chesterbeTHE FLAME:
I will never let you go
You're safe within my hands
Though I can feel you pull away
I watch you make your plans
Against my better judgment
I let you lead the way
The only way to see you thrive
I quietly obey
I've always kept you close to me
But how could I have known
The fire I held in my hands
Would slowly start to grow
From a flicker in the dark
I would come to learn
I knew I had to say goodbye
Or I would surely burn
one day you'd be better off
Out there on your own
I knew what I was giving up
That I would be alone
you had been my candle light
I tried to keep contained
burning me at every end
Got burried by the flame
But then I fought and held too tight
And somehow lost the spark
That I could always see in you
Before my flame went dark
chesterbeUntitled:
You make belive everything that you feel
You can't hear what I'm singing about
Your lips, they move, but you're speaking in tongues
You stand tall, but you're thinkin' so small,
Yeah, you call yourself a lover
but you've never felt love
The pain is rushing down on you
If you change the way you're living
You can rise above
You can't win if you're afraid to lose
Look around
Look around
Look around
You sink into the shadows
You're invisible there
There's no one else to worry about
But what you'll find hidden in the wake of despair
Is faith that it will all work out
chesterbeA CALL TO ARMS:
The only way to win a war
Is unrelenting peace
No matter what the cause
The violence will not cease
Death breads only dying
We always have a choice
Peace won't stop your crying
But tears still have a voice
We may always disagree
But questions long for answers
Close your eyes you'll never see
The war machine's a cancer
A parasite that eats your soul
Leaving nothing but the grave
To those who keep on digging
For those who won't be saved
This is a call to arms
Fall into one another
This is a call to arms
To wrap around each other
chesterbeWOMAN:
Her eyes are like the arrows
Shot from Cupid's bow
Her smile like the canyons
I've fallen deep below
Her voice is like the sparrow
That takes away my soul
Her fingers like the silky yarn
That keeps my body warm
Her words are like a howlin wind
Movin through the trees
Her hair is like a field of flowers
Blowin in the breeze
Her hands are like a mothers song
That put my heart at ease
Her kiss is like a bright white shadow
brings me to my knees
And if I'd never prayed before
A servant she has made
I bow down at her temples door
And pray that I be saved
For I am just a lowly man
All I've touched I set a blaze
And she is like the endless ocean
Washed over me in waves
Forgiving all that I've abandoned
And mends my aching heart
She hangs her flag there high upon
That broken marble arch
Where once there was a great empire
Stretched to the dark
Defeated with one single blow
My armies cease to march
