Mother Sea By Derek Campbell From the album Reserection (2007) See me rise up like a phoenix from the ashes of the game see me burn into the sunrise with no memory of the name that had chained me like a virgin to the alter of the beast waiting for the flesh to break before my soul can be released Chorus: father sky mother sea into the blue as you enrapture me sister moon brother beast I will raise a toast to you before I feast you could never see it coming you cannot escape the grasp you best pray that on that day I don’t get medieval on your ass it may make you want to run and hide but that won’t do no good just relax and let it happen oh I really think you should (Chorus) Elevation Destiny Reservations? No no no no cause I know that it’s free… You will hear it in the water and the wind that blows the trees you will smell it in the flowers it will sting you like a bee through one hundred million life times with a billion more to go infinity embraces me and I’m falling like the snow… (Chorus) ©2007

Life Goes On By Derek Campbell From the album Reserection 2007 So many times so many lines unsaid so many places faces fade into my fantasy so many reasons different seasons bring the memories of colors dimmed in moonlight shadows neath the mountains majesty at different times different mind laid foundations upon which I’ve laid the structure of my concept of reality to be eroded by the winds of time untill all that’s left of me is nothing but the memory of my vanity Chorus Life goes on like a roller coaster life goes on like a speeding train life goes on and I’m getting older in spite of the pain same thing at the same time every day but something told me that was not the way it had to be stayin down in the town being pushed around by a clown to make a living working in a factory with no color in my eyes as the spectrum that was once a vivid vibrant pallet fades to different shades of grey like a cocoon wrapped around my conscious mind until my spirits metamorphosis escapes into the light of day Chorus There’s no time to be wasted focused on the question of what waits to greet me just beyond the gate if ecstasy when I’ve arrived there will be no secrets I can’t taste and answers to the questions I don’t know will be revealed to me just like the vapor of the cloud to the rain to the river flowing to the ocean where the void embraces me to be relieved of the ego that encapsulates the purity of being that exists until I cease to be Chorus ©2007

I’ll Be By Derek Campbell From the album Reserection (2007) It was hard hearing everything you had to say and I think I’m over it now but still it lingers in my memory did you have to be so cruel? Did you have to put me down? Couldn’t you have found a more poetic way to work your issues out? I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t this I will be what I’ll be and you will see I don’t care just what you say or if you’re thinking about me and though my mind will fall behind my soul will be free I will be what I’ll be and you will see I had to take a step back I had to push rewind I had to find myself a place deep in the back of my mind where I could hide with everybody lookin at me I don’t want to be paranoid but everybody’s out to get me and my fait I can’t avoid I’ll never be who they see and they will never see me but I won’t loose my sanity to this vanity no more (Chorus)

Mr. Badluck By Derek Campbell From the album Reserection (2007) 5 nights 5 fights from the ringside seating Bettin on the chance my man ain’t gonna be bleedin Any worse than the other guy Hit him in the ribs sock em in the eye Take him down and defeat him Body mind and soul Wrap him up and eat him like an egg roll Easy on the spicy sauce In the land of illusion see a man get lost In obsession with the lesser things Graspin in the dark for the old brass ring There’s danger in the inky shadows sniffin out the stench of those stinky old Hosanna, you’re a super star Healin lepers with the junk from the trunk of your car Luck be a lady tonight Just be careful of her man cause he’s ready to fight He’s Mr. Badluck and he ain’t in no mood for ya You best be getting out of his way Mr. Badluck ain’t got nothing but a bruise for ya This ain’t no game and he doesn’t play hay hay Sit still hold tight don’t move cause it might bite Barkin in your face with its teeth right inches from your nose Don’t blow it don’t let em see you sweat If you scared then they’ll know it And then you’re screwed black and blued Lyin in the alley with your ass all chewed up Crazy how the sh.. can go Knock once for yes knock twice for no I’ll hear you through the ventilation Make my assessment of the situation And act upon my baser instincts Thrashin like a beast on the eve of my extinction It’s inevitableIt’s even more nutriyiouse than a vegetable Too unique ti servive and yet I thrive in a colder climate About 5 hours drive from Mr. Badluck and he ain’t in no mood for ya You best be getting out of his way...

BLING By Derek Campbell From the album Reserection (2007) Valuable commodities and oddities a lot of these is reasons sleezes cheese and freeze ya please, disease is rampant when you stamp it with the symbol of the higher archic figure that enables the corruption of the hearts and spirits, minds that fear it's power to devoure every hour every minute that your in it it's progressing and ingesting and infesting where you're nesting so the best thing i can do is screw a little with the mindset of the masses and the classes full of glasses wearin geniouses and imbeciles who think the will is strong but flesh is weak enogh to tweak the peak of which i speak in freakish new directions of enlightenment and questions for the thinker on the mountain summit till you plummet back into the chasm of the blissful ignorance and pignorance allowing for the exploitation of the tender feelings but you're peeling off the cieling and exposing weaknesses within the structure of the system but you missed 'em when you kissed him on the ring' I'm singin' this is the prime time i'm breakin out this rhyme i'm twistin up my dime i'm singin cause i'm bringin the bling this is the new way this is my holliday there's nothin left to say i'm singin cause i'm bringin the bling i'm in the free zone i'm burryin my bone i'm hearin that my phone is ringin' now i'm bringin the bling i am the chosen one ride off into the sun i'm stickin, just for fun, my thing in cause i'm bringin the bling i'm shakin it off i'm takin it off breakin it off i'm waking up the sun is risin i'm suprisin myself with the immages that flood into my conscious mind and find a dry and barren desert waiting for the rainy season to release it from the grip of summer's swelter now i melt her with my kisses and my wishes all come true for just a moment don't it seem the ring off brass is trash my grass is greener on the side i'm on then on the billboards false demeaner i raise a crop and chop it for the gleaners this is the prime time i'm breakin out this rhyme i'm twistin up my dime i'm singin cause i'm bringin the bling this is the new way this is my holliday there's nothin left to say i'm singin cause i'm bringin the bling i'm in the free zone i'm burryin my bone i'm hearin that my phone is ringin' now i'm bringin the bling i am the chosen one ride off into the sun i'm stickin, just for fun, my thing in cause i'm bringin the bling ©2007
