There are people in the world
They live in reserves and they are fighting again
We don't know the pain
They still have a dream
They are people to kill

No one remembers that this is their land
No one remembers...Indians

For freedom they're fighting

This was the fate of the Indians

Light Years Away

Stolen Land

Stolen Land - Light Years Away (2021)

I started composing this piece purely with the intent of creating something piano/classical.  However, the music had different ideas and I was once again led down the righteous path of ROCK!

Seasonal Irony

You got the power to shape the future
We are the scream of the same voice
Fuck off these boundaries that relegate cultures
Stand up and fight as a great choice

Their tear
 down the buildings
We break down the walls
We die for our feelings
They want dead us all
Let them go
Fuck off to another planet.

Woke Up On Another Planet (demo)

I'm Flying Again

when I water the plants ahead of rain
I think about how little I have done
and having lost many friends for one I gained
makes me wonder are the best times gone?

I gotta say it’s a good thing
that every glen and every crag’s still full of wonder
next time we go hunting
let’s not speak until we learn to speak like thunder 

like thunder
where the syrup’s so sweet
even assassins aren’t willing to die
thunder
where the river’s so quick
even salmon are needing to fly
thunder
where the skies are so laden with gold
even nomads are hammering nails  
thunder
where the grass is so tall
every damnation fails
thunder

when I tell our kids to watch their six  
I marvel at how little I have done
as if a string of words will make the winds 
prop them up and even steer them as they run

we must declare it a good thing
that tiny circumstance can tear our peace asunder 
next time we go hunting
let’s not speak until we learn to speak like thunder

yeah, thunder
where the silk is so smooth
no shirt or skirt ever stays on the skin
where the dawns are so new
not a child nor a man knows the shell that they’re in
where the oceans are vaster
than even the cosmos would seem to permit
where a moment can last us
for all of the lives we have poured into it

when I hold your hand like we were meant
to reach a destination by tonight
yeah we should walk but let’s not pretend
we can cross more than a puddle in our stride

we flash before the thunder calls
before the thunder calls
so let’s not speak at all
till we've been where it goes

Life

When The Streets Were Empty

Oh, you're chained round your middle.
and you've no way of breaking.
Stare in the mirror and decide to keep faking. 
Perhaps you'd care more if you'd a much bigger stake in.
How did you end up owned?

You're like a pound shop fagin, sending others to take for.
Hardly ever get the things that you wouldn't pay for
A string of hankies with nothing on the end of.
Consider yourself well done.

Oh, you need a little something a break from the revelry. 
What you were lacking weren't  attached to a family.
Trap door open up with every man's name on.
Son, you can fall down low.

Oh, there's no escaping, it's all bought and paid for.
What would you even want to escape for?
It's not like anybody is waiting to hear from.
There's nothing to overthrow. 

You're a pound shop fagin. look what you have created.
The thing with women is they're greedy for babies.
Keep your head or you'll get caught if your lazy.
It's not like you didn't know.


Pound Shop Fagin

chill out, relax, unwind. loosen up, laze, recline
