Symphonic Tales

No Man's Land (Symphonic Version)

7in7, Session 4 - Day 2

VERSE 1:
“This is a dictatorship. It’s not a democracy.”
Those are the very words my, quote, “pastor” would say to me
At every staff meeting, every opportunity
It was an unstable kingdom for me

VERSE 2:
Well I moved to Haiti just after the turn of the century
And I saw tires burned, busses flipped, heard gunshots aplenty
I saw election fraud that led to a coup d’état when I was only twenty
It was an unstable kingdom to say the least

CHORUS 1:
Well I know a thing or two about a lust for power
Oh this is nothing new, the unjust devour
Everything in sight like its their birthright
From their first breath to their final hour
Unstable kingdoms and kings

VERSE 3:
There was a Chief Exec who saw the writing on the wall
Tough times ahead, someone would to take a fall
Set his predecessor up so he could say “HE dropped the ball!”
It was an unstable kingdom for all

CHORUS 1:
Well I know a thing or two about a lust for power
And this is nothing new, the unjust devour
Everything in sight like its their birthright
From their first breath to their final hour
Unstable kingdoms and kings

VERSE 4:
I saw a man shipped away in the middle of the night
By some quiet coward, no regard for wrong or right
Well there was nothing he could say, no way to put up a fight
It was an unstable kingdom alright

CHORUS 2:
Well I know a thing or two about abuse of power
And this is nothing new, the unjust devour
Everything in sight like its their birthright
From their first breath to their final hour
Unstable kingdoms and kings
Unstable kingdoms and kings
Unstable kingdoms and kings

Unstable Kingdoms

Peter Broderick's dear sister Heather Woods Broderick crafted this wonderful cover version of his song 'Inside Out There' from his latest album 'These Walls Of Mine'. In his own words:

"How happy I was when my lovely sister sent me a cover version of my song 'Inside Out There' (from last year’s 'These Walls Of Mine') a couple weeks ago!

For one thing, I never imagined this would be a song that someone would cover… but ohhhh do I smile when I hear her sing those words . . . and it looks fuckin’ beautiful . . . all of a sudden it feels like much more of a song than it ever was! She took that little bastard of a song turned it into something magical.

What can I say . . . I love you Heather Woods Broderick! We’ve come a long way since this photo (http://www.peterbroderick.net/?p=349), snuggling with our grandmother. Have a listen!" - Peter Broderick

Heather Woods Broderick - Outside In Here (Peter Broderick Cover)

A track about birth

Lyrics:

If I could bribe this life with roses 
I'd plant as many as my desires
Their thorn would bite 
And tear the thin cloth we wear 
To hide from judging eyes
And the roof would fall 
Under the weight of fall 
And poulverize the walls
Then the rain would leak in
And turn into a river 
Where the remains float over

On them we carry on, 
Carry on as we behold
First a seed then a  rose
That from the Lethe drinks growing tall
On them we carry on, 
No force blocks me down
First a seed then a  rose
That from the Lethe drinks growing tall

And slowly rises
Through time, space and life's barriers 
And firmament's bounds
It's bloom unfolds many forgotten souls
Moving, dancing to an ancient rhyme, 
A spell on the night
That suddenly arrives on us
On my desires 
On all the ruins beneath your eyes, 
The remains of my life

On them we carry on, 
Carry on as we behold
First a seed then a  rose
That from the Lethe drinks growing tall
On them we carry on, 
No force blocks me down
First a seed then a  rose
That from the Lethe drinks growing tall

And we carry on, 
Carry on as we behold
A seed in my heart
That once grown it'll tear down walls
Now to carry on,
Carry on when you need solid ground
Just take a single rose
That from the Lethe drinks growing tall
