Black doves appeared in my dreams last night
And they came to ease my mind
Dying embers rained down on me
But I didn’t run and hide

Black doves say it’s time to fly
Black doves remind
Black doves remind

I walk around with ghosts on my back
They’ve been weighing me down, down
But they’ll never know what I’ve left behind
Or the wonder that I’ve found

Black doves say it’s time to fly
Black doves remind
Black doves remind

My shadow creeps among the trees
Like an undercover spy
Revealing truths I’ve never known
And bringing them to light

Black doves 
Black doves remind, oh yeah
Black doves remind, oh yeah
Black doves remind, oh yeah
Black dover remind, oh yeah

Beautiful Day

If there is a theme to this album, it is "plus ca change" - history repeating itself, whether in matters of conflict, art, or love.

Envyology

Original of Battle Cry, Conqueror - a version i like very much and inspired my lyrics and melody. 
a  Dubrae Prod. 

SK Battle Cry

a mirror of compassion never found
your voice, it never mattered, shhh! make no sound
To those around you, Envy and Lies
let them hear your battle cry
it's screaming, it's screaming
why?!

in this moment, close your eyes
call your name, the one that hides
tear down the walls you built around you
time to fight and conquer through

now you can start to understand when
the love bombs explode in your land
You don't need it, or want it anymore
no more. just love yourself, and you'll find
they can't take from you anymore, the battle cry
no more

gloves are off i won't be nice
too many years i was your vice
you wanted me consumed by you
keeping me a blinded fool
in the shadows i was fine
but even then you weren't satisfied
then the envy come all your lies
i didn't want to be in the light
my only focus was to be on you
i thought i could love you and love me too
it's not your fault i let you take away
but it's my fault that i let you stay
ohhh.. i let you stay

a mirror of compassion never found
your voice, it never mattered, shhh! make no sound
To those around you, Envy and Lies
let them hear your battle cry
it's screaming, it's screaming
why
