Lay down the dust

Out of the darkness
Still comes the light
Out of the womb
Still comes the light
Up from the earth
Spring all the trees
The plants and the animals
The sower the seed
Yet out of the world
Came the rumours of war
Of famine and crying
The desolate sword
Where all the nations
Driven by lust
With God on their side
Return to the dust
Yet one there'll be always
Who's mightier still
And who's fit to walk
The holiest hill
And whose hands are clean
And whose heart is pure
And who heals the bruises
Whose sight is unseen?
For the guns and sharp swords
Of your hearts and your minds
Bring harm to your loved ones
And put out your eyes
And the weapons of war
Which kill men on their beds
Were once just dream
In somebodies head
Little by little
Line upon line
One out of many
His beauty in time
And we all are witness
To the awesome display
That he who creates
Can surely destroy
All of the nations
Risen to fall
All of them silenced
On destiny's shore
All of them shattered
By a kingdom of stone
All of them bleached
White as their bones

Maria
Oh Maria
Over the sea you've gone
You've gone you've gone
And I
I would have harboured
No regrets no no
Not I not I
For I'm
Haunted by your eyes
Captured by your smile
Wizened by the distance of your heart
And freedom
Freedom's voice is calling
Calling out your name
Yet you stay locked inside this cage
And I miss you
Oh how I miss you
I miss what we could have been
Have been have been
For in your way
Oh you saved me
When I was down and had no one
No one no one
For I'm...
And I love you
Oh how I love you
I would have given to you everything
Everything
And I
I would have harboured
No regrets no no
Not I not I
For I'm...

Rusty Shack

Take me down to your rusty shack
Take me out to your great outback
Let me swim in your inland sea
Let me taste of your salty stream
And I will go deep underground
Down to where the jewels are found
And I will look in your emerald eyes
I will soar in your sapphire skies
I run my hands through your dusty hair
While you look with your mirage stare
Upon your face a heat haze smile
Hungry like a crocodile
Blown away like the summer leaves
Smokin’ like a bushfire breeze
All across this thirsty land
With all the water in your hand so
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to your rusty shack
Cover me with your sunset sky
Let me rest my weary eyes
As up above the stars they gleam
Like a diamond studded dream
This river bed is mostly dry but
This river bed will flow for awhile
From what I know of this southern land
Show me that you understand
So Take me back...

Nothing Comes For Free
04:56

Hey people are ya’ gonna’ be lonely
On the edge of a knife
Many people are gonna’ be cut down
For want of paying the price
Hey people are you gonna’ be crying
When you count the cost
Many people are gonna’ be shown
What’s won or lost
Hey now welcome to the jungle
It’s all bought and sold
As hey now here in the asylum
It’s all weighed in gold
Ya gotta be slicker than the average
On flattery fed
That’s the way it’s always been since
The serpent said
In this life in this life in this life
Nothing comes nothing comes for free
Have you seen the color of money
It’s red white and blue
To the taste sweeter than honey
When you have paid your dues
All along the streets of plenty
With the oil and wine
Women and servants
And pride that shines
As always it’s a given
Always it’s true
Men’ll do anything for money
There’s nothing new
Master slave or servant
There’s none that’s free
The whole world’s mother’s milk is
Mammons greed
All of life is toil and trouble
And then you’re through
Running from or searching for
What is true
And then when you find it you say
It’s no good
It wasn’t what I was looking for
You don’t do what you should
If all of life is random and aimless
It’s what it became
As all the world really values
Is sex money and fame
So come quickly help me Jesus
You who paid the price
You wanna’ get satisfied
It’s gonna cost you your life

Where My Treasure Lies
03:55
|

So
Softly will I sleep
Sweetly will I dream
I will wake tomorrow
And I
I will still be here
Longing to be there
Waiting for what follows
Home
Home is the place
The place in my heart
Where I long to be
And home
Home is the place
The place in my heart
Where my treasure lies
Hear
It’s calling out to you
It’s calling out to me
Shall we not go after it?
For this
We shall not regret
There is time still left
Let us not be wasting it
Home…
So
Will I see you there
All this love we’ll share
All of our tomorrows
See
Summertime is near
Flowers in the ear
It shall be delightful
Home…

Over and over
03:45

When the moon comes rising over the sea
When the tide comes rolling in again
When all your chickens come back to roost
And all the seed you've sown at last bears fruit
Over and over and over and over
And over and over again
The wind spins around and the rain starts to fall
Up comes the sun and we start again
Over and over and over and over
And over and over again
What's sown in tears shall be reaped in joy
What's nurtured in love shall not be destroyed
When the autumn leaves begin to fall
And summer's days lie scattered on the floor
And winter's winds chill you to the bone
The darling buds of spring will soon be known

Shadowlands
03:09
|
|||
Should you be wandering alone
Across the great unknown
Far away from home
Uncertain
When you are lying in the dark
And the howling dogs a bark
Waiting for the day
To draw nights curtain
Shadowlands shadowlands
All the world is a shadowland
Every soul at deaths command
Making love in the shadowland
And the darkness covering the earth
Eclipsing every birth
Mining sorrows worth
Forsaken
And where will hope ever be found
Not where every soul is bound
For lying in the ground
Deserted
Shadowlands...
And there's a song no voice can sing
A joy no music bring
Not with human strings
Vibrating
And there's a light shining in the dark
A thief lying in the park
Justifying hearts
Undeserving
Shadowlands..
