Shadow man; write rhymes in the dark, Away from the crowds in the bar. I listen to the beat from afar Travel through the night till it hits and ignites with a spark. The words come pouring and a new cycle starts, Born a new story, born a new star. Born a new path to be walked with the heart. Born a new path to be walked with the heart. Go through life standing firm Those who think they right dealing strife never learn. Everything we write is devised to be burned. I test my will and might throwing words to the urn. Words turn to ash, ash turn to dust. Everything we learn we'll unlearn as a must, Before the final turn in the wheel must be thrust, The dust must blow. Thus we'll begin again, to sin again To mistrust what we'll win again Until a gust of wing brings the scent of our stink again; let us know Everything she gives we have taken, We should listen to the will of the maker Remember we were born… From the center all things come and become. When they come undone. They'll return to the one. Recur to the sum. From which none will be shun. Thy will be done, crawl, walk or run cry overcome, Pray to be stunned Pry the become, find in all sound the surround mighty hum Go through life standing firm. Everything we write is alright to be burned. Before the last fight we'll ignite the last urn; Set the last fire in the night to burn bright In the pyre that will light the new turn. Let the smoke rise to the sky as we churn, Let us leave what we have to be burned. Let us turn around head bound to the profound. Let us come around finally bow to the ground. Hear the sound of our peace come down, hear the chaos cease, With due defeat hear the chaos leave (us) to the heat of a new sunny day. Again we'll be children who will run and will play with no worries. We will gleam clean and we will flourish. We will stream a new stream with new courage to the sea of the new found dream we will nourish. From the center all things come and become When they come undone They'll return to the one Recur to the sum From which none will be shun Thy will be done, crawl, walk or run Cry overcome, Pray to be stunned Pry the become, find in all sound the surround mighty hum. If the blessed weren't the manifested…
STORMY WEATHER
Speak my mind, come the stormy weather. Like I'm calling the ghosts from you. Take those words and shed your light on them. What do you see through that transparency?
Man's best to bring is the truth, Enjoy it. Man's test to sing is the true, Employ it. We cannot chose. Man's best to bring is the truth, Enjoy it. Man's test to sing is the true, Employ it.
When freed from identity the vehicle responds with the unasked for truth. Now detached from danger the sacrifice speaks thus to you: I am he who deep within work has sown the same warnings to all who will listen. To all who will listen.
Speak my mind; suffer that need.
You spoke them. Through me. For yourself.
Man's best to bring is the truth, Enjoy it. Man's test to sing is the true, Employ it. We cannot chose. Man's best to bring is the truth, Enjoy it. Man's test to sing is the true, Employ it.
I am just one who from the shadows has come in the name of the makers of change. To speak what I see in all transparency and help the awakening day. In your mind a helmet of will, to rise within ill. An old reminiscence, in the wake that has passed and is coming.
How long? In between worlds I channel these words. For how long? A new time is dawning; for how long?
This is what you need to hear. What you have always heard inside in your self.

DINERO
The very last words I heard were absurd. Words made me stutter. My head turn and my eyes shutter. What the fuck! Say's eye in the mind. I can't believe my luck! Spread in the gutter was a letter doing better unread, I picked it up And I read it, my head rang struck, now I regret it, Said it: “If it's dry we shall wet it. Never mind if its alive we shall dead it. A new time more inclined for our kind will beget it. You read it, through my words you won't forget it. Your God? He regret it, Never mind him if he knows that their freedom is a thing from within, And as long as they can sin we can keep them wondering where it is.”
Came down like great thunder, made my mind shake and wonder:
“Are we all going under? What! I said, what is this! Damn what is this shit! Who could write this shit? Who wrote it?”
I'm walking on the tips of my toes and I suppose that you're talking through the lips of a ho who don't know that I know. If its dry you shall wet it, so it goes. Never mind if its alive you shall dead it, new flow, new time more inclined for your kind will beget it, now you know that I read it. Like I'm stepping on the tips of your toes while you suppose that I'm running from the silly little threats that you show.
Corriendo y escapando, chiflando, manteniendo-nos en el mando, Gritando: “Que está passando? Que coño está passando? El mundo esta acabando, el cielo esta sangrando. Lo veo en el campo. El tiempo está cambiando. Vamos, vamo-nos, los dejamos. Como no, estamos solos. Recibimos lo que merecemos, vamos, no tengas pena, no lloremos. No vale la pena, por asi decir:
Read in the letter: Obey! You who don't pay, obey! You who don't play, obey! You who can't stand in the rain run away! Slaves for the trade, obey!
I'm walking on the tips of my toes and I suppose that you're talking through the lips of a ho who don't know that I know. If its dry you shall wet it, so it goes. Never mind if its alive you shall dead it, new flow, new time more inclined for your kind will beget it, now you know that I read it. Like I'm stepping on the tips of your toes while you suppose that I'm running from the silly little threats that you show.
She came walking down like she knew. Like she had a plan for the man, me and you. What they plan for you is to slip ya in this noose, Slide it tight around your neck until you lose the ability to choose. She saw I had her letter, thrown in the gutter, as it fell I heard the words from its writer make me shudder.
“What's the matter? Subject matter got your nerves on a platter Do they flatter what you knew, does it matter what you do?”
(Miss) I say, this is what I think:
Would you put your lips around the tip of my dick, And then spit when I jizz so's it drips on your tits. Degrading, this is what I think of you lady. Shady witch!! Oh, you say why I gotta be so sick? Why you gotta be such a bitch? who pretends she never been such a bitch? I can see through your tricks trick!”

HAD I THE COURAGE
This mission: your volition this ambition: your volition this friction: your volition your volition Had I the courage to call you by your true name Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Plumed serpent slithers and slides slow In this slippery mind this kind I know And in mine eye I have kind of known, kind of known
Had I the courage to call you by your true name Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Too much confusion with this here kind; Too much illusion Too much delusion in this here mind. Why, I know Illusion; this illusion, disillusion.
Somehow the raindrops always fall in rhythm
Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name Had I the courage to call you by your true name
I'd not mind the rain, I I'd not mind the change Whatever I'd find strange I'd name Your volition, your volition, your volition.
This mission: your volition this ambition: your volition this friction: your volition your volition
And I sit in the rain, and I'm wondering… And I sit in the rain and I'm wondering Why the birds don't sing in this night Why the kids don't play in this night Why the sun don't shine
Had I the choice to call you; I'm wondering… Would I see you? I'm wondering Would I peel in the thundering sight? If I'd feel you wandering.
This rock I stand on rolls forever I walk but to where I don't know, I don't know why the kid don't play in this night Why the sun don't shine for me
Under the night I roam, and stroll Within the light I'll roam, it's true
This mission: your volition this ambition: your volition this friction: your volition your volition
Take these two steps on this beach at sunset At unease with the rest And my knees at unrest And my head at unrest I don't care about the best This duress is a test I could do with a rest now
Let my mind relax Let my soul come back Let me know I passed with the courage
This mission: your volition this ambition: your volition this friction: your volition your volition
Your volition is the faith that drives me on and on…
