World Gone Wild

Bad Blood

Trap

Run And Hide

Bloodstained

These times they test your patience, these times they test your will.
These days you start to wonder if we can climb that hill.
Seems like the levee's breaking, seems like the die is cast,
like today's fading sunset might just well be the last.

But I keep hoping and I keep praying.

Those vultures circle closer, that river's running red.
Those bombs fall from the heavens on fields of smoke and lead.
Some dark portents are looming over earth so choked and strained,
some hollow haunted feeling in the hearts of the tired and pained.

But I keep hoping and I keep praying.

(C) There is the wind, there is the sun, there is the rain.
There is the spark of life, the womb, there is the grain.
There is the will to grow, forever, evermore.
The spirit and the word, the world will be restored.

Illusions cannot blind you, mere shadows can't obscure
the hearts of those committed, when the will and thought are pure.
Those lies that power's speaking are speeches to an empty room,
their folly and their flavor are dust in an abandoned tomb.

So I keep hoping and I keep praying.

There's not one wave that can submerge the will to be.
There's not one war that can consume a soul that's free.

Lyrics: Mag Navarra

I’m coming to the shore...
I’m barefoot cause I’m not afraid
To lose my track no more,
Since I’m not coming back
So you don’t need to wait alone.

I can’t stand!
Tears be damned on my face.
Wait for me!
While you sleep
Inside your grave.

I’m digging a perfect hole,
So when it comes to tide at dawn
We can both lay inside
Upon a lacy foam
Like a veil for my beloved bride.

I can’t stand!
Blood and sand on my hands.
Wait for me!
I will be
Inside my grave.

And even if I sway
From countless nights of stray and roam.
I could not break my vow.
Until we both can’t breathe.
I’ll pray and hold a wreath and bow...
Amen!

Seagulls cry upon my head
Singing masses for the dead.
You are dead and I am dead!
Libera me, Domine!
Libera me, Domine!

Why didn't you wait for me?
Kyrie Eleison!
Wait for me!
We will be
Inside one grave.
Requiem aeternam
Dona eis Domine.
Et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Amen.

MUSIC FOR THE THINKING FEW.

(UPDATE: 12/9/2025-I am dropping down my activity on here as life is taking me in other directions and the world is ending, basically. I have stopped reposting as there is just too much AI slop to wade through now and I don't want to elevate it or promote it. The songs on here are 2-3 songs per my current 11 albums, which are available on other venues like Bandcamp and Youtube for free listening or purchase.) 

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter/cultural relic with a diverse and "arty" array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the current culture...

but none of that really matters anymore, frankly.
