Stumble 04:59
Well I've owned my mistakes and I'm sure that I'll own a number more Before I finally head on out that door 'Til I leave the world I know I must walk this winding path But I need a hand to hold on to me fast Lest I dash myself on the stone Or get caught in the dangerous snare I need someone on whom to cast all my cares Cause I've been apt to Stumble And I'm always likely to fall And I've been known to lose myself And face-plant into the wall Yeah, I need strong hands to hold me Cause I don't know the price of the pearl It's a long way down to get out of this world If the blind should lead the blind They'll both fall into the pit Well I've fallen more than I care to admit So I need two eyes to watch me And keep my feet on the right road Someone strong enough to shoulder all my load Cause I've been apt to Stumble And I'm always likely to fall And I've been known to lose myself And face-plant into the wall Yeah, I need strong hands to hold me Cause I don't know the price of the pearl It's a long way down to get out of this world But I can't trust a man for anything They'll just lead you on like a string No, I need someone that's divine Someone willing to suffer for me and die Cause I've been apt to Stumble And I'm always likely to fall And I've been known to lose myself And face-plant into the wall Yeah, I need strong hands to hold me Cause I don't know the price of the pearl It's a long way down to get out of this world

I've been burdened with this weight For a long long time And it's only getting heavier Putting in your two cents and your dime And the full moon is peeking through Behind the clouds to see What is all this going on? Is it lunacy? Or maybe just me The morning dew sets as the candle burns out Is this a feeling from within To hope and pray to be without Am I outside looking in Or inside looking out? Playing the part you do it so well Tiny fiddles and crocodile tears Don't you know your lack of empathy Has set us back years? Look the clock keeps ticking And I'm sure I've said my piece I consider it a crying shame But I hope your mind is at ease The morning dew sets as the candle burns out Is this a feeling from within To hope and pray to be without The morning dew sets as the candle burns out Is this a feeling from within To hope and pray to be without

Alethophobia 05:57
In seeking no counsel at the mouth of the Lord The wisest men make themselves fools Struggling to answer these questions themselves Wondering why their end is so cruel So think, are you fearful of hearing the truth? Would you know it if it were so? The ones that are there are not even aware Their ignorance is all that they know They're hypnotized by the light And mesmerized by the sound And paralyzed by the sight of what is going down I see it clearly now And I am not afraid Of the truth anyway... If I wear the full armor of God I'll find that faith is my shield The sword of the Spirit, The Word of God These are the weapons I wield So if I stand upon the field of battle With this one weapon in my hand It's given me victory over my enemy Even if I die where I stand I'm not hypnotized by the light Or mesmerized by the sound Or paralyzed by the sight of what is going down I see it clearly now And I am not afraid Of the truth anyway... So think, are you fearful of hearing the truth? Would you admit it if it were so? Will you break loose and acknowledge the truth Or continue to go with the flow And be hypnotized by the light And mesmerized by the sound And paralyzed by the sight of what is going down That's not us anymore And you never can tell Who'll wake up from sleep and see the lies for which they fell I see it clearly now And I am not afraid Of the truth anyway...

Electronic voices always come at me Telling me the way things ought to be Don't they realize that I plainly see That they're only gaslighting me? Electronic voices always planting seeds But what's sown today reaps misery Chip away the stone 'til we're no longer free And just another page in history Telling me the way things ought to be That ain't the way things ought to be And we used to hang on every word Their report was the truth that we all heard And because we always knew the face We could trust the fourth estate Bedrock principles, they're worn so thin One cannot tell where they begin Trustworthy pillar of society So very sad to see it end Telling me the way things ought to be That ain't the way things ought to be And we used to hang on every word Their report was the truth that we all heard And because we always knew the face We could trust the fourth estate

The Word 05:50
We're only passing through this space, never to return For as we pass about the sun, the sun also passes in turn See how we drift away through space, and across the universe Where you'll be tomorrow is not where you are today Oooh.... We're only here for awhile, the earth all our needs provide Deals to us life and death, and her soil receives us when we die Time will melt all our days away, and like the grass and flower It will all pass away, It's all reserved for fire Oooh... Do you ever wonder where it all came from? There are depths no man can plumb Such thoughts can make a man feel small If he even thinks at all Haven't you read? Haven't you heard? It's written down in The Word Haven't you read? Haven't you heard? It's written down in The Word I'm only passing through this world, is not my home One day I'll leave it all, but I won't be leaving alone There are other worlds than these, but we need eyes to see We must have ears to hear, and just one mouth to speak Oooh... Do you ever wonder where it all came from? Who can count the sum? Such thoughts can make a man feel small If he even thinks at all Haven't you read? Haven't you heard? It's written down in The Word Haven't you read? Haven't you heard? It's written down in The Word

Lakeside Inn 03:48
I gotta get on out before the thunder rolls 'Cause there's a storm coming, that's how it goes The going gets tough and it's time to flee To leave it all behind and take it to the sea Where time will wash away all of my worries and all of my cares The trees swiftly go by; it's good to be breathing the salt in the air I need time to think, and consider what has been I'll think it out, at the Lakeside Inn Well it won't work out 'cause I won't do the work I don't want the problems I just want the perks When it all goes bad I run to get free I escape the situation but I can't escape me But time will wash away all of my worries and all of my cares The world is passing me by but it's good to be breathing the salt in the air When there's a choice to make, it's either sink or swim I'll work it out, at the Lakeside Inn Time will wash away all of my worries and all of my cares But like a bird I must fly, It will be good to take to the air To finish is much too hard, I only know how to begin I'll see what's next, at the Lakeside Inn

Not concerned about the blame It wouldn't matter anyway But I'm sure about one thing It did not have to end this way Now I know that you're not afraid to die But you can't always just turn your face and hide Truth is right before you but you push it all aside Cause it's easier to believe the lies The tunes we sang were much the same The tune, it changed along the way Much is lost but little gained And the price is just to high to pay Now you know that I'm not afraid to die But I can't always just turn my face and hide Truth is right before me but I push it all aside Cause it's easier to believe the lies No I don't think that you tried to see it my way You know my constitution's running low Cause we don't sing in harmony no more But we know that we're not afraid to die And we can't always just turn away and hide Truth is right before us but we push it all aside Cause it's easier to believe the lies Some roads offer no way back Find I'm on a one way track My only light has fallen black And I remember what I lack

When the masters call the tune The people dance, dance, dance And their eyes won't overlook you There's not a chance, chance, chance Fear is what their selling, and all the world is buying But I don't want to buy that product no more Beauty's in the beholder's sight So close your eyes, eyes, eyes That's what they've been telling you But it's all lies, lies, lies Look you'll see the darkness everywhere Can't you sense the hatred in the air? But you won't see me anymore Cause I'm leaving Babylon There's too much evil to ignore That's why I'm heading for Zion Better a servant in the temple of God Than king of an evil world I'm afraid they know about us We better run, run, run And if you'll take my advice Pack a gun, gun, gun Well don't show your face and don't dare trust a soul And don't look back 'til you're far beyond their control But you won't see me anymore Cause I'm leaving Babylon There's too much evil to ignore That's why I'm heading for Zion Better a servant in the temple of God Than king of an evil world We better run, run, run We better run, run, run

about

Alethophobia (noun) \ ə-ˈle-thō-fō-bē-ə \
: 1. A crippling fear of truth. 2. The inability to accept unflattering facts about your nation, religion, culture, ethnic group, or yourself.

Ever feel like you're being lied to? Perhaps the media isn't telling you the complete truth? Maybe the government isn't worthy of your trust? Or is it closer to home? Are your friends and relatives honest with you? Maybe you've even been lying to yourself. We won't lie to you - this album doesn't necessarily have the answer. But maybe, just maybe, it can help you ask the right questions.

about

Black Creek Rock Gadsden, Alabama

Do you like crunchy guitar tones, thick bass, jangling piano, swelling organ and the raspy crack of the snare? If so, look no further because you've found it. This duo is from the deep south near to the muddy banks of Black Creek in Northeast Alabama. No profanity, no vulgarity, just music about subjects that are of interest to us. Thanks for visiting! ... more
