Somewhere they say I don't care
But I did, I do, its all of you
Sizzle, crackle, popping, bruises on my feet
Oh, such a high wall to scale

Partial reality
Even the air is thinner
Monotonous memory
Skeletons glimmer

Removing that friggin mountain from infront of me
Cowardice rocks tremble
A king to get his just reward
Giving fairly, humbly, kick that dammed skeleton

Let the dead breathe
Rise, Oh dead ones, rise
Dirt is no challenge
Nor the ocean

The dross on a good idea
Crossing Jordan
The sober mind finds blood taste bad after all
Cross Jordan on dry ground
Sober mind not faint of heart
Awake the dead form of the Jordan
Stand with me my friend
A nickle of words sharper than a sword

We'll take the Lord's Supper
Even if blood replaces wine
And the bread is my own skin
Eat and drink


To wrestle is to live; to fight is to love.
