                                            YARD MAN

                                                                         (ALA: MOTERHEADS ACE OF SPADES)

(V-1)

We deviated from the plan, followed the whim of our own hand,

Created war and genocide, sullied this place that He designed,

Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord, but some of us still think it’s ours

That sound you hear is his sword, He’s coming now to clean the yard

(V-2)

This pool of life’s our only card, we’ve played it wrong for way too far

A thief is coming in the night, and he will surely set it right

Bear your soul don’t try to hide, He comes from somewhere deep inside

That sound you hear is his sword, He’s coming now to clean the yard

He’s coming now to clean the yard,

He’s coming now to clean the yard

He’s coming now to clean the yard,

He’s coming now to clean the yard

(Bridge/Lead)

(V-3)

Scream all you want it sound absurd, it’s gonna be worse than you heard

Bury your faces in your hands, or face what you cannot withstand

Kickin’ and screaming all the way, you played the game it’s time to pay

That sound you hear is his sword, He’s coming now to clean the yard

He’s coming now to clean the yard,

He’s coming now to clean the yard

He’s coming now to clean the yard,

He’s coming now to clean the yard

(Lead out)

Lyrics:

NOT ALONE

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-7-19-2009-11:27pm-7-20-2009-12:03am

(V-1)

We slammed the door on forever, when we brought the future home

Yesterday, evaporated, we were better off stoned

We set our sights too loosely, now we might not have the time

To push replay, to save the day, it’s the end of the line

(Chorus)

By the time they get the message, no one will be home

By the time they play the record, we will be long gone

I pray they realize, what’s been going on

For just a little while, they were not alone

(V-2)

All the prophets have agreed, when the end will bring us down

They picked a date, we’ll learn to hate, there’s nothing more profound

We can wallow in denial, we can argue our case

But in the end, we can’t pretend, we deserve another taste

(Bridge-1)

The deadliest of toys, the power to destroy

The speciescide runs deep inside, like Achilles there at Troy

The power to become, a better everyone

Instead we lay, ourselves to waste, we silence our own drum

(Bridge-2)

Maybe some day, far, far away

Our plight, will stop some race, from making the same mistake

(Chorus Here)

(Lead Out)

Lyrics:

ANGELS START TO FROWN

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-12-2-2009-7:00PM-12-6-2009-7:45PM

(V-1)

There you are, far, away

The silence, the distance, the pain like a blade

Is this winter, here to stay

The snow we’re beholding, might not go away

(Chorus-1)

If my name roll off your lips

And I’m not there to hear

Does it still make a sound

Do the angels start to frown

((V-2)

Here I am, far, away

I’m dreaming, I’m screaming, my heart on display

Here we are, for today

We’re dreaming, we’re screaming, we’re fading away

(Chorus-2)

If your name rolls off my lips

And you’re not there to hear

Does it still make a sound

Do the angels start to frown

(Bridge)

The angels, are straining

Their chorus, refraining

The stain-glass, is raining

The sky is complaining

I’ll scream for you, will you scream for me

Clouds in cathedrals, but clearly we see

(Chorus-1 here)

(Chorus-2 here)

(Lead out)

Lyrics:

                            THAT DAY

                                                       By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-4/17/2007-5:25pm-4/18/2007-11:10am

5:25pm

They need to stop looking, for someone to blame

It’s so clear to see, that man went insane

So family and friends, gather around

Say a few good words, for those shot down,

That day--------------(hold)

6:15pm

Let’s look in the eyes, of those who survived

Look in their hearts, deep down inside

We know this pain, we can’t re-arrange

Let’s give them the time, to turn away from,

That day---------------(hold)

(CHORUS)

Every day,

Is a step away,

Farther away,

From that day.

11:10am

Too many questions, will do them no good

A shoulder to lean on, the least that they need

Fingers are pointed, that just makes it worse

Hold back the press, just let them breathe

(Chorus here)

                                               SET

                                                                     By: JOSE DIAZ-3-25-2009-6:28?-3-26-2009-4:31PM

                                                     (I)

I caught the wave with you, we were in the tube

Seemed like forever, I thought it’d never end

The sun the sea and us, it felt like so much

Remember all you can, we may never ride again

                                                    (II)

We stopped the world its true, turned our passions loose

Sweet night endeavors, when nothing could do us in

The joy of what we found, never touching ground

So take it to the grave, could it have worked if you stayed

                                             (III-Bridge)

We became who we are,

Our wave crashed into shore

We drowned in the sand,

You pushed away my hand

I paddled out into the dawn,

But the good waves were all gone

                                                   (IV)

I left the beach today, there weren’t any waves

The ocean felt dead, just like the dream in my head

                                                    (V)

I thought it would never end, when nothing could do us in

We rode our set to the end, we will never ride again

                                             (Lead Out)

                                   MOMENT OF TRUTH

                                                                  By: JOSE LUIS DIAZ-2-13-2009-1:03PM-1:26PM

(Chorus)

The blind man scans the stars

The mute man sings a song

The deaf man hears the music

That the cripple man dances to

 The moment of truth

(V-1)

Way---H back in yesterday, a days labor a days pay

The sweat on your back, simple fact

Food on the table, pillow under head

A mans word was all he had

Now look how quickly man forgets

(Chorus Here)

(V-2)

Lawyers, politics, black and white smear into grey

Although you read its legalese

It’s all an act, to stab you in the back

They twist the blade several ways

Can you forgive them and forget?

(Bridge)

Forked and silver, many tongues

Laying waste to everyone

Change the rules in the game

Lead you right into the flames

(Chorus Here)

(Lead Out)

Lyrics:

                                                   STAY

                                                                          By: JOSE’ DIAZ-4-17-2009-2:48PM-3:15PM

(Chorus)

I’m gonna hold you close, and listen to you breathe

I hope you dream we dance, along to your heartbeat

We’ll let the stars roll by, across a velvet sky

All things will be set right, just make it thru this night

(V-1)

All the doctors leave, with their heads low

The machines just beep, all soft and low

You take a breath, you almost sigh

The stage is set, this must play out

As I hold your hand, it feels like ice

And your eyes are closed, in peace tonight

(Chorus here)

(V-2)

My mind replays, those wonder years

The way we laughed, the taste of tears

The storms we rode, the highs we reached

The dreams we lived, the walls we breached

(Bridge)

The words you said run thru my head

I hold back tears I fight off fears

Stay with me baby, stay with me baby,

Stay with me baby, stay------------------------H baby!

(Chorus here)

Stay-------------------------------H

(Lead out)

Lyrics:

                               FOREVER WON’T STAND BY

                                                                      By: Jose’ Diaz-1-23-2008-5:35am-1-24-2008-11:30am

(I)

How good is good, how mean is mean

Do you forgive or just forget

(Do/can) you recall your worst regrets

How true is true, how sad is sad

How crafty are your lies

Do you accept or just despise

How far to fall, how much means that’s all

Do you refuse though you lose

Do you give in and let them win

(Pre-1)

You have spread your wings, as far as you could

You aim for the stars, but it seems to do no good

You’re bending in the wind, as the storm settles in

The lightening fills the sky, as the days pass you by

(II)

How gainful is gain, how painful is pain

Have you been giving your best, this is life and not a test

How high can you climb, how deep can you reach

Look inside and you will see, you were born with all you need

(Pre-2)

You have lived your life, as best as you could

You’ve carried yourself far, like you always dreamed you would

(Chorus)

But forever won’t stand by---------------H
