Lyrics:

DISINTEGRATED By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-12:28am-4/14/2005 (V-1) High on life, one hand on the reigns Always a smile, I was never in pain My castle walls, were high and strong I could not see, there was something wrong (CHORUS) Success was there, I could taste it But then my life, disintegrated (V-2) What do you do, when things you love Slip through your fingers, like so much dust What can you say, what will you pray When you can’t regain, what crumbled away (CHORUS) Success was there, I could taste it But then my life, disintegrated (V-3) Down in the mud, I struggled like hell I tried to climb, but only failed So I gave up, and sank beneath I let go of, some part of me The bottom rung, before my eyes I took a hold, began to rise Like the phoenix, from it’s ashes But I’ll gain what’s lost, then surpass it (CHORUS) Success is there, I can taste it And nothing will, disintegrate it(repeat)

WIDE ANGLE DREAM(S) by:Jose’ Diaz 2/7/05-2/8/05 (v-1) Looking down on us from his high place of intellect Smirking in the back of his great mind We have given up on his higher education Cause there’s’s simply nothing more to learn (pre) Success means he’ll be lonely But he’s lonely even now We really want to help but don’t know how (chorus) What does he see What does it mean What’s on the screen of his Wide angle dream (v-2) Something in his eyes is scaring each and everyone of us That’s because it’s something we don’t know His wisdom’s far beyond his age And we see no evidence of fear (pre here) (chorus here) V=B,A||: PRE=G,A||:,F,G,A CHORUS=A,D||:A,G,F,G,A 4x 2x 2x

KNIGHTS OF THE DARKNESS WRITTEN BY: JOSE’ DIAZ AND HERMAN CARDONA (V-1) Words may be spoken, the truth may hide Down to the outcome, who’ll be surprised Dogs in the doorway, blind in the eyes Go through the doorway, into the night (CHORUS) Knights, of, the darkness Knights, of, the night Silent ‘til sundown But ready to strike The knights (V-2) Down through the ages, we’ve heard the lies Who will protect you, Who’ll be the guide Who’ll do the fighting, Who’ll stay alive Who’ll face disaster, Who will survive (CHORUS HERE)”The knights!”-4x (LEAD) (CHORUS HERE)”The knights!”-4x (LEAD) “The knights!”-4x(end last “-“ with a yell)

Lyrics:

DEATH AND DECAY
BY: Jose’ Luis Diaz 3/21/05-11:33A.M.
(v-1)
Scavengers are circling waiting for a taste
Looking up through blood and mud
We slowly fade

Followed orders to the end proud for what we gave
Though we die we realize
We saved the day
(Chorus)
Death and decay, remember us today
Death and decay, accepted as our pay
Death and decay, bullets bombs and blades
Death and decay, Death and decay
(V-2)
Bones bleach in the sun lighter every day
sure to crumble into dust
Then blow away

Flowers grow in the fields where our blood ran
Like millions of markers
Where we made our stand
(pre)
God has sorted out the souls and carried them away
The memories we leave behind slowly fade
(Chorus Here)
The scavengers feathers were red that day(repeat)

Lyrics:

REMEMBER ME Jose’ Luis Diaz (Verse1) I don’t see you, you don’t see me, That’s not the way it should be. But then again, I would spend, So few days at home. How do you do, in school these days? I hope you keep good grades. Graduate, you’ll need it, When your on your own. I miss you so, thought you should know. Some things don’t work out he way we plan Like falling rain, my problems, Finally broke through the dam (Pre1) I’m someone tired and old, who knows your name, You don’t understand but I hope you’ll see (chorus) Remember me--------------my son Thru winters chill and summer sun Remember me--------------proud of you I meant to see your childhood through Remember me--------------please do Cause I will remember you (Verse2) If many years, do pass us by, I’m sure you’ll still have questions why. I could explain, but only, If you’d listen well. It’s just a thing, of fourteen years, Of wasted time and wasted tears. I realize, what ended, never had a chance. So I moved on, but not by choice, Forgot her face forgot her voice. I think of you, too young, to really understand. (Pre2) I’m someone tired and old, who knows your name, My mind may fade but not your memory. I’m someone you once held, in high esteem, You don’t understand but I hope you’ll see (Chorus) Remember me--------------my son Thru winters cold and summer sun Remember me--------------proud of you I meant to see your childhood through Remember me--------------my boy Cause I will remember you (Lead outro with additional vocals below) Remember me-------------- I will remember you----------- Remember me---------------- yeah---------------------- All words and music written and composed by Jose’ Luis Diaz There is no sheet music as I don’t know notation. Recorded in 2003-2004 written in 2001 THIS IS DEDICATED TO MY SON Gideon Luke Diaz I miss you,and I love you. Stay good!

FINAL WORDS By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-3/23/05-1:45pm (V-1) I inhale, deep as I can Not deep enough, to breath again My life replays, thruogh my mind From my beginning, to this point in time There’s screaming, it might be me I cannot tell, but that does not matter Coherence, melts away I feel my soul, and it seems to scatter (CHORUS) I part my lips, as if to kiss My final words, go unheard Into the wind, I speak the truth My final words, I love you (V-2) I feel you, from everywhere I coalesce, To just be there You feel me, as if I live You turn and look, into thin air You smell me, in the room You shed your tears, I sense your doom In your veins, the pulse of life I grab your wrist, you drop the knife (CHORUS HERE) (OUTRO) I love you, I love you(2x)

CUPID SHOOTS TO KILL By: Jose’ Luis Diaz 5/1/2005 10:52am (V-1) She hits deep, like a blade, that’s twisted both ways With a smile, she locks your gaze, trapping you in a daze (CHORUS-1) She’s a harbinger of thrills, Cupid shoots to kill (V-2) Like the wall, in turn three, or the punch, you never see If you could blink, you might get free, either way, you know you’ll bleed (CHORUS-2) It’s not a question of her skill Cupid shoots to kill (V-3)(vol/down)(decelerate) She is all your eyes can see, are you forgetting how to breathe You can taste her on the wind, as she licks her lips again You can feel your mind cave in, as she slowly starts to grin (CHORUS-3) Way too fine to be real Cupid shoots to kill, Hey!!!!

SEVEN MANIFESTED By: Jose’ Luis Diaz 4/7/05-6:17pm-Lopeno, TX (V-1) There is no tug of war for our souls Adrift in life, we have to row The dice are thrown, when we are born The skin we’re given, must be worn The wooden spoon, silver or gold Just hold it tight, as you grow old (Chorus-1) Seven sins, manifested They seek us out and we detest them Sloth, pride, wrath, envy, lust, glut, greed Seven sins, our souls are tested Seven sins that we don’t need (V-2) See your neighbor has it so good Your next thought, might be your fall Don’t get upset, that might make three The final four, you just don’t mean It’s deep within, just look again Nothing’s as good, as it might seem (CHORUS-2) Seven sins, manifested They seek us out and we detest them Seven sins, manifested They bind our souls as we protest them Seven sins, block the door These seven sins, should be no more Sloth, pride, wrath, envy, lust, glut, greed
