Time no good
Wisdom no good
Patience no good
To me any more
Now night has fallen on the stair
Some things you do you can never repair
Seems I'm always pretending
Things aren't there when they are
And the leaves are nearly off the trees
The traffic thick past yellow windows
And I'm lost inside the frozen headlights
Thinking of you
And the trees are looking like bones
And the afternoon's filled with storm and rain
I'm staring out of this metal train
Thinking of you
And the trees are looking like bones
The afternoon filled with rain and storm
And I'm tangled up in memory's thorns
No way through
Trees like bones, yellow windows

There's radiation in the air
It's hotter than the time of year
We maybe need to shed a layer and calm down
How about we disappear, leave it all, get out of here
Wash your face and start again, give us a break
And take the blame and leave it
Waiting for days, waiting to break
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you always waiting for you
HEY! but I want you to know
Making me pay, breaking away
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
Fire in the air tonight, fire burns behind your eyes
Took you to the dizzy heights and then you calmed down
How about we learn to drink, freaking out and suffering
A couple more, we hit the floor and that's your lot,
I don't recall you keeping
Waiting for days, waiting to break
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you always waiting for you
HEY! but I want you to know
Making me pay, breaking away
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
I sit all night to watch you cry, and gut your insides
I sit all night to watch you cry, i got your insides
Waiting for days, waiting to break
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you always waiting for you
HEY! but i want you to know
Making me pay, breaking away
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you, always waiting for you

Another day is here to knock me down
Another day I start it with a frown
But I pull myself together
I've got to find out what I'm supposed to do
But I don't really have a clue
Got a very narrow view
A search for wisdom, it's not so easy to find
A search for wisdom, never seem to end
A search for wisdom, It's not so easy to find
A search for wisdom, never seem to end
And I'm getting tired
This is the way I'm bound to spend my days
Trying to find a way out of this maze

Wisdom it is more precious than silver
Wisdom it is more precious than gold than gold
Wisdom it is more precious than diamonds
Wisdom it protect I man soul (proverbs 3:13-18, 8:10-11)
Jah jah say;
Come unto me as a child for such are the great within his holy kingdom (luke 18:15-17)
For the simple things jah chose to raise up as the wise (1 cor 1:27)
For what is revealed to the babes and suckling is hidden far from wise eyes (matt 11:25)
Because wisdom from the Lord is first of all pure, then peace loving considerate, impartial, humble and merciful james 3:17)
Let he who is wise among you prove it by living a good life, by deeds done in humility just as our Lord Jesus Christ. (james 3:13)
Chorus
So my son, take heed to the wisdom that I utter from I mouth I mouth
(Prov 4:1, 20)
Will you please shout it out east west north and south
And south and south
Wisdom is a compass that guides me towards jah (prov 23:19)
Protects me from the traps and the snares of the future (prov 4:11-12)
The wisdom that is of soloman ooooh oooh oooh oooh
Give I guidance ay hey hey hey
The faith of father abraham ooooh oooh oooh oooh
Gives I assurance ay hey hey hey
Wisdom cries out hear her voice upon the streets
In the gateways of the city she makes her speech
(Proverbs 1:20-21)
If any of you lacks in wisdom let him ask of jah
Who gives to all man generously without reproach
And it shall be given to him
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
The lips of the righteous feed many
But fools die for want of wisdom (prov 10:21)
My wisdom is knowledge and overstanding
Take heed to my instruction and my correction
Listen to my words and your days will be many
Utter sufferance if you give them rejection
Wisdom preserves the life of it's owner (prov 3:2)
Keep I safe from hurt and harm
Standing taller and stronger than the cedars of lebanon
Used in building the holy temple of Jerusalem

In the presence of a young and mysterious, attractive fortune-teller I had my future laid out before me in detailed descriptions.
The wind was howling outside, but I felt safe and warm – on this night.
Her emerald eyes shone directly through me when she said:
"When I put down the tarot cards, I look at your desires, wishes and an urge for acceptance."
The interior of her small compartment seemed to melt into the density of the air.
I couldn’t help staring into those penetrating eyes.
She took my hand in her own and spoke into the air:
"When I read into the palm of your hand, I see a spark of desire, submission, chaos and intolerance."
I vanished in the gypsy woman’s hazel green eyes… couldn’t resist to let her have my inner self.
The eroticism of it all is still a mystery to me.
She had a sad look upon her beautiful face as she whispered to me:
"When I gaze into the crystal ball, I see your secret desires, greed, perfect wisdom, lust and degradation –

Love of my life
You are the love, of my life
You are the love in my life, my life
You are the love in my life, in my life
You are the love in my life, my life
With God control, I take a photo of the globe
like a space probe, let your tape roll to roll
My ways of life shine purple rays of light
Ways that are right take long days and night
Then I enter wind, there's no interfere
No sense of care, tense at the prayer
Then we exalt like ci-ties of Leba-nese
Drop with heaven-ness, must be heaven sent
Left with evidence, ever since you left
seventh prince, and the pleasant scent of sweet smells
Exhale, I'm as deep as a well
Watch Priest prevail by fear and love
Lifts off through the air like a dove above
the star circuits, where Allah is perfect
It lies like an olive tree, woman follow me
through the galazies, just acknowledge me
We'll walk the calorie across the Sea of Galilee
I give you rubies, for your beauty, you look
as fine as jewelry, I chose the finest your highness
I chose the finest your highness
You see my instructions, are not silver
In knowledge forever then choice gold
For wisdom is better than rubies
And all the things that may be desired
are not to be compared to it
Our wisdom, will dwell with punics
You're my one and only, during our holy matrimony
attract my homies, subtract the phonies
What it manifold, make a man explode
Love episode, give me rest when I'm old
So clear and unbefouled, plus runnin wild
Caught you as a child, brought you under clouds
Never earthquakes when I'm home from work late
Never forget your birthdate, I love you
Damn your understandin have me hunger like a famine
Prepare for landin.. for landin.. for landin..
Abortin the River Jordan like a RZA recordin
4th Disciple, bring forth the cycle
or a tidal wave, it's like a B.I.B.L.E. page

we scintillate like cedar stones
in plasma veil as ancient ones
in cold war years you were my fears
but just to gain the power to reign
satan's bllod in our veins
the pigfaced mud will be slayn
but noone dies when blackseas dry
and noone kill. forever this will
our wisdom be
now you're asking
what are you living for
no sense of life
and none afterwards
what I call wisdom is a flower
that can seldom be found
but not in illusions
you only use to find

In my forehead, a sheet of lead
Was seeping through holes of power-hammers
My cracked spirit sank into a heavenly wave
A cloud of ether discharged the ballast
A rainbow with gloomy glints
Emerged out of a split of velvet
Then all veiled...
As if a lobotomy was overcoming me!
Since they have cut my tongue
Another 's walking in my head
Following the scattering
Of misunderstood saliva
Cut hand grows up again longer
Tail of lizard tracked in a lemon clearness
Gouged out eyes are born again in my back
Eye of chameleon mottled in a rouge of meat
Hey Mary, have you bought the ten pounds
Of tomatoes at the supermarket?
My cracked spirit sank into a heavenly wave
Soon I'll hear the sound of my life
Soon I'll see the edge of my life
Soon I'll sniff the smel of my life

deny all irritant like salt in open slit go on and swim in it like pools of guilt you spit feel pathetic frenzy feels better to hate than to tell there's nothing around you make it up to purify your hell broken it dirty head one stinging hint like ruin and lead tell me words of wisdom pouring of fyour neurotic tongue don't like this future trip not down with deadly clique i'm just so dcadent the only plus of less use and regenerate this lonely two side head i guess just paranoid deride pathetic losing it dirty sense phase of fall like i always

One man's playing piano and one man's drooling on the
floor
And one man's making missiles 'cause he wants to
prevent a world war
One man's disadvantaged just because his skin is black
And one man's children starve to death but not the
idiot savants
No - not the idiot savants
No - it can never be the idiot savants
One man o.d.'ed on New Year's Eve
His dealer too happy to grieve
One man killed and another held out (the idiot savants)
Stupid wisdom is what this world's about.
We're so wise -so knowing -so understanding
The questions of life are so undemanding
So we grope and we hope that we'll find an answer
I must be an idiot or just one hell of a dancer
This one sings like an angel but she can't tie her
shoes
But this one likes everybody -he just can't stand to
hear the news
So what if my cousin's on the street
There's someone there to help him
This one don't wanna take care of the other two (the
idiot savant)
'cause he's thinking of things he'd rather do
One man o.d.'ed on New Year's Eve
His dealer too happy to grieve
One man killed and another held out (the idiot savants)
Stupid wisdom is what this world's about
This guy can't even write his name
That lady thinks she's going insane
This time I'll find another home

I see a multitude of people
Some far away and some close by
They weave together new religion
From tiny remnants they have found
A bit of truth, a greater lie
And all the prophets stand and sing a pleasant song
A million cords that bind the spirit growing strong
My heart is breaking
I must remind them
You are the only way
You are the only voice
You are the only hope
You are the only choice
You are the one true God
No matter what we say
You are the breath of life
You are the only way
Give us wisdom
Give us wisdom
There is a moment of decision
But all the days go rushing by
An undercurrent of confusion
To threaten all that we believe
With little time to wonder why
And all the prophets sing the same familiar song
Even the chosen can be led to sing along
These hearts are breaking
Will you remind us
You are the only way
You are the only voice
You are the only hope
You are the only choice
You are the one true God
No matter what we say
You are the breath of life
You are the only way
Give us wisdom
Give us wisdom
You choose the simple things to overcome the wise
Wisdom is granted in the name of Jesus Christ
In the name of Jesus Christ
You are the only way
You are the only voice
You are the only hope
You are the only choice
You are the one true God
No matter what we say
You are the breath of life
We need You here today
(You are the only way)
Give us wisdom

You were the very first
Before the world began
And the oceans rose
And the rivers ran
And the water flowed
Before the mountains and hills
Were set in place
Before stars in the sky
And the human race
You were there
Wisdom, teach me what is right
Wisdom, come and give me sight
Wisdom, come and be my light
My light
You are the voice of truth
That is just and right
A shield to the faithful
A sword for the fight
A path for the wise
And those who desire You
More than silver or gold
Will find understanding
Within the soul
For You are there
Wisdom, teach me what is right
Wisdom, come and give me sight
Wisdom, come and be my light

Alll those failed attempts
Against reality's glare
Patience only gets one so far
We'll fail by design
With no lack ofmotive
Rising in vain
Against the same blank wall
Go release yourself
From the clutches of hope
And get locked up in the same old circle
Disintegrate
Disappear
Dissipate
You were just a shadow of your past
Incinerate
Emulate
Elevate
You're starting to care less with every chance
I'm ready now to accept my fate
And bleed the tears I'll never understand
Arm your words
With shards of nails
Disintegrate
Disappear
Dissipate
You were just a shadow of your past
Incinerate
Emulate
Elevate
You're starting to care less with every chance
The universe is yours
Even if it's an empty one
Your words are yours
Even if they're blank
The truth is yours
Even if it lies
And your time is up

To others the pain was obvious The colours of shame a bruise - unjust
Abuse of trust can't be wiped
I can't remember why I chose to say goodbye I'm terrified of what I
might have severed
I tried to forget the drowning truth Lashing inside my sea of youth
Life seemed a fair sacrifice for peace
I can't remember why I chose to say goodbye I'm terrified of what I
might have severed
I ended up too high But never learnt to fly

Life is a journey that you must take my son
Take care and live it well because there's only one
Remember there's a purpose that you were meant to be
You have a heart, you have a mind, you are humanity
Listen!
Challenges will come
Storms will rage against your heart
Face them and be strong
Face them and be strong!
A lifetime of learning is what I give you
When you make a choice in life, be sure to think it through
Wisdom holds a treasure of knowledge in her hands
Take care and love her well, you'll be a better man
Listen!
Learn to understand
Use the gifts that you possess
Find your destiny
Dare to live your dreams
Challenges will come
Storms will rage against your heart
Face them and be strong
Face them and be strong!
Watch your back, protect your mind
Always keep your objectives clear till the day you die
Find your destiny
Dare to live your dreams
Pain will come, tears will fall
Guard your heart, keep your vision clear, rise above it all
Find your destiny
Dare to live your dreams
Find your destiny
Can't you feel the hunger that's growing in your heart?
Let your gifts consume you, let them tear your fears apart
Hear the voice of reason that's calling from the sky
Face the winds of future with a fire in your eyes

wherefore i praised the dead
which are already dead,
more than the living
which are yet alive.
yea, better is he than both they,
which hath not yet been,
who hath not seen the evil work
that is done under the sun
(Ecclesiastes 4:2-3)
for in much wisdom is much grief :
and he that increaseth knowledge
increaseth sorrow

wisdom in chains
unlocked too late
they say its hard to keep a good man down
but you can cripple him til he becomes a bad man
keep him searching through lost and found
no, its not hard to keep a good man down
sooner or later i?ll be back around.
it?s hard when things aint what they seem.
someone along the line turned faith into fake
and shattered the dream
I?ll take anything you?ve got to offer
you know how it is when times are tough
anything to make me feel better
cause sometimes feeling good is good enough

Woooooah! Woah yeah nah.
I will open my mouth in a parable, and sing the dark sayings of old.
And much wisdom and knowledge stretch forth their hands,
Unto you, o children, I cry.
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness,
All the days of my life will tell.
Take heed of the words of Jehovah, or men you will surely fail!
Ooooh, ooooh, woah yeah yeah nah nah, oh yeah. Ooooh, woahohoh yeah.
In laughter the heart is sorrowful
Your folly is your reward.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than feasting where there is wrath.
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness,
All the days of my life will tell.
Take heed of the words of Jehovah, or men you will surely fail! Woah yeah now now... Woah... yeah! Oooohhh ooh yeah... oh yeah now:
So take heed Jah-people, and live upright, for this is the time that will tell.
When the righteous ones shall stand up strong,
Oh why did the heathen rage?
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness,
All the days of my life will tell!
Take heed of the words of Jehovah, or men you will surely fail!
Woah yeah now... mmmmm... Oh yeah, said you will surely fail! Oh yeah now... mmmm... Oh yeah now...
So I will open my mouth in a parable, and sing the dark sayings of old.
So much wisdom and knowledge stretch forth their hands,
Unto you, o children, I cry!
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness,
All the days of my life will tell!
Take heed of the words of Jehovah, or men you will surely fail!
Ooooh mmmmm. Oh yeah now mmmmm. Oooooooh mmmmmmmm. Woah yeah now now,

Through timeless change in my dreams
I am closer from ageless memories, long ago
To enlightened frontiers I'll take you there
Oh, mystic child, together where ever we fly
Somehow I feel like I'm going through changes
And sometimes I wake up still dreaming
Only a lifetime can fill the pages
A story of wisdom for all
Through shadows past into life
Came a sorcerer, unchained his energy, running free
The wisdom inside will be a force in time
We'll carry on together whenever we die
Somehow I feel like I'm going through changes
And sometimes I wake up still dreaming
Only a lifetime can fill the pages
A story of wisdom for all
A force in time we'll carry on
Together whenever we die
Somehow I feel like I'm going through changes
And sometimes I wake up still dreaming
Only a lifetime can fill the pages
