I I don't believe Not in you Not in us Nor in this place Leaving
Across These Fields
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
Across these fields I take my pleasure Force of will No matter what may come When will they face their own disaster They live a lie - not their son This is the day - my declaration I'm just a memory I am gone It is my right I am free Of the hold they had on me Here I'll be satisfied Here I am alive I'll drink the cup To the full The world is mine Beyond their discretion It is my right - I will be free Of the hold they had on me Here I'll be satisfied Here I am alive Across these fields I will be free Of the walls and misery Here I'll be satisfied Here I am alive
On The Move
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
On the move No motion sickness, just a nonstop rolling In the land of disease Won't be fooled With the wasted notion of a reason for the status of Make-believe/Make-believe Got just a few needs Got ears for the right leads Gonna see what can't be seen All eyes, all ears/Emotion
Summerthrow
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
Empty room, it's a holiday The sky, the walls, a familiar gray If i could find some peace of mind If one day again I'd feel the summer's breath Oh summerthrow Summerthrow your arms around me I want to see the sun again Fill me with your dandelion wine Summerthrow Summerthrow your hair about me I want to feel and see your spirit Oh oh oh oh - want to see you shine Summer catch me, now I'm falling Qn a winterfield in rain Cold yet melting down without a hope And I lost myself, I lost my soul Oh I need your summerthrow Pull me deep into your sky - I know those golden eyes Have seen my failings and my shame ‹ but I'm buried now Inside the flame, fully claimed by the glow Summerthrow, summerthrow Summer watch me now I'm weary Can I rest here in your arms awhile And listen to your song Now I feel I've got a home forever - summerthrow
At Land's End
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
At land's end I breathe light as air In this world Of my imagination There is nothing I cannot have There is nothing I cannot know In this world At land's end Here are my friends We speak of heaven And in-between How we share We share the mystery Of creation We share the fantasy Of the drum Honesty Exploration We are here We are everywhere Like a hot-air balloon Cast above fields of discretion I move along Move along Through the mist Without direction It is my right Here I am free Though it's only make-believe I'm satisfied Here I'm alive My own best friend Here at land's end
Song and Dance
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
If I could trust anyone but me I might trust you I'm so tired of this travesty called "life" I have lived in the backstage lies and parodies I have seen it from their husbands and their wives If...if Could take another chance? If...if I could believe This ain't another song and dance Don't even mention "love", baby, don't even breathe What I've had to steal - could you give it to me? Maybe we could find somethin' that we need I'd like to believe what I see Now I don't wanna sound coldhearted Don't want no strings on me I have scars from several battlefields And i won't supply your greed
In Change
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
Been sorry for the past Sorry for the war Sorry for the pain For the day I was born Sorry for the punishment I delt to my kin Sorry for the mud I was wallowin' in But in change Could be admission of regret And I don't know If I'm ready Ready for that yet Down on my luck Down on my cash So far gone I couldn't find my way back Emptied of hope Reduced to myself Rejectin' any option to a vision of hell I'm sorry for the truth and the consequence Driven to the edge of this precipe Stranded in the darkness by the choices I made Dyin' within sight of heaven's gate
The Road
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
It swallowed me alive I thought that I had died He flashed a winning smile And i was shattered No matter what he did I never called his bid He took me in his arms That's all that mattered Always the same Different faces different names It doesn't change Just looking for someone to blame Nobody fashions rules For parasites and fools I took the hand That offered me disaster But who can you believe When all they do is leave An' every tongue just seems To wag a little faster I've been a traveler With joy and sorrow A rooster crows I am the builder of this road
Dark Carnival
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
A handful of tickets, already paid for A heart full and jaded, taken for too many rides I'm still looking for somewhere to spend these Dreams on the midway Between my heart and my mind I hear echoes In these rusty lanscapes The sounds of the sunlight Bounce off these cold winter walls Deep inside, I move without memory From shadow to shadow In this dark carnival
Mirror
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
I'm swimming in an ocean of darkness Smothered in the kisses of night Drowning in the sea of sorrows Under waves of incredible height Can't remember what dreams were made of Can't believe there is anything left What I thought was a garden of Eden became The valley of the shadow of death I have lived here before I cannot find the door Chased by the shadows It's me Nothing ever satisfies Me Gold in my hand Only rust The only constant is me And me I can't trust I have lived here before I can't find the door Feel I cannot breathe The only constant is me I know that I know that I know that I know I am lost Over and over and over and over a cross
Another Look

Surprised
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
I done my time I took my ride Stritted my stuff, did it my way Hid myself from the light of day Pushed, shoved, tripped an' fell But dead men got no tales to tell Everything I've come to know Points me to my need for you I've known the pain I felt the shame Voices talkin' soft an' loud Too far down to be so proud Some said somethin' 'bout ears to hear Faith in truth becomin' clear I been surprised Opened my eyes Sky came down in tears of rain Sun came up a whole new way God knows what an' when an' why Think I wasn't born to die Everything I've come to know Points me to the fact of You I don't know all that i need But I think I finally see Been so surprised Here I'm alive So, so surprised I am alive
Richest One
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
If I had a penny For every town I've known An' if I had a nickel For every song I've sung If I had a quarter For every tear I've cried And if I had a dollar For every hurt I felt inside I'd be the richest Richest one in the world If I had a ruby For every drop of blood You shed And if I had an emerald For every single debt If I had a piece of silver For every sin You took And if I had a diamond for every beautiful truth in Your Book I'd be the richest, richest man in the world Yes I am When I was lost A stranger to innocence When I was guilty In the face of such evidence When I was condemned That's when the veil was rent When I was broken You came to my defense
Across These Fields Reprise
Resurrection Band - LAMENT - © 1995
Across these fields Where daylight travels I want to yield Dispite this veil of tears When will You When will You be returning I cast my lot Beyond the fear Across these fields I take my pleasure Force of Your will No matter what may come Through the mist I found the treasure Worth my life Kingdom soon to come Face to face No more alone I shall know As I am known With You I am alive Lord, with You I am satisfied Across these fields Beyond the stars Above this pale, endless universe of ours Where dreams were born All mysteries unfold Where love is a Person to behold
