Boiling blood in my veins runs through
Forgetting a love that I never knew
Come now my love move closer to swoon
Tonight you and I will sleep like spoons
Reveal your thoughts to me be assured
You aren't the first girl ever I lured
Into my trap, though bitter I seem
It seems after our first, all's been a dream
Don't look in my eyes, it may show the pain
I know you'll never love me again
Listen to my voice, let it hypnotize
But to play my game would be unwise
Let me entice, let me draw you in
Let me see if it's your love I can win
Ah, closer, yes, that's it...come very near
It's your soft sweet voice I long to hear
Yes, come closer still, I feel your heat
Beneath your breast I hear your heartbeat
Be wary though, for I may strike
With acts of passion and the like
I'm unfeeling, yet I cry
I'm in pain and I don't know why
I want this second chance you see
I want to hurt you like you hurt me
It should be simple, not hard to do
But all anger evaporates when I look at you
Damn...I hate you I loathe you, you cause me disgust
Please, I beg you to come closer, in me you can trust
Strange things are most certainly abound
Since you've come a second time around.

Protest
Look down the silos
Look towards the sky
Look in the country's heart
Look at the darkness
Look at the blood
See that the soul is dark
Oh, but that's not why we compromise
Spreading the "truth" but hiding the lies
How many people are gonna die
Oh the time to act is now
We've got movies for weapons
And Weapons for movies
And all things in-between
We've got missiles in the water
And missiles in the air
Oh the time to act is now
And it's time that we all crack down
Shooting stars and shooting men
They never think of now or then
They only want to win my friend
Oh and the time to act is NOW
THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!

Strength in Nature
A bubbling river over pebbles doth run
Much like the heat from the rays of the sun
In September the leaves of a tree doth fall
Sounding much lik a whooperwill's distant call
Soft almost silent yet for those who know
It cometh like the air of a trumpets blow
All things in comparison are much to the like
Yet all things differ from forest glade to mountain peak
A beauty is evident in all that is seen
And we must tell the children we ween
Nature was here long before man
Nature's survival was God's master plan
A tree can stand for all eternity
Such an ancient thing is magnificent to see
Nature shall strive over any tribe or race
Even when Satan rears his ugly face
Nature is strong, it will never fall
Nature survives below nothing, above all

Divided
The white man
In his white robes
They burn their crosses
A sacreligious deed
The black man
In his gold chains
They shoot their own
All out of greed
Together we stand
Divided we fall
What will help us through it all
God created
Men Destroy
Destroying the world
With dangerous toys
God is good, God is great
Man is filled with greed and hate
Let us stop this endless chain
Man has endured too much pain
Slaves from the South have fought with pride
To free themselves from chains
Jews have fought Hitlers genocide
After him, few remained
United we stand
Divided we fall
How will we live through it all?

When You're Away
See the cage around my soul
See it close and become whole
...My heart is won
Though our love is fairly young
Our souls have joined and become one
...And you know I love you...
...How much I love you
My eyes weep when you're away
My heart's fulfilled when you stay
I never thought I'd feel like this
I never knew I'd need your kiss
I never thought I'd feel as though I'd die
It's strange the way I feel inside
All these emotions I can't hide
...Tell me honey what should I do
But of all these things I've said and done
Of all the people, everyone
Of all the things I ever knew
...I know that I love you.

Untitled (To Endure)
Horizon colors changing hue
Sparkles on the morning dew
The water fountain starts to spew
It's water that is pure
From the window there is a view
Of trees...all of two
These two trees grow of life anew
Forever to endure
Together they grow, at first a sprout
This is what life is all about
Two trees grow without a doubt
Forever to be secure
First there are leaves, then there are flowers
Over all others they start to tower
Together they are an invincible power
Forever to endure...

The Story of Poe & Coleridge
I wrote this in College:
Dread thee who readeth this
Ye shall not return to bliss
The serpent's tongue that tells us bad
The curing plant that drives us mad
Visions of darkness, of death abound
Other times there are colors around
An infinite rainbow of color explodes
As the mind of man slowly erodes
Mad as a killer but able to write
Death overpowers, unable to fight
Visions so strange but all to real
Cause one to write of what they feel
Fantasies and nightmares come alive
And for opium perfection these men will strive
To let us see all that they've beheld
As in black England when the bell knelled
The corpse of a memory, the ghost of a mind
The artist's words become unkind
Frightened by this vision of drug
To past memories they cling and hug
But all is lost, forever gone
Never again will the day dawn
For all is twilight, all is unreal
For opium dreams that the mind doth steal...
Summary:
Basically it refers to the drugs being such a big part of their body of work. Were they great in spite of the drugs...or BECAUSE of the drugs? YOU decide.
