Prisoner's Creed

There's a man in need
His past has found itself
There's a man who sees
What it's like for no one else
Brother from the gutter
The wheels came off your ride
Grace don't see no losers
Compassion I feel for your strife
Though I don't share your cage
Nor the grief of your life
I offer you this prayer
For peace that you will find inside

Sense of Divinity
04:13
|
|

Been searching for signs of things I can't find
This day and time are killing me
Offhand words, a media blur
Gets me disturbed and leaves me deceived
And I know we all have pain
Brothers and sisters humane
Upset the decree and we all disagree
I don't share in your theme, sets us apart
You ask me why I follow the narrow line
A sense of divine enrages your heart
And I know we all have pain
Brothers and sisters humane
We can hate, we can kill, slander our brother
Destroy ourselves like a sick mother...
A blood red rose bed
One bullet and dead
If but one head
Had all of mankind

Darkest Hour
06:00
|
|
||
|
I shaped my time the instant that I fled
And woman, I could never love you any less
But these many miles that I've roamed
Are weighing so heavy on my withered soul
I dream of the end when sleep comforts me
No sorrow or longing, nor burdens will I keep
I've ventured so long with these misguided hands
Burning my own trail to the Promised Land
If there's freedom out there
And I believe no price to pay
In my darkest hour
Truth's light will shine the way

Apart From Me
04:41
|
|
||
|
Once I had a belief
In one man full of grief
Viewed your death in my eyes
Hindsight was my life all lies
No more thought of brotherhood
Selfish gain for my own good
I found a way to separate
Felt the need to compensate
Long ago and far away
The memory of your truth that day

The Black Is Never Far
06:02
|
|
||
|
Awaken to this day, my body's already starved
Continuation, the black is never far
My heart seeks the light, but thoughts abask in dark
It starts with a tear, then rips into a scar
As I stand right here, my honesty has to speak
Your drugs of contentment couldn't hold me down in peace
I've got an urge to kill and god I know it's wrong
Save me Lord save me, don't need no prison yard as home
Save my soul before my last love is hate
Then I won't beg for patience and I'll become failsafe
I got a beautiful woman who stands strong at my side
And a mighty god in Father Yah, still my reasons just don't rhyme
A little pill is supposed to kill and let my anger subside
But if I slit a wrist or connect my fist, would an innocent face survive?
I'm getting much too close while looking to turn back
And I can see the end of my rope, how it's frayed and unwrapped
A blast from the past can't exonerate my goals
To a peaceful end in a six foot black hole

We the Unrighteous
02:38

We got Whitey, a cracker agenda
We got Redskins jailed on reservations
We got Hymies excelling in business
Aryan Nation to keep them in check
(spoken)
Stop judging others, and you will not be judged. For others will treat you as you treat them. Whatever measure you use in judging others, it will be used to measure how you are judged. And why worry about a speck in your brother's eye when you have a log in your own?
We got Niggaz, expect restitution
We got Wetbacks stealing jobs
Politicians approve their own raises
We got Pigs with badges to kill
(spoken)
Whatever measure you use in judging others, it will be used to measure how you are judged. And why worry about a speck in your brother's eye when you have a log in your own? First get rid of the log from your own eye, then perhaps you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your brother's eye.
We got Asians, a slant eyed invasion
We got Dagos to organize crime
Bible beaters quoting revelation
Devil worship to endorse the fall
(spoken)
How can you think of saying, 'Let me help to get rid of that speck your eye,' when you can't see past the log in your own? Hypocrite first get rid of the log from your own eye, then perhaps you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your brother's eye.
We got Rednecks, inbred white trash
We got Faggots, with matching genitalia
We got Ragheads promoting the terror
We got lies to cover the cost
Hypocrite...

Masters of Jest
04:10
|
|
||
|
There's a way that seems right unto mankind
But therein lies the ways of death
It takes a lot of trying to keep on denying
Paupers and peasants, masters of jest
Unrealized, mortality thrives
Finally gives way to the ending age
No strength in numbers, wing left or right
The Morning Light brings time's decay
All our ways that seem so right
Lay inside the ways of death
All our trying and our denying
Paupers and peasants, masters of jest

Lookin' For a Reason
06:27

Dear lady remorse, picking my brain
Got no place to go is no place to be
But I got a gun and I got some bullets
Say a word and I'll put one right through ya
The red glow of scorn and proud disdain
Put together a plan, the ninth one today
That look in your eye is so far away
And the mirror don't lie, will today be the day?
The words of the book I'm writing today
Are twisted lines of ladders and snakes
With no conclusion of what's to come
Just a matter of time when this dam will break

Relentless

Now I don my electric axe
I'm gonna lay you on your back
All psyched up and ready to go
They take you to hell, won't you say hello?
Walk with me through the black house
What a wild trip, you're such a louse
Feel the power as it prevails
As you listen to sinister tales
Why do you hold your head so low?
Are you afraid of your mystical soul?
Feel the metal and feel it deep
Out from the walls flows true belief
When in doubt what do you do?
Do you know how to see it through?
Forever in your life will he forgive
Wasting your soul that he once gave
Do you know my name? I doubt if you do
But you'd be surprised if I told it to you
Looks are deceiving, I'm not what I seem
For I got more power than you may believe
Oh take it!
So relentless, oh yeah
So relentless

Changed Heart
03:40
|
|
||

Humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord
He'll lift us up in due time
He's never late and He's never wrong
Able to save and destroy, this is His song
Let no man say he's been tempted by God
There's no evil in Him to tempt anyone
But we're all tempted when we're drawn away
By our own desires we give way
And I pray for a changed heart
To walk with you Lord, and never depart
And I pray for a changed heart
You grant me the grace for a new start
And when that desire has been conceived
It gives birth to our sinful disease
So lay aside all your filth and woes
And accept the Holy Word which saves our souls
Submit to God and the devil will flee
Changed my heart so graciously
I humble myself in the sight of the Lord
Who's Word is sharper than a double-edged sword
And I pray for a changed heart
To walk with you Lord, and never depart
And I pray for a changed heart
You grant me the grace for a new start

WAGNER - In The Lonely Light of Mourning
by ERIC WAGNER
supported by 18 fans who also own “The Black Is Never Far”
Eric Wagner to me is a poet and a storyteller, his lyrics are thoughtful and profound and to take a quote about Chris Cornell “Nobody sings like him anymore”. He should never have died it was avoidable. Ask his bass player Ron Holzner? Too many rockers live recklessly and it has consequences for not just them and those in their families and friends but in the world wide family of rock and rollers. Live Long and Prosper Eric run to the light.

A formidable return of classic Doom.

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space.
