JOSE DIAZ

Lyrics:

Bloody Mustang Jose’ Luis Diaz
(Verse1)
In the hills where all the old men have gone to die
You can hear their words cry on the wind that they ride
I can hear the hoofbeats of a horse never tamed
Guarding all the elders it’s the bloody mustang
(Verse2)
Several times I’ve watched him run thru the hills
Drippin blood so red it filled me with chills
Seethe blood it runs all over the land
And it drips from the hand of the white man
(Verse3)
He’s a beast or so the old men say
Devil horse who paints the hills all in red
Hoofbeats moving faster than thunder
Braves listen and silently wonder
(Verse4)
Any brave who’d like to take the chance
He can hear the wise cry like the wind with advice
He can hear the tales of all the braves who have failed
Make a choice, will he watch, or will he ride----------

DISMANTLED ME
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-2-16-2007-11:20am-11:31am
(V-1)
You came on like a detonation
But you became pure devastation

You had my head high in the clouds
Your storm broke and you brought me down

I saw the floor before I hit
The impact wasn’t the worst of it
(CHORUS)
You dismantled me
Flung the pieces to the wind
You dismantled me
While I was down you struck again
(Bridge-1)(V-2)
I haven’t healed but I’m on my feet
What you did will be hard to beat

I’m stronger now than before
You’ll never get tome no more
(BRIDGE-2)
You taught the lesson, I just learned
Look in my eyes and you’ll be burned
Watch your back, you’ll feel me before I attack
(Lead)
(CHORUS HERE)(LEAD OUT)

Lyrics:

DIGGING MY GRAVE
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-12/20/2006-2:55pm-12/22/2006-6:40pm
(V-1)
I do my best to be my best, to not be like all the rest
My pride runs deep in my veins, though they keep me so restrained

My muscles heave against the bonds, I try to scream my vox is gone
Look away if you’re weak, don’t waste your vox don’t speak for me
(CHORUS-1)
That sound you hear, is just the blade
They’re digging hard, thru sand and clay
(V-2)
They’ll rip my skin and break my bones, here with my friends I’ll die alone
They’ll steal my thoughts and all I’ve known, they’ll carve my name into the stone
(V-3)
Measure the thread, cut it this long
Let me think I’m right, tell me I’m wrong
Let me breathe, but only so much
Teach me to feel, but don’t let me touch
(CHORUS-2)
That sound you hear, is just the blade
They’re digging hard, thru sand and clay
They dig so long, their fingers fray
But still they work, digging my grave

Lyrics:

CAUTION, DREAMS IN PROGRESS
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-3-29-2007-10:10am-11:20am
(V-1)
Eyes open wide, mind on horizons
Gears shifting time-wise, data streaming in

Possible outcomes, fuzzy decisions
Lucid and focused, let things evolve
(Chorus)
Caution,
Dreams in progress
Caution,
Sleep underway
Danger,
Outside existence
Danger,
Do not disturb
(V-2)
Faux-paus, I get it now
Thoughts scream in silence, with echoes held in

Resolve, the answers flood in
Which ones to use, where do I begin
(V-3-key change)
Reality, is waiting on me, just let it wait, in here I take my time
I seek and I find, the answers that be, look and you’ll see,
Don’t be afraid to dream
(Chorus Here)

Lyrics:

TO THE OTHER SIDE
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-4/5/2007-10:25am-11:55am
(V-1)
The unknown awaits, patiently
Reality is fading, faster each day
The years have rolled by, with the stars in the sky
Angels open arms, cradle my soul

I look back to see, what happened to me
Ups and downs of life, scars I came to bear
Times when I crashed, times when I flew
This final stretch of road, carries my soul
(Chorus-1)
The turbulence is high
My heart breathes a sigh
I close my eyes and fly
To the other side
(V-2)
In this place I wait, patiently
I watch you make your way, closer every day
The years crawl by, I see it in your eyes
My arms open wide, to cradle your soul
(Chorus-2)
The turbulence is high
Your heart breathes a sigh
Just close your eyes and fly
To the other side (I’m here-----H)
(Lead out)

Lyrics:

RAGE ON DISPLAY
By: JOSE’ LUIS DIAZ-4/9/2007-2:35PM-2:50PM
(V-1)
How long did you hold it in?
Do you remember when it began?
Which straw was the one that breaks?
Do you realize your last mistake?
Of rage!

We can’t see it in your eyes
So how long were you in disguise?
We saw the path you painted red
Now we want to see what’s in your head
(Chorus)
Rage! , on display
That rage! , from yesterday
That rage! , our blood ran cold
Rage! , within your soul
(V-2)
Tell us did you think it wrong
Did you feel remorse in the end?
Some wept seeing what you did
If we turn you loose will you strike again?

Comfort do you feel it now
Show us your scars inside and out
Open let us look inside
Do you realize how many died?
(Lead) (Chorus) (Lead)

Lyrics:

LOUD-N-PROUD
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-3-7-2007
(V-1)
Fists in the air, loud and proud
Oceans of eyes, face the stage
Everyone’s there, shouting out
Facing the stage, The world tuned out
(Chorus-I)
Loud, and proud, thousands hanging out
Loud, and proud, pushing back the clouds
(V-2)
Heavy guitar, bass and drum
Stomp to the beat, pump those fists
You know the words, so sing along
We’ll take the stage, from dusk to dawn
(Chorus-I-here+)
Loud and proud, loud and proud
Loud and proud, and pushing back the clouds
(Lead out)

Lyrics:

DEFENSES
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-2/27/2007-2:18pm-2:35pm
(V-1)
Day in and day out, they beat on the walls
The turrets are shaking, but nothing will fall
Attacking with words, and immoral actions
Their siege never ending, they come without cause
(Chorus-1)
The eggshell I walk on still cuts thru my feet
They hit me again but my heart keeps its beat
I won’t show them tears I won’t cry my song

My defenses are still holding strong
((V-2)
Their campaign plays out, from every side
There’s no use in shielding, my soul or my pride
(Pre)
Let my wounds bleed, knock me to my knees
My God wash away, all the pain I perceive
Eyes open wide, head to the sky
The foundation shakes, I’m safe here inside
(Chorus here)

Lyrics:

WORLDWIDE
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-6/1/2007-3:10pm-3:48pm
(V-1)
The darkness devours, the light that shines the way
Chaos and anarchy, grow stronger every day
The best of Samaritans, helping the displaced
Along come the serpents, to chase their souls away
(Pre)
Twisting their blades in the backs of the saviors
Ripping the ghost from the flesh of our neighbors
(Chorus)
Insanity, suicide, worldwide
This blasphemy, is all I see, worldwide
It comes for you, it comes for me, worldwide
What’s happening, should never be, worldwide-------(hold)
(pre2)
Parting our throats with their old rusty blades
Friends drown in blood and we can’t look away
Marching our young off to die or be maimed
One drop of sun might just end this campaign
(V-2)
The beast builds a tower, to climb up to the Gods
Their lies so deceitful, they started this war
We charge into battle, they hide in plain sight
They are the darkness, and we are the light
(Chorus Here)
(Lead-Ibanez)-(Schizoid-Light-Dark battle)

Lyrics:

LOVE-R-LEAVE
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-8-13-2007-9:55am-10:15am
(V-1)
The grain of the wood on the table,
The look in your eye (is) unstable,
I’m searching to find, what you have in mind, to do---H

I’m trying to find simple answers,
To questions I may never ask,
My words build up pressure, as I hold them back, again---H
(Chorus)
What do you want? What do we need?
All that can save us, is what we believe.
Where do we turn and why, haven’t we learned,
To open our hearts and just, love or leave----H
(V-2)
I’m chasing the sun as it rises,
That I’m never home ain’t suprisin’
I don’t catch the sun, another day done. And gone---H

Do you think of me when I’m gone?
My thoughts are of you the day long.
And when I get home, I feel something wrong, is it me?
(CHORUS HERE)
(KEY CHANGE?)
Just love---H, or leave---H
I need you, do you need me?
Just love---H, or leave---H
Take my heart or let it be---H
Just love---H, or leave---H (repeatx?)

Lyrics:

AND MEMORIES HOWL BACK
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-6-19-2007-12:40am-4:50pm
(V-1)
The fire’s out, the smoke has cleared
The clouds you see, they’re all made of tears

The waters flow, but nothing grows
The heart still beats, though long ago it froze
(BKV-“past temperatures below”)
(V-2)
I held on, for way too long
I failed to see, all of the damage done
(BKV-“what’s done is done”)
I let go, but way too late
When I hit, I heard everything break!!!!
(Chorus)
I turned the ashes over, again and again
Nothing left to burn here, without or within
I scream into the darkness----------- (Hold)
And memories howl back------------- (Hold)
(V-3)
The fire was bright, a beautiful sight
It parted the clouds, but just look at things now
I got kicked aside, I should have died
I’ve never hurt so bad, there’s no use asking why----- (Hold)
(Chorus-2)
But I turn the ashes over, again and again
Nothing left to burn here, without or within
I tore the coals to pieces, searching for that spark
But all I found was ice there, ice in every part
I heard my heart shatter, my tears went to the sky
All I’ve got to loose now, is a wasted life
I scream into the darkness----------------- (Hold) (repeat3x total)
And memories howl back------------------- (Hold)
(Lead out)

Lyrics:

THE NEW DOGS OF WAR
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-9-24-2007-6:00am-6:20am
(Chorus)
Arise! Go forth into battle
Arise! Let your weapons seek
Arise! You’ll never show mercy
Arise! Let the vanquished weep
(V-1)
Terabytes, but no emotion, cold as ice but you can feel
Body heat, speed and direction, nice and neat, you’re born to kill
Enemies, useless defenses, look thru walls, and underground
Help their brave, to meet their maker, all who come, will be taken (down!)
(Chorus Here)
(V-2)
Genocide, without a question, lance the boil, drain out the fester
Programs tell, you when to fire, you think at, the speed of light
(Key Change)
You are, the new dogs of war, unleashed to dole out battle scars
You are, the new dogs of war, join the fight and raise the bar
(Chorus Here)
(V-3)
Help their brave, to meet their maker, all who come, will be taken (down!)
(Lead here)

Lyrics:

BREAKING NEWS
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-10-5-2007-6:00am-4:20pm
(V-1)
We’re numbed by the daily news
The headlines heavy with drama
No longer surprised by what’s shoved in our eyes
They act like we beg them for more.

We take in the scenes that they show
They push them like drugs to us all
Each story’s a mix of the next perfect fix
We’re addicts and news is the score
(Chorus-1)
This just in, play that again
We interrupt, regular schedule
Emergency, broadcast
Keep you informed, first on the scene
(V-2)
The images hit you on cue
They’re edited just to shock you
They come at you faster with every disaster
How you take them’s up to you
(Chorus-2)
This just in, play that again
We interrupt, regular schedule
Emergency, broadcast
Keep you informed, first on the scene

This just in, say that again
Amber alert, attention please
Extra extra, hear all about it
Direct to you, breaking news
(Lead out)
