 Lyrics:
Band despised
or outright
Harmony in molars lied
Despite rolling motors on the home
Remaining obviance on the roam
Howard road skates like ice
Ours was a simian vice
Like lo-tecs living off rice
Sole bared this tiled piece
The soil buried the deceased
Poor animal
Awakens outside
This is his tomb and his grave, his rising tide
The populace ride
Overdressed and under weighed
Fan blood that is saved
Fan vote Jobraic
Outdoes his life
Mute media heats a knife
To saith:
"Go thou beneath me, little and afraid
Away in some dark corner to stay"
He is a hunter, not a spy
One shadow he pulls under
Poor animal, he cannot fight
There once was a widdle
who goes there for our war
Only my serpent eye
which rolled when hit the floor
Saddle recognition
Like pool like bike
Our service for this peace
Like servants all diseased
Mock of the Mandrill
Hawk of the hand - will
Wait for the stick to be thrown 
and then go after it alone
A search recommended by name
and algorithm locked
Poor animal
that is tamed
then unlocked

Poor Animal

PSALMS – VOL. IX: WATCHTOWER HYMNS – The Shaken Remnant

Synopsis:
Volume IX (Psalms 121–135) plays like a staircase of choir songs for travelers—pilgrims singing under a watchful God. It opens with “Keeper of My Steps,” a steady ascent psalm about the God who doesn’t sleep, then enters the city with “City of Our Feet,” praying peace over old stones and thrones. “Eyes Lifted Higher” cries for mercy under scorn, and “If Not for You” is a full-choir testimony of almost being swept away. The middle stretch circles trust and community: “Like the Mountain” anchors faith in a ring of hills, “Tears in One Hand” walks the path of sowing in grief and reaping in laughter, “House We Can’t Build” and “Belonging at the Table” frame home, children, and daily work as gifts you can’t secure by hustle alone. The back half leans harder into scars and quiet hope: “Lines on My Back” remembers persecution without surrender, “Watchman’s Morning” waits for God like dawn on night shift, “Quieted” is a tiny lullaby of humility, “Promise in the Bones” sings David’s oath and God’s reply, “Oil and Dew” celebrates unity as thick blessing, “Night Shift Blessing” nods to those who worship in the dark hours, and “Name Above the Noise” closes with a full-band choir anthem over dead idols and fading empires. Arrangements are choir-forward—call-and-response, stacked harmonies, and room-singing energy—while still sounding like a Shaken Remnant record, not a worship set.

Like the Mountain | Psalm 125

One foot, then the next. Take one step.
It’ll soon connect, if you just take one step.
I know it looks hard, you’re knocked off your guard.
Beaten, bruised and scarred, but you can take one step.

I know you feel pain, walk one line.
Try it once again, it’s gonna turn out fine.
You’re out of your realm, it can overwhelm.
It’s you at the helm, and you can walk one line.

They know they are wrong, raise your voice.
They can’t hold on long, just make some noise.
Truth is worth the fight, it’ll be alright
Keep walking to the light - and we’ll soon rejoice.

Lightning, then the thunder, clouds and then the rain.
Over, then the under
Strength is found in numbers, least that’s what they say.
I can be a number, so can you.

One foot, then the next. Take one step.
It’ll soon connect, if you just take one step.
I know it looks hard, you’re knocked off your guard.
Beaten, bruised and scarred, but you can take one step

Take One Step

A song about taking chances in life, knowing that your scared, but you know you need to. Its heartfelt , good feeling and upbeat.
