"Words from Within" 1987 - 89

Silent screams

pierce the night

there is no peace

where there is no sight

the day grows dark

the summer cold

long past is the time

when knights were bold

who once were brave

now cower in fright

the hawk devours

as the dove takes flight

the fall of man

tho' hidden seen

by one who knows

what might have been

the truth is not

in which he relied

he'll destroy himself

'neath the Prince denied

When night touches dawn

and darkness to light

a splendor is born

at this glorious sight

a vision of peace

is the noble dream

soothe the lion and lamb

in the infinite stream

world beyond the world

we're too blinded to see

we must humble ourselves

if we wish to be free

my heart knows the place

that my mind will not see

there's no glory in Rome

this world's no place to be

The beast is loose

throughout the earth

he steals the young

almost at birth

he shows us glitter

that is not gold

the wise are fools

they won't be told

he hides the truth

that would set us free

as he dangles the fruit

from the money tree

there are none so blind

who will not see

my time is now

he's coming for me

"Thoughts While Walking through a Shore Town"

I passed through a town

as day turned to night

houses filled with gold

an awesome sight

just a mile away

material dreams unfulfilled

children scream at the night

their cries will never be stilled

fancy chariots blazed past me

as I walked all alone

people fighting their fears

as they face the unknown

The truth

powerful, bold , strong, unbending

from feeble lips

never needs defending

the hardest thing

for one to face

very few can stand

in that place

we twist the words

to make them fit

an erred position

that we won't quit

the facts confuse

the egos bruise

the truth will out

only we will lose
