Turbulent Flow
when the war is over
carry me back home upon your shoulders
when the war is over
i will carry you home
and if you brave the water
i will carry you back home upon my shoulder
if you brave the water
i will carry you home
and when the wind blows i will be a shelter
cover you from the cold
and when the sun goes
pull you from the shadows
never leave your older heart
alone
when the war is over
carry me back home upon your shoulder
when the war is over
i will carry you home
and if you fail and falter
i will carry you back home up my shoulder
if you fail and falter
i will carry you home
and when the storm grows i will calm the quarrel
feather you from the foe
and where the road goes
see you on your travels
never leave your younger heart
alone

The Alms of Harvest
mourning
was taken from us
we never
got to grieve
we moved on
the guns still pounding
for the distance
we made our leave
can’t go back
nothing’s as it was
can’t go back again
nothing’s as it was
winter
season of our sadness
empty fields
and bare trees
we belong
in the alms of harvest
and in the homeland
of our families
can’t go back
nothing’s as it was
can’t go back again
nothing’s as it was
where did they go
where did they go
were the days of love a lie
a lie
where did they go
where did they go
were the days of love a lie
was it always this way
can’t we ever break from change
it’s pulling us from the want to stay the same
it’s pulling us from the want to stay the same
can’t go back
nothing’s as it was
can’t go back again
nothing’s as it was
can’t go back
nothing’s as it was
can’t go back again
nothing’s as it was

time is a soldier marching along
from younger to older
from the weak to strong
luck be a lady
with offers to show
when you’re dry as the navy
and you’re high
but your self-esteem is low
tear it down
build it up again
tear it down
and build it up again
tear it down
build it up again
tear it down
and build it up again
sharp as a shoulder and soft as a yawn
dumb as boulder
tough as a funeral song
lie with the lazy
and rise with the sun
cry like the crazy
and laugh when the working day is done
tear it down
build it up again
tear it down
and build it up again
tear it down
build it up again
tear it down
and build it up again

Good Soldier
hey there mister
brother don’t you know
the smell of victory
is sweeter with
a bloody nose
armed and ready
should we disagree
the cage of freedom
we all become
the enemy we own
hey don’t you know
it’s real too real
hey don’t you like the way it feels
take it slow
it’s on the heal
though you may not like the way it goes
but it’s all we know
it’s all we know
hey there sister
darling don’t you know
the space of history
will turn the lens
a shade of rose
moving pictures
of our memory
faded heroes
will only lead
the armies of the old
hey don’t you know
it’s reel to reel
hey don’t you like the way it feels
we’re playing roles
with scenes to steal
so sit right back enjoy the show
cause it’s all we know
it’s all we know
it’s all we know
it’s all we know

October Surprise
when the chips are down
and your feet are on the floor
the cards are on the table
and the heavy’s at the door
will you let it ride
feed your fortunes to the flame
will the odds be in your favour
are you the player or the game
loose in revolution
the wheel is in control
spinning an illusion
it’s a wager on your soul
you better, make it count boy
you better, make it count boy
hey where are you coming from
giving voices to the voiceless
noises to the noiseless
hey hey where are you coming from
giving voices to the voiceless
choices to the choiceless
when the ship goes down
and the pirates on the shore
the lifeboat’s drifting empty
and the wind and sea’s at war
will you take your bow
pray the final frame
burning down the temple
into the ashes of a name
it’s a deal of desperation
the taming of the troll
surrender to temptation
to fill the empty hole
you better make it count boy
you better make it count boy
hey where are you coming from
giving voices to the voiceless
choices to the choiceless
hey hey where are you coming from
giving voices to the voiceless
noises to the noiseless
hey where are you coming from
giving voices to the voiceless
choices to the choiceless
hey hey where are you coming from
giving voices to the voiceless
noises to the noiseless
choices to the choiceless
noises to the noiseless
you better make it count boy
you better make it count boy

The Lesser Crime
a painted face along the roadside
fathers of the revolution
the strangest place
that walks a fine line
between a mess and a solution
it stands tall
the writing on the walls
of yesterday
what if loving was the key to our survival
what if loving was the key
what if loving was the key to our survival
what if loving was the key
in the aging waste where the soul dies
the victim finds retribution
the guilty pays
for the lesser crime
and spends a life of institution
the rebel call
is in the shopping malls
and on replay
what if loving was the key to our survival
what if loving was the key
what if loving was the key to our survival
what if loving was the key
what if love
