Can U talk 2 me with your body, baby?
Can U tell me what I wanna hear?
Can U lay on me a good enough reason 2 cross the line?
Yeah, ho! {x2}

CHORUS:
The line, line - it's a happy step 2 make

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help me stand
I try, I have need, I am whole
Through the door, through the shore

I got my discharge from Fort Irwin
Took a place on the San Diego county line
Felt funny bein' a civilian again
It'd been some time
My wife had died a year ago
I was still tryin' to find my way back whole
Went to work for the INS on the line
With the California border patrol
Bobby Ramirez was a ten year veteran
We became friends
His family was from Guanajuato
So the job it was different for him
He said "They risk death in the deserts and mountains
Pay all they got to the smugglers rings
We send 'em home and they come right back again
Carl hunger is a powerful thing."
Well I was good at doin' what I was to
l'd Kept my uniform pressed and clean
At night I chased their shadows
Thru the arroyos and ravines
Drug runners farmers with their families
Young women with little children by their sides
Come night we'd wait out in the canyons
And try to keep 'em from crossin' the line
Well the first time that I saw her
She was in the holdin' pen
Our eyes met and she looked away
Then she looked back again
Her hair was black as coal
Her eyes reminded me of what I'd lost
She had a young child cryin' in her arms
I asked "Senora is there anything I can do?"
There's a bar in Tijuana
Where me and Bobby drink alongside
The same people we'd sent back the day before
She said her name was Louisa
She was from Sonora and had just come north
We danced and I held her in my arms
And I knew what I would do
She said she had some family in Madera county
If she her child and younger brother could just get thru
At night they come across the levee
In the searchlight's dusty glow
We'd rush 'em in our Broncos
Force 'em back down into the river below
She climbed into my truck
She leaned toward me and we kissed
As we drove her brother's shirt slipped open
And I saw the tape across his chest
We were just about on the highway
When Bobby's jeep come up in the dust on my right
I pulled over and let my engine run
And stepped out into his lights
I felt myself movin'
My gun restin' 'neath my hand
We stood there starin' at each other
As off thru the arroyo she ran
Bobby Ramirez he never said nothin'
6 months later I left the line
I drifted to the central valley
And took what work I could find
At night I searched the local bars
And the migrant towns
Lookin' for my Louisa

Alone at night
In the cold and windy city
When the candle fades away
Another morning
And the sun's shining pretty
You can watch the children play
But there's a hole in the sky
And it cries for you and I
And we can't find the reason for calling
There's a new place to see
Another world for you and me
And one can hear the bell which will be tolling
Tolling
They crossed the line
See the light, it shines
They crossed the line
Heaven or hell, who will decide
What's coming after
The curse of wrath and agony, oh lord
Please help us find our way
We tried to get out
Of the last light of eternity
But we couldn't get away
There's a hole in the sky
And it cries for you and I
But we can't find the reason for dreaming
There's a new place to see
Another world for you and me

[Verse One]
You know it's on and poppin and aint no stoppin
keepin the party rockin for God who's watchin
Without Christ the Rock who would rock ya body
Who would rock the party, or rock the lobby
He gave us a reason to praise Him up in the Steeple
When He came down and died for the evil that we do
We aint playin games or reppin His name to gain change
We do this to maintain and change the mainframe
gangstas that gangbang and hustlas that slang thangs
We know you're a sinner but it's time for a name change
It's the Holy Rock Repper, reppin the Rock whether or
not it's hot on ya block in the hot weather
We in the party screamin "Jesus WHUUUT"
You see somebody wildin out? what you seen was us
We keep it krunk for Christ because of His redeeming love
We gone rep him till we die or til He beams us up so get 'em up!
[Chorus]
You rollin with the line now baby
Get your hands up high now baby
We keep it crunk for Christ, we'll never change that
The same cats rockin even after the cows came back (mmmmm)
Get your hands up, Get your hands up, get your hands up, get your hands up
[Verse Two]
Tadow! How you like me now I'm in the mix
See I'm a fiend for Jesus Christ and I'm about ta get my fix
With the Krunkness, I hope you feeling my worshipnow peep my drunkness
because the Spirit is working I pray you pump this
to all your friends that are worldly, to see we bump this
because we know that He's worthy
I'm from the dirty
the place where they say that the cops got him, or the glock shot him
this is where people hit rock bottom
crack houses and dirty spouses, how can you not spot him?
Because of this drama I nicknamed my block Sodom.
But God took this brotha, one coming a dime a dozen
and brought me back to His loving, delivered me from destruction
From the land of the Trill, worse than Amityville
with one hand on the wheel, and one hand on the steel
To His commandments and will, He understands how I feel
but he called me to run as hard as Emmit ran on the field.
Now get 'em UP!
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
Ride with this Christian Partner, While we present the
Father, Vibe to this rhythm holla, live till you hear
them holla, or see them follow, forsaking Impalas and
dollars, or smoking la la, For popping collars in honor to Abba
Now wild out! And get crunk to this Plumbline
collaboration, we out to grab the station til God gets his adoration
Aye yo this beat got us jumpin and stompin we keep it
pumpin like Jesus comin
I see you runnin, you keepin somethin from me, you frontin
But you can't front on Jehovah, He knows ya...
Not J-A-Y but J-E young soldier
I told ya, He's the owner man
He want it, He says it and gets it, it's over man
He gave us the life that we're livin, He owns us man
You either rollin with the Rock or get rolled over man

I see you standing in your garden full of stone
wrapped around your heart so you will never be alone
can’t you see I want to give you all you need
don’t you know by now
there’s no future in the past when life goes by so fast-
just hold the line (hold the line)
life’s a journey til the end of time (hold the line)
and soon the sun will rise
your sanctuary is hanging from a chain
wrapped around your neck
, but it won’t take away the pain
seems to me you don’t know what to believe
you should know by now
when the sands of wasted time leave you high and dry-
just hold the line (hold the line)
life’s a journey til the end of time (hold the line)
and soon the sun will rise
the end of time (hold the line)
soon the sun will shine just hold the line (hold the line)
life’s a journey til
the end of time (hold the line)
soon the sun will shine just hold the line (hold the line)
you’ve got to hold on

I look at the sky to where my future's lying
And I almost start to cry
Blinded by the sun I'm trying to hold onto
The very last of precious time
Then I start to thinking what a mess we're making
And it won't get better by & by
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line
Chorus:
We cannot overstep
We cannot overstep the
We cannot overstep the line
So many baby's arms with nothing to hold onto
But just a precious flake of life
You think you care about them
They think you care about them
But thinking's only wasting time
If we really want to say the things we want to
It takes a bigger man to try
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line
Chorus
Well politicians sit and pretend they give a shit while
Little men go out to die
The only arms they're hugging are the ones they're running
Later to be justified
I say I don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies and what about the sunshine
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line
Chorus
Say I don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies and what about the sunshine
Well we can point it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line
Chorus

I am the line, I hold you near
There is no burden left to bear, I can see clear
You're in suspension, you know no love
There is no story left to tell, you have no wisdom to pass on
I am the soul of absolution, no man can hurt his own illusion
My hands are crippled from the pain, you are the splinter in my vein
You put your head between your hands and understand nothing it has
I feel the answers keep you scared, I've put the harm inside myself
I am the line, I hold you near
There is no burden left to bear, I can see clear
I am perfected, I know no void
I have no conscience to keep clear, I understand there's nothing more
You try to kid yourself with questions, pleading in time for some correction
I found you tied onto the cross, with judgement on your every thought
You know my words all mean the same, you've buried here to isolate
And in this prison in your mind, well you were born without a spine
When did you stop caring?
When did you stop caring?
When did you stop caring?

At a crossing of the line
Everything you need is mine
Everything is a big vision
A decision must be signed
A given voice
A given choice
A losing limit centerpoint
A given voice
A given choice
A losing limit centerpoint
I will give them all they need
Everything they know and read
But they must cross the line
The line
A given voice
A given choice
Everything you need is mine
At a crossing of the line
Everything you need is mine
Everything is a big vision
A decision must be signed
A given voice
A given choice
A losing limit centerpoint
A given voice
A given choice
A losing limit centerpoint
I would give them all they need
Everything they know and read
But they must cross the line
The line
A given voice
A given choice
Everything you need is mine
A given voice
A given choice

I've gotta tell you, tell u about it
I've been gone for so long
I just wanna sing my song
I know u been hearin

oh I know, I know
I've heard, I have heard it all to clear

(chorus)
I am goin to hold, hold on to my pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick to my guns
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and we gon see what the deal
I'm for real, I just wanna put it, put it on the line
I've gotta put it on the line
and we havent got much time
I've gotta put it on the line

I've gotta put it on the line
I've got a bullet in the chamber
and I'm not afraid of the danger
we've gotta go down to the wire
ill go through the fire with you

I know everybody watchin me
the pressure is on
from every angle
political 2 personal
will I hang or b left hangin? will I fall off?
or will it be bangin?
I say its up to the man upstairs
I am goin to hold, hold on to my pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick to my guns
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and we gon see what the deal
I'm for real, I just wanna put it, put it on the line
I've gotta put it on the line
and we havent got much time
I've gotta put it on the line
know what I'm talking bout this evening
I've gotta put it on the line

Her realized dream is your loss, in such a nightmare twisted into form
Here come the voices, you can't resist, here comes the wrath, deliverance
Mindly united but splitted, as far as shapes of cruelty
An angel dressing a stolen dress, grinding blades with happiness
When feeling emptiness within one's eyes regret,
in hybrid shapes, we turn the page
It's time for new steps... It's time for new steps...
It's time for new steps... It's time for new steps...
Her realized dream is your loss, mindly united into a cross
You cannot hide your latest step, this is the moment to react
Angels and demons looking down, they tear your flesh and make you bow
Letting your body ling in the sand, there's nothing more you can demand
When feeling emptiness within one's eyes regret,
in hybrid shapes, we turn the page
It's time for new steps... It's time for new steps...
It's time for new steps... It's time for new steps...
It's time for a resolution, grind with passion
It's time for a resolution, grind with passion
Her realized dream is your loss, in such a nightmare twisted into form
Here come the voices, you can't resist, here comes the wrath, deliverance
Mindly united but splitted, as far as shapes of cruelty
An angel dressing a stolen dress, grinding blades with happiness
When feeling emptiness within one's eyes regret,
in hybrid shapes, we turn the page
It's time for new steps... It's time for new steps...
It's time for new steps... It's time for new steps...
It's time for a resolution, grind with passion

I never thought it could be so hard
We knew the words but who knew they'd reach so far
Now we watch as the pages turn
and chapters end to tear a childhood apart.
I never thought it could end this way
growing up getting older every day.
You'll find these days are long but life is short
we can't let it slip away.
We stood like statues watching leaves blow by
Nineteen years have come and gone
we lost it in the blink of an eye.
Still month by month the punches roll on us
watching twenty summers pass
feeling older all the time.
Life can pass you by
we traded our wide eyes
for cold closed minds
and tongues as sharp as knives.
What can the future hold
for kids with hearts like gold?
Turn on your TV set
find out your youth's been sold.
We had it good those nights
we spent with our best friends
we worried less about where we were
and how it all would end.
We turned our backs
on everything that could go wrong
all along, it was what we had
that kept us going strong.
I thought it would be enough to forget our mistakes,
but they don't disappear when you look the other way.
We spent so many years living our lives so carelessly,

She looks out her window
And the stars don't feel that far away
She watches the wind blow
Blowing all her problems away
But then she'll ask, as she cleans up the glass
"Is this the line?
Is this the line?
Is this the line between heaven and hell?
Is this the line where I get up and walk out?
Is this the line where you get drunk you yell?"
She fixes her make-up
Treading lightly on the floor
Hoping he won't wake up
As she makes her way towards the door
But then she'll say, as she waves him away
"Is this the line?
Is this the line?
Is this the line between heaven and hell?
Is this the line where I get up and walk out?
Is this the line where you get drunk you yell?"
She says "I've lived my life like a diamond
Bright and hard like a diamond"
She says "I've lived my life like a diamond

Up into an endless state of time
With nothing good or bad just one
We have been strangers for a very long time
We have watched and we have tried
And now I need this
Know this taste this want this...
So swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
This is the line that will fall
Now that there's nothing left
That can shut you down
It doesn't take much to break
A life beyond the things you live for
Into a place where you have all that it takes
We have watched and we have tried
And now I need this
Know this taste this want this...
So swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
Swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
This is the line that will fall
Now that there's nothing left
That can shut you down
You will reap just what you sow
You will reap just what you sow
You will reap just what you sow
You will reap just what you sow
So swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
So swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
And let me reap my rewards and start again
Let me reap my rewards and start again
Let me reap my rewards and start again

Looking out your window
Wishing you were somewhere else right now
Looking for the big show
Promise that your gonna make them "wow"
That's right, it's a Friday night
And we had a fight, so you missed your flight
Did you go to bed early?
You said you wouldn't miss my call
I've got the doctor worried
I promised not to piss him off
My back, it's a heart attack
And I'm kickin' back so I can't react
(CHORUS)
And then she says "oh, oh"
I think I'm gonna tell her that I've got to go
"oh, oh"
But I'm hanging on the line until she knows
We're both riding shotgun
On a sunny afternoon
We didn't get a lot done
Cause you think we're making up to soon
For this, as we reminisce
And I steal a kiss, for the time we missed
(CHORUS)
And then she says "oh, oh"
I think i'm gonna tell her that I've got to go
"oh, oh"
But I'm hanging on the line until she knows
(SOLO)
(CHORUS)
And then she says "oh, oh"
I think I'm gonna tell her that I've got to go
"oh, oh"
But I'm hanging on the line until she knows
"oh, oh"
I think I'm gonna tell her that I've got to go
"oh, oh"

take off your shoes and stay awhile. welcome to my head. everything's in overdrive. listen what he said. He said one little thing can lead to another. whatcha gonna do when it all comes down. just one time. just this time. everything and anything can end in a minute. why you wanna go and lay your heart on the line. on the line. wait a minute. take a minute for my senses to come back to me. I can win it cause I'm committed to the person that You want me to be. the places here are comfortable. few and far between. but when I get the call. I'll follow You wherever You will go.

Listen before you enter
I have to stop you if I can
Times are now changing
They have the power in their hands
You'd better stay in this world
Do not take any risk
Stay on the safe side of the line
Before they put you on their list
[Chorus:]
It's in these dark times
That new things appear
Things you couldn't dream of
Stopped your heart with fear
Just walk on through the dark
Don't listen to their signs
Start to think scary thoughts
Or look into those strange eyes
Don't believe what they tell you
Don't you think it's all true
Prepare to survive alone
For what you'll have to do
[Chorus]
'Cause they will harm you
And they eat out your soul
Where your heart once was
They'll only leave hole
And in the end don't you call me
I have warned you before
Told you, you shouldn't enter
No hope for you anymore
[Chorus]
So if you want to cross
The line to the other side
Take with you what you can
Beware of those that hide
But you will have to face them
Try to change your way of sight
If you want them to disappear
Maybe they just might...
It's in these dark times
That new things appear
Cause in this dark times

Even this mornig, darkness towards me
it seems my eyes couldn't see
I cannot breath
It's gonna kill me slowly,it wanna tear me down
It's suffocating me
There's no solution
No one told me
No one told me
Where to lye
No one told me
I wish that i could fly
No one told me
Shut the fuck 'n cry!
Was it just a dream,was reality?
I'm feeling it under my skin
is this happening is it just my mind
this light is making me blind
I found the line
the way is the correct one i think
i follow the line
as this will bring me out of hell
No one told me
No one told me
Where to lye
No one told me
I wish that i could fly
No one told me
shut the fuck 'n cry!
And I'm waiting for you
Feel so lonely under the sky

The circle in which we stand every single day closes up as we ask the wrong questions.
Between the two worlds that our leaders offer us I choose not to belong to either of them.
Sometimes embedded memories may influence your choice but should they lead you to the final line?
The line that will bring you to what frames these chains of command.
Do they really care about what we long for?
Or do they simply think they don’t live in the same world?
It looks like both options are inefficient.
I’ve got my tool to blow this off.
Find yours and you will know what those words are all about.
Silent, stranded
That’s how they want to see us.
We must learn how to counter the lie in order not to lose the notion of community.
It’s our duty.
I’m not afraid. How about you? I’m sure you’re not.
I know that a part of the blame is in ourselves but we must not give up.
A change is never easy.
Especially when a majority of intellectuals are conformists.
You don’t have to live your life as they ask you to.
We can’t hear the truth when we kneel down in front of what we think we cannot change.
In the end this system represents almost everything that I repel.
We must keep fighting on and on to get this line erased.
The lack of choice is one of their weapons.
It’s just another trap set by the state and I will never see any good in nothingness.
You may consider this idealistic and foolish.
At least I’m not affected by delusion.
Is the common sense attainable?
The sheep are still singing the same song.
A great scenery for someone looking for power.

For the sake of all the animals and human beings. For the
sake of all those who had to suffer.
For the sake of all those that get hurt:

Curious light projects these apparitions
In a slow dance
It beats like heart beats
Do they want to stay connected
To the solemn man
The curious light projects these apparitions
In a slow dance
It beats like heart beats
Do they want to stay connected
To the solemn man
Along the line
We come to find
You shot yourself
Along the line
We come to find
You shot yourself
Hey! x 8
Hey! x 8
Strip it hard

When I first saw them standing all pale-faced and scared
With bodies just trembling and eyes that just stared
I thought I would go up and behave like a priest
Speak of redemption or just say the least
And they never moved
When I joined them a little later they didn't think I was new
’Cause I was just as brittle from being with you
I saw a few jaws clench when I mentioned your name
But they never said anything about all their pain
And they never moved
And they never spoke
And they never cried
When the first one fell down I started to cry
And the second one was flailing preparing to die
The one just before me turning his head
Said: you best say a prayer son ’cause soon you’ll be dead
But they never moved
And they never spoke
And they never lied
Seeing your ghost there running through the dead bodies
Averting your eyes from the mess that you made
And reaching me tired looking into my cold eyes
You just flinched at my question
Do you now feel betrayed?
But I never knew
And I never fell
And I never loved again
So now the first one, a new beginning of the line

You couldn’t find the answer
So you failed this vicious test
Your thoughts like smoke
It made you choke
I think you need some rest
You think you’re so funny
But your smile is just pretend
This ship sails through
Your river of thoughts
Will never reach its land
please try to say I’m okay
Before you fall and fall
These dreams you made
Just fall out waste
No one saw them all
I don’t think you’re crazy
I don’ think you’re fool
You just lost the line
So that’s fine
You cannot change the rules
I don’t think you’re crazy
I don’ think you’re fool
You just lost the line
So that’s fine
You cannot change the rules

I let my city crumble
I set my prisoners free.
The fields of baron empty
as my people round and flee.
Now money holds no value
and neither does my life
we ain't 'bout one woman
who is pasing in the night
Didn't see her coming
empty her leave,
Didn't see the fool I was
with the heart upon my sleeve.
Chorus:
Take it all what's mine,
if it's gone then there's nowhere left to hide.
Take it all it's feel
seems you needed plenty more than me.
And you can steal the other hands
and extort my master plans
'cause today this is where I'll join the line.
There's a merely punctuation,
I'm sure I'll be okay
Time is but a mind frustration
but you knew that anyway
I only wanted love,
too much to ask,
you acted quite the same
until you lost the mess
Didn't see you coming
Didn't see you leave
Didn't see the fool I was
with my heart upon my sleeve.
[Chorus:]
In the distance I see the smoke,
It's just another man you brought,
I know what time's make me sad

I know he was unkind
Though I don't know what he did
He left a scar on you that you keep hid
We could have been so good
We could have run the lights
Something inside of you just froze up tight
I've been half in love before
I can't live here anymore
Now I walk the line
Between the truth and the lies
Between the sighted and blind
I'm walking the line
I was a painter at a sidewalk café
Telling my story with a brush and paint
Even if the good folks said it's a masterpiece
If I don't see the truth, the rain can wash it away
I've been half in love before
Been too proud to ask for more
Now I walk the line
Between the truth and the lies
Between the sighted and blind
Yeah, I'm walking the line
Now I walk the line for a taste of your wine
To be tied with your twine
I am walking the line
Only a fool would stay
Make his bed out in the rain
Out in the rain
I have been that man in so many ways
For too many days
It's all gone astray, all gone astray

The line
Take off your shoes and stay awhile.
Welcome to my head.
Everything's in overdrive.
Listen what he said.
He said one little thing can lead to another.
Whatcha gonna do when it all comes down.
Just one time. just this time.
Everything and anything can end in a minute.
Why you wanna go and lay your heart on the line.
On the line.
Wait a minute.
Take a minute for my senses to come back to me.
I can win it cause I'm committed to the person that You want me to be.
The places here are comfortable.
Few and far between.
But when I get the call.

Wake up, your time has come
Stand up, and start to run
Until your dreams come true
You will betray yourself
If you have someone else
Who works instead of you
And the fear of what you don't know
Makes you want Him by your side
And the bitter taste of danger's in your mind
And you never crossed the line
You never got exposed and used to hide,
Pray your Father, close your eyes
Will you leave it all behind?
Never lookin' back, you run so fast
Stop to whine and do your best
Believe in your...self
The nights, have never been
So dark but you can hear
A voice that make you smile
Out there what's goin' on?
Don't care you're on the run
