Mountain

I got to go
We been here too long
Nothing but the mountain
Stands In the way
Reap and sow
Is all we know
Behind me death and decay
On we go
Thru mountain snow
Ahead we will find a better way
On the Mountain
On the Mountain
On the Mountain
Fortune lies ahead
Must we leave behind our dead
With ground too hard to dig
We press on
We press on
Reap and sow
Is all I know
Behind me death and decay
On we go
Thru mountain snow
Ahead we will find a better way
On the Mountain
On the Mountain
On the Mountain
I don’t mind
If I die
on the side of the mountain
Mountain, sand, sea and sun
I will walk the earth in search of the place called home
And when its found will I still run?
Will I walk the earth in search?
Will I still roam?

I Am The Ox

Today I am strong
I am the ox
I work the earth
I rearrange the dirt
Clouds bring the next rain
And soon the ground starts the shift
And with it bringing Earth’s gifts
I am swimming in a sea of green
Oh I
I watch her
My mother nature
A large very large stature
My mother nature
Oh I
I watch her
My mother nature
A large very large stature
My mother nature
Never again will i be owned by another
Never again will I be owned
Cause I’m a free man working for no other
I’ll be a free man till I’m gone
A crooked neck
and tilted spine
But I’m doin fine
cause this land is mine

Fishes

Sleeping with the fishes
Wonder who’d want to breathe the air
Everything is funny
When no one even seems to care
To keep me going
I need something
To keep me going
I need something to feed
Strong kill weak
Weak slog along
Somewhere in between
most of us belong
To keep me going
I need something
To keep me going
I need something to feed
Mosey on by
Witness execution
Watch the fall sky
A flawless execution
Gone mom I’m gone
never said goodbye
Now I am alone
Sit and wonder wonder why
To keep me going
I need
To keep me going
I need something to feed
I’m gone
I’m gone
Never said goodbye
Sit and rock alone
Wondering why
I know its wrong
I know its wrong
I know its wrong but I can’t stop
I know its wrong but I can’t stop
My heart it pounds
My mind it rots
My pupils fixed
is this it?
I know its wrong but I can’t stop

Out In The Wild
04:08
|

Out in the wild
Trapped under snow
Out in the wild
Firewood low
Try to stay sane
Cabin fever
Goin insane
under the strain
Stuck in a web
Is it real
or in my head
Feeling of dread
Is this real
Or is it death
Lines crawl on my face
Lines crawl up and down the walls
I need to leave this place
Cause the wild calls
The wild calls
I warm my hands with snow
I feast on icicles
I’ve become more numb
I thrive in this fools paradise

If I'm Gone
04:41

Used to work for the man
Slave a month for a grand
Not enough to get by
So I waved bye bye
Grew my hair and got gone
On the road all alone
With my wits less than sharp
I got robbed in the dark
If I’m gone
I can do no wrong
If I’m gone
I can do no harm
If I’m gone
Stay fucked up at all times
Rip copper from the ground
Keep the dog that I found
That loyalty is programmed
It’s hard to sleep in the night
My mind puts up a fight
Wish I had a warm bed
The liquor makes it easier to accept
And if I’m gone
I can do no wrong
Your worries I regret
The liquor makes it easier to accept
Spiraling down
Round and round
Stuck in a ditch
I got myself in
Its so hard to get out
Its so hard
Miss my mom and my dad
The simple life that we had
But I had to be on my own
To show the world how I’ve grown
Was there ever a doubt
That the world chew and spit me out
I pressed on this way
And now this is all I can say
If I’m gone
I can do no wrong
If I’m gone
I can do no harm
If I’m…

Count the days I been alive
Each day a new sunrise
Sunset’s done
I count up by one
Calendar up on my wall
Count my days
Count my days
Each one I can recall
Mark in grey
Mark in grey
Calendar up on my wall
Count my days
Count my days
Each one I can recall
Mark in grey
Mark in grey
Morning, early
Take our time
For we will be leaving here
Silence, nothing to say
That is ok, for we will be leaving here
Startling, this beauty
The beauty
Like I was once dead
And born back again
I been re-animated
Lie I was once dead
And born back again

Trigger Happy

Something funny
I kill myself everyday
Trigger happy
It don’t take much these days
I try to resist my friend
But he insists
And I give in
And melt into the shadows
Work till brain dead
Come home unwind
And erase the day
At least for a short time
A short time
Try to resist my friend
But he insists
Then I give in
And melt into the shadows
I melt into the shadows
Shadows

Many Forms
05:51

Me take in sites
Me on a walk tonight
At the end
Road bends
One decision away from oblivion
In black woods
Where everything’s alive
Needles into skin
have I died?
Am I alive?
Shoosh my love
Feel the sound
The Earth it sings when it’s full
A lovely baritone
Mama guide me
Mama guide me home
The human mind is geared
Its all to be feared
One cautious step at a time dear
At a time
In mother nature’s noise
You’ll never lose your mind
The only fear to own
Lies behind your eyes
Shoosh my love
Quiet now
Your footsteps oh, how they echo
Wait not yours
Blood run quick
Sweet instinct
Fill me with your strength
Tonight its fight or flight
In the weeds lay the rattlesnake
waiting for the lighting strike
Last breath is what I take
Taste of blood fade to the night
Many forms it may be seen
Different creatures it has been
Many forms you never know
where to turn, where to go.

The Burden of Restlessness

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL.

It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia. Here's my full review - https://www.7thlevelmusic.com/?p=12710

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...

The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.”

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space.
