‘Black Hills’

1. First to Rise
2. Anymore of Anymore

I only know where ive been before 
I just know how ive been before
I dont need it anymore

Who i was, is not who i am
Change i will and change i can
Swarm the fates, forevermore
Who i was is not who i am
Change i will and change i can
No anymore of anymore

I just know who ive been before 
I only know what ive been before
I dont see it anymore

Who i was is not who i am
Change i will and change i can
No anymore of anymore

I only know where ive been before
I just know how ive been before
I dont need it anymore
I just know who ive been before
I only know what ive been before
I dont see it anymore

Who i was is not who i am
Change i will and change i can
Swarm the fates, forevermore 
Who i was is not who i am
Change i will and change i can
No anymore of anymore

3. Vulture Culture

I am i am
Taking a shot at the king
And i know i cant miss
Im gonna bother
My gods going to hell
I am the question and the answer
That tonight i know i will sell
Drop anchor here
Ill disappear 

Vulture culture 
Go underground and reflect on the night
A casted shadow of whats just out of reach
Its no ones business, no ones business
Whos bones are in this ash heap
Drop anchor here
We’ll disappear 

Drop anchor here
We’ll disappear

4. We Are Justice

Its a stones throw 
Below, we’re told
just to get to the truth
Its a sawtooth
Phonebooth, we fuse,
together we all choose
I wouldn’t change a thing
These are the finest days
A free pass, dont last, why ask
I dont know better than you

Just one more
Dance floor, i swore
For the last and first time
I admit, i quit, and commit
It never entered my mind
These are the finest days
I wouldnt change a thing
A drawn out, fallout, a way out
My own organized crime

We are justice, just as different

5. Gala Latchas

Its one voice
Its one mind
One spirit
Unconfined
x2
Its your path, path all the way
And the night will come, here we go

Ive seen it all yeah i am an eagle
Im ready, i fly out red
An unseen world, yet a world entire
Covered in my own sweat
Gala Latchas
Gala Latchas

You are not alone, doorway to spirits
Red and blue, tooth and claw
Feather and antler, painted grandfather
Heartbeat of the hide and jaw
Gala Latchas
Gala Latchas

Its one voice 
Its one mind 
One spirit
Unconfined

6. Lucky Me
7. Let It Go

Fools and acquaintances 
Judgement steadfast
Borderlands and fences
Plowing right past
Knowledge aint wisdom 
And wicked aint bad
The truth is singular 
And thats all ive had

I know, to say, i know
That im on the way
I knew, i wont stay,
Its new all along the way

Let it go x3
And your on the way
x2

All bleeding stops eventually
Your younger yet
Rebellion rebuilding 
Takes time to set
Aim with tools not trophies
Where life has led
The echo of silence
Is all that ive said

I know, to say, i know
That im on the way
I knew, i wont stay,
Its new all along the way

Let it go x3
And your on the way

I know to say, i know
That im on the way
I knew, i wont stay
Its new all along the way

Oh Let it go x3
And your on the way
x4

8. Amplified

Now now
I know
Cards dealt, now we are amplified
The same mistakes
Elsewhere 
Through the great divide
x2

Dont just 
Exist
We cant, we are amplified 
Been there
Before
Dont fear, to truly be alive
x2

Its alright, we are amplified!!

9. Take my chances

Under the world, my soul has fallen
Ive been around, over a thousand 
Rolling like thunder, blinding like lighting
No stopping now, i live it darlin

All the time
My hands are tied
This short piece of time, time, time
A chance of mine

Calling the tune
Taking the lead
cliffsides before us are always steep
Reigns are wrapped tightly around me
Ill take my chances x4
Yes I believe 

Let the night go, doesnt need saving
Let thw tombstone, do its own naming
High desert winds to low down cities
All things begin and end as stories

All the time
My hands are tied
This short piece of time, time, time
This chance of mine

Calling the tune
Taking the lead
Cliffsides before us are always steep
Reigns are wrapped tightly around me
Ill take my chances x4
Yes I believe 
x2

10. Lets get down to it

Its alive
Its simple
Thats a lie
Thats freedom
x2

Its alright
We got ya
Its not rights
Thats privilege
x2

Lets get down,
Down to it 
x6

Its alive
Its simple
Thats a lie
Thats freedom
x2

11. Take It To The Streets 

I see the headlights
In the rearview
Of another kind
You are the question 
And the answer
Told to the sky
Full of lightning
Full of sound
Hanging on the note
The ink has bled
And this is all you know

Gray as rhe day
I lie awake 
In another storm
disciplined certainty
With locked horns
Creating creatures
Only few will posess their soul
Muffled demonic Snarling
Is all i know

The cold wind through us takes the heat
Hold the flame close and take it to the street

Lets be real 
So we can heal
By a country mile
What your wearing
Armor plated
Stance and style
Storm in a glass
So im a catch
Ill be the last born
Nothing less
Than success 
And good form

I see the headlights…..

Lows down, highs up
Midway, low cut
x2

The cold wind through us takes the heat
Hold the flame close and take it to the street
x4

Lows down, highs up
Midway, low cut
x4

12. Force Of Nature

Do you mind how you go
Been this short piece of time
A force youve come to know
To decorate your bloodline
If its more that you make
Learn the rough and tumble
Ebb and flow
But id say for our sake
Hot damn, no ma’am
I dont wanna go

Loyal to the nightmare
We are a force of nature
I am myself somewhere in there
But its only a dream
x2

I dont mind how i go 
Theres no final goodbye
Wish me luck of love
That kindness i wont deny
If its more that you make
Its more that you will leave behind
But id say for our sake, hot damn
Ill stay here and take my time

Loyal to the nightmare 
We are a force of nature
I am myself somewhere in there
But its only a dream
x4

13. High Roads

One turn on the trail
Four winds in the sail
Grab ahold of me
Landing where its leads
Its leads,
Downhill
Taking high roads downhill

Fear will eat the soul
Down to just rubble
Take ahold of me
See where we’re going
Going
Downhill
Taking high roads downhill
x2

‘Savage Folk’

 

1. Western Sun

 

Oh high desert, please call me home

Oh high desert, please call me home

Ill make a tombstone

From an empty bottle and move on

 

Sun aint long, on these days

The sun aint long, for these days

Nothings changed, born astride the grave

 

Oh death valley, undertaker

Oh death valley, undertaker

They sold their souls for a dollar an acre

 

Rise up western sun

Rise high western sun

 

X 2

 

2. Silent Eye

 

Out of the sky, who is to blame

I hold the tie, also the shame

Masked in a lie, without a name

Thee silent eye of a hurricane

Hey yeah eye of the hurricane

I am the eye of the hurricane 

Hey yeah eye of the hurricane

 

Oh me oh my, one in the same

Reliefful sigh, after the pain

Sip on the rye, welcome the rain

The silent eye of the hurricane 

Hey yeah eye of the hurricane 

I am eye of the hurricane 

Hey yeah eye of the hurricane 

I am the eye of the hurricane 

 

3. Take it easy

 

Take it easy, you are not alone

Take it easy, you are not alone

 

Well life is full of exits

Ends and starts

Flint to steel 

And steel to sparks

A journey that risks the dark

Guess I should’ve known that from the start

 

Well its over, and it starts again

This where, we descend

 

Take it easy, you are not alone

Take it easy, you are not alone

 

Until the sun fades and drops down low

Bleed it dry then claim some more

Dont be left behind,

Because in the dark you’ll be hard to find

 

Well its over, and it starts again

This where, we descend 

 

And i know its hard now baby

To go inside

Its no time to, run and hide

And I know its easy baby 

To look away,

Its no time to take your eyes of the road

On this long, dark highway

 

Theres a glow and shine that reflects our lives

Leads the way, or makes you blind

Only one way to know,

Guess its time for you to hit the road

 

Well its over, and it starts again

This is where, we descend X2

 

4. Tried and True

 

One life to lose, i harbor through and through

Darling on the horizon, stranded

Tried and true

 

Footprints, in stone

The trail, known to few

I’ve lived in the shadows

I’ve tried, tried and true

 

When i was younger

No target was too far

Still at a distance 

It begins to fade away

 

Footprints, in stone

The trail, known to few

I’ve lived in the shadow

I’ve tried, tried and true

 

The light, behind, our eyes

To see through

I am the headstone

Far and wide, tried and true

 

Loud as lightning, silent as a grave

Feel the fire of the dawn, another day

 

The light, behind, our eyes

To see through 

I am the headstone

Far and wide, tried and true

 

When i was younger 

No target was too far

Still at a distance

It begins to fade away

Loud as lightning

Silent as a grave

Feel the fire of the dawn

Another day

 

One life, to lose

I harbor, through and through 

Darlin on the horizon, stranded

Tried and true

 

Tried and true

Tried and true

Tried and true

 

5 Corruption at the Cabaret 

 

Right out the window

I take ten when i tango

Invite over the maestro 

We’re taking everything 

 

Tough pistol to swallow

Got all my dice in a row

Abajo el camino

We’re leaving everything 

 

And ill escape before sundown

Yeah ill escape before sundown

Fine have it your way

And get with the getaway

Illusionist’s lingerie 

We’re dropping everything 

 

And ill escape before sundown

Yeah ill escape before sundown

Its going down

 

Going down

6 Fine with the end

 

I’ve been living in a sea of trouble 

Which i learned to defend

And i know that your feeling fine now

Just be fine with the end

 

What your saying to me little darling

You can say it again

Im not gonna just roll over 

And i can say it again

And i will say it again

 

And as of now it is on the table

Too loud to pretend

And right now you best be able

To be fine with the end

 

So what your saying to me little darlin

I can say it again

But i have made up my decision 

To be fine with the end

To be fine with the end

 

Fine with end, fine with the end, fine with end

 

Ive been living in a sea of trouble

Which i learned to defend

And i know that your feeling fine now

Just be fine with the end

Yeah be fine with the end

 

So what your saying to me little darlin

You can say it again

Im not gonna just roll over

And i can say that again

Just be fine with the end

 

Fine with the end, fine with the end, fine with the end

 

7. Tides of time

 

Y’aint the first to want to tear it down

Y’aint the first to want to tear it down

Y’aint the first nor only around

Y’aint the first to want to tear it down

Ill tell you now

 

This is no unbroken boulevard 

This is no unbroken boulevard 

On our way to that old graveyard 

This is no unbroken boulevard 

Ill tell you now

 

And i know, for certain

Its what we designed

In the battle, that we’re fighting

On the frontlines of our mind

 

Tough and cold as the oceans spray

Tough and cold as the oceans spray

The dust in your eyes will soon wash away

Tough and cold as the oceans spray

Ill tell you now

 

Harsh and tender are the tides of time

Harsh and tender tides of time

Dont let any of that slow your stride

Harsh and tender the tides of time

Ill tell you now

 

And i know for certain

Its what we designed

In the battle that we’re fighting

On the frontline of our mind

 

8. To the passsions

 

Right as rain

Bloodstains 

Remain

 

Its easy

To learn

The hard way

 

Dont be late

Inmate

Of fate

 

Heres my rations

To the

Passions

 

It aint so easy now 

to turn around 

when its never over

 

No need to look away 

because we are here stay 

we are the owners

X2

To the passion x4

 

9. Last words

 

If i were to tell you what would i say

Rather have you hate me, than feel sorry for me

I dont care what the people say, choose your truth before

You get in my way of walking out that door

 

Out of,

my house home and my herd to,

Kick up dust and the wind will,

Carry out my last words through,

Souls of ones that are,

Out of,

the house home and the herd to,

Kick up dust and the wind will,

Carry out the last words

Carry out my last words

 

Agonized and deeply still, taken day by day

Not a drink nor a pill can take the pain away

Running just gives me power, more than i can take

Sooner or later there will be an open gate

 

Out of,

My house home and my herd to,

Kick up dust and the wind will, 

Carry out my last words through,

Souls of ones that are

Out of,

The house home and the herd to,

Kick up dust and the wind will,

Carry out the last words 

Carry out my last words

 

Just because you say it, dont make it true

Try to relate it, still no value

Fair is just where we wind up

When we see it through

Hold your breathe, escape of death

Ill see what i get to

 

Out of,

My house home and my herd to,

Kick up dust and the wind will, 

Carry out my last words through,

Souls of ones that are

Out of,

The house home and the herd to,

Kick up dust and the wind will,

Carry out the last words to,

Souls of ones that are 

Out of,

My house home and my herd to,

Kick up dust and the wind will, 

Carry out my last words through,

Souls of ones that are

Out of,

The house home and the herd to,

Kick up dust and the wind will,

Carry out the last words 

Carry out my last words

Carry out the last words

Running with the wolves, well you wont get lost

It was never out of our hands

We were born unto this land

To build a fire from our soul

And take control of these coals

If you give up thats on you

You have no idea, what you could be through

Could be through x 2

 

I aint waiting for sudden disease 

I already know whats coming for me

So let hammer down, down that road

I believe in you, and you alone

You alone x 2
