    BLOOD ON THE WIND

    Some people say there's a bad moon on the rise,
    and some people say, it's the coming of the anti-Christ.
    Some people walk through the valley in the shadow of death with open eyes ...
    and some people just turn their backs
    to the blood out on the wind.

    Well I woke up drunk and dirty down in New Orleans
    I'm all out of cigarettes, and my jones is calling me
    I reached into my pocket ...
    felt nothin' but a hole and she said:
    "don't leave THAT on the nightstand when you go! "

    Gypsy woman, don't you put no spell on me,
    cuz I can see you cookin' up some kind of voo-doo recipe.
    She said, "son .. you better get out while you can ...
    and you better watch your back,
     cuz there's blood out on that wind.

    Lord have mercy on my wicked soul !
    My flesh is torn and freyed,
    and these threads are 10 days old!

    OH LORD! How did I end up in this place?
    I can't remember my own name,
    and I can't bear to see my face.
    Please forgive me, for all my wicked sins,
    but don't look inside my soul,
     cuz there's blood out on the wind.

    I've seen desert rats, and heads in rags ...
    junkies ,whores, and body bags.
    These dirty streets ain't nothin' less than mean.
    Sometimes I just wish I could clear my weary head
    of all the crazy shit I've ever seen.

    Gypsy woman ... don't you tell me what you see
    cuz I can see it in your eyes
    It ain't no voo-doo mystery.
    She said, " son you better get down on your knees,
    and look deep inside your soul ...
     hope your Maker hears your plea"

    Sweet Jesus! Please fogive all my wicked sins,
    and wrap your gentle hands around my soul,
    cuz there's blood out on the wind.

    Seems like I got myself a situation ...
    might be time for some introspective contemplation.
    OH LORD ! Will you be my soul's salvation?
    or do my demons win again,
    when I give in to this temptaion?

     

    I'm down on my knees Lord!
    I'm begging you please Lord!
    Won't you save my wicked soul !
    There's blood on the wind!
    Blood on the wind.

    Saw a comment of yours. You are very hard on yourself. Your pen just wrote a miracle of words and wicked souls are special souls. Sally

    I suppose ... I can be very hard on the world in general, based on the state we're in right now. But y'know .. it's like this ... we all get scared sometimes right? for whatever the reason is ... and we feel that impending doom hovering over our heads ... doesn't matter if it's real or not .. only that it's precieved ... so we scramble and pray, in these "end of days" ... just in case there is a GOD ... even when we don't believe. I'm actually a song writer, and though this one draws from my own personal experience, it more of a character I was portraying. If it moved you at all, or made you think a little bit, then I did my job .. yes? Anyway .. thank you soooo much for your attention and comment. Truly.

    this is the thing you see, if your going to live on the basis that there maybe a god, so just in case you better be good, just in case, make sure you get enough material objects, just in case when we die, we can take it with us :) I don't think that if god exists he wants you to worry about him as much as we do, we were never sposed to treat him as some idol, but society did that for him. they made him famous. Its like this, he allready sent someone to teach us about sin, and through that he made sin exist, everything happens for a reason, everything, like don't you think if your unhappy in things like love, and someone comes along that makes you happy, do you think god meant for you to suffer, or perhaps sent you something that would make you happy, but the way you handle it is your choice, so just in case, perhaps he offers us the very things that make us act in sinful ways, but maybe in order to appreciate the lengths you go too in order to strive to achieve or find validation, sometimes it's through sin we appreciate what we have or the amount of trouble we would go to to live, I don't think gods intention was for us to suffer, or for us to worry about how we come across to him, because then the way we are judged is completely superficial and forced, if anything we would be judged on how we act when we don't think about how we would be punished, we need to see sometimes we need to live for ourselves instead of for churches and peoples rules. have a lovely day and just in case don't forget to reconcile your sins :P just live.

    we all get scared sometimes right? for whatever the reason is ... and we feel that impending doom hovering over our heads ... doesn't matter if it's real or not .. only that it's precieved and yes this is true, we all do get scared, but we all handle it in different ways. or hide it differently either way, the truth is we all get scared. even for stupid reasons.

    Thanks, man. I truly appreciate you taking the time to check it out. I had a feeling you could relate. feels pretty damned good to have survived it all though .. doesn't it.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
