Fire drops walls can’t  protect
Filthy water that will infect
Bleached bones in the midday sun
Shots rattle from a distant gun
Into the trailer single file
Another misplaced juvenile
Stench is strong as heads are bowed
Tightly packed no bags allowed

Dark waters to a better path
Slide away from the aftermath
Heard tales of a promised land
Can’t be far now close at hand.

Dipping under rusted wire
Leaving the frying pan for the fire
Slip down to the rugged shore
Face pressed to the salty floor
Push against the currents force
Whispering voices plot a course
Waves crashing as you start to slide
There’s no sign of the other side

Dark waters to a better path
Slide away from the aftermath
Heard tales of a promised land
Can’t be far now close at hand

Dirty bandage fallen slack.
Hands burnt from the last attack.
Biometrics have been destroyed.
The guard looks tired and seems annoyed.
Status can’t be verified
Documents won’t be supplied.
Ushered off to the holding cell.
Your latest twisted living hell.

Dark waters to a better path
Slide away from the aftermath
Heard tales of a promised land
Can’t be far now close at hand.

Upon The Rock

Won’t stop, keep building up,
Until we reach the top 

And when the rain comes 
Falling down,
What was built on sand
Crashes to the ground

Everything we cling to
Will wash away
The only thing 
left standing 
is built upon 
the rock

The only thing that we can trust,
Is what's built upon the rock

And when the wind beats
upon the house,
What was built on sand,
Scatters across the land

Everything we cling to
Will blow away
The only thing left
standing is
built upon 
the rock

All else we seek is 
idle vanity
Everything else
will disappear
Eventually

A pulsing layered rock dirge about being stuck in the eating utensils of giants or unnoticed between the typeset of discarded newspapers. Bat! Bi! Hiru! Lau! We've all been there!

Got To Get Home

"Indigenous" marks a return to the sound of my 2021 tribal/world percussion album "Vibrations Empowered Within". 
https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/vibrations-empowered-within

After a break I had a desire to revisit the sound palette that characterized that album.
For those that have resonated with the album I hope this is a welcome return, and for those that have not experienced the album, I welcome you to some free codes:

FATE  (Two Faced )

When that title slipped into my mind it was all go and the early verse work felt bluesy with certainly blue notes to sing. The chorus wrote itself around the title with jazz chords. Changing key to the variation was natural enough but quite a long journey back to the verse again.

Art in her Bones

Out on the left - she’s made it her home
Some think she’s weird – and likely getting’ stoned alone
But I’m on the hook - just reel me in
It’s the art in her bones - that makes her what she seems to be
The art in her bones - makes a thrill inside of me 

Sometimes at night- she wakes from a dream
She runs to her paint – got to liberate that scene
Then after an hour - she’s layin’ back down
It’s the art in her bones . . .

She don’t deal with accounts and rates and supermarkets
She’s driftin’ through hazy lanes and blocks of colour
And something someone said three nights ago
She put that friend in embargo
Gotta work it through on canvas - then they’ll thaw in a tryst

They’ll work it out – those ladies of rhyme
They just need the moon – to tell them when the time is right
And me I can wait – for that special night

When she gives she’s layin over us 
Starlight curves across her body real – we’re playin’ seals
Lazy floppy as the sunlight grows
We talk of us as forever – and after that still together
Neath the door’s a gentle zephyr

Hey let us rise – it’s quarter to one
In the café - love our whacky talkie fun
The way she sees things – my soul it just sings

ART IN HER BONES

Thanks so much https://youtu.be/9LZOLmIVx34?si=RpJYK-gcX9n-k5kr. Even though you barely hear my riff your drum tracks carry my stuff 😭✌️

[Verse]
Do you read me
The hyperdrive is ready
Lock your foils into attack position
We're gonna blow 'em to kingdom come

[Chorus]
I can see the bloodshed and hear the cannons of war
So bring all your weapons and all hands on deck
I can see the bloodshed and hear the cannons of war
So bring all your weapons and all hands on deck

[Bridge]
Here they come

[Verse 2]
Stay on target
A bandit on your six
The pressure's getting harder
I got a bad feeling about this

[Chorus]
I can see the bloodshed and hear the cannons of war
So bring all your weapons and all hands on deck
I can see the bloodshed and hear the cannons of war
So bring all your weapons and all hands on deck
hands on deck

[Outro]
hands on deck
hands on deck
hands on deck

[Bridge]
Mayday
Mayday
We're going down
 there's no escape
No

[Bridge]
Mayday
Mayday
We're going down
there's no escape

[Pre-Chorus]
Here they come
I can't breath 
My cavalry
Aproaching on speed
the waves of wake

[Chorus]
I can see the bloodshed and hear the cannons of war
So bring all your weapons and all hands on deck
I can see the bloodshed and hear the cannons of war
So bring all your weapons and all hands on deck
hands on deck
I can see the bloodshed and hear the cannons of war
So bring all your weapons and all hands on deck
And all hands on deck

[Outro]
I can see the bloodshed and hear the cannons of war
So bring all your weapons and all hands on deck
All hands on deck
All hands on deck

All Hands On Deck

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
