This song ORIGINALLY was written for Road to Home 2, but was scrapped for a single, but replaced it with "In Her Light".

Vault Jems

Shadows of Goodbye

Shadows of Goodbye (From the Vault)

They say...
Verse 1
Those who forsake the truth of God
Wander by a thousand paths
Their actions fail to satisfy
Their lust that never lasts

The fleeting thrills of life decay
And leave a hollow cry
But hope remains for those who turn
To God who hears their sighs
He hears your sighs

Chorus
A thousand paths
You have known
But peace comes through
Only one

A thousand paths
But nothing gained
Cuz only one will lead you home again 
Again

Verse 2
Think about where you have been
Ignore all your regrets
This is not a judgment of
The times you can’t forget

Just an observation that
Those paths were dead end roads
Some were fun some were sad
But now all them are closed

Chorus 2
A thousand paths
You have known
But peace comes through
Only one

A thousand paths
But nothing gained
Cuz only one will lead you home again 

Bridge
All the paths behind you
Led you to this place
To the path that leads you home
Back to God’s embrace
His embrace

Chorus 3
A thousand paths
You have known
But peace comes through
Only one

A thousand paths
But nothing gained
Cuz only one will lead you home again 

Outro
Home again
Back to Him
To the place
Of His embrace
Back to Him
Home again
Home again
Home again


A Thousand Paths

Sweet poison

(Verse 1) Slow hands, tight grip, yeah, I know what you crave Red lips, black lace, got you lost in the game I don’t love, I don’t stay, I just take what I need Make you beg, make you break, then I watch you bleed
(Pre-Chorus) Oh, you love when I take control Sweet poison, heart so cold You pay the price just to sell your soul
(Chorus) Oh, it’s dirty, but you love this shit Got you lost in the dark while I ride that hit I bite down, keep you right on the line You love me so good, but you’ll never be mine Oh, it’s sinful, but I wear it so sweet Dripping gold while I drag you deep No matter what you do, you keep coming back Yeah, I’m too bad to break, and you love it like that
(Verse 2) Touch me soft, but I cut like a blade Tie your hands, watch you love how it fades Say my name, but it won’t make me stay I light the fire just to walk away
(Pre-Chorus) Oh, you love when I take control Sweet poison, heart so cold You pay the price just to sell your soul
(Chorus) Oh, it’s dirty, but you love this shit Got you lost in the dark while I ride that hit I bite down, keep you right on the line You love me so good, but you’ll never be mine Oh, it’s sinful, but I wear it so sweet Dripping gold while I drag you deep No matter what you do, you keep coming back Yeah, I’m too bad to break, and you love it like that
(Bridge) I whisper lies just to hear you moan Take your body, but I leave you alone Say you want me, say you need me But you’ll never fucking keep me
(Outro) Oh, it’s dirty, but I love this shit And I’ll keep coming back for another hit.

Sweet poison

Vamos a bailar esta noche hasta que salga el sol, dejando atrás las penas y el reloj.

vamos a bailar

Vamos a bailar

You can hold me in your arms forever
Baby
We could spend our days in each other's space
You can stay in my heart and live there
Baby
Or we can fuck this up and go our separate ways

I know what you're going through
I see it in your eyes
You don't know what to do
You want me out of your life
But I won't go
I want to love you
Oh
I don't know
Oh
I want to love you

Oh
This love's a crushed love
It's a tough love
And I'm a loved one
It's a sad one
It's a bad one
I wish I had one
Oh

We can take a trip and leave it all behind us
Baby
I could be the Clyde to your Bonnie
We can leave the world
They would never find us
And we can ride together like a big tsunami

I know what you're going through
I see it in your eyes
You don't know what to do
You want me out of your life
But I won't go
I want to love you
Oh
I don't know
Oh
I want to love you

Oh
This love's a crushed love
It's a tough love
And I'm a loved one
It's a sad one
It's a bad one
I wish I had one
Oh

Crushed Love

ABOUT... THE LONELINESS

This is the final version of a song I've been working on for a while. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Once carved in stone, no longer remains,  
After ruin’s breath and endless rains.
In the hollow halls of time’s decay,  
To dust you shall return one day.

Each wrinkle etched is a sacred hymn,  
Scars speak louder than the skin.  
Through raging winds and the darkest night,  
I’ve been trying to find a spark of light.

All alone, I call your name,
Beyond the silence, remains my shame.  
Memories haunt me, and tears I’ve cried,
But hope survives, it just won’t die.
Hope survives, it will not die!

Tears have dried, yet rivers carved my face,  
Lessons bled in quiet grace.  
Through loss and ruin, we endure,  
The pain for which there is no cure.

Bones will snap, the ground will shake,  
I am the curse the heavens made.  
Tears and blood, the altar waits,  
I feed the dark, embrace my fate.  

The lines on my face are a map of my soul,
Each scar a chapter, making me whole.
I've weathered the storms, faced the night,
Emerging stronger, with clearer sight.

Each dawn erupts, the sky turns red,  
I walk the fire where angels bled.  
Every fracture wakes the void,  
My spirit cannot be destroyed.

All alone, I call your name,
Beyond the silence, remains my shame.  
Memories haunt me, and tears I’ve cried,
But hope survives, it just won’t die.
Hope survives, it will not die!

Hope survives, it will not die.

Hope Survives

"You Forgot to See" es una canción íntima y desgarradora que retrata la desconexión emocional de nuestra era digital. A través de versos poéticos y un estribillo poderoso, la letra nos habla de lo que se pierde cuando dejamos de mirar a los ojos, de sentir el momento, de vivir con presencia.

Con una producción minimalista que comienza con guitarra y voz, y va creciendo hacia una explosión emocional con coros y texturas envolventes, esta pieza mezcla folk moderno, pop nostálgico y una fuerte carga crítica y humana.

Es un grito silencioso a todos los que alguna vez amamos y perdimos entre pantallas.
Una invitación a volver a mirarnos… de verdad.

You Forgot to See L.Rivera

Path of Redemption (Live)

Shadows move across the ceiling
Whispers echo in my mind
Every step I take, I’m healing
From the ghosts I left behind

In the silence, I feel your voice
A signal through the dark
Guiding me where I’ve got no choice
But to follow your spark

I’m falling into light
Breaking through the grey of night
Your touch is like a fire
That pulls me higher, pulls me higher
I’m falling into light
Where everything feels right

Every heartbeat, every reason
Leads me closer to your glow
Lost between the truth and treason
Of the things we’ll never know

All I wanted was to find
A place where love and faith align
Now I see it in your eyes
A universe inside

I’m falling into light
Breaking through the grey of night
Your touch is like a fire
That pulls me higher, pulls me higher
I’m falling into light
Where everything feels right

Into the light…
Into the light…
(Falling, falling, falling…)

Falling Into Light
