God And War
lyrics by Jack Foster III, music by Foster, Gardner, and Berry
©2008 Muse-Wrapped Publishing

Blessed are the meek
for they shall inherit the earth
Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness
for they shall be satisfi ed
I miss the song in my head that I never
could get out, oh no
There’s a trace of a smile in my heart when
I think about the people I know, I know
There was a song in the breeze
much bigger than the world, I know
Can I hope to live within that song,
escape back to the world I used to know
when the smoke-fi lled breeze
smothers eyes and soul
and the blood in streams
drowns the song of peace
War - I don’t know what it’s for
don’t want fi ght this war any more
Hate - can only isolate
don’t want to hate my brothers no more
There’s a wind across the sand that
silences the song, I know
I can’t hear the song no more, pain inside
my heart’s the only song that I know
when I look around, see the looks of hate
aimed at what I’ve become
numb without the song
I can’t hear it, I can’t feel it
I can’t hear you, I can’t feel you
there are faces in my head
that I just can’t escape, I know
can I live with what I’ve done,
faces taken from the world, I don’t know

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
