Jesus don't like killin'







GETTY IMAGES 21 HOURS AGO
GULF SHORES, AL - JULY 04: An American flag lays in a slick of oil that washed ashore from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on July 4, 2010 in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
The oil spill may have a huge negative economic impact on gulf coast businesses during what should be a busy 4th of July. Millions of gallons of oil have spilled into the Gulf since the April 20 explosion on the drilling platform.










Souvenirs




Memories they can't be boughten,
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs
And i don't know how they slipped away from me.
