Conversation: Sheep to Tony, Tony to Sheep.

Posted by madgarlick on May 9, 2008

Conversation: Sheep to Tony, Tony to Sheep.

 

This is not about oil, its about freedom he said
We show them how life is with choices he said
To choose how to live and to not end up dead
And that is our aim in this war he said.

A life like our own? Is that it ? I said
Our freedom to choose, are you sure I said?
To have faith in the truth, and to not be mislead
Is that your true aim in this war I said.

Yes he said yes yes he said.
To be truly free and to never be dead.
To have lots of choice and to never be led,
Down the sorrowful path of dictation he said.

Well I don’t believe you, I think it’s a lie
For oil and for money these people do die
Your hunger for power is extraordinarily high
And that is why you lie, you lie.

How can you say that how do you know?
It can’t be because I told you so,
For I have said nothing that could contradict
Our allies and their assimilation remit

You must be some kind of traitor I think
So we’ll take all your pens and all of your ink
You’ll write no more, and you’ll dare not think
You’ll dare not think, you’ll dare not think.
You’ll write no more, and you’ll dare not think
You’ll dare not think, you’ll dare not think.
So I wrote no more, and I dared not think.
I dared not think, I dared not think.

Wise Man Memphis

Posted by madgarlick on May 7, 2008

Wise Man Memphis

 

Wise men went to Memphis
Went into the Palace
White All-round surroundings
They don’t see no angels
They don’t come to my place
I ain’t new born Jesus
I’m so superficial
Like my Brother Thom

Call me hypo-nervic
’cause I see rainbows
Rainbows full of Blackness
There ain’t no sun in the sky
Wishing I could touch it
It would send me falling
Like a blue umberella
Thats been put up in the house

Cow smiles, makes me happy
Bitch just hits me back
Asking me to explain
but I don’t know who I am
Cross me on the roadside
Don’t you sit and watch me
say you understand me
but you’ll miss me when I’m gone

Asking me to leave you
I can’t say goodbye
hope i see you sometimes
maybe we can share our love
why do you want to save me
try to free yourself
my heads going to explode
and its just to save my health

Ring of Fire

Posted by madgarlick on May 4, 2008

As I look outside my window
I see cloudbursts in the sky
No-one told me they would explode
No-one told me I would dieStep inside my ring of fire
You can hold me if you want
As the flames rise squeeze me tighter
Then you scream because you need more

You can’t see me when the wind blows
You can’t look into my eyes
All the trees are moving softly
Set in motion by my crys

Steel away my sweet red cherry
Hold it up so you can laugh
Give it to your fellow soul mate
If you keep it it won’t last

Rape me with your hands of silver
Press then hard to brake my heart
Carry me up to see the sun rise
Let me fall when you get tired

Step inside my ring of fire
You can hold me if you want
As the flames rise squeeze me tighter
Then you scream because you need more

Its time to bury the dead

Posted by madgarlick on April 26, 2008

Its time to bury the dead

Its time to bury the dead,
Their blood that was so red,
Is now all brown.

The smell is not so fresh,
A sign of putrid death,
For they are gone.

Got shot down in their prime,
Now they’ll rest, for all time,
A silent sleep

Fall to your knees, its time to weep,
For their bodies the worms will eat,
Their souls departed.

Christain Relic Hope Song

Posted by madgarlick on April 24, 2008

Christian Relic Hope Song

I see your sad face
Looking straight at me
You don’t smile no more
You’re lonely
I see your big blue eyes
Looking greyer
All the pain you felt
You need to feel safer.

If you open up your heart
And you let the people in
You may find me

I see the blind man
Holds his hands down by his side
He tries to make it safe
Until the day he dies
If he put those shaking hands
Right out in front of him
He might just find a world
That wants to let him in

If you open up your heart
And you let the people in
You may find me

I see my king upon a cross
He’s crying a cold tear
If he looked up to the sky
He might just face his fear
I know the devils feeling blue
Can’t get no-body new
So he’s fighting a new cause
He ain’t fighting Christ the lord

If you open up your heart
And you let the people in
You may find me

Bloodthirst, Bloodthirst, Bloodthirst, Roar

Posted by madgarlick on April 21, 2008

Bloodthirst, Bloodthirst, Bloodthirst, Roar

Bloodthirst, bloodthirst, bloodthirst, roar,
Kill the infidels by law
Burn them burn them burn them all
Its time to follow our gods call
Burn their flag and burn their homes
Burn their bodies and hang their bones
Bloodthirst, bloodthirst, bloodthirst, roar
Kill the infidels by law

Bloodthirst, bloodthirst, bloodthirst, roar,
Kill the infidels by law
Hang a tyre around their necks
Watch it melt and burn their heads
Laugh at them when they do scream
They must die by any means
Bloodthirst, bloodthirst, bloodthirst, roar
Kill the infidels by law

Bloodthirst, bloodthirst, bloodthirst, roar,
Kill the infidels by law
Kill their mothers, kill their wives,
Kill their children to stop their lies
There is no place left on earth
For them to live, they have no worth
Bloodthirst, bloodthirst, bloodthirst, roar
Kill the infidels by law

Bloodthirst, bloodthirst, bloodthirst, roar,
Kill the infidels by law
When their leaders all submit
Kill them, kill them, do not quit
Time has come for us to reign
So put a bullet in their brains
Bloodthirst, bloodthirst, bloodthirst, roar
Kill the infidels by law.
