Goliath

|
"Goliath"
You can call me Goliath
I have many names
I killed the ministers in the temples
I may have even slain the kings
I held their heads to heaven
Their souls I lay to waste
If heaven is among us
Then hell is a place
If I was an African lion
And you were my queen
I’d wish them all away
Site on scene

"Jah"
Jah keeps his lights on
Jah is the only one
Jah make you feel no pain
Jah make you humane
Oh keep all your lights on
Jah
So tell me what you gonna do
Yeah society says hate me
That’s why we start to hate you
No matter where you’re from
Inside of everybody there is a star
Oh keep all your lights on
Jah
Come on and feel the light
Oh come on and feel the light
Oh keep all your lights on
Oh keep all your lights on
Jah

"Dear Father"
Oh dear father
What rock under ya hide
I’ve been waiting
All of this time
Reach out dear father
Show your children they're not alone
I have knelt down
Before your mighty throne
Yes I’ve sent something terrible coming
Come now dear father
Come reap the seeds that ya’ve sown
Light from on high
Heaven from below
See now dear father
Come see how your fire grows
A servant I am to the master I owe
(I.O.)
Yes I’ve sent something terrible coming
Ohh ahhhh

God Damn Pharaoh Man

"God Damn Pharaoh Man"
I remember when he said
All the son of Babylon
Will fall tonight
I remember when death
Skipped the blood of the lamb
And killed the pharaoh’s son
Well god damn god damn
Pharaoh man
Why can’t you let them go
We’re so much alike
God damn man
Can’t you tell by now
Well god damn god damn
Pharaoh man
Why can’t you let them go
We’re so much alike
God damn man
Why can’t you let them grow
I remember when a third fell from the sky
And caused the Nephilim to rise
I remember when the flood ripped through the land
Judgement by his hand
Well god damn god damn
Pharaoh man
Why can’t you let them go
We’re so much alike
God damn man
Can’t you tell by now
Well god damn god damn
Pharaoh man
Why can’t you let them go
We’re so much alike
God damn man
Why can’t you let them grow

Son of Galilee
03:50
|

|
"Son of Galilee"
I’ve seen the son, worship on his knees
I’ve seen the face of Galilee
I heard the word, I heard him speak
I’ve heard the voice of Galilee
And all them angels go
“Lord hear me now”
“Oh this son of Galilee he must go”
I’ve heard the stories, of the miracles three
I’ve met the king of Galilee
I’ve walked the twelve, I saw him bleed
Yes I’ve witnessed the fate of Galilee
And all them angels go
“Lord hear me now”
“Oh this son of Galilee he must go”

Watcher
03:36
|
|||
|
"Watcher"
I’ve seen creation, witnessed the fall
The tower of Babel, Sodom Gomorrah
I’ve seen it all
What they said I done, I never did
I am a pillar of light, I am salvation at night
Yes I am him, yes I am him
I’ve walked all across this land
Seven seas through the snow and the sand
I was there when the son walked on water
So now why can’t you see
He was after all the image of me
First son of the mighty thirteen
Mercy, have mercy on me
Yeah we are the fallen
Yeah we are Grigori
Yeah we are the fallen
Mercy on me, have mercy on me

Sing Away Sorrow
03:39
|

|
"Sing Away Sorrow"
Sing away sorrow
Cast away care
Witness my soul suspended in air
All bring a feather to dip into wine
Now fuse it with blood
And watch the crows fly
Well I must have lived for thousands of years
Not one thing’s made my soul leave here
Me you may feel in a cool summer breeze
Or perhaps just a chill under cold winter sheets
And I will wait for you no matter what you heard
Until your dying day
Yes I will wait for you no matter what you heard
Until you’ve gone astray
Sing away sorrow
Cast away care
The graveyard at midnight
We’ll meet there
Grab yourself cat bone
Write your name in coal
Place it in a black box
Stick it in the hole
And I will wait for you no matter what you heard
Until your dying day
Yes I will wait for you no matter what you heard
Until you’ve gone astray
Sing away sorrow
Cast away care
Witness my soul suspended in air
All bring a feather to dip into wine
Now fuse it with blood
And watch the crows fly

Hold Me Now

“Hold Me Now”
At the moment, I forget
The exact words that he said
Start the engine, hit the gas
Hide that pistol and smoke that grass
Leave no evidence, they can find
Just two more miles to that Georgia state line
That’s when I woke up, in this here bed
Ya’ll been telling me son
“For 24 hours you were damn near dead”
Hold me now, get me my boots
No there ain’t anything else that you can do
It’s gonna take some time, gotta practice my aim
Ain’t too good to be out so early in the game
Sunday morning, walked past a church
As it opens it’s doors preacher screams
“Son your soul’s about to burst”
Well I pay no mind to him, no I never liked it much
When a man puts a gun to my head
While he’s drunk on holy blood
Well that Hoodoo remedy, gave me one more chance to die
Gave me a soul of oil, gasoline heart, spit in the eye
That’s when I woke up, in this here bed
Ya’ll been telling me son
“For 24 hours you were damn near dead”
Hold me now, get me my boots
No there ain’t anything else that you can do
It’s gonna take some time, gotta practice my aim
Ain’t too good to be out so early in the game
Hold me now, Hold me now, Hold me now

|
“Come Wander With Me”
Walk with me, into the lake
Baptized in, his mistakes
Oh yeah
Come wander with me
Walk with me, into the woods
Adorned in, red and blue hoods
Oh yeah
Come wander with me
Yeah, come wander with me
Seasons come and then they go
Where they start no one really knows
Oh yeah
Come wander with me
Yeah, come wander with me

Sweet Satan

|
“Sweet Satan”
Oh sweet Satan
Why you have to go and do me wrong
I’ve done every damn thing you told me to be done
You’re messing around with the wrong mick now
No need to explain, for it you will swing
Swing and sway
Cover Satan with earth and clay
Swing and sway
Let the willow weep, willow weep, all day
And I don’t care what the neighbors say
I can hang any man from my trees if I say
(And if I say when)
And if them demons from the underworld
Decide to come up here and play
(And play and play some more)
Well I’mma show them my right hook
And just throw in my left
And I’ll make’m pray for God’s mercy
But show them the rope instead
Swing and sway
Cover Satan with earth and clay
Swing and sway
Let the willow weep, willow weep, ah fuck it now
Swing and sway my baby
Cover Satan with earth and clay now
Swing and sway
Let the willow weep, willow weep
Let the willow weep all day
Swing and sway (Ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Swing and sway (Ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Swing and sway my baby (Ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Swing and sway
Yeahhhhhhhhh
Swing and sway
Cover Satan with earth and clay now
Swing and sway
Let the willow weep, willow weep, ah fuck it now
Swing and sway my baby
Cover Satan with earth and clay
Swing and sway
Let the willow weep, willow weep
Let the willow weep all day

Not A Word
02:23

|
“Not A Word”
I can’t believe the state I’m in
Embodiment of the seven sins
That goofer dust all around your door
Salted the kitchen floor
Ahhhhh
Not a word, not a word, not a word
I can’t believe a single word you say
Coming off of another bad day
You drink yourself till you’re feeling fine
Smoke that dope and spill that wine
Ahhhhh
Not a word, not a word, not a word

Save Me (Save My Soul)

"Save Me (Save My Soul)"
Christ is coming
Well so am I
How much a man must sin
To be crucified
Well praise Jesus
Bless his name
Another sinner, like me
He’s just the same
We’re just the same
Save me
Save my soul
Oh sweet spirit
Come on and take me home
Well praise Allah
Yahweh too
You know your Jesus Christ
He was a jew
But remember we’re all the same
We’ll all make it to the grave
Well praise Buddha, Ganesh too
Kali was a bad ass bitch
Ra, Krishna, Zeus
Remember it’s all in you
Yeah you
Save me
Save my soul
Oh sweet spirit
Come on and take me home
