A Long Year

It’s been a long year
The water is gone
I‘ve dried all my tears
And stand here alone
And now I’m bereft
Of all I hold dear,
It’s been a long year
It’s been a long month
Now winter is here
The nights are so cold
The darkness and fear
A month full of sorrows
With secrets and pain
And now no tomorrows
It’s been a long year
It’s been a long day
Without you around
A day without purpose
A day without sound
Why did I see you
And not hold you back
Just watched you steal away
It’s been a long day

Too much and not enough

This tired old world just gets me down
As people clamour to be found
The injustice and the fight
Oh, oh oh
And I say...
Too much and not enough
Too much and not enough
Too much and not enough, oh oh
Help me to higher ground
I see the gluttony and greed
We all just take more than we need
And in our hypocritical ways
Oh. oh, oh
I just say...
Too much and not enough
Too much and not enough
Too much and not enough, oh oh
Help me to higher ground
And now the new man wears a crown
His subjects hanging on his words
Like the beast with cup in hand,
He betrays them with a smile
Oh, oh, oh
Its a cardinal sin!
So I say...
Too much and not enough
Too much and not enough
Too much and not enough, oh oh
Help me to higher ground
Too much and not enough
Too much and not enough
Too much and not enough, oh oh
Help me to higher ground

'Philistine Tonight'
05:34

I hear a going in the Mulberry trees, somewhere above our heads
I hear a going in the Mulberry trees tonight, just as the prophet said
If I were a Philistine tonight, I’d be worried
If I were a Philistine tonight, I’d be worried for my life, for my life…
They lay before us in the valley below, as we fetch a compass through the trees
I hear a going in the Mulberry trees tonight, and I know its not the wind
If I were a Philistine tonight, I’d be worried
If I were a Philistine tonight, I’d be worried for my life, for my life…
I hear a going in the Mulberry trees, somewhere above our heads
I hear a going in the Mulberry trees tonight, and I know its not the wind
If I were a Philistine tonight, I’d be worried
If I were a Philistine tonight, I’d be worried for my life, for my life…
If I were a Philistine tonight, I’d be worried
If I were a Philistine tonight, I’d be worried for my life
If I were a Philistine tonight, I’d be worried for my life, for my life…

Samson's End
03:14
|

Oh LORD forgive me for the weakness that led me here
The vow made from my youth was broken
I grind in darkness in the prison house, the chains I wear
I feel my strength returning
I will avenge my eyes, my eyes....
Fetters of brass around my feet, they drag me laughing
To the house of Dagon, God of the Philistines
O LORD hear my prayer and give me strength
To honour thee one more time
I feel the pillars of the house
I bow in anger
Let me die with the Philistines!

Weary
04:27

My soul is weary of my life
I’ll leave my complaint upon myself
My soul is weary of my life
I’ll speak in the bitterness of my soul
I will say unto God,
Do not condemn me
Shew me wh’fore thou contend’st with me
Do not condemn me
Thou hast made me as the clay
And wilt thou bring me ‘to dust again
Hast thou not poured me out as milk
And curdled me like cheese
If I sin, then thou markest me
If wick’d, woe unto me
If I be righteous, I not lift up my head
I am full of confusion
Let me alone, that I may take comfort
Before I go whence I shall not return
E’en to the land of darkness
And the shadow of death
My soul is weary of my life
I‘ll leave my complaint upon myself
My soul is weary of my life
I’ll speak in the bitterness of my soul
