Will This Pilgrim Progress by Ed E
Embark on this journey
Never thought I'd take
Started this pilgrimage
To the revered estate
I cringe at comparisons
While boarding the plane
Contemplating clouds
How does the soul change?
Will this pilgrim progress
From destruction to heaven
Collecting the stones
that were thrown At Saint Stephen
A stray smudge left
By unconscious hope
Walking where they walked
Haunts of our Heroes
Some morsel of essence
It's the business of history
Bought by ancient impulse
Entertainment disguised as Piety
Will this pilgrim progress
From destruction to heaven
Collecting the stones
that were thrown At Saint Stephen
The motive is devotion
Nothing here to earn
I'm not here for research
I'm a desperate pilgrim
The rain falls
On the obscure & famous
Truth does not change
Over time & space
All I want is a flashlight
in this dark room
All I want is a river
in this desert of gloom
All I want is relief
from this land of pain
All I want is cleansing
of this stain
------
Will this pilgrim progress
From destruction to heaven
Collecting the stones
that were thrown At Saint Stephen

Lips

Her Lips Said Yes, But Her Heart Pounded No by Ed Englerth
She was extremely young, she didn't feel young
She thought everything would be great
She was twelve, she became a teen
It was like a leap of faith
She loved to do things
Share deep secrets with her best friends
She had a good family, taught her right from wrong
She was sensible or so it seemed
He was older and so popular
Talented and the center of attention
She was overwhelmed he'd noticed her
She was his selection
And he said I love you I love you
And I want you to know
He said do you love me
She did not reply
Now she'd had friends but not this many
lots of people wanted to talk
She noticed the boys want her now
She told them all to walk
Her boy was older and so popular
Talented and the center of attention
She was overwhelmed he'd noticed her
She was his selection
And he said I love you I love you
And I want you to know
He said do you love me
She did not reply
So she showed her love
She was violated
She was innocent no longer
She broke up with him
He asked her back
But there was no longer any splendor
A few days later he was “in love”
So to speak, with someone else
She was used
She was drowned with shame
She was swallowed up by guilt
She was alone
He'd been older and so popular
Talented and the center of attention
She'd been overwhelmed he'd noticed her
She'd been his selection
And he said I love you I love
Her lips said yes as her heart said no
Her lips said yes as her heart said no
And now her hearts so cold
She's afraid to love and afraid to be loved
Her lips said yes as her heart said no
Her lips said yes as her heart said no
He lips whispered yes as her heart pounded no
She was extremely young
She finally realized how young
She thought everything would be great
She was twelve n' turned thirteen
and it was like a leap of faith.

No One To Blame

Is No One To Blame by Ed E
Is no one to blame for all this pain
For this emptiness that we maintain
Is no one to blame
For the wars that rage
For the hate we hurl
Is never gauged
*. Am I okay are we both the same
are you okay is no one to blame
Is no one to blame
For the coldness we feel
When everyone's okay
There's no one to heal
Is no one to blame
For the results we see
Wasted lives
Unmet needs. *
In this world are we all the same
Do we stand Where We Belong
Is there really no one to blame
Something's sure gone wrong **
That's ridiculous
that's insane
that's Insidious
That'll be our bane

Curious by Ed Englerth
I don't know why but
I was just curious
I saw daddy drunk
I heard sex called luck
I've seen fire smoke
and life called a joke
well I was just curious
I was fascinated
I was overly interested
Like a cat near a cold black hole
I was just curious
ouji boards and horoscopes
witchcraft and lycanthropes
Like a gravesite
I want to know what it's like
I was just curious
I was fascinated
I was overly interested
Like a cat near a cold black hole
I was just curious
What is love and
What is hate
Nothing is really safe baby
It's just to hard to wait
The just curious says, yes yes yes
I was just curious
I was fascinated
I was overly interested
Like a cat near a cold black hole
I was just curious
I was just curious
I was fascinated
I was overly interested
Like a cat near a cold black hole
I was just curious
//: I was just curious :// 2X

Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here by Ed E
Just across town
From the job I work each day
I’ve got an apartment
And a red Chevrolet
I’ve got a DVR
to catch my videos
So it won’t seem so empty
When I get home
* I so often
wish that you were here
To touch my fevered brow
And calm my worst fears
The same familiar scenes
Moment to moment
The money comes n’ goes
For bills and rent
Makes my outside hard
Turns my outside in
I close my eyes
And try to breathe again
*
Won’t you love me?
Past emotional poverty
Won’t you love me?
And help these eyes to see
Won’t you love me?
Isolation takes time to heal
Won’t you love me?
Help my unbelief * *

Ed To Pam

Ed To Pam by Ed Englerth
We talked the night away
But nothing was said
You spoke to me in words of
Black n Red
Neither of us can say
What we do this for
And get up in the morning
And close the circle once more
All you're asking of me
Is a little of my time
If this moment is money
There's not much we can buy
You don't feel for me
What I feel for you
If you see beyond responses
They're found untrue
This is Ed to Pam
I am who I am
You're the same as me
And that's the Irony
If you want to want me
Then understand
I'm not a hero
Just an ordinary man
I don't play mind games
I don't play dice
I wouldn't gamble
With our love at any price
This is Ed to Pam
I am who I am
You're the same as me
And that's the Irony
Change a phrase here or there
And insert each other's names
Change the time the date the place
We're not the only ones the same
//: This is Ed to Pam
I am who I am
You're the same as me
And that's the Irony :// (2nd time.. )
and yet we both fail to see.

Behind An Old Forgotten Wall by Ed E
I had written a love song
o tell you just how I felt
and I thought I'd finally captured
what I'd always meant to tell
but now I simply can't remember
just how my love was told
the music and the melody
in my mind has gone so cold
still my love for you is burning
still for you I'd give my all
//: Still for you my love waiting
Behind an old forgotten wall ://
In some ways I feel I understand you
in other I know you not at all
The hope that I keep within me
Is that somehow you will break down my wall
//: still my love for you is burning
still for you I'd give my all
Still for you my love waiting
Behind an old forgotten wall ://

Turning To You by Ed Englerth
God is whispering tonight
Though the music's playing loud
And I can hear every word
Even in this crowd
No one understands as well
As the one who made my heart
The reason it's breaking
Is it's missing a part
//: Turning to you :// 3X
It's no use trying to run
I've been through that hell
No matter where I go
You know me oh so well
There's a hole inside of me
I've tried everything to fill
Nothing heals the pain
Only you ever will
//: Turning to you :// 3X
I listen I don't speak
I can't move I feel so weak
You're reaching out to me
Your touch is all I need
//: Turning to you :// 3X
Turning to you
close as a heartbeat
Turning to you
close as a prayer
Turning to you
and you'll be there

I Want To Connect

Connect by Ed Englerth
The night of nights - a low low tide -
life's sure long - In this killing fog –
Lights passing by Not trying to hide -
We hold each other - Seems like forever -
I want to connect - I want your touch -
Just one time - Won't be enough –
I want us to last - I want to know you -
I want to connect - I need rescued –
I want to know who you are - - Connect direct -
I'll give all I am - I'll plead and I'll beg –
At every attempt - It's gets so intense -
Sweat pours through my soul - And yet I'm so cold –
I am not alone - It's touch and go -
I'll fight till I die - Don't say good night

Remind Me

Remind Me (you're my home) by Ed Englerth
I don't want to sing
I don't want to cry
It's hard to live when
Nothing coincides
I'm almost blind
In this light
I reach out
I need you tonight
Remind me
Use the telephone
A billboard
Or cheap cologne
Use the man on the street
Let yourself be know
Remind me that
You're my home
Face grows old
Friends depart
By grace alone
I've still got a heart
My eyes still open
Although I squint
They've predicted the worst
It ain't happened yet
Remind me
Use the telephone
A billboard
Or cheap cologne
Use the man on the street
Let yourself be know
Remind me that
You're my home
My mind tends to forget
The lessons that are most important
My best years are already spent
I pray I'm not an embarrassment
//: Remind me
Use the telephone
A billboard
Or cheap cologne
Use the man on the street
Let yourself be know
Remind me that
You're my home :// //: You're my home :// (repeat n fade)

Revolution

What Kind Of Revolution by Ed E
The halls of justice
Are empty and cold
Their concept of right
Comes from below
We elect, representatives
To a Congress of futility
What kind of revolution
Church trades God
For another
She's working on Love
As a debtor
The artist reflects
Through a darkened glass
To interpret the view
A perpetual task
What kind of revolution
Something deep down is shaking me
God, what are you doing
There's a revolution raging inside
I hear your voice calling
What kind of revolution
Is coming down
What kind of revolution
You taking about
What kind of revolution
Listen for that sound
What kind of revolution
Hear somebody shout
What kind of revolution
Some just want out.

Working Girl (prostitutes song) by Ed Englerth
She's a Working Girl
She ain't got time for love
It's been a long life
It's lasted a whole eight months
She never thought of this
When she began
Just down on luck
And a heart of pain
Those who said they loved her
Never took the time
When they heard her story
Well how could she be so unkind
They thought she reflected
Dirt upon their name
They never took a minute
Except to give her the blame
She's not just a working girl
She's a human being
n' She deserves respect
From you n' me
Where will she turn
When the trouble comes
When there's no refuge
And it won't let up
Evening falls
And she's all alone
So it's back on the street
It's her only home
She's not just a working girl
She's a human being
n' She deserves respect
From you n' me
We can not continue
To causally toss her aside
Or the father will treat us the same
So let's open our hearts wide
She's not just a working girl
She's a human being
n' She deserves the truth
From you n' me
She's not just a working girl
She's a human being
n' She may have made mistakes
So have you n me
She's not just a working girl
She's got human feelings
n' She needs Jesus
Just like you n me
She's not just a working girl
She deserves the best
God's love and forgiveness
She's just like the rest
Just like you n' me
You n me
You n' me n' the working girl

Fall Of The Wild

Fall of the Wild - by Ed Englerth
The panther walks In the sunshine state
To the vanishing point The condos won't wait
Black rhinoceros Are killed for their horn
For North Yemen's daggers They're almost gone
//:It's the fall of the wild://
Between Chinese development And the desire for Giant Panda pelts
There's less than a thousand Of these slow breeders left
//:It's the fall of the wild://
Within 50 years One-quarter of the world's species could be gone
Will we destroy the world? Before we see what's wrong
//:It's the fall of the wild://
When we talk about living sustainable
& how we can take steps of self-management
to be able to live on the income not depleting the capital
that supplies the income. The same lesson applies to earth capital
that supplies all of life on earth
But short-sighted economist would rather kill the goose
that lays the golden egg clamming human ingenuity & technology
will somehow raise the goose back to life.
However human depravity will only strangle it again.
//:It's the fall of the wild://
Soil erosion, deforestation, overgrazing adversely affect productivity
in farming, forestry, livestock sectors.
This slows overall economic growth. These are agriculturally based economies.
And how is it that we fight over oil and yet pay more for water.
There are substitutes for oil. But with water, there are no substitutes.
With ozone-depleting denial we’ll soon all live
in the ultraviolet zone of reality.
Sunburns, cataracts, skin cancers these are already increasing
in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, & Chile.
Australian TV broadcast daily UV levels so people will know
the best days to commit slow-motion suicide.

Sin Kills

Sin Kills by Ed E
* Sin kills and it's no big secret
It's been like that
since the beginning of time
It seems like it'd be obvious by now
Maybe we've grown up blind
This world is crumbling around us
We've turned our backs on God
We've dreamed our dreams
They all seemed right
But nothing's right *
If we want to see
The walking dead
Just open our eyes
We die a little more every day
As we walk away*
If we say we don't sin we lie
If we refuse the savior we die * *

Under The Word by Ed Englerth
What do I do when the battle fades
When the clash of armor is but a memory
I see the blood-red dawn do I cry or sing
This battle's over now the war begins
//: Under the word Under the word
Of our God and king :// 2X
What you see now is not what you get
This is a shadow beyond a vale of regret
The every day of every day is where we spend our time
A manifestation in the daily grind
//: Under the word under the word
Of our God and king :// 2X
The sound rings empty if we in ourselves
If it rests in the flesh it burns in hell . . . (lead)
//: Under the word under the word
Of our God and king :// 4X
What do I do when the music fades
When the crash of guitars is but a memory
I see the blood-red dawn do I cry or sing
This song is over here is where it all begins
//: Under the word under the word
Of our God and king :// 2X

Tonight

Tonight by Ed Englerth
You sat down across from me
The room was warmed by kerosene
We sat quite still the music played
And we are both past our teens
Isolated by our silence
Friends intervene on our behalf
An openhearted night is past
A soft touch a relaxed laugh
We came to share our solitude
Hesitations were overruled
I took you home
Now I'm alone . . . tonight
We spent several days together
And the rain poured down outside
Spoke of friends and situations
And our nights were occupied
We came to share our solitude
Hesitations were overruled
I took you home
Now I'm alone . . . tonight
Restlessness slid it's head in the door
With both withdrew and closed our eyes
The physical does not satisfy the soul
Why believe the lies
We came to share our solitude
Hesitations were overruled
I took you home
Now I'm alone . . . tonight
Now I'm here all alone
I'm alone tonight
In a world like this
There's no reason
I'm alone tonight
No matter how many
Or how consistent
It was always so cold there in my bed
All that's let is discontent
I'm alone tonight
Alone . . . . . . . . . tonight

The Longing

The Longing – by Ed Englerth
Wishing to be compatible - To have his cake n’ eat in peace –
Wanting not to wait - To escape this night of grief –
Longing to walk in freedom - Longing to trust n love –
Longing for a reason - Longing fro the renaissance –
Bruised n blue - His back is sore n stiff –
His fingers touch welts - That cannot be hid
(Chorus)
Understanding isn’t mercy -
Still lost in his old neighborhood –
Nothing’s changed in all these years –
New friends for old friends -
The future is sold cheap –
A slave to his old desires –
The world’s secrets - A snare for the fallen n found –
A bludgeoned soul laid open - Eyes shut tight he recoils
(Chorus)

You'd Think We'd Catch On by Ed Englerth
I watch the sunrise but I can't feel the rays
I've grown numb washing cafeteria trays
What a way to live I see my life spent
The all-night diner is my investment
Who put these rules into action
These rules that we follow, by who were they sanctioned
There's something I've noticed I'm embarrassed to mention
But since there's a pattern you'd think we'd catch on
And it's six nights a week
And it's two blocks from home
And there's one day off
And It's spent all alone
There's a girl at the diner
Her man set her free
Not too bad looking
She see's nothing in me
Well who put these rules into action
These rules that we follow, by who were they sanctioned
There's something I've noticed I'm embarrassed to mention
But since there's a pattern you'd think we'd catch on
Day after night
It's always the same
If life is a gamble (if life is a gamble)
Then there's no prize to claim
Who put these rules into action
These rules that we follow, by who were they sanctioned
There's something I've noticed I'm embarrassed to mention
But since there's a pattern you'd think we'd catch on
You'd think we'd catch on
Since there's a pattern
You'd think we'd catch on
You'd think we'd catch on
You'd think we'd catch on
Why can't we
Why can't we
Why can't we catch on
You'd think we'd catch on
