When it happened, you asked me to forget
Even though I asked you to remember
It’s grip caught us both like fish in a net
And the world we knew was changed forever
The angels came down from the sky falling
With broken wings, bloodied wounds and frail limbs
You weren’t listening when you heard me calling
You only heard Heaven’s destructive hymns
The gates are now closed to this dying earth
To be never opened ever again
On this wrecked ground there is no time for mirth
As the dead number in thousands of ten.
That fateful day marked the end of a dream
You broke down when I asked you not to scream

We need each other
And if the mountains should crumble and fall
And if everything is drowned in the sea
I won’t be afraid. I won’t cry at all
Because I have good friends who stand by me
I don’t know where I’m heading nor what I’ve seen
But I do know that we need each other
We can’t turn ‘round and head back where we’ve been
Friendship is indeed a powerful tool
It will keep me going through this lifetime
Friends don’t think I’m a jerk. They think I’m cool
And in bleaker times, they are my lifeline
But all my friends have all packed up and gone
And I’m acting on a lie to keep on

Celtic blood
I can pick up a sword ‘cos I can fight
I am eager to explore lands far away
I’m prepared to give my life for what’s right
And I have tales and stories to say
My home is an island of trees and green
Where the bond of kinship keeps running strong
But my true birthplace is one I haven’t seen
However my heritage has not gone
I have walked this earth for so many years
With spirits of my family to guide me
My ancestral strength protects me from fears
From invaders wherever they may be
Though our world is gone, our spirit won’t fall
I have Celtic blood and I’ll heed it’s call

Sad, Beautiful Little Goth Girl
I am so glad that you are my best friend
Because with you I can do anything
I’ll play on this guitar so you can sing
With you my happiness will never end
Some brain dead fools think you’re cracked in the head
But if there’s a problem, it’s all theirs
You are different, you live without cares
And that’s why I make your love my soft bed
Who needs those pricks when we have each other?
Such is our love’s strength, I know it’ll stand tall
Even when angels come and heaven falls
With you I don’t need no other lover
Let me in your kingdom. I’ll be your king
When night falls, I bring you my love undying

Please stay with me
Please stay with me, I need you here today
Without you I don’t know what I’ll be
Can’t you see I want you to stay with me?
I don’t want this pure joy to go away
With you I can conquer any demon, any fear
Without you I wouldn’t have been stronger
So I ask you to stay a little longer
I don’t want you to go - I need you here
There is still so much that I have to say
Despite everyone telling me I’m wrong
But a house is not a home with you gone
So I’m not wanting the end of this day
A wide ocean divides us forever
But one day we will be together

Electrical Storm
Last night the skies screamed, rumbled and roared
The darkness lit up as the lightening flashed
The soaked earth shook as the thunderbolts crashed.
And the world heard the wrath of the sky’s lord
The heavens brought forth their fury and rage
An unstoppable ire that burned and fumed
A ghastly war that exploded and boomed
Herding all living things into a cage
I lay on my bed with a loaded gun
The noise outside distancing me from sleep
Whilst I drowned on paranoia so deep
I waited for the coming of the sun
And as through the night the sky’s temper flared
The next day, war on Iraq was declared.

Friday evening
With roaring engines and screeching of tyres
We go in a car, heading for the town
We’ll find a bar, our sorrows we will drown
While inside excitement burns in fires
We drive through town, bright neon lights flash past
Loud guitars pump on the car stereo
Eating chocolate we go with the flow
The night is so young so lets make it last
Five days of hard work has come to an end
So lets grasp freedom with our own two hands
No more assignments, no more boss’ demands
To our stomachs lots of beer we will send
So lets go drink and be merry. Why wait?
The week is over so lets celebrate
