Good work Inge, you have captured Paul's lyrical frustration nicely with this song!

Nicely done Inge, the arrangement works well.  Paul

Oh, this is a dark rock song. It fits perfect to Serious Music Germany. 
Nothing for Barbie ears 😊

This is our 7th collaboration. Robert wrote very good lyrics from the real life.

Time Goes By
Lyrics by Robert Stutzman (Robert Audioweapon)

VERSE 1
Visions of the past
I see them but they never last
Was it something that I’ve seen
Or another vision from a dream
 
VERSE2
Strange things come from above
Oft times unexpected like a dove
Sometimes softly spoken in a dream
Where reality is not what it seems
 
CHORUS
Time goes by oh in a blink of an eye
Remember the good times that we’ve had
Yes remember the good time that have been
And you’ll be there once again
 
BRIDGE
Remember those days long ago
With the darkness smothering snow
In the long winter night starving for light
Hopeful for the spring it is for you I sing
 
VERSE 3
And as the rain clears the day
And washes the mist all away
Then in the bright light you will see
That you were meant for me
 
CHORUS
Time goes by oh in a blink of an eye
Remember the good times that we’ve had
Yes remember the good time that have been
And you’ll be there once again

Begin To Live Again
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey/California

(v1)
Have you foolishly trusted others
Only to find out they lied to you
Has life beaten you down so bad
That nothing is left inside of you

(v2)
We all experience it sometime
It’s that lonely empty feeling
There’s no shoulder to lean on
No one to help with the healing

(chorus)
When the clock strikes midnight
It will soon be a new day
It still may be dark
But light is on the way
Hang in there till then
Take a deep breath
And begin to live again

(v3)
For some it takes a few try’s
Before they’re able to learn it
And understand a true friend
Is one who has earned it

(bridge)
Don’t let disappointment 
Begin your fall
No matter how big or small
Don’t let it bother you at all

(chorus)
When the clock strikes midnight
It will soon be a new day
It still may be dark
But light is on the way
Hang in there till then
Take a deep breath
And begin to live again

Begin To Live Again feat. Paul Dempsey

Thanks to Paul Dempsey for his great and wonderful lyrics. 

Let It Come To You
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey/California

(v1)
Sometimes I think you try too much
That’s not something you need to do
Some things can’t be felt until touched
You need to just let it come to you

(v2)
There are things you shouldn’t chase
The closer it is, the farther away it gets
You need to slow down your pace
Or you’ll end up with countless regrets

(chorus)
Just let it
Just let it come to you
No need to use force
Embrace the calm
Just stay the course
You may feel something new
When you let it come to you 

(v3)
Like spring flowers under the snow
Wait patiently for the coming of the sun
They embrace the warmth and grow
Until their time is done

(bridge)
They say
Good things come to those who wait
Something you’ll learn to appreciate 
That’s all you need to do
Just let it come to you

(chorus)
Just let it
Just let it come to you
No need to use force
Embrace the calm
Just stay the course
You may feel something new
When you let it come to you

Let It Come To You feat. Paul Dempsey

Upbeat 8th note triplet beat fantasy adventure featuring multiple overlaying  bass tracks and flute.

There is a place where the echoes ring
From a ballad of voices with songs to sing
Lost in the whispers of the shifting sands
There's a lost world they call Noman's Land

In The darkness there's a pale blue light
As a misty island slowly fades into sight

As dawn breaks though to the tropic sands
There's a new beginning on Noman's Land

The wind carries a secret with a silent cry
From a world suspended where the angels sigh
And in the silence there's a melody that's grand
It's a chorus of triumph for Noman's land

In a ship of dreams we set sail today
To Noman's land where all mysteries lay
The compass spins with our hearts on fire
Lost in the sea of freewill and desire

There is a place where the echoes ring
From a ballad of voices with songs to sing
Lost in the whispers of the shifting sands
There's a lost world they call Noman's Land

The Lost Love
Lyrics by Robert Stutzman (Audio Weapon)

VERSE 1
In the echoes of time the memories unfold
Left in the annals of a story never told
Living in the sunshine dancing in the rain
A memory of lost love not forgotten in pain

VERSE 2
Through the seasons of time emotions sublime
Your image in the sunset of a love so divine
But time played so fast and our song began to fade
And through the sands of time a haunting serenade  

CHORUS
With a long ending bittersweet refrain
In the fields of memory petals fall like rain
Whispers of your name still linger in the air
A chorus of voices of a love beyond repair

INSTRUMENTALPART

BRIDGE
A letter left unread a promise in the wind
A puzzle missing pieces can a broken heart mend
The light ran to shadow and as we drifted apart
Memories of first love forever etched in the heart

VERSE 3
In the still of the night there sounds a distant song
The memory of love now that everything is gone
Stars are my light as I look to the skies above
It will never be forgotten you were a first love

CHORUS
With a long ending bittersweet refrain
In the fields of memory petals fall like rain
Whispers of your name still linger in the air
A chorus of voices of a love beyond repair

The Lost Love feat. Robert Stutzman

Wonderful lyrics again from my friend Paul Dempsey. I am so thankful. 

Hope and Freedom
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey/California

(v1)
Hope is a four-letter word
When people are silenced
Hopeful whispers can be heard
Deep within the shadows
Darkness covers the oppressed
Where the threads of freedom
Are dangerously stressed 

(v2)
Cloudy with a threat of rain
Hope is carried in a child’s laugh
That momentarily eases the pain
Tomorrow is a hopeful vision
Of far better times
Yesterday is long gone
Hope is a day the sun shines

(chorus)
Freedom is a word that screams
Everyone knows what it means
There are no chains to bind 
All the pain is left behind 
Everyone can chase their dreams

(bridge)
Like so many birds on the wing
They all have a song to sing
Hope lives when the bells of freedom ring

(v3)
Their souls long for sleep
Dreams carry them with care
For the waters can run deep
Marching toward the horizon
There are less and less clouds
The march has drawn a crowd
All screaming freedom out loud

(chorus)
Freedom is a word that screams
Everyone knows what it means
There are no chains to bind 
All the pain is left behind 
Everyone can chase their dreams

Hope And Freedom feat. Paul Dempsey

Thank you very much for these lyrics, Paul. So true!

Face It
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey/California

(v1)
They say the eyes 
Are the windows to the soul
But the face is where
Life takes its toll

(v2)
Once smooth as silk
Now etched in deep lines
Each one a reminder
Of the good and bad times

(chorus)
Face it, without much warning
The lines began forming
Some appeared
When you were young
Now they are who you are
And what you’ve become

(v3)
There are smile lines
And lines of shame
There are worry lines
And lines of pain

(bridge)
Life leaves its mark
And it’s easy to trace
Coz your long journey
Is written all over your face

(chorus)
Face it, without much warning
The lines began forming
Some appeared
When you were young
Now they are who you are
And what you’ve become

Face It feat. Paul Dempsey

A big THANK YOU to Paul Dempsey for these lyrics. I love it very much.

Caving
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey/California

(v1)
It’s another weekend
I keep the lights down low
It’s my time to spend
And I let everyone know

(v2)
The glare from the screen
Can be tough on the eyes
So too it would seem
Is sorting the truth from lies

(chorus)
It’s my private time
To reclaim my sanity
It’s like a sudden reset 
And it’s life saving
Truly a safe haven
My time with no regret
I call it caving

(bridge)
When I sleep, it’s long and deep
I surrender, no questions asked
It’s my sanctuary, peace at last



(v3)
A weekend is too short a time
So caving is my way to survive
Coz I know it’s back to the grind
When Monday arrives

(chorus)
It’s my private time
To reclaim my sanity
It’s like a sudden reset 
And it’s life saving
Truly a safe haven
My time with no regret
I call it caving

Caving feat. Paul Dempsey

Impressive lyrics from Paul Dempsey, and I made a Rock Ballad of his words. 

My Heart Weeps (for the children)
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey/California

(v1)
My heart weeps for the children
Their innocence has been lost
My mind curses the ones
That pursue war at all costs

(v2)
Tiny eyes were never meant to see
The carnage of a senseless war
They’re young and unprepared
It’s not something they asked for

(chorus)
War
It’s not the first time
It won’t be the last time
But it’s certainly well past time
To think of a young child
Whose life is ready to unfold 
But now may never grow old

(bridge)
Wars are a pursuit of hate and power
And it brings the darkest hours
Children do not start wars
Yet they are casualties still
And probably always will

(chorus)
War
It’s not the first time
It won’t be the last time
But it’s certainly well past time
To think of a young child
Whose life is ready to unfold 
But now may never grow old

My Heart Weeps (for the children) feat. Paul Dempsey

New lyrics - new genre - Thanks to Paul. His words gave me a new music idea. 

Fog
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey/California

(v1)
The fog rolls in 
As I am looking out
Barely seeing 
The far horizon

(v2)
Shades of gray
Rest against the sky
But all I see
Is a gap that widens

(chorus)
Like fleeting thoughts
I struggle to catch you
I’m afraid you’ll fade
From my view
I’m breathless 
Chasing you

Instrumental

(v3)
I’m lost in that fog
A soupy dull gray
The distance grows
And you drift away

(bridge)
Fate has played its hand
And we both understand
But I’m sorry for our tomorrows 

(chorus)
Like fleeting thoughts
I struggle to catch you
I’m afraid you’ll fade
From my view
I’m breathless 
Chasing you

Caving feat. Paul Dempsey
