Lullaby

You didn't have to say it; I saw it in your eyes
I guess I'll be going now to roam under weeping skies

A dull glow of traffic lights reflecting from the street
A heaviness in my heart that sinks down to my feet

I think it's going to rain forever
No more the sun, those happy days are over

An Endless Rain

A prelude in open D in which my more avant-garde influences are evident.

Hymn to a Desolate Landscape

For Francis Scott Key ("The Star Spangled Banner") and Chris Cornell ("4th of July")

Oh, did you see on wings of steel ,
By earliest light of day,
Tomorrow crashing headlong through
The pillars of today?

And now the fife and drum resound
Above the cries of woe
"Be assured," they tell us all,
"We shall repay the foe."

We hear a tragic idiot’s tale
Of losses without gain;
"Remember D.C. and New York,"
(Not Dallas or the Maine)!

In dreadful darkness and despair
Comes my recurring dream:
I smell a million shallow graves;
I hear an eagle scream.

Night after night in fitful sleep
I search the deepening dark
While others freedom's vigil keep
With Chinese flame and spark.

I strain to see through rocket smoke
And shiver in the cold
'Til finally, the sky grows red
As in the song of old.

And then I see in letters large
The curse on our fair land:
"Destruction," written everywhere
As if by God's own hand!

L. Harvey Osmond
