WHAT WE ASPIRE AND WHAT WE ACHIEVE

Thu, 03 May 2012 14:34:00 +0300

O look at you
O look at me
Our fancy dress
How we talk to impress
O look at you
O look at me
Fingers lined with golden rings
O look at you
O look at me
Our rooms are filled with pretty things
O look at you
O look at me
All tumble down 123

Daddy’s on the floor again
Sisters tending garden
Mother likes ‘em lil blue pills
A life caught up in boredom
Tragedy tragedy
This has become you and me
Tragedy tragedy
You, me and the devil make three…
What we aspire and what we achieve
Leaves us begging on bloody knees

You, me and the devil make three…
What we aspire and what we achieve
Leaves us begging on bloody knees

BREATHE

Thu, 03 May 2012 14:29:31 +0300

Breathe…

Your mouth forms a smile
A moment to stop all the dials
Within this love, there lies desire
To see a meeting of truth transpire

Breathe into me, all that you are
I have run so hard, and come so far
Breathe into me
Breathe into me, all that you are
I have run so hard, and come so far
Breathe into me

Breathe…

Past is history - we learn nothing from that
The future is a mystery – we’ll leave it like that
The present is a gift - which we seldom invite
You’ll find me in the moments ‘tween the flickerin’ light

Breathe into me, all that you are
I have run so hard, and come so far
Breathe into me
Breathe into me, all that you are
I have run so hard, and come so far
Breathe into me

Breathe…

Your mouth forms a smile
A moment to stop all the dials
Within this love, there lies desire
To see a meeting of truth transpire

OUR BATTLE CRY

Thu, 03 May 2012 14:19:00 +0300

Bring your scars - your broken hearts
When all for one, the job gets done
The waters we’ll sail and the flag will fly
All aboard, hear our battle cry…

Neither death nor life will break us down
As one we stand, with our eyes set on that crown
Neither death nor life will break us down
Bring on the fire, wind and sand – we now have the upper hand

Leave your wives – and their mournful eyes
Gather the crop, together we tie the knot
The waters we’ll sail and the flag will fly
All aboard, hear our battle cry…

Neither death nor life will break us down
As one we stand, with our eyes set on that crown
Neither death nor life will break us down
Bring on the fire, wind and sand – we now have the upper hand

Lyrics by Joshua Grierson © REFLECTIONS OF FALLING SATELLITES

SECONDS TICKING TO MIDNIGHT

Thu, 03 May 2012 14:14:00 +0300

The deal was set for a simple heist
Quick in and out but no playing nice
But the kid tripped the wire and we fell through the ice
Suzie got the sugar and I got the spice

Blood on our hands
Blood on our hands
It was never part of the original plan
Blood on our hands
Blood on our hands
Got the law chasing us through dust and sand

With Chelsea we would rest for the night
She never asked questions; a good friend of mine
In the backyard we sat and watched the clothes burn
With blood on our hands and a hard lesson to learn

Blood on our hands
Blood on our hands
It was never part of the original plan
Blood on our hands
Blood on our hands
Got the law chasing us through dust and sand

Seconds ticking to midnight
Seconds ticking to midnight
Seconds ticking to midnight
Seconds ticking to midnight

There were lights. There was panic
The house surrounded. Then all went quiet
A rain of bullets, blood and fire
The screams were muted by the birds on the wire
A simple heist, turned horribly bad
Now 3 dead bodies, with blood still on their hands

With blood still on their hands…

All the parts for Volume Two have now been tracked. Joshua Grierson did an awesome job on the 4 songs he sings on. For those keeping track, Volume Two will have 4 songs with vocals and 3 instrumentals that will form a 7 song EP. Now the next step for me is to get them to Ruan Jordaan to be mixed and mastered as soon as possible.

While my two main writing guitars are in to get serviced I almost forgot about this one, so I picked it up and started to relearn a metal track I wrote last year that is going to be completed with the help of a friend. I’ll talk more about it when there are any new developments.

Currently reading “Life”, the Keith Richards autobiography. Good read if you’re a guitar player that wants to know what influenced one the most recognisable names in Rock.
