Shallow Graves (free) 04:11
It flows like the wind Soon we’ll be away from here And we float like the leaves Soon we’ll lie on the ground But in the meantime I wish, That the emptiness in your eyes Was filled with love And regrets for what you’ve done We live like old kings Hungry for feasts and wars And we’re fools for believing That yet one day, we’ll dwell in the stars But in the meantime we can hope, That the shallow graves we build won’t be in vain And have faith in love, Though I can’t see none, from what you’ve shown Soon will come changes around You can hide but you’ll be found So can you hear, oh can you hear Won’t you hear the sound of change ? But I dream of a garden The wind blowin’ on my face And the trees over my head The leaves singin’ in my ears

Days Gone By 04:42
I’ve seen the days goin’ by Into these darkened times Oh I’ve seen the days Goin’ by How can a mind resist Such hollowness is desease How can we not feel all the pain We cause to each other I don’t see how I can’t see why Walking the streets withdrawned and dazed Watching the sun from the fewest of rays How can a man see wilderness From such a mess I don’t see how I can’t see why This is the time A choice is to be made Cos’ we are riding a wave That will never hit the sand And I want to feel The warmth of the sand On my skin So you’ve seen the days goin’ by Into these heavy hearted and darkened times How can we let the devil prevail? The garden has turned to stones And hearts are filled with rusts Let’s not let this world become Thorns with no rose

I should have seen better When I first got here The time I’d spend A-moaning I should have seen clearer When I first laid eyes It took me by surprise Too much is too much I’m getting tired of it Getting Rough... They took the highway down Down to promised land They messed with it all around They buy your souls And the drugstores They drill the earth And tare the forests down The earth‘s in danger And they keep up the pressure They play with fear For what a man If he gains the whole World But loses his own soul What can a man Give in exchange for his soul I should have known better When I first got here The time I’d Spend A-Moaning I should have seen clearer When I first laid eyes It took me by surprise

Lover, would you help Make it through the year My mind is such a hollow place I don’t wanna be in Through the fire And rain I have lived But now it’s time to see What God planned for me To enter the sunlight Breathin’ down its warmth Cos’ even in the night There will be a guiding light The only thing you need Is letting away the greed That takes down the soul And I believe you’ll feel some kind of testing real Though whispers in your ears Will try and drown you right in your fears Throw way away The devil’s entertainments The spirit within is captive and hurts The only thing you need Is letting away the greed That takes down the soul And I believe you’ll feel some kind of tasting real Though whispers in your ears Will try and drown you in your fears It’s time for you to see What God planned for thee...

Green Gold 06:06
I am just a simple man, This is only who I am, And I don't feel no different from a falling leave. And if you care to know The only difference in between They breath our breath, we breath theirs So don’t be afraid to care You don't seem to get, The value of this green gold Why'd you cut off its heads (There) was a time I felt different, Like a bird in the woods Flyin’ on from tree to tree But now it's time to run I want to see The eyes of those Who triumphantly destroy the whole family We’re building walls There should be bridges Oh won't you show mercy For the child who sees all
