(verse 1)
I'm doing a slow burn I passed "tired" three years ago
but its no cause for concernI'm gonna fight this undertow
(verse 2)
I've never been more alive"All to lose and nothing to gain"
what a freak does just to survive with the rhythm of the rain
(verse 3)
A spiritual wastelandI’m in one hell of a mess
Way too deep to understandBut its nothing more and nothing less
(verse 4)
Dancing on my high wirefool enough to think I’ve got a chancelove these dangerous desiresjust to be cheated by circumstance
(bridge)
"feel" it in my bonesnow I may be luckygonna "fuel" the firetake a deep breath (and "feel" like a new man)
(chorus)
slow burn - tied to a totem poleslow burn -keep it real and under controlslow burn -till I turn stone coldI’m a slow burn - take it back and don't tell a soul
slow burn - fused to my rib cage. slow burn - lit it up at an early ageslow burn fire - and I'm wild with rageI’m a slow burn casualty on the back page.

(verse 1)
Invisible bright manno sister slave on the marquee
my lord may seem a lifeless ghostthough he'll never be quite dead to me
(verse 2)
Invisible bright manneed a better script -rainmaker's storm
unveil the end game sizzledo away with these pathetic norms
its time for my biggest season...
(verse 3)
I'm invisible bright man.in lust with new misguided visions
weeping 'cause I want out of mother's country...
The sky is divine, the crow is hungryCherish my life 'cause its only a whisper...
(bridge)
The heavy axeI see it falling.
Random actsI feel them coming on...
(chorus)
Alter me I've maimed the tablatureI've lost the guide postsbut I'm not paranoid.
I'll pass on punishmentjust street worship the painLoosen my noose while no one is looking I'll just slip away...and pound the end -pound it hard.
Pound the end - pound it hard.
I'm Invisible bright man.Do I feel what I see?a familiar place called homeas bad as bad can be.Even a blind fool can move in these shadowsI'll pull up a chair and love the light with my last breath...
Invisible bright man. No one else can see.I'm invisible bright man. I'm where I want to be.Invisible bright man.

(verse 1)
Lonely cries and crucified tearsTerror slices from darkened graves
The moon cries over desperate years"every right" my warrior
devils run from my warrior.
(verse 2)
Prayers kiss this requiemhunger grovels at feet gone before
no regrets - not these young men"every right" my warrior
Devils run from my warrior.
(verse 3)
Jesus whispers in the trenchesSouls are summoned in a dark divide
guts and fists - a parent clenchesnow my own is on his way
"every right" my warriordevils run from my warrior
(verse 4)
Anguish sides with the innocentsrain engulfs healthy marrowmortal secrets told in confidencenot this time, my warrior
(verse 5)
Sinners howl at the nothingnessspirits drink down a thirsty tollNow its selfish I must confesssweet twilight for my warriordevils pass on my warrior
(verse 6)
Ambush waits - Raven's last chancewatch the crossfire -hold on one more daybargains made in midnight penancewatch your back now, my warriorget your friends out, my warrior
(chorus)
No more time for their childhood toysthanks to God, and these soldier boys"every right we now enjoy"keeps the eyes of heaven crying..."Thousand yard stare" - grew up hard and fastmore flags are flying here at half-mastPoured in blood - this hymn is cast..."every right" my warriordevils run from my warrior

(verse 1)
Hear the lawyer speak all the words that he can say
till the truth slips awaybut this same simple man
years of hopeless desirefinding straight answers
fought fire with fire
Too burned out now to be naiveA laugh up his sleeve
got a final reprieve
(bridge)
No one can see who to believe?
Lost my faith in me?I can’t trust myself or anyone
There's something more...
(chorus)
Now its time to speak of itthough I can’t see where it’s coming from
but when push comes to shoveI’ll listen to the spirit voice of reason
across the other side - I don’t understandyet somehow I know… who to believe
at last I know - who to believe.
(verse 2)
So the priest gives into desire - loving sinlet his flesh reign againand hypocrisy rulesin the presence of foolsabsolution his gamehe needs someone to blame
Now anarchy washed him awayThe devil to payHe’s a walking cliché…
(repeat bridge and chorus)

lost my mother’s homeand a grandmother’s hope
still I hear them pray for this neo native
(Verse 2)Pale thoughts - Proud minds
Thunder rules the skyWaiting here for those green painted faces
with giant wings they appearA watery tomb subsides
We call this place New OrleansNative born – families torn
With a grasp we can touch the sky
(chorus 2)
So we prayed like JobWhat can one place endure?
Now all I feel is the waterAs the night draws near
We’re Americans hereIvory towers hear our cry… “some are still alive”
(Bridge)
No sight of our brothers - Help is too far awayDeath surrounds us now - And it has for days
Open arms in Dallas - Red Cross refugees“found”, this knave… rescued at last from an empire’s grave.
(repeat both chorus)

(Verse 1)
She saw black plague and the civil warfled the burning of Rome
atomic bombs and the holocaustearth's timeless child is coming home
(Verse 2)
She saw massacre at Wounded Kneefelt the Mississippi burning trial
from the dust bowl to South AfricaShe is powerless in her exile
(Verse 3)
She saw Darwin and the Berlin WallUtah Beach to 9/11
Science damns us now - one and allWill her endless love stop my free fall?
(Verse4)
On the world's stage “her good is last”We’re just victims of circumstance
hear this bad news travel fastthere's no changing the same old song and dance
(bridge)
King and Gandhi dreamt of a better daybut I’m no John Brown or JFK
Nature’s grand design -be as it mayHer passion leaves a witness...
(chorus)
Child of an innocent God"free will" sown to the wind
psalm of man fading and flawedmother earth and daughter embrace again
Wearing the brand of Cain hear this native's perfect cryshe's a daughter of the rainjust watching as the world goes by...
She is watching – always watching.Mother earth - just watching.

(Verse 1)
Drowning on land - howlin’ at the moonI am a neo nativeLevees gone - Tribal stormsfloods hide this legacySacrifice comingBlack clouds bring the windrush to the higher groundNative born - I have soaredNature’s fury cries a tear
(chorus 1)on my father’s landon his grandfather’s landall I see is an ocean
