Brother Your Lover
01:46

Brother, your lover was found under water
We couldn't pull her out in time
Mother, your eldest, your sweet son, your blithest
Is hurting, his heart torn like mine
Brother, you must know we wouldn't give up
Not til the last breath of air left her chest
The minutes dragged on into hours that night
And the hours weren't some of her best
She knew you loved her
She knew that you were her beautiful, wonderful knight
Brother, your lover was found under water
We couldn't pull her out in time
Mother, your eldest your sweet son, your blithest
Is hurting, his heart torn like mine
I loved her as if she were mine
But I won't ever tell you, my brother

The message came early one October morning
The dead leaves shivering cold and afraid
The sun went a-hiding behind clouds a-mourning
The popping of camera flashes where he laid
But where did he go
Where do we go
In a different time they would've come seen you
In a different time, in a different place
In a moment the bullet was finding its way to
A different time, a different place
On a different pathway they would have loved you
On a different path, in a different choice
On a different roadside they would have seen you
On a different path, a time that's not there anymore

Peter In Chains

My boy, sweet Peter
What’s got you in them chains
You know they already beat her
The third’s in labor pains
Oh, new world will take its reins!
My son, oh, Peter
Why those buckles weigh you down
She’s got you ‘round her finger
Now don’t let her see that frown
Spill no tears on that gown!
But, son
Don’t you fall in love
Oh, son
Don’t you fall in love with the lies
Oh, dear me, Peter
You’re love sick as can be
She’s got no heart to feed her
She’s got no business with me
Oh, she’ll suck your soul out clean
She go’n suck your soul out clean!
Oh, fruit o’ mine, Peter
Don’t believe a word she’ll claim
She knows they’ll throw her in the heater
You’re just a pawn in her game
Oh, she only loves your name!
But, son
Don’t you fall in love
Oh, son
Don’t you fall in love with the lies
Don’t you fall in love with the lies
She’s a liar and a cheat and a scam
Don’t you believe a word she breathes
Cause your family’s there in the end
Only your family is there ‘til the end
Only your family is there ‘til the end!

The Dreaming Wolf
01:36
|
|||
Running in the sunlight, and
Howling at the moon, my
Face against the rushing wind, my
Death is coming soon
The wolf is on the prowl, my
Dreams are still alive, old
Retribution calls my name, but
I'm running out of sight!
The storm is brewing faster,
The clouds are boiling high,
The anger and the wanderlust are
Burning through my eyes
The monsters want my flesh, the
Terrors want my bone, I'm
Singin' all my fears away, but
I'll be all alone
The wolf is on the prowl, my
Dreams are still alive, old
Retribution calls my name, but
I'm running out of sight!
My daddy can't come save me, my
Father doesn't care, the
Wolf within me wants to run, my
Future can't be here
My blood is still on fire, my
Dreams are still alive, my
Eyes are on the horizon, I'm
Running out of sight

Invisible Friend
01:33
|

"here's to you, my lonely friend
my faded friend, my oldest friend
trembling hands hold our hearts
bodies warming wayward souls
holding high a torch atop a distant peak
our voices carry with the wind;
whispers of affection we can only infer
the fireplace sits empty in preparation
although it's long delayed
still there is an extra place saved for my arrival
although know I sleep under stars
that are forever apart
I drink tonight to only you;
for I know you're right behind me
cheeks still free of eyes
eyes that look right through me
I drink to you, my lonely friend
my only friend,
my best friend;
although I've never seen you"
- Cameron St. Louis

Christmas Melodies
03:27
|

Christmas melodies are singing through the city
Snow and candlelight and stars and colors gleaming
Children beaming, playing, skiing on the ice
Candy, cocoa, milk and cookies smell so nice
(through the city
Snow and candlelight and stars and colors gleaming
Children beaming, beaming, beaming, beaming)
Grandmother’s piano playing Christmas carols
Candy stores are selling peppermints by the barrel
Friends are holding hands and singing it’s a wonder
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers, I can't under-
-stand, why anyone wouldn’t join and take my hand
Start singing Christmas songs throughout the land
This Christmas will be the best, so that’s the plan
Christmas melodies are singing through the city
Snow and candlelight and stars and colors gleaming
Friends are holding hands and singing it’s a wonder
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers, I can't understand
Christmas melodies are singing,
Snow and starlight brightly gleaming
Christmas is the best
So take my hand and we can take a rest
