1. BELLTOWN

By day I hear the screams
Of a compromising scene
Has the wailing wall ridden
The waves back through time

What kind of idea
Has been planted in the mind
When stealing babies and killing
Your folks earns you a spot on
Prime time

Down we go
One more time
Here we go

And I ask – is this right?
To anyone who would hear
Is it something I missed or wasn't told

And life goes on – in Belltown...

The needle finds its way
Into daddy's arm to stay
While the kids are thrown to the night
And told to play

The sirens sound piercing the night
Shots echo's lead me to the sight
A dead body – nothing left – but a proud
Punk saying this is my life

Down we go
One more time
Here we go

And life goes on – in Belltown...

Ring the bells in Belltown
Another soul's thrown away
Ring the bells in Belltown
Should we cry or should we pray

Ring the bells in Belltown
For the children born today
Ring the bells in Belltown
For the price they'll have to payable

Ring the bells in Belltown
Another death tonight
Ring the bells in Belltown
Ask God to make it right


2. AFTER I FELL

I walk the lonely beach as the sun is setting slowly
The wind is blowing a thought comes to my mind
Am I laughing or crying I guess I'll never tell
Smile now cry later is what they say
It's what I thought

After I fell
After I fell
Dancing on the air of a somber theme
After I fell
Darkest thoughts and concealed pain

The time between the wait and sleep
A pathway for my open mind to play
Immutable acts forever engrafted into memories eye
Take me as far as east is from the west
Plunge me into your sea of forgetfulness
Sea of forgetfulness

After I fell
Dancing on the air of a somber theme
After I fell
Darkest thoughts and concealed pain


3. RIVER DISTURBANCE

The heavens can't contain you
The earth is your footstool
From dust I was created
And to it I will return

My mind, it cannot fathom
God nailed to a tree
My mind is like a raging river
Coursing to the sea

Now I'm drowning in the River Disturbance
Longing to depart
Though I've grown weary of the River Disturbance
You're calling to my heart

There is a shore by the river disturbance
There is a place called peace on earth
Make it to the shoreline of the river Disturbance
Yeah you got to go on under for a second birth

I hear you calling me
I hear you in the flood
I'm standing here crying out to you
Though my voice speaks no words
I've allowed the rivers fury
To wash away all I have learned

Now I'm drowning in the River Disturbance
Longing to depart
Though I've grown weary of the River Disturbance
You're calling to my heart
Now I've found peace in the River Disturbance
You're calling to my heart


4. NOW AND THEN

I hear myself say the words, of how life's unfair
It's come to points where I don't care
Mine eyes have seen failure with no wins

Like a story told, by a child who does not know
Close your eyes and listen to the words of wisdom
From those whose innocence has been torn

Tales told from days of old of now and then
A feeble cry, a tearing eye from now and then

No one knows or feels what I feels
I keep it hidden away
Its come to where I can't see
My spirit's weak, and my soul is cold

Like a story told by a child who does not know
Close your eyes and listen to the words of wisdom
From those whose innocence was torn

Tales from days of old of now and then
A feeble cry, a tearing eye from now and then


5. SPEED OF LIGHT

I gaze patiently, into a sea of stars
Drawing back from childhood fantasies
Of living life on Mars
From the corner of my eye, I saw a string of Light
I turned to see what wasn't there anymore
I felt Your presence in the night

Until we see your shadow casting on us once again

The light reaches the rim, of a dying earth
From a star burned out so long ago
Or from a child at birth
From the corner of my eye
The Word is clothed in flesh
In a world of relativity, life is born from death

How can I travel the speed of light

Is it possible to go to heaven or hell
I might never know or live to tell

The thing I want to know
Dead – where do I go
A quantum leap out through the galaxies
Till I've reached my home

When will I travel the speed of Light


6. A LITTLE SLEEP

Oh what a trip when it comes so swift
Drift into a state of tranquility
But it's my curse of fallacy
Flow trails of idiocy, hope gone astray
Can't find it, nope, nope – no relief in the morning
As I wake beggin' for a string
Cling to the bottom of slumber
The sluggard child hungers for a soul
Black this twisting sucking black hole
Clipped from the backside, Blindside is my pain
Woe and agony, dream catcher, come
I show no strain I tip the unknown I join the same
My picture frame, I can't get away I can't let go
I'm slippin' I'm slippin' I'm gone – where do we go?

A little sleep a little slumber
a little folding of the hands to rest

Can you help me seem to feel a little split
And there's no reasoning, but the light still
I flickering amongst the bricks
Built on the high hopes of man
Search for his love but no one understands
Waiting for the dawn of change
Something simple for the temple
I stand alone without explain keep me in the Darkest
Staggering in the rain, drowning pain
Banging on the ark – something wrong inside
But the one who runs the rooms raised the tombs
I can't find – just another night with my friends
Toss and turn I sleep in the day, I close my eyes
The sun burns, gotta find a way before I wither
Hide and ditch away where do I go?

Stop, listen to the rage, cause it's Deliverance
With a 12th Tribe pump – pump gauge
Do I move ya back for another fill a dose from the Ghost
Can you feel the skills
Puppets being pulled by the master
Strings of sorrow getting strummed by the swindler
So don't let me catch you in a slumber, 'cause my stuff
Packed in the chamber – click – click – boom!


7. MAP

Following the straight and narrow
Reading the signs and arrows
Driving away from the games we play
From horizons of gray
To the light of an endless day

I've got a road map to heaven
And each road is a cross
I've got a road map to heaven
For the blind and the lost

I've got a road map to heaven – heaven

And X marks the spot
And there's a crosswalk
Where my life was bought

I've got a road map to heaven
And each road is a cross
"Drive drive drive He said"
"I want to drive drive drive He said"
I've got a road map to heaven
For the blind and the lost


8. YOU STILL SMILE

The sands of time are falling
The colours are starting to fade
I still am not a rich man
Like I told you I would be

But through it all – you still believe
Through it all – you still smile

I would leave in the name of love
Let the road become my only one
You would let me live, while you would die

You took my abuse when I should've been left
You became my sanity when my mind had went
If there had been any with a Christ like spirit
It was you for me

Forgiveness flowed when I'd do you wrong
How I wish I could undo it all

But through it all – you still smile

Well I still don't have much money
But we've never been any better
I guess what you said 10 years ago is true
That our love will last forever

When the day has overcome me
And we haven't seen the light for awhile
Promise me one thing
That through it all – you'll still smile


9. BREATHING STILL...

Howling she might come
But she still cools you down
Destructive she might be
But then she tricks you like some ghostly clown
The wind names whoever she wills
Haunting me I hear her breathing still
I hear her breathing still

And she's calling
Falling over you
Now she's crawling
All over you
And inside of you
Deep inside of you

Wind is calling
Wind is calling you
I feel the chill of the night
Piercing the darkness
Cracking the sky

Wind is calling
Wind is calling you
Echoing voices parade in my head
I see nothing left but you

The fear is deep and gripping
And strangely tranquilizing
She can bring you heaven
Or take you down to hell
The wind comes on staggering feet
She'll hand you victory and defeat
She'll calm your restless heart tonight
On her sacred gently flight

Wind is calling
Wind is calling you
Is she a messenger sent from God
Blowing away all of our wrongs
Wind is calling
Wind is calling you
The almighty waves his arm
Having her attending to all cause
Wind is calling
Calling your name
Echoing voices parade in my head
I feel nothing left but you

Echoes
Running through the night
Like a ghost in flight
Voices in the restless wind

She brings blue beauty or she brings skies of gray
She's a roaring thunder
And she's a child at play
Obeying her master
She'll loose her breath
On through the heavens and down again
Grace me with your presence

Wind is calling
Wind is calling you
I feel the chill of the night
Piercing the darkness
Cracking the sky
Wind is calling
Wind is calling you
Is she a messenger sent from God
Blowing away all of our wrongs
Wind is blowing
Wind is calling you
Echoing voices parade in my head
I feel nothing left but you
I hear her breathing still...
