Unused orig lyrics, initial demo bounce track -- chopped :) :
Then you'll take your place with the playful dead
Not to fight or prey, or give advice
You'll then bring, coffee and cake and advice safe
You'll know how much life's not free, a well named price paid indeed
When the dead come to play, not fight and prey
And see all the tears and tares and, broken spheres
If they give you advice and not charge a price, -- bring coffee black and angle food cake

Dm Am
Living off rain, then snow...
Dm Am
My brain......, it wobbles slow...
G / Dm
As I stare down, dark-gun-metal blue glow
G Dm
I remember stark lights..., killings..., and I'll pray for you slow
Dm Dm
Like animals caged..., and never fed
Am Am
Last call could set..., set it all in red
G Dm ...
Pool sticks swung like great... tree, bran - ches
G Dm
Hitting racks... of fruit bas - kets, spraying ceramic jewels... bled
F Am
I felt stranded..., in life's a revolu - tion
Dm C
Carrying pails of life..., like water..., only thick blood
C Dm
Ass, money and power..., with no last meal comes the flood,
G F
Fight, feed and sleep..., we confused little sheep
C Dm
Dodge and burn always makes a better heap
G F G Dm
No matter how... well life... focused,it would all blur rinse repeat
C Dm
Memories can't count, in the land of life's cheap
Dm
No, memories don't count, since never happened until bound
G
So you can't prove to anyone you ever took that trip... down
Dm
But the ones who love you, they can and do see
G
If you're lucky they remind you, to not water those seeds
G Dm
I always wondered who'd I be, if lived long enough, to just find me
Am C Dm
I'm a little surprised but glad to see, the rows I've ploughed, with plenty to feed
G G
And I can say well..., aloud..., I've got a good life wife now
Dm
She lays down life daily colors of purple pink green and blue,
Am C
No argument no strife, all things made right
C Dm
She's red..., with white and blue

Walking, One Knight, ustaknow 2018
Am // // Em // //
Am
Walking, one knight, in the lights night dark
Em
I met with Christ, walking this part
Am
He was wrapped quite tight, in stained white sheets
Em
Red blue, wet bright, -- just, right news
Chorus:
F Am Em
He gave // // [Aww..] he gave
F Am Em
He gave me a way, way to be free
Am // //
A way to be free ... ... ...
He said to me, take cover now
Don't ask why, just pull my hem
Tight then slack, and no pain to me
Back like new I was covered by torn
[Ch]
Walking this night, in this fights dark
I saught no thing, no solace, none
My short walk gave long one free thread
And with bread for the quick, since the dead don't
[2nd Ch]
Am
need // // [silence]
Em Am Em
Don't need..., they don't need... they don't need...
The storms not seen, it came indeed
And met with me, now hanging by this thread
Of undead truth, tight white stained red [Am]
Proofed my blood, mixed with his, still living with dread
[3rd Ch]
F Am // Em //
But he gave ... he gave ...
F Am Em Em sus open
he gave me ... a way... a way to be free
// // // [Am] Am sus
A way to be free ... ... ...
It shatters me this message, within a knock
Of life and death, and sweet and sour docks
Of many chrome locks of paper chained parts
Put on the water, for a long dry park
[4th Ch]
Am Em Am Em
He gave... ... ... me He gave me ... a way to be free
F Am Em F Am Em Am
He gave... he gave, he gave me a way, way to be free way to be free
This walk on water, set adrift I see
And take no quarter, only take a knee
Covered by a thread of red white and blue
Stained white sheet, of Holy Spirit clues
Am Em Am Em
He gave ... he gave me ... Oh he gave, me a way to be free
F Am Em F Am Em
He gave... aww he gave .... he gave me a way to be free
Am
Way to be free...

It's a fearful thing to love what death can touch
C Em Am
A thing for fools, yet a holy thing, to love

To be fated for loving Love, which death can touch, can crush so much
F Am G
It makes me sad to bare such tender toughs

Even a song binds fate, and cuffs my heart

To many folks they just ha - ate all that’s God

Even Christians, can’t see – ee past their clogs
F Em Am
No more hymns for me... the Devil is the Devil
F Am G d - g
God is God, and I know my place
C Em Am
But occasion - ally, and unpopular
C Em Am
I raise my choice in balance, of a chance,
F Am G Gsus // //
That makes me feel good enough.

Unused lyrics in this track, chopped; many, possibly, --won’t have any idea what it means anyway:
Families in 38, endured extremes in weight
Their cooled dried blood, of soon forgotten freight
Heritage lost…, with generations memory tossed
Again wash rinse repeat, for... every new centuries heap
What can one do, more than sing their sweet groans
Since alternatives for waiters, is their what's cause
Hear now the rumors of..., core quakes and more
Feel the horn blasts great…, shaking and final seals…, scores

A Lost Chord
Pub dom *rewrite, arrangement copyright 2018 ustaknow (alias) all rights reserved.
Basis, idea of the music and lyric from the poem by Adelaide Anne Procter "A Lost Chord", published in 1858 in The English Woman's Journal. Public Domain.
And, as well, fyi: first set to music - "The Lost Chord", Arthur Sullivan 1877 Public Domain, 19 years later; and now again, but different, 'cause it "me", -- 160 years later!
C c Bflat b
Seated all day at the alter
F f
I grew weary and ill at ease
C c Bflat b
My fingers they wandered wildly
F f
Over its noisy strings
C c Bflat b
I knew not what I was playing
F f
Or-what-I-was dreaming then
C c Bflat b
But I struck one chord of music
\Aflat d# c \F c Aflat F
Like-the-sound-of a chorused wind ; sound-of a chorused wind
C Bflat F Aflat… ^ v
My lost chord, life like chord, chord of life so rarely hear-rd
C c Bflat b
It quieted all pain and sorrow
F f
Like love over-coming strife
C c Bflat b
It seemed a har-monious echo
F f
Towards-a-dis-connected life
C Bflat
It-left-as-it came so secretly
F
And now I have sought, and seek it vainly
C Bflat
That one lost chorused divinity
\ Aflat c F d# c Aflat c F d# c
Which-came --from the soul of me plainly ; from the soul of me plainly
-CHORUS-
C Bflat
It may be that lifes forge anvil
F
Will speak to me that chord again
C Bflat
It may be that only in Heaven
F
Shall I hear, that-great-again
C \Bflat
Maybe my lost chord of life again

Is not so lost... after all
C Bflat
Maybe it was all my future songs

Come, all ye faithful, joyful and tri - umphant
Come ye…, come pro - om -ised land … … America
Come and behold us, heirs of kings now dust and smoke
Come, and adore us
Come…, come see the
Self full, and filled… American remains
Oh, sing, choirs of Senators
Sing, from Congress high
Oh, sing, fifth column Med-i-a buzz, self full, filled
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, here this happy mourning;
Two witness 3 days dead with no grave seen
All rejoice their flesh as their own perfume
Drunk and blinded to ascent above
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n!
Word of the Father, now in flesh appear – ing!
Word of the Father, now in flesh appear – ing!
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n! – come
Come, come, come,
Come, let us adore it now
Come, let us roar with it
O come, come, come

G hi-g D f#
Mourning morning-fantasies…, in failing old seed
G D
Crying wolves as doves…, and unicorn pleads
F f Am e G d
Prying for their massacres and fighting and spurs // //
F f Am e G d
Dreams from my mass - ses..., of nightingale burns // //
G D
Oh these mourning activists..., spry in their mire
G D
What would they do…, if ever got fooled …
F f Am G
What would they paint, their burdened dreams with, --then // //
F f Am G
What would they taint, their curling screams with, --then // //
G D
Your fantasies you say…, wash your rags in-blood to white
G D
And say nothing of being the ones, to collude the false fight
F Am G
And they weight in the scale-of, your mighty wind freeze
F Am G
And they wait in the pail-of, your frighten - ing need
G D
The trumpets then will blow, and bowls will be poured
G D
And what then will be..., the lessor their lessons need
F Am G
And then will be the plan of their gaping wound spurned
F Am G
And then will be the man of their gaping anti-burned
G D
So they protest to protest..., the protest of your dreams
G D
And fight and argue…, while there you bleed
F Am G
Your flesh blood and bone, lying as monument stone
F Am G
No tree of eternal life, none will they see 2x (be ~ 2x)
