Father Forgive

Father forgive,
The hatred which divides
Nation from nation
Race from race
And class from class.

Father forgive,
The covetous desires
Of people and nations
To possess
What is not their own.

Father forgive,
Our greed which
Exploits the work,
Of human hands
And lays waste to the Earth.

Father forgive,
Our envy,

Sympathy to a Friend

God hears our prayers,
Even when we can't
Find words to say them.
May it comfort your heart
To know that God sees your Sorrow,
And that He cares for you.

God knows every sorrow,
He dries every tear.
In your hour of sorrow,
Wishing you the strength of God's Love,
The shelter of his arms,
And the security of His peace.

In every shadowed valley,
God is with us, leading us to the light.
Praying that God will lead you,
Through this sad time
And give you His Mercy and Grace.

War! War! War!

War! War! War!
Is all that people talk about.

War! War! War!
Is all that people think about.

War! War! War!
Is all that we hear about.

War! War! War!
Nobody cares for what it deos.

War! War! War!
Nobody listens to warnings.

War! War! War!
Nobody hears the cries of pain.

War! War! War!
Nobody hears the cries of death.

I Am Alone (Part One)

I am alone
In a world
Where my friends
Have left me.

I am alone
In a world
Where my best friend
Has left the school.

I am alone
In a world
Where my friends
Have lost understanding.

I am alone
In a world
That I have
No one to turn to.

My Name Is Qalme-Tari

My name is Qalme-Tari
Mistress of Death.
Were I go
People will follow.

My name is Qalme-Tari
Mistress of Death.
Were I go
Death follows.

My name is Qalme-Tari
Mistress of Death.
I bring death
Upon people of injustice.

My name is Qalme-Tari
Mistress of Death.
Death for people of injustice.
Tyrants beware!

Desert Spirit

I roamed in the desert
The sand is before me
I continue on my path,
Then a castle rises in front of me.

I see a prince in the garden
His hair is gold like the sun
His eyes the color of the sky
His cloak the color of midnight
And upon his head is a crown of silver stars.

He looks up from a wounded animal and he sees me.
I can see the sadness in his eyes.
I ask him if the animal is dead
He says no, and I offer to help
His eyes start to sparkle
I go to the wounded animal and pray
The wound is healed
The prince then looks at me
And I can see the love in his eyes
