Timing Is Everything

Fears like waves

© 2023 Pantomime Riot

Fire drops walls can’t  protect
Filthy water that will infect
Bleached bones in the midday sun
Shots rattle from a distant gun
Into the trailer single file
Another misplaced juvenile
Stench is strong as heads are bowed
Tightly packed no bags allowed

Dark waters to a better path
Slide away from the aftermath
Heard tales of a promised land
Can’t be far now close at hand.

Dipping under rusted wire
Leaving the frying pan for the fire
Slip down to the rugged shore
Face pressed to the salty floor
Push against the currents force
Whispering voices plot a course
Waves crashing as you start to slide
There’s no sign of the other side

Dark waters to a better path
Slide away from the aftermath
Heard tales of a promised land
Can’t be far now close at hand

Dirty bandage fallen slack.
Hands burnt from the last attack.
Biometrics have been destroyed.
The guard looks tired and seems annoyed.
Status can’t be verified
Documents won’t be supplied.
Ushered off to the holding cell.
Your latest twisted living hell.

Dark waters to a better path
Slide away from the aftermath
Heard tales of a promised land
Can’t be far now close at hand.

Love Will Guide The Way

Literature is a major influence on my music.  As a boy, in the 1960s, I read cowboy novels by Zane Grey (1872 - 1939), e.g. "Riders of the Purple Sage", but no other Westerns until recently.

In April 2023, I'd just finished reading "Butcher's Crossing" by John Williams, which spurred this composition. The novel is set mainly in Colorado and has many highly visual passages. This is one of them. A young man forgets to wear his improvised buffalo-hide eye slits (1870s tech) after a huge blizzard and temporarily loses his sight. His eyes don't recover for many hours, giving rise to much internal anguish as to what his life as a totally blind man might be thereafter.

The piece uses a blues scale to give that North American feel.

I’ve given up the world because
I’ve found something more:
He’s better than anything
I’ve ever found before.
Yes, I have found the Living One,
Oh, how my spirit soars!
I called His name, I’m not the same,
I am for the Lord!
 
I’m for the Lord!
I’m loving Jesus!
I’m for the Lord!
I’m calling O Lord Jesus!
2
I’ve given up the world because
I’ve found something better:
I have found the Living One
And He breaks every fetter.
Yes, He’s the One who set me free.
Oh, how my spirit soars!
I called His name, I’m not the same,
I am for the Lord!
3
And now I’m really happy,
Yes I’m fully satisfied.
I have found the Living One,
And He lives right inside
Of you and me, so come and see
Now our spirits soar!
We called His name, we’re not the same,
We are for the Lord!
 
We’re for the Lord!
We’re loving Jesus!
We’re for the Lord!
We’re calling O Lord Jesus!
