He's movin' all his stock, to that bare paddock
The fire's comin' through and it's comin' fast
With 1600 sheep and 200 cattle
When it comes to givin up he'd be the last
And the old brigade came by with the bad news
The big burn's on it's way and we need your help
So he kissed his wife goodbye and said I love you
And he left his stock to fend for themselves
It's just how it goes
And he's stil circlin'
'Round and 'round upon this dusty land
And he'll keep the mob together while he's workin'
Always keen to lend a helpin' hand
And he's still circlin
A windshift turned the fire past his homestead
And he was faced with putin' down his injured stock
Across the smokey flat all lame and breathless
His collie cirled round the frightened mob
He's doin' his job
And he's stil circlin'
'Round and 'round upon this dusty land
And he'll keep the mob together while he's workin'
Always keen to lend a helpin' hand
And he's still circlin
Through drought and flood and fire
Through hardship and good time
I'll raise my glass to every man and dog
If you look you'll always find
They're stil circlin'
'Round and 'round upon this dusty land
And they'll keep the mob together while they're workin'
Always keen to lend a helpin' hand
And they're still circlin
Still circlin'

Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire
Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher
If we roll from town to town and never shut it down
Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover
Would we walk even closer until the trip was over
And would it be okay if I didn't know the way
If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Let me know if you're really a dream
I love you so, so would you go with me
Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together
Could you not look down forever
If you were lighter than a feather
Oh, and if I set you free, would you go with me
If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Help me tie up the ends of a dream
I gotta know, would you go with me
I love you so, so would you go with me

LIVING WITHIN THE TORMENT OF ALL OF MY ENDLESS FAILURES.
THE MEMORIES OF LOST HOPE ARE BURNING DEEP INSIDE MY HEAD.
IT'S A NEVERENDING, LOSING BATTLE, REVEALING THE DARK OF IT'S THIRST.
FOR THE NOURISHMENT OF PAIN CONSUMED MY STAINED AND TARNISHED DEPTHS...
AN ENDLESS SEA OF THE BLOOD OF MY FALLING TEARS.
YES, THE STREAMS OF CRIMSON ARE CALLING OUT UNTO DESPAIR.
SPEAKING OUT THROUGH DARK REFLECTIONS OF MY ABSTRACT DEVOTION.
FOR, MY WICKED EMOTIONS ARE ORDAINED BY THE HATRED OF IT'S TWISTED DOCTRINE...
I SEE THE PATH EMBRACING THE SHADOW OF LOST HOPE.
STAGNANT WITHIN THE STALE AIR, UNFOLDING EVIL, GROWING COLD.
I SEEM TO BE FINISHED, IT'S THE END, FOR LIFE IS NOW UNDONE.
FOLDING IN WITHIN ITSELF IS THE CURSE OF A BLACK PRESENCE INSIDE THAT HAS WON...
WITNESSING THE RAGING GAZE OF NIGHTMARES THAT ARE REFLECTING BACK AT ME.
UPON THIS LONELY ROAD TO KNOWHERE, OF THAT WHICH LIES WITHIN BURIED DREAMS...
THE DEVIL WITHIN IS BESTOWED AS THE DAMNATION INSIDE ME RESIDES.
FOR, I HAVE LOST MY TRUE WAY OF LIFE, FOR, THE ESSENCE OF LIGHT THAT ONCE BURNT INSIDE, HAD DIED...

I see a change a comin' in the weather
I sense a change comin' over me
Will I fall and break to pieces
Or will I soar flying so free
I close my eyes but for a moment
Kaleidoscope colors nothings the same
Here I go into the unknown
I'm not scared and I feel no pain
As I make my way
As I make my way
So amazing are all the wonders
And all the beauty i'd never seen before
I never realized I was lost
Until I opened up thr door
I wish this journey could last forever
There's so much more I wanna see
But everything that I have learned
Will always be a part of me

MY SOULESS CORPSE FEELS LIKE IT'S ON FIRE.
AND IT ROTS AS IT LIES STINKING WITHIN THE EARTH.
IT IS RAINING BLOOD UPON THE GROUND WITHIN THIS CEMETARY
AND INSIDE THE DEEPEST CORE OF MY DEAD BEING, MY SOULESS DEMON IS NOW SPAT IN REBIRTH...
AHHH...
SPECTRES OF SORROW ARE FLYING SO FREE.
FROM AN ETERNITY, THAT... WILL... FOREVER... BLEED...
BLACK MEMORIES AND DESIRES CROSS OVER WITH ME TO THE OTHER SIDE.
AND WITHIN THIS DESPAIR, I SEE THOSE GLORIOUS OF DARKEST SITES...
I HAD DIED A HORRIBLE DEATH WITHIN AN ABYSS FOR MY ETERNAL HELL.
AND IT'S SHADOWS OF AN UNKNOWN EVIL, THROUGH ME WAS DEEPLY DREAMPTH.
WHEN THIS ANCIENT DARKNESS CREPT INSIDE MY LONELY, HOLLOW SHELL.
I WAS CHRISTENED THEN I WAS ORDAINED TO SERVE THE MAJESTY OF THE DAMNED...
AHHH...
SPECTRES OF SORROW ARE FLYING SO FREE.
FROM AN ETERNITY, THAT... WILL... FOREVER... BLEED...
BLACK MEMORIES AND DESIRES CROSSED OVER WITH ME TO THE OTHER SIDE.
AND WITHIN THIS DESPAIR, THE EVIL'S FULFILLED UPON THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS...
I WAS TWISTED BY THE VERY FEELINGS THAT CONFRONTED MY SOUL AS I LAYED BLEEDING.
AND THE DESOLATION HAD POSSESSED ME FROM SO DEEP WITHIN.
FOR, WITHIN THE DEVIL'S WAKE, I HAD BELIEVED I WAS ONLY DREAMING.
BUT, IN TRUTH, IT WAS MY DARK REALITY UNBURIED BENEATH MY SIN...
AHHH...
SPECTRES OF SORROW ARE FLYING SO FREE.
FROM AN ETERNITY, THAT... WILL... FOREVER... BLEED...
BLACK MEMORIES AND DESIRES CROSSED OVER WITH ME TO THE OTHER SIDE.
AND WITHIN THIS DESPAIR, I DWELL WITH THE LEGIONS FOR THE TIES THAT BIND...
(WITH THE LEGIONS OF THE EVIL BENIGN...)

She’s staring at me with those big green eyes
Trying to pull me closer to her heart
No matter how hard I try I can’t look away
I wanna stay here with her no matter what it takes
So baby please let me in I’m dying to get too close to you
We may be miles apart but I can still hear u calling my name
Baby there’s nothing that can keep me from u
We say we love each other but sadly we don’t know each other

Verse I
You were so cautious when first we met,
But I knew it right from the start.
It just took a while for you to get.
Now you are safely in my heart.
Chorus
It was only a matter of time,
For us to seek and finally find,
The one and only love,
The hand to fit the glove,
It was only a matter of time.
Verse II
Our stars have been aligned forever.
There never was a single doubt.
Always meant to be together,
It just took a while to find out.
Verse III
There's an aura that surrounds us now.
Protecting us from any harm.
So to you I make this solemn vow.
To keep you safe within my arms.

Verse I
We both made mistakes,
In love and in life.
You took the wrong husband,
I chose the wrong wife.
Our mis'ry dragged on,
Went on for so long.
Happiness always out of reach.
Our rights were all wrong.
Chorus
My sweet honey Bee,
So precious to me.
I looked for so long to find you,
Then finally you found me.
Now we are one,
The looking is done.
You'll walk hand in hand through life with me,
My sweet honey Bee.
Verse II
The road was so long,
To find our sweet love.
It seemed it would never end at all,
And then from above,
The sky opened up,
The sun filled our cup.
Now we'll have each other dear,
Things fin'ly look up.
Verse III
And now that we know,
We'll always have us.
Nothing will ever come between,
And life is a rush.
A reason to live,
A passion to give.
We will be legend you and I,
Long after we live.

Theres rain falling down
outside.
I can hear the world crying
tonight.
Maybe its real.
Maybe its in my mind.
Maybe im lying
im alive.
Are we alive?
Are we dreaming?
I feel the sky screaming
inside.
Anger and thunder driving
the light.
It'll hit.
It'll crash.
They can worry
we will survive.
The Ice cracks, fire screams
the world, its feeling again
and we, oh we, were standing
tall and alive
we all die
we're alive
we are dreaming
we're alive
Wind cools the heat
a calm thats needed.
Hear the quiet
take a breath.
Be steady.
Be ready.
no peace
without fight
no life
without death
no reason
without emotion
no courage
without fear
we are dreaming alive

About this poem:
How do you know your alive?
Do you know when you are dreaming?
Does it matter which is which?
Perhaps its all perception. Perhaps our dreams are just as much reality while we are in them.
And in both cases, it is up to us to live in them.
I believe this world is worth waking up too, and going to sleep for.
I believe this world dreams just as we do.

we ran so fast -ya know we couldn't slow down
we flew so high - we couldn't see the ground
we fell so hard and it isn't right
we're far apart, I think I might
have been dreaming. was I just dreamin?
on sunday...sunday morning
I wrote a note, ya know I tried to say
I love you so I gotta get away
I'll find you when you find yourself
and this is real, I think, or else...
I was dreaming...just dreamin...
on sunday...sunday morning
out on a limb, cut away the excess
he's a knight, she's a train-wreck - a big mess
lost sight of what you really need
so take a bite, and watch your lover bleed
so line them up, and knock them down
light it up, let's leave the ground
we're out of luck, you know we're out of time
so shut your mouth and just be mine
we're dreamin, just dreaming
on sunday, sunday morning
out of the gate, but still in deep shit
up late - tryin to keep this
love alive what we really need
take a bite, watch your lover bleed

About this poem:
I knew someone last year. If things would have different, we may have been more than friends, as it was I became part of her support system as she tried to kick alchoholism. she was in a re-hab facility for 6 months. she did not.... that is to say..... I've heard rumors. one can try, but must walk away sometimes. some people you cannot help. she inspired a few songs. it's really sad, and tragic. I'd never dealt with that evil of an addiction. not like that. a learning experience, to be sure. some people are only in your life for a moment. like a shooting star, if you will. flash! zip! gone.
