Well - are you?

It’s always [...]

rocks & Jesus

Shelter

February 22nd, 2009 · 8 Comments

“There’ll be no shelter here! The front line is everywhere.”
That’s the memorable chorus to Rage Against The Machine’s song “No Shelter”, referring to - believe it or not - pop culture:
“Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth reich culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got you searchin for
The thin line between entertainment and war
There’ll be no shelter [...]

opposite way

August 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

A recording of “Opposite Way” has been added to the Featured Items Page:
The Father sent his Son down
The Light of men
The cross he bore was crippling
Rejected in his own town
They couldn’t see the Sun shining
He knelt in the garden and prayed

It’s not Your will for me to stay
Your will [...]
