My latest sun is sinking fast
My race is nearly run
My longest trials now are past
My triumph has begun

Oh come angel band
Come and around me stand
Bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Bear me away on you snow white wings
To my immortal home
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/stanley_brothers/angel_band.html ]
Oh bear my longing soul to him
Who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sins
And brings me victory

[chorus]

I know I'm near the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear
I brush the dew on Jordan's banks
The crossing must be near

I've almost gained my heavenly home
My spirit loudly sings
The holy ones, behold they come
I hear the noise of wings

Rounded Up

Well the labour boys
And the Tory men
Can’t stop spending the money that doesn’t belong to them
The real crooks seem to be the ones that run us
And even though we’ve got no dough 
The M P still will steal from us

And the anti social behaviour orders
Handed out to every hooded kid stood their street corners
Ever thought to why they might not be compliant
While the entertainment system
Teaches them to be defiant

And new disease’s cause worldwide pandemics
Vaccine’s are given out and taken because there’s such a panic
Ever stopped to ask what you could be taking
Ever thought how many laws 
Their makers could be breaking

As it seems the earth is breaking up
Hurricanes and earthquakes have got us all shaken up
So is the world environmentally unstable
Or have the dogs rounded us up
Right in to the stable

So in this world were told what’s right and wrong
In every news report the wars still carry on
What shall we do with all the mistruths and faked facts?
Try and think for yourselves
Get the whip marks off your back 


Rounded Up

The man outside the window
He sits and stares
At the chairs
They’ve emptied again

As the ginger cat 
Walks past the bin
The man whistles 
Into the wind
A song that he 
Used to know

What a waste
He makes
His failing grace
Fails again

The people of 
This town he thinks
Would benefit 
From a couple more drinks
As he raised his glass

He doesn’t fit in here or there
His face is plain
He’s lost his flare
Discontent, belligerent 

What a waste
He makes
His failing grace
Fails again

He justifies 
All of his sins
Again he whistles 
Into the wind
That song 
He used to know

Onto the next town it seems
Holds different types of dreams
Into the sun
He sets

But this town has soon become
Just like all the other one’s
But he will stay the same
What a waste
He makes
His failing grace
Fails again



The Man Outside The Window

The blue moon shines down and it sees
All the people and all of their deeds
When the clouds form veil
Well the devils black tail
Casts it self onto meek

A body lie’s here in the road
How he got there only one knows
As he lay in the dirt
With a ripped bloody shirt
The blue moon looks down unbeknown 

The mist and the fog covers up
Any trail of the serpents and such
With a gun in their hand
Killed an innocent man
No thought of remorse
From the suffering caused
the lie’s that are spread
To inflict so much dread
The devil needn’t even show up

They’re unable to think from the point
Of their victims who views they disjoint
 But the moon sees them all
When the cloud it does fall
They can’t hide from his eyes
All the sneaking and lies
He thinks for himself
Not for anyone else
A scarcely different viewpoint

The injustice that I speak of here
Happen all night and all day everywhere
And moon it cant speak
For downtrodden and the weak
Let the veil fall away from your stare

Libraians daughter

It turned out for the worst
Another scene unfolds 
That was well rehearsed
And as the curtain lifts
The stage is set
The script’s not finished yet

You thought this show was done
But from looking at you it’s only just begun
This Tragedy revolves 
Around a another hero 
Who suffers all alone

This tale of suffering 
Combination's of human and divine tiring
The broadness of his shoulders
Will in the end decide?
The learning of his lines 

You thought this show was done
But from looking at you it’s only just begun
This Tragedy revolves 
Around a another hero 
Who suffers all alone

The curtain has fallen down
The bow has been made
Your know were to be found
His real tragedy of life
Is his fear of the light

And still this story stays
The outcome of this life seems delayed
The gateway to the end
Is the path he takes
Finished with heartaches

You thought this show was done
But from looking at you it’s only just begun
This Tragedy revolves 
Around a another hero 
Who suffers all alone
