WhichWayToHeaven
If you're reading this thanks for listening to my song (you rock!), here is what it's about :)
The first verse references the counting of Abraham as the founding Patriarch of the three major monotheist religions.
The chorus is a comment on religious persecution and intolerance.
The second verse references Hinduism, bliss and paradise.
A short reflection on the inevitable 
Solo and musical bridge interlude
Third verse references the similarities of religions. 
And the last verse list different names for heaven and faith based greetings 

Lyrics
From the olden days of Abraham
To the stars of the silver screen
The faithful come to share their tale
Of the way to Eternity

And the whip does lash
Upon the backs 
Of those that disagree
And dare to ask
Which way to heaven 		

Older still, a another land  
A different way is found
To reach the bliss of paradise
where deities abound
 
And oh
I long
To see
What 
Will be

The way to heaven
Which way to heaven

Solo
Instrumental bridge

Rituals and temples
Worship and prayer
The commonality laid bare 
For anyone that cares 

And the whip does lash
Upon the backs 
Of those that disagree
And dare to ask
Which way to heaven 

And oh
I long
To see
What
Will be

Kingdom come
Araboth
Swarga
Jannah 
Shalom
Assalamu alaikum
namaste
peace 
be 
with you

WhichWayToHeaven

and then I call your name
and then you reappear
my jungle poison frog

and then I lose control
and then I walk the floor
my jungle poison frog

within the earth release
there is no turning back
embrace the toad within

when the walls are black
when the rain is dry
partake of poison skin

walk into the dream
life before your eyes
shivered on the floor

live without regret
obey the voice inside
from those who came before

and then I call your name
and then you reappear
my jungle poison frog

and then I lose control
and then I walk the floor
my jungle poison frog

# Lyrics

Feeling cold on the inside there’s nothing left to bloom
Fallen seeds laying dormant and closed
There’s a still on the outside, can’t stir the air to blow
A deafening silence takes hold

But I know
Sure as tides will turn, the sun will rise and shine
The flowers will grow, to bloom in their own time

In an ocean of wonder I stay firmly on the shore
The waves washing further away
Breaking clouds in the distance but still no sun will shine
The dusk to darkness gives way

But I know
Sure as moonlight rises, tides turn to the shore
When clouds do part they’ll show what’s hidden

But I’ll stay warm
Keep weathering this storm
Look on ahead
Await my time to come

But I know
Sure as tides will turn the sun will rise and shine
The flowers will grow, to bloom in their own time
Sure as moonlight rises, tides turn to the shore
When clouds do part they’ll show what’s hidden

Weathering this Storm

i reworked this song, I never really finished it when i posted it, i just kind of wanted to move on. This is a better song now.. I still can't get the vocals to sound right.. 
NOTE: I remixed this song, was able to get the pops and crackles out of the vocals

The evening fog had come, floating softly from the sea
and turned the world into a dream, where there is only you and me
when long ago we walked this shore,
and we had it all, but nothing more
not a memory you would keep
but it was everything to me

now time has burned away the fog, and we’ve come back to this place 
the silver sea and midnight sky underneath the milky way
but something’s lost along the way
where the water meets the sky so far away
it’s an illusion of the sea
they never really come to be

all I ever wanted, everything I thought I needed
I hoped to find in your heart     
If all of this meant nothing
then we’ve wasted all our time
We tried to be something we’re not
The same mistakes we’re making
The same bad road we’re taking 

It washes over me 
this is real, and not my dream
Let this be, go and find the one you need,
Who loves you for the things they see
Not what I want you to be
Not what you want me to be…
