Excellent track, great lyrics and performance in general. Well done! I has to say that nothing would please me more than a singer/musician/songwriter like you could get success, really!

Beautiful track, I could see this in a David Lynch movie

Amazing .... and i get these lyrics :) Love the wailing guitar

Excellent song & flawless performance.  Love the folky & Celtic vocals. Incredible

This song is about political predation I started to see, beginning in the US, around 2000. It got far worse, in my estimation, around 2010. It's a song I had bouncing around in my cluttered mind for years, but never actually sat down and flushed out until 2010. Or so? I dunno. The final lines "don't place blind faith in black snake politicians" is an overt reference to fossil fuel corporations, their corrupt relationships with politicians in the US and abroad, and corporate capture of the US government. I got the idea from the indigenous legend "Prophesy of the black snake." Pipelines and oil trains, the visible signs as literal power is amassed and America literally divided. Americans, literally divided. Political power isn't as easy to see, but t's just as destructive. More so.

at any cost

they will prey upon your sympathy
they will tear our bands apart
and they will break your back, your will, your brain
so they can take whatever they can gain

they'll see you dead to keep in power
you're just opposition to devour
why are you loyal to the cowards?
sweet liberty turned bitter, sour

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

it doesn't matter much what happened here today
cause if it don't make the cover page...
they want you to forget the things they did and said
so they can do it all again another day

when blood is spilled for their desire
and they have all that they require
they'll tell you "freedom's cost" is higher
take honest words back from the liars

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

don't place blind faith in black snake politicians
they'll make you so afraid, can't even pay, pay attention

lyrics

I believe something a little crazy, a little out there
Inconceivable, inconceivable
I believe something, now hear me out man
I have seen saucers flying in the sky, flying in the sky
Cruising at warp speed, changing direction, then disappearing
Can't change my mind
I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

I believe something a little spooky, a little kooky
Implausible, but not impossible
I believe something, open your mind man, truth is worth finding
If you've got the nerve, if you've got the nerve
We will go down the rabbit hole and discover worlds
Beyond your wildest dreams
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

Don't call me crazy, you're the one that's crazy
You could never believe the things that I've seen
A stable form of element 115
Intelligence far greater than our own
They come and beam you up from your home
One way or another I've got to know
Even at the expense of getting probed
I want to look them right in the eye
I want an encounter before I die

jump in and save her
she's the one you've been searching for
every time you fell asleep wanting more
well feast your eyes on the door
under the starlit sky
the universe couldn't tell me why
every time I call and you pass me by 
my love spills all over the floor
yeah in the motor car
yeah I couldn't get that far
yeah I'll take an aeroplane 
to find you wherever you may be in the world
to find you wherever you may be
so jump in and save her
she's losing her breath in the drowning pool
even if I were there would you know what to do? 
I can't provide you with more
only takes a moment just to throw it away
after a lifetime all your searching goes to waste 
cause you think you've been hurt before 
well feast your eyes on the door
yeah in the motor car
yeah I couldn't get that far
yeah I'll take an aeroplane 
to find you wherever you may be in the world
to find you wherever you may be in the world
if I knew wherever you could be in the world
if I knew wherever you could be

Savior

Take the lead
Through the wilderness
Through the seas
Fill the deserts full of acacia pine and cedar 
There together for us to consider

I’ll be there
Cypress trees and mountain air
In the place of mourning an oil of full gladness
A beautiful headdress instead of ashes 

Mountains high
Change darkness to light
Show me ways that I cannot see
Paths hidden from sight
Adonai
Coastlands calling
I will keep falling
Under the trees down on my knees
You’re the Highest High 
Adonai

Vipers egg
Spiders weave and spin their web
Still I’ll break fourth into singing
You are watching 
No more weeping
You are coming 

Holy One
Look at what Your hand has done
No we are not forsaken 
You will Strengthen  
Open eyes up
 Lift our faces

Mountains high
Change darkness to light
Show me ways that I cannot see
Paths hidden from sight
Adonai
Coastlands calling
I will keep falling
Under the trees down on my knees 
You’re the Highest High 
Adonai

You’re the Highest High

Highest High

radiation burns off my hair,
bad mojo heavy in the sun,
where god doesn’t care,

red meat, blood in surplus, so serious 
your heart chose me

Punished for the one I love, buried in the setting sun,
Trust, punished for the one that I love

Bad Mojo

An original song about, well, The Forest.  We drive by them almost every day and seldom stop to admire their beauty and think about the importance they play to the well being of our beloved planet.

The forest reverberates           with sights and    sounds.
Sheltered by the trees,           wildlife           abounds.
Such immense beauty,              hiding in plain    sight.
So very few,                      ever venture       inside.
Majestic, alive and thriving,     yet so easily      ravaged.

No door to enter by, no door to exit from.
Once inside you feel, tranquility taking hold.
Anointing you to the spiritual and the material.
Daring you to let go and dream in peaceful solitude.

The forest reverberates           with sights and    sounds.
Sheltered by the trees,           wildlife           abounds.
Such immense beauty,              hiding in plain    sight.
So very few,                      ever venture       inside.
Majestic, alive and thriving,     yet so easily      ravaged.

Perhaps a bit indifferent, when you first arrived,
Now in awe of it’s diversity, and its abundance of life.
From the outside we give it, but an indifferent glance.
On the inside we immerse in the sights, sounds and smells.

The forest reverberates           with sights and    sounds.
Sheltered by the trees,           wildlife           abounds.
Such immense beauty,              hiding in plain    sight.
So very few,                      ever venture       inside.
Majestic, alive and thriving,     yet so easily      ravaged.

Staring up at the sky, to see those towering pines.
Reminds us of our minute place, among living beings.
Afraid and delighted, loneliness and enlightenment
In debt to the forest, for stimulating our minds.

The forest reverberates           with sights and    sounds.
Sheltered by the trees,           wildlife           abounds.
Such immense beauty,              hiding in plain    sight.
So very few,                      ever venture       inside.
Majestic, alive and thriving,     yet so easily      ravaged.

Sustainer of life, comforter of souls.
In-stiller of wisdom, evoker of feelings.
A world within a world, where life seems to stand still
A sanctuary of sorts, to experience and protect.

The forest reverberates           with sights and    sounds.
Sheltered by the trees,           wildlife           abounds.
Such immense beauty,              hiding in plain    sight.
So very few,                      ever venture       inside.
Majestic, alive and thriving,     yet so easily      ravaged.

LYRICS:

you can't fight fire with fire
someone always gets burned.
i've got this raging desire
tidal waves can't be turned.

ooh ooh...

i could burn down your house
turn your whole world upside down.
don't swim in deep water, girl, no...
there's every chance that you'll drown

ooh ooh...

and you...
what would you do for love?
would you cry for me?
yeah you!
what would you do for love?
would you die for me...?

you can't fight fire with fire
someone always, always gets burned
you'd do exactly the same
if the tables were turned...

Fire With Fire
