Hmm Hmm 04:18
I wish we'd never met It would be easier If you didn't know me Perhaps then you could Apologies don't work I see Habits are hard to change If I made an effort I believe That the world would see Hmm hmm, wish we'd never met Hmm hmm, would be easier if you were a stranger I gave up long ago Pushing through just weakened me Dialogues are monologues My words a soliloquy We're programmed not to see each other Avoidance is customary The past has left a scar a frown between You and me Hmm hmm, wish we'd never met Hmm hmm, would be easier if you were a stranger We let the sun go down on our anger No gift will be accepted at the altar We let the sun go down on our anger We could have forgiveness with the stars as our witnesses

And even if I should fall Fall down from the mountaintop To which I fell in love with you Even if I hit the ground The stony stony floor And crack my skull and break every single bone Even if What if I would be I know I’d be Even if I should lose Lose the torchlight handed me By your hands, your hands my dear And even if I’m consumed Swallowed by the cold darkness Without the heat, the light, your love Even if What if I would be Oh would I be Okay? Even if you are gone, even if you leave my life, Even if my future looks empty of purpose Even if the days close down, in disrepute and disrepair Even if the seasons, and times are set, times are set But I know the blueprints are on the table I know the blueprints are on the table

I am perfectly willing, I’ll sacrifice my life, but I’ll sacrifice yours first Though we do not see eye to eye, I have no desire to satisfy your thirst Beautiful and lost in light Reaching out, then out of sight Back to base, face to face, spit and snarl, punching out my insides Raise your arms in great alarm, with spot on spot off spot you in the afterlife Beautiful and lost in light Reaching out, then out of sight - On the ground there was a stain, Passed by feet and washed by rain

I struggle to know the way onward, The road splits into a million more, And the signposts are in a language I haven't bothered to learn. I'm chasing after the wind, I thought I heard a voice. I need a straight road marked "take me", A mind that doesn't change at every turn, I need eyes I can pin to a target, A heart that I can keep in a cage. Decisions are everlasting, Doubts muddle my sense of direction. All of the answers are just out of sight, Will I ever make it to them? I'm chasing after the wind, I didn't see which way it went. I need a straight road marked "take me", A mind that doesn't change at every turn, I need eyes I can pin to a target, A heart that I can keep in a cage. I'll chase after the wind, Lord, If that's what you want me to do.

Right in the beginning, there was nothing Then nothing exploded, and there were planets Now we walk around with unneeded baggage The four-fingered hand A part of the new ruling-class plan The truth it doesn't really matter in the world of make-disbelieve Slitting gills in our necks and living under the sea Only one thing restrains you from being perfectly free The eight-fingered man A part of the new ruling class plan Eight-fingered human race The new evolution is in place

Creamy Tears 01:05

You ask me why have I been Such a gentleman towards you lately You suspect I have ulterior motives And I confess: You're absolutely right Well I just thought that you might've had Something small which belonged to me Long ago in the garden Before I fell asleep... God performed unrequested surgery on me And though my side has never properly healed For what He did I am so grateful You ask me why am I now Such a different man from who I used to be You have seen a dramatic change Which you cannot explain, so I will: Well I was travelling down the road With intentions and with authority To persecute the Christians But then I saw the Lord... God performed unrequested surgery on me And though my eyes have never quite recovered What I had before I now count as loss You ask me what is the cost; Why would God perform these operations? I should be disgraced for my conduct He did it purely for His holy name's sake He said: "I will give you a new heart And put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone And give you... "A heart of flesh, and I will put my Spirit in you And move you to follow my decrees And be careful to keep my laws."

- With his mouth full of teeth and his hair full of straw And his hands in his eyes and his feet at the door From the holes in his shoes to the burns on his hands He's lost, he's lost right there where he stands With her eyes full of hearts and her heart full of tears And her tongue in her mouth and her hands in her ears From the cuts on her face down to her grazed knees She's lost, she's lost right there where she is -

I walk side by side with Death He's kept out of my way so far Oh I have seen glimpses of him And I know one day our paths will cross, but Funerals are a passing craze There's one for me, no less, no more I'll shake your hand with joy one day Death you're just an ugly door Those who've died have slipped away They have gone far beyond your grasp One day one day one day one There will be no fear of your name, cos Funerals are a passing craze There's one for them, no less, no more I'll shake their hands with joy one day Death you're just an ugly door "Blessed are those who're invited to The wedding supper of the Lamb!" But death you will be thrown into The lake of fire the second death Then Death you'll die You will be the last enemy destroyed. "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"

Kiitos 02:39
Kiitos Isi että olet aina uskollinen Kiitos että et hylkää mua Vaikka mä kyllä oon kauas harhaillut Ja kauan pitänyt muuta tärkeimpänä Kiitos Isi että rakastat mua lakkaamatta Kiitos että mut otat vastaan Lapsenasi voin sanoa Aurinko kun alkaa laskeutua Hyvää yötä Jeesus myötä Kiitos tästä päivästä Se oli mukava kun Jeesus oli mukana Ja Hän on aina mukana

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How then can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.

about

Coming back from a life-changing trip to Finland, there was only one thing Richard was looking forward to in South Africa - some time in the studio with Jonan. One short week of recording music in the upstairs room till midnight, and they had five demo tracks.

There was really no choice then. Richard had to move to the Studio, the place where young men, an old film veteran, and visionary-owner Marius were working at fulfilling their dreams of creativity and film production. Life in the Studio's slow-town Sedgefield entailed far more than the casual observation of paragliders above the nearby hill and buying mini donuts at the saturday market. Theological studies in the day for Richard, camerawork and editing jobs for Jonan, and crazy nights in the studio of humble-drum beats, 9-layered vocal tracks, and experiments upon learning curves in mixing for them both saw the forming of a "whole" from many separate compositions made over the past 5 years; the unexpected beauty of the marriage of two musical minds.

about

Refrigerator Club WC, South Africa

It all started with the Dean's yearly week-long trips to Bethany farm. Sometimes the drums would be packed into the car. MP3 player recordings of the jamming sessions would be spliced into alblums. One day, we should be in a real band. Well God blessed us with a year at a studio (and possibly more), so we recorded an album, which contains years' worth of compositions. ... more
