In a world they try to reign

In a world they cannot change

I’ll collect souls for cleansing
In a world of deep despair
I’ll collect souls for mending
In a world of endless dare

I see evil thriving
In a world lost in tears

I see justice dying
In a world locked in fear

I hear sinful laughter
In a world of dreadful fools

I hear unanswered prayers
In a world of rancid gruel

I’ll collect souls for cleansing
In a world of deep despair
I’ll collect souls for mending
In a world of endless dare

I know not when it will end
It’s too hard to tell

I know not how it will end
It’s a living Hell

Journey to the Troubadour

No lights on the horizon, hot desert air
Crossing this land, without a care
We exit the highway, just north of nowhere
To the right is eternity, to the left is despair

The journey’s been long, and much to our dismay
We’ve been working for years, for so little pay
Our lives are empty, like the words in this song
We're just trying to survive, as we move along

The lady was tall, with long black hair
Her face was grey, from the smoke in the air
Her mynah bird sat screeching, strange words in the night
“White spots on my wings, yellow wattle for hair”
“What will happen to me, when I fly through the air?”
She said this was common, to hear such a rage
She said the bird was blind and couldn’t fly anyway
We paid for our gas, and were on our way
300 miles to go, and we’d be in LA

The journey’s been long, and much to our dismay
We’ve been working for years, for so little pay
Our lives are empty, like the words in this song
We're just trying to survive, as we move along

We sped down the highway, found a place to stay
The owner smelled of whisky and showed us the way
The casitas were dusty, the linens were bare
He said not to worry, the maid would be there
An old lady came and cleaned up the room
We asked for clean sheets and she said, “It’s too soon,
Besides, they’re only changed in every other room”
She said she had friends and we could party all night
We told her, “No thanks” we’d be all right

The journey’s been long, and much to our dismay
We’ve been working for years, for so little pay
Our lives are empty, like the words in this song
We're just trying to survive, as we move along

After sleeping for a three hours, we got back on the road
Avoiding the desert heat, that we’d come to know
The bright lights of LA appeared through the haze
This time we knew, we were on our way
Doug had made us an offer, so we decided to go
The long trip would be worth it, or so we were told
The West Hollywood traffic was moving along well,
The bright lights on Santa Monica Blvd, casting their spell
We pulled up to where many had been before, we were finally at the Troubadour
Doug greeted us at the door and said with a smile, “Come on in, and play for a while”

The journey’s been long, and with all certainty
We know we took the right turn to eternity

Hi AMZAMZ & F Spider,
Thanks for moving my "pieces of work" to an appropriate venue. And I love the "homework" pic. It is classic!

I have an architect-friend-turned-writer, that has an endless supply of them

The First Time

I'll always remember
The first time I said
If I ever fall in love
I'd rather think of dying instead

And I'll always remember
The first time you tried
Tearing our love apart
Throwing your ring aside

And now you tell me
You love him too
Your unfaithful love
Is all he'll ever get from you

And the last time I saw you
I said we were through
I'll die a million deaths
Before going back to you

So now you've come back
You say you've have changed
You'll make it up to me
In all your loving ways

But I know you too well
So go your own way
And when running back to him
Wipe those little tears away

I'll always remember
The first time
Oh, darling
I'll always remember
The first time
