Madness

Copyright: 2/16/96
Madness

If you play you may pay
So be careful when you do
Life can be so cruel
Dealt a hand of death
Drugs and sex can move you
Into a new plateau
Watch out for the sign of the day.

People contracting AIDS all the time
Innocence forgetting the stance
Playing with fire can kill you
Slowly your brittle bones rag
No known cure for dishonor
Can you really take the chance?
Ignorance can be so sublime.

Children who never had sex
Contract it, herding it unknowingly
It's a shame to watch them die
Innocent and shunned they must be
So protect yourself and others
Make sure your children live
Protection is the key to the text.

Madness quits for no man
No one should go out that way
Things we cannot nearly explain
Madness of society regrets
Incidents we cannot decipher
They shouldn't be death's brand.

Death's Door

Copyright: 1\10\99
Dedicated to the memory of: Dee Govan
Death's Door

Life is so infinitely fragile
We sail the seas of love
And passion means nothing
When everything is said and done.

Death is so completely final
And hearts sink in abysmal ink
As we strum our fingers
And try hard not to think.

Cataclysmic cannons fire upon
The lives and deaths of past
As through it all sorrow stands
Within midst of breaths last.

(chorus)

Did you see the sun today?
Did you wisp the morning air?
Have you tasted the first dew.
At death's door, it's not fair.

Beginnings pretend to prove love
We feel, hate, pant and wonder
What is on the opposite side
As life fades from the thunder.

Out spoken killer regrets nothing
Watching the children quickly die
Death steps in and takes hold
Upon the youth of power and we cry.

Peace only comes to those kind
And death pursues any who struggle
But we can plainly, truly see
Your memories display affectionate lulls.

(chorus)

Did you see the sunset today?
Did you soak in the violet rays?
Have you smelled the fall?
At death's door, the final days.

The demon takes charge
And the suffering begins
But through it all now
She casts a smile at it's sin.

(repeat both chorus')
