A fan song for the silt verses!

Lyrics:

All water returns to the rivers
And all the rivers are as one 

And the current that flows 
To the ocean knows 

It's just waiting for the storm 
That's yet to come 

All water's like blood in a vein
Going, then returning to the heart

One father in the water,
We call you sisters and brothers 

If creatures of the current's 
What you are

When the river inherits the sea
When the ocean returns from the sky

Risen in the water we'll be
Shifted and changed by the tide

All water returns to the rivers
All the rivers are as one 

As you have gone
Return to his arms 

And see what you 
Were mean to become

All waters just fragments of the whole
The Trawlerman of silt and shell and bonee

The river embodies the seas 
And calls them back home from the skies 

Ebb and flow
The current only goes
Until it's recalled by the tide

Return To The River

A Solstice Song

I searched high and low, trying to find 
A little comfort and peace of mind 
Of all the places I’ve been, I have to say 
This is the one where I’d most like to stay 

Tracing over all my memory 
I can’t recall any place I’d rather be 
So many places, so many names 
So many dreams that went up in flames 

I’ve thought it over and I can’t deny 
Your arms feel like a nice, quiet place to die 
You feel like a nice, quiet place to die 
I’ll wait right here and let it all pass by

Search all you want but you’ll never see
A place that’s always trouble free 
This is as good as it ever gets to be 
This right here, you and me 

I’ve thought it over and I won’t lie
Your arms feel like a nice, quiet place to die 
You feel like a nice, quiet place to die 
I’ll wait right here and watch it all pass by

A nice, quiet place to die 
A nice, quiet place to die 
A nice, quiet place to die 
Let it all pass on by

A Nice, Quiet Place To Die

Lyrics for God Willin’ by Trent Boswell 

Devil jump on ya
when you least expect it
with blood lust in his eyes
but you’ll pull through
like you always do…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

Tax man poundin’ hard on your door
taking everything your money implies
without turning to crime,
you‘ll survive on a dime… 
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

The rivers can flood
And the levies break
But you know you gonna do
Whatever it takes
God willin’

Shacked up for love, but it didn’t work out
ain’t it painful when the love all dies?
but you’ll get off the street 
and find someone sweet…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

Until the Lord himself
Knocks you off your feet
You keep on swingin’
And you can’t be beat
God willin’

Screaming Boss Man Jack, ‘bout to 
break your back
all your time out the window flies
you just smile and pick up his slack
because one day, you’ll get him back… 
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

To pay your bills, you need a little scratch
so you borrow from Frankie 
but there’s just one catch:
Frankie is one of them connected type guys

The juice is steep but you better not renege
less’n you want ol’ Frank to break your leg
but you just know you’ll pay it off… 
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

Drowning sorrows, feelin’ bereft
you done lost a friend 
and didn’t have but one left
and now that joker’s runnin’ around town,
spreading rumors and lies

Such a double crossin’ can’t happen twice
because after all, most folks is nice;
at least, that is…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise
Show ‘em a whole army 
Can’t ring your bell
The devils, cheats and liars
They can all go to hell
God willin’

Trent Boswell (aka Magus, of Magus & The Plastic Infinity). Kevin Trent Boswell is a thing which blinked, ever so briefly, in and out of existence. It made noises and gestures while it lasted. The exact nature of its demise is unknown. Some say it collapsed beneath the weight of entropy and time. Other tertiary facts suggest that it may have been destroyed by a predator, an accident, or perhaps even by itself. The truth is unclear. Luckily, no one cares.
