This is the only sunrise
Edge of the amber darkness (cut the)
veins of blue mountain water…

A path to the lullaby wind
We're stumbling… 
not knowing the
The child from within

[@4catsncoffee on violin]
This is the flash of madness
Traced in the scraping branches…

A path to the lullaby wind
Sung by the…
child that sees out from within
Gravity, on and on (and on…)
Spots on the sun
Sung by the…
devil behind those closed eyes

Yes, promises chase the magic
breath, skipping the one heartbeat between
Faces and thousands of lullabies end in a single word

This is the only sunrise

only sunrise [ft. 4catsncoffee]

Wake up as the sun rises and stroll the sandy shoreline.  Reunite with your spirit while exploring the vibrant coral reef.  There is a dinner party tonight worth looking forward to. Many friends will gather under the stars to dance or gaze at the sky by the bonfire.  Bring a blanket!

The King was on his horse
His castle far away
He attacked his foe with force
And left them where they lay
They died without a hope
Of seeing their wives again
Oh yes, the king was proud
As he rode on through the rain
He knew that blood was never spilt in vain

And all of his people feared for what they had
For the King would take it from them
And they knew it made him glad
To see the hate in their eyes
As he rode past them day and night
He loved to see the sight
Of death in their lies
And hands poised on knives

Then one night, 
The King was in his bed
And a peasant came
Held a knife to his head
And waited till he cried
“Don’t let the things I’ve done
Hold too much sway
I’ll be a better man
I’ll let you have your way”
But the peasant slit his throat
Chuckling at his gargled pain
For like the King, he knew
Blood was never spilt in vain
And cursing King and name
He threw the body into the rain

King's Blood

Zhao Gao（?〜207B.C.）

Zhao Gao was a eunuch from the Qin state. From a young age, he served Ying Zheng, the future First Emperor, but his origins are unknown.

He was highly trusted by Ying Zheng and even served as the tutor for his youngest son, Hu Hai.

However, when Ying Zheng died, he changed his will and made Hu Hai the emperor, plotting to usurp the country.

He used Hu Hai as his puppet and wiped out all resistance. Even Li Si was no exception to him.

The Qin Dynasty unified China at the cost of many lives, but due to the misrule of Zhao Gao, it continued to fall into ruin.

　　　　　　　　　赵高

赵高是秦国的一个宦官。他从小就侍奉未来的始皇帝嬴政，但他的来历不明。

他深受嬴政的信任，甚至担任他的小儿子胡亥的家庭教师。

然而嬴政死后，却改变遗嘱，立胡亥为皇帝，密谋篡位。

他以胡亥为傀儡，消灭了一切反抗。就连李斯对他来说也不例外。

秦朝以牺牲许多人的生命为代价统一了中国，但由于赵高的暴政，秦朝不断走向灭亡。

赵高 狂牡丹 <Zhao Gao  The Mad Peony>mp3

13 birds circling about a quarter mile high in the sky, I’ve never seen so many birds circling so high, there are no robots in sight.  He’s not too friendly but he’s got a heart of gold, at a young age he fell in love with falling in love.  I’ll be  the first to break the silence, the silence that’s been kept as long as it’s taken the river to carve the canyon, the canyon between you and me.  You bought a black and white color chart with blood money, I’m talk-in money from the blood bank.  Driving up a one way road, cursing at everyone as you go, trees look like broccoli in a miniature world.  And now it’s five o’clock Thursday afternoon and Friday’s in the air.

IPG1 X RiZLiX - Inside Me

Oh, the thought came to me.
Though it may have been a dream.
Am I floating alone in the void?
Now we all have to pay.
For our days with no consequences.
Are we drifting slowing away?
Away.

Now we're hoping to get away.
Hoping to find a way home.
You were always eclectic.
But your dreams were always on your own.
Now you've nothing to show for it.
Nothing but skin on your bones.
Can you atone?
All alone.

Now, the thought disagreed.
Was it part of some strange dream?
Where I'm floating alone in the void.
Now, we all have to say.
That we're happy with our choices.
But that doesn't make it so.
Not so.

Now we wait for our getaway.
Hoping to make ourselves whole.
We were thinking eccentric.
But our dreams were always our own.
Now we've nothing but empty.
Pockets of misery sown.
It's been shown.
All alone.

Now we're hoping to get away.
Hoping to find your way home.
You were always eclectic.
But your dreams were always on your own.
Now you've nothing to show for it.
Nothing but skin on your bones.
Can you atone?
All alone.

feeling of not belonging in country or birth

Stranger in this land

Greetings! Each song is a chapter from the book of my life. I hope you enjoy, dance and day dream to my music.
            Born in Chicago by Canadian immigrants, we moved to Florida when I was a kid. I remember always laughing and playing with family, friends, and our German Shepard.  We would explore and discover many beautiful plants and creatures in the forest or at the beach. I learned to play violin before guitar and was active in garage bands or tackle football with friends. I traveled a lot with my parents and later as a career janitor, working mainly in the brewing industry where I met interesting people.  I am currently working on a novel and enjoy spending my time writing poetry and making up songs. I also have the privilege to teach guitar at the School of Rock, Tampa North. The owner of this location is my dear Smokin' Havanas bandmate, Chuck Roeh
  My wife and I have a non-profit animal rescue that inspires me endlessly. I am blessed.  I have the privilege to spend these precious days caring for the many dogs and cats my wonderful wife, Amy, is introduced to. I encourage you to visit us at www.laborofloveanimalrescue.org
Volunteering time, treasure, and talents is a choice. Please consider volunteering in your community, and thank you for visiting.  Love is patient and kind.
May peace be with you always,
+David
