Written by Edward Mahon and Travis Scarborough for a girl named Yoga in 1996 in Atlanta Georgia.  Travis came up with the guitar lick and Edward coached on the melody for the lyrics.  She was seated on a bar stool one mic on guitar another on her.  We had to leave the apartment while she recorded as she was terrified to sing in front of us.  She left Atlanta the next day never to be heard from again.

Rebirth

Goodbye Brother 
 Know no other 
 Just this minute I got the call


Goodbye Brother 
 Became another 
 They pushed you up against the wall


On the phone the war department 
 Tried to lend an explanation 
 A bomb was in a glove compartment 
 Join the sad and sorry nation


Goodbye Brother 
 Life light smothered 
 I hope they didn’t make you crawl


Goodbye Brother 
 I’ll tell Mother 
 You didn’t feel a thing at all


Now that your among the answers 
 Can you lend an explanation 
 To this world we’re like a cancer 
 Creating our own desperation.


Goodbye Brother 
 Like no other 
 Wonder if you can still recall


Goodbye Brother 
 Future smothered 
 Unlucky you your time to fall


On the phone the state department 
 Lied when lender explanation 
 Straight from their deceit assortment 
 Fed to sad and sorry nation


Goodbye Brother 
 Now you hover 
 Catch you later down white light hall


Goodbye Brother 
 I’ll tell Mother 
 You didn’t feel a thing at all


Now that your among the answers 
 Can you send us our salvation 
 To this world we’re like a cancer 
 Continue on our tribulations


Goodbye Brother 
 I’ll tell Mother 
 That now your walking proud and tall


Goodbye Brother

I wanna to face Goliath
Become Goliath
And murder David 
I wanna grab the world
Destroy the world
And then want to save it
I am an honest man
I am a truthful man
I am a fucking liar
I am a political pawn
On the White House lawn
Setting a cross on fire
I am a loving son
I care for everyone,
I don't care anymore
I am an atheist
I am an evil guest
I am the almighty lord
I wanna help all the children
Love all the children
Then beat all the brats
I wanna spread so much love
I wanna release the white doves
And then feed them to rats
I wanna make you feel pain
Make it to pour acid rain
And then hold you so tight
I want you to be mine
I want our love to shine
And then turn out the light

Golieth

An unsettling anticipation 
 Shadowed in warped motive 
 From a deranged imagination 
 Blood will shed at the Dakota 
 A poison mind, caught in the Rye 
 Became encaged, within it's pages 
 Will release a spirit into the sky 
 That will forever change the ages 
 Hollow points, cocked and cold 
 Waiting ready, inside a barrel 
 As dark destiny's about to enfold 
 It's infamy that will mark the hour 
 Shot's ring out from Hells bells, 
 As led tears into his heart 
 He falls bleeding into a stairwell 
 Lies face down, dying in the dark 
 A champion of peace in pieces 
 As this hate infiltrates the night 
 And His last fragile breath releases 
 Flowing softly as it dims the light

Lennon

Can you call yourself a poet 
 Without bearing inner soul 
 Without exercising demons 
 That start to take their toll 
 Naked, venerable, defenceless 
 Inside our minds and heart 
 Derived by our mixed emotions 
 Conceived by the untold spark 
 We must let go of everything 
 All of our regret, hopes, and dreams 
 Release all our inhibitions 
 For the whole wide world to see 
 Our brightest blessed memories 
 Our darkest and guarded fears 
 Our only immortality 
 That exists beyond our years 
 So These words born of truth 
 Can expose our humanity 
 Come alive inside our minds 
 Until we choose to set them free

Edward Mahon
