CHASTAIN LYRICS

1. The Mountain Whispers

[Music: David T. Chastain, Lyrics: Leather Leone]

No one told me it was easy
But the wall I built was too high
Another nature falls around us ...helpless
I've been living just for myself, not aware
There was another
Please stop and look around

The Mountain Whispers
Said I don't know
The Mountain Whispers
But I don't listen
I don't listen

Everyday our path continues, where it leads is always changing
Any can't we help her get it right
No one told me is was easy, but we all can
Stop this madness
Aghhhh!!!

The Mountain Whispers
Said I don't know
The Mountain Whispers
But I don't listen

It's all around us
Coming right at you
It's finally found us
What to do

It's all around us
Coming right at you
It's finally found us
What to do

Seems like we want the wrong things
Asking for what may not matter
We must see before we lose
Yeah, life asks us many questions, will we ever want the answer
It's not go forward aimlessly

The Mountain Whispers
Said I don't know
The Mountain Whispers
But I don't listen

I don't listen...
Why don't we
The Mountain Whispers
But I say that I don't know
The Mountain Whispers
But I don't listen
No!!!

2. For Those Who Dare

[Music & Lyrics: David T. Chastain]  

Strike out! Move forward
It's all there for you and I
Don't listen to your own doubt
Just think of what's you own prize

[Chorus:]
Carry on to your heaven
Carry on thru the end
It's all for those who dare

Fight that fight with true meaning
You gotta take a chance now and then
You have to seek just what you're after
Before it will happen

Carry on to your heaven
Carry on thru the end
It's all for those who dare
For those who dare

Do you dare?

There may be no tomorrows
There may be no todays
So don't you wait till much longer.. no!
The world is here not far away

Carry on to your heaven
Carry on thru the end
It's all for those who dare
For those who dare

You gotta take a chance now
Take your chance then
Yeah, you gotta dare
It's all for those who dare

3. Please Set Us Free

[Music & Lyrics: David T. Chastain]

I feel their eyes staring hopelessly
Saying goodbye to tomorrow
You hear them cry and you hear them scream
Please set us free

Outer space for the master race
Tell me what good does that do you or
I high ideals but what is real
Can't you hear, hear the children cry

[Chorus:]
Save me, hold me, take me to your life
Free me, seize me, do the thing that's right
So you think your world goes down, down thru the ages
Face me, help me, please set us free

Another gun, is it that much fun
When are you gonna get that chip off your shoulder
Worldwide so we tried
Hunger kills, and that's been told her (she says)

Save me, hold me, take me to your life
Free me, seize me, do the thing that's right
So you think your world goes down, down thru the ages
Face me, help me, please set us free

Genocide, suicide, hate is growing deep inside
We see your money going down the drain
Can you feel, death is real, you seem to think is no big deal
You act like it's not your blame

Please set us free
Please set us free

Please set us free
Please set us free

Reach into your heart, you can help save the day
Maybe soon good things will come your way
Just remember, it's up to you and I
Speak your mind and change things what you may

Save me, hold me, take me to your life
Free me, seize me, do the thing that's right
So you think your world goes down, down thru the ages
Face me, help me, please set us free

Please set us free
Please set us free

4. I Am The Rain

[Music: David T. Chastain, Lyrics: Leather Leone]  

They write the books, they set the rule
They say do this to get somewhere
I'm still here
We choose this life, let's face their pack
We've got a strength that they can't see
We all believe

[Chorus:]
I feel your pain
I am the rain

You look at me, I look at you
We are the same
Just a different name
Your circle may not ever be unbroken, but who cares
Just be aware

I feel your pain
I am the rain

We have the time, I know the way
Push ahead and follow me, let it be
The place is now, the wind is yours
To get what you deserve, find the nerve

I feel your pain
I am the rain

I'm the rain, rain, rain...
I feel your pain...
I am the rain!

5. Night Of Anger

[Music & Lyrics: David T. Chastain]

We wait for the dawn, it can't be too long
Our freedom awaits at the battle
We might not return, but we must serve our turn
For our cause must change this injustice
It's the night, it's the night, the night of anger

As I look into the distance, I see another world
A world I cannot be, unless I kill the foe
We try to change their ways, but they turn their backs on us
They've put us down by tyranny, they've put us down by death
But now the time has come, we are silent for no more
It's now or never step aside, I want my dignity

Night of anger, set us free
Night of anger, give us all we need

For I deserve to be equal, in the eyes of the law
And I deserve a life, like the ones that I saw
A right to vote, a right to speak, as decency declares
Listen to my voice, our plight is too much to bear

We are the pain of the masses
We are the cries of chance
We are the wave of the future
The night of anger

We are the pain of the masses
We are the cries of chance
We are the wave of the future
The night of anger

We know the time will come, as the war has begun
But the cost of it all will be forgiven

It's the night, it's the night, the night of anger

Night of anger, set us free
Night of anger, give us all we need

The night of anger
It's the price of your freedom
We'll live, we'll be and we'll see
We shall all believe in
The night of anger

6. Barracuda

[Heart cover]

So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the Sun - kisses for everyone
And tales - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds
Bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down on my knees
Wouldn't you, Barracuda?

Back over Time when we were all trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong you're selling a Song - a name
whisper game

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn it out to the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You... I think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools - silly fools!

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn it out to the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?

Yeah!!!

7. Light In The Dark

[Music & Lyrics: David T. Chastain]

The morning cries a lonely song, for something that's real
A look around, a trail of tears, the emptiness she feels
I close my eyes, I move away, and I hear the silence of my thoughts
You're the light in the dark
You're the light in the dark

As the world comes, down upon me, I look for relief
I don't know just what to turn to, to escape this grief
Hear the voices scream too loud, and the wicked pace
You run for cover, run for safety, I gotta have my space

You're the light in the dark
That's what you mean to me
You're the light in the dark
When it's time for me to be

Thunder, is all around, you got to stand clear
Turbulence is all about you, you gotta face that fear
You call for help, warning of madness, a day in the life
Hypocrisy so angrily, it's all part of the strife

You're the light in the dark
That's what you mean to me
You're the light in the dark
When it's time for me to be

Night then day, day and night, yes it all is the same
Cautiously, a parody, it's part of the blame
After all, you needn't fight, try just a little peace
So is life, and all of its glory, you can't tame that beast!

You're the light in the dark
That's what you mean to me
You're the light in the dark
When it's time for me to be

You're the light in the dark
That's what you mean to me
You're the light in the dark
When it's time for me to be

8. Secrets Of The Damned

[Music & Lyrics: David T. Chastain]

Born in blood, thru the ages, the mystery lives on
The power thrives, or so it seems
In the minds of the weak

Secrets of the damned

Don't let them in, it's mind control
You needn't answer their call
Just walk away, they have no redemption
There's nothing there at all

Secrets of the damned
Secrets of the damned

They speak of love, but act with hate
In the name of their gods
Societies are penalized, from ideas lost in time

Secrets of the damned

Fairy tales and devil stories litter the heart of man
Well intentions are thrown away, reality they can't understand

Secrets of the damned
Secrets of the damned

Holy wars throughout the years, tell me when will they end
Reason is out of the question, they're all blind within

Secrets of the damned

Speak your thoughts, at high risk, fanatics lie in wait
Hopefully, they'll realize, life is what they make

Secrets of the damned
Secrets of the damned

9. Not Much Breathing

[Music: David T. Chastain, Lyrics: Leather Leone]

You are a liar
But I'm still inspired
Not much happening here
Not much breathing
Can you tell me why we're far away

Your line is repeating
You kept us there by here
Not much happening here
Not much breathing
Can you tell me why we're far away

I was screaming
While you kept me dreaming
Not much happening here
Not much breathing
Can you tell me why we're far away
Why we're far away

I'm still inspired!!!

10. Once Before

[Music: David T. Chastain, Lyrics: Leather Leone]

Sometimes we're tested, my time came now
Out of nowhere, recalling all my doubt
In your presence I question my voice
Knowing inside of us there's more than one voice

Take me, tell me, we've gone
Through this play
It's because of your being I feel this way
We've been here once before

I don't like to falter, or feel close to fail
In facing you we can tell there's no tale
In my mind your destined to stay
A vision that's inside of me now yours to betray

Take me, tell me, we've gone
Through this play
It's because of your being I feel this way
We've been here once before

Does this connection make way to you
And if it does what path shall we choose

Take me, tell me, we've gone
Through this play
It's because of your being I feel this way
We've been here once before

I've been a part of you before
I know you, I feel you
Once before

Once before... I knew you
Once before... I felt you

Once before!!!
