Lyrics by Richardson Graysing God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son,” well the knife was at Isaac’s throat and the deed was nearly done But God said to Abraham, “Stayeth thy hand, for of the shall I maketh a nation and a land But woeful is the way and weary is the foot that traverseth the divide, so watch where every step is put There was always gonna be a reckoning You knew there was always gonna be a reckoning At 61years King Solomon contrived he would build himself a knowledge that would lead him to the sky But Sheba must have known, for the marrow in her bones, that the pride before his fall would be his only way home For asunder hearts and minds, they can groweth over time, eye for eye and blood for blood, truly what’s yours is also mine There was always gonna be a reckoning She knew there was always gonna be a reckoning 40 days and 40 nights, Jesus walked the wild alone, for the wilderness he knew, would lead to his final road And perceiving that his fate, it was tied to heaven’s gate, he began upon his journey to the Lord and heaven's throne There was always gonna be a reckoning He knew there was always gonna be a reckoning From the day the devil loosed his bonds, to the day he came to Eve, anon From the day that Adam left through Eden’s gate, to the day Cain sealed Abel’s fate There was always gonna be a reckoning He knew there was always gonna be a reckoning

Lyrics: Your only vanity is the vain of fool’s gold, there behind the dead of your eye Where the vein of your thought, where the vein of your thought lost the effort for the try You’re only satisfied, in spite of a fitting reaction You’re only satisfied, in spite of all the blood on the wall One for the other, one for the other, you must make an even, honest trade there of them both All parts, all parts equal, truth or consequence, from the least thereof unto the most Said, baby, truth or consequence Your only mind is one of a singular nature, your only power is that of the distorted kind Where the aim of your threats and the aim of your force extorts the effort for the try You’re only satisfied in spite of a fitting reaction You’re only satisfied in spite of the lore of the law One for the other, one for the other, you must make an even, honest trade there of them both All parts, all parts equal, truth or consequence, from the least thereof unto the most Said, baby, truth or consequence Written by R.

LYRICS: Tick-tock, the seconds on the clock, they go round and round, they go round and round Baby 1,2,3, baby A,B,C, baby you know me, baby, X,Y,Z, my way, it ain’t always the highway But it’s starting to stand and deliver And I only wanted you to listen because I thought you might like to know So we could reconcile whatever differences it was that we had been harboring Give or take 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, I don’t even know, maybe even more, you could probably exponentialize it Magnetize every field and realm that you never even ever heard of, ‘cause you weren’t listening Just so, oh so, just so, oh so, just so, oh so close Too many or nary a care and I’ve waited such a, waited such a long time in the course of this here affair And y’know the root itself, the root itself is cut and sentenced to its deed The root itself, the root itself is lost but for the seed And y’know I’ve torn my pages, I’ve torn my pages, torn them over, up and down Yes, you know I’ve torn my pages, I’ve torn my pages and I’ve thrown them to the ground Give or take 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, I don’t even know, maybe even more, you could probably exponentialize it Because it’s all really only even just a turn of phrase Baby 1,2,3, baby A,B,C, baby you know me, baby, X,Y,Z, my way, it ain’t always the highway, or the right way But it’s starting to stand and deliver, cause I’ve been listening Just so, oh so, just so, oh so, just so, oh so close Tick-tock, the seconds on the clock, they go round and round, they go round and round Written by R.

LYRICS: Courage, it is a mix of many things and when amalgamated, it will rise or it will fall Generosity, it is a virtue and a vice, of this I have been learned, more than once and more than twice And in the aftermath of all this daring, artful dodge, where the race is run and lost or won, no matter what the cost, till the deal is done Loyalty, it is a place of many tears and many torrents, I have more than been told And honesty, it is a triumph and a truce, where the dark and winding river meets the rough and tumble truth And in the aftermath of all these faces and these eyes, to trade the focus for the pupil, the vision for the sight In the aftermath of all this daring, artful dodge, where the race is run and lost or won, no matter what the cost, till the deal is done Wisdom, is a devotion to the senses that temper and define the realms and essence of divine Compassion, it is a many colored flame whose light is casting always the fire and the rain And in the aftermath of all this honor and this pride, where the road runs ever always steep and the heart runs ever ocean deep And in the aftermath of all these faces and these eyes, to trade the focus for the pupil, the vision for the sight In the aftermath of all this daring, artful dodge, where the race is run and lost or won, no matter what the cost, till the deal is done Courage, it is a mix of many things and when amalgamated, may it rise and never fall

Lyrics The higher the climb, the further the fall The chords of death entangle me, the archangels tell me not to worry all The truth is bright, like a blinding light, hot like a burning desire For sure, you search for the cure, for sure, all day and all night Get low, sometimes you've got to get low Born under a bad sign, seems like maybe that I could've been warned Here today and gone tomorrow, ain't got no time here for being forlorn The road winding, up ahead, just like all the miles you're leaving behind I don't know if you'd even want it, if you knew what you was going to find I don’t care if you believe, I don't care if you believe it or not Sometimes it's just plain time, to get'y up and on your horse and right out of dodge Get low, sometimes you've got to get low Written by R.

Lyrics: Marcus Aurelius was a philosopher king, renowned for his wisdom, but everyone knows every now and then every wiseman plays the fool Well those are just the ropes of the ring, the breaks of the swing, the ways of this world as a rule He said, "You know that you may chase a track just to trace it right back to yourself" He said, "You know that you may find that you have been found wanting, you know sometimes it can be oh so very hard to tell He said, "You know you ricochet all the rhetoric that just doesn't suit you, but sometimes, man, like the tailor says, you just have to go and get dressed" At least that is the way, at least that is the way I have seen it, thus far More or less Lady Boudicca, she was a warrior-queen, Rome, they claimed that she betrayed them, but her people knew that she was justified and just of mind She said, "You know it really all depends, you know it really all depends on how you tame yourself and the storm in your eye She said, "You know you slip and you slide where all the surface is wet, you know you slip and you slide where all the surface is wet" She said, "You know you ricochet all the rhetoric that just doesn't suit you, but sometimes, man, like the tailor says, you just have to go get measured and dressed" At least that is the way, at least that is the way I have seen it, thus far More or less Written by R.

Lyrics: You've been hauling like a midnight rider, holding down the line You've been calling out for a reprieve, well, baby, so have I You've been chipping at the stone so long, hoping it would take you home The jagged edge of life, it will cut you, sometimes right straight down to the bone Careful what it is that you're willing to serve or you may find that you wind up on the menu Take it to the bank, my principles, I'll never surrender and I don't intend to Hold the line I see freedom as a tangible thing and I have reason to believe that it has 18 wheels I don't assume to hold authority over anything except my faith and what I feel Made an offering of open peace, but the olive branch, you know, was refused The dogs of war insist they must devour themselves, never concerned with knowing peace's rule It seems that you came for the scandal, heard the truth and now it looks like you've decided to stay If we're really ever gonna transcend the trance, everyday is the day Hold the line Hold the line, while you can, hold the line my dearest friend Hold the line, it all depends on if we can hold the line Hold the line You've been trucking like a midnight rider, holding down the line You've been calling out for a reprieve, well, baby, so have I Careful what it is that you are willing to serve or you may find that you wind up on the menu Take it to the bank, my principles, I'll never surrender and I don't intend to Hold the line Written by R.
