HEMINA LYRICS

1. To Conceive A Plan

[Coull, Eltakchi, Skene]

You ask me these questions
I’ve asked myself for years
After all this to find
This saviour of mine a peer
Down dangled cord of feather
As the bellows of Jacob sung
Bidded, I climb each tattered rung

Is this home?
Is this heaven’s gift to man?
Make me a child, rid me a father
Rid me a man!

To emerge from this flesh, to be born
To violate law – to be unplanned
Why me?

Fresh faced, bright eyed; a believer
A follower of yours beaten to the ground
Her blouse fell to the floor
Before she could let out her roar
I stumbled upon this universe
It’s catered and fit for me
Its beauty I’m yet to see

[Harmony Solo: Coull & Eltakchi]

Blood and puss coat these walls
And I’m ripped out with a glove
Was I plucked out by the one above?
Or just a product of this rape?

[Solo: Eltakchi]

What is this place you call my home?
You call this my home, what is this place?!

[Solo: Skene]
[Solo: Coull]

2. The Boy Is Dead

[Skene]

[Solo: Eltakchi]

He will die
She doesn’t know yet
He wants no lies

Have not a friend
More than that which I deserve?
I was defied
Woken from my celestial bed
I was a martyr inside my head
Banish me to here!

He will die
She doesn’t know
What he’ll become

It’s quiet, it’s easy
If you don’t believe
And you won’t, trust me…

Pious, servant, so sure you
Banished me to here

Know my tale
My scripture, my war
The boy is dead

[Solo: Coull]

Now you know
Now we know
The boy is dead
But his limbs still grow
A man is here
Taunted and tested
The simplest of childhoods?
“God plays with his best!”

Life’s little pleasures like
Shuffling in sand
The gift of a soul
Left youth contraband
His voice of a stranger
Known better than my own
His bidding and judgement
Left me overthrown

3. For All Wrong Reasons

[Skene]

For all wrong reasons
Struggling to find identity
I’ve seen each passing season
The basis for my calamity

Oh , I’ve stolen things
Ah, I’ve fought and I’ve killed
There, Have I proved my worth now?
This, it’s all that I’ve known

Oh, we’ve circled in rings
Ah, we’ve bashed the young kids
There, I’ve proved my worth now
This, to earn your respect
To become a we – to fit right in

[Solo: Skene]

4. And Now To Find A Friend

[Skene]

[Solo: Eltakchi]

Like awakening from some lonesome rift
These bones know not of friendship
I’m a pilferer, No I’m not, I’m a liar
Just show my name lit up in lights!

So take a glimpse and have a peer
At the pressure on this humble man
Hear the smashes of glass
Hear the shackles bind him
To the flashing van

It’s a feeling that’s inside
A mutuality to find
If this is what one really is
Mother was right

Save your prayers for me
A petty thief, a vagabond
And now to find a friend
If I am how he made me;

A crowned jewel, a baby in a golden basket
I’m an angel without wings
Find my friend

Like a pigeon to the plague
My mind already made
Just a virgin boy so shy
Who fell at the sight of green eyes

It’s a feeling that’s inside
A mutuality to find
And if she closed her eyes she’d see
Her angel lies in meSave your prayers for me
A petty thief, a vagabond
And now to find a friend
If I am how he made me;
A caged fool, an arrow with no direction
I’m an angel without wings
Find my friend

If you could turn to me
Then we could share this all
If you would turn to me
Then we could share this all
If you could turn to me
The we could share…

[Solo: Eltakchi]
[Harmony Solo: Coull & Skene]

Lying under stars with you
Lying on the sand with you
Be my angel, show me I can feel
We escaped my life, now this starts our war
Be my wife, crash me on the shore
Be the friend I never needed more
And make the son we’ll never love more

Save your prayers for me
A petty thief or your soulmate
I’m an angel with his wings
Found my friend…

[Harmony Solo: Coull & Skene]

Release me from the cold
And let me learn to love
I live each day in shadow
You sad excuse for divinity!
Let me…
I finally found my friend

5. With What I See

[Coull]

Fight or Flight
Emotions I don’t know about
Escaped my world
The one that fate paved out for me
Guilt for leaving mother
But her ways I can’t defend
She vested herself in him
For her life I would descend

Where’s he now?

With what I see
The safety of my family
It was my mother and me
Starved of a paternity
All I ever wanted
Was a woman by my side
I think I’ve finally found her
With what I see she looks fine to me

Patiently,
I visit home of yesteryears
The fragile devout lady
And her two-bit mountain sanctuary
To sate my growing hunger;
To assure her I’m still there
With what I see
She doesn’t even care

[Solo: Coull]

6. Hunting Is For Women

[Skene]

Family, Gather round
This rustic trip was surely made for us
To take life is precious
Or so they say
To make it is natural
To end it, divine
Or so they say

Find your target, don’t lose sight
Grip the handle oh so tight
Shoulders straight and if done right
Hunt your prey in full flight
That is not the only way
People make the choice to stay
She didn’t have that chance
To hell with this, I pave my way!

Two of us, two of us, two of us
Made one of him

Three of us, three of us, three of us
Killed wolves and deer

One of him, one of him, one of him
Made everything?
Add it up!

Find your target, don’t lose sight
Grip the handle oh so tight
Shoulders straight and if done right
Hunt your prey in full flight
That is not the only way
People make the choice to stay
Think of the son and think of the wife
To hell with this, I pave my way!

[Solo: Skene]

I’m sorry, my son
For leaving my wife
Blame it on him, blame it on me
She opened our tent to find me being divine
And as quick as she came, she turned the blind eye

I’m sorry, my son
for leaving this life
You’ll thank me for this
Your forehead, I kiss
So I’m taking both barrels
They’re on my back now
I was no prize game
But I’ll lay on the pack

Jabbed into my ribs
Shoot through the bile
Just another beast on the pile

7. Even In Heaven

[Coull, Eltakchi, Skene]

Transcends the known realm
Like angels birthed from hell
Life takes you by the helm
Myself, my soul – you dwell

It’s yearning to see the light of day
Because of you
I’m willing to fight to show that I love you
They say all is fair in love and war
Even in Heaven
No one exceeds, not even meets
All that is you

Match made to compliment
Assailed by you, I fell
Our limits I resent
Of relished fears you tell

You wear my heart on your sleeve
Its weight you will relieve
Risk brings reward, so share our common fool

[Solo: Eltakchi]
[Solo: Skene]

I only ever had eyes for you!
Every night in my dreams, I see you there
Blinding my right…

No one exceeds, not even meets
Even in Heaven

8. Conduit To The Sky

[Skene]

He is dead
Finally now she knows
He never told her one lie

9. Haunting Me!

[Coull, Skene]

I was born and raised
Not the ideal son
Simply life’s caesarian
A scar that’s left to heal
The end’s the only way
I’d learned how all move on
But if nothing’s really there
It’s haunting me

Is this all I’ll be
Old, alone, cold and scared
Is this all I am?
Haunt me

Torn from the skin
Of a woman without sin
Only left to be
This hollow shell
And if death is not the end?
I’ll be with her again
With nothing left to see
It’s haunting me!

Is this all I’ll be
Old, alone, cold and scared
Is this all am?
Haunt me, haunt me
It’s haunting me!

[Harmony Solo: Coull & Skene]

Is this all I’ll be
Old, alone?
Is this all am?
Haunt me, haunt me
It’s haunting me!

10. Divine

[Coull, Skene]

[Harmony Solo: Coull & Skene]

Welcome home
It smells nice
I remember the scent of the gardens
You planted here
I was the seed
Planted in the flesh of old
Where is my mother?
I’m meeting her here

It’s yearning to see the light of day
So answer me
Was willing to die to show her
Your boy is here
Show me the door to the holy place
Where divine fears are shed

Welcome home
I’ve been here
The walls are so reminiscent
The photo frames too
Is my father here with us now?
Oh no, that’s not right
The purest and good die young
I’m back to where I’ve begun

It’s yearning to see the light of day
So answer me
Was willing to die to show her
Your boy is here
Wasn’t I born in this holy place
Where divine children are led?
Meet my only true friends
Birth and Death…

[Solo: Skene]
[Solo: Eltakchi]

Certainty unfolds
Goodbye life of old
Son and Wife were sold
To have my questions answered
Offered them a home
One that fit the mould
Show my mother how I loved them!
Just hope my prayers were answered

What is divine?
God only knows
What’s Divine
God only knows!

Why did she die?
And why was I born?
You gave me a friend
But it was too late
Show me your face
And answer for my life
This life was synthetic
And that was your fatal flaw
That was your fatal flaw

[Harmony Solo: Coull & Skene]

Show me your face
And answer for my life
This life was synthetic
And that was your fatal flaw
I read of your looks in books
I knew your voice so well
Angels are perfect?
A halo – no match for a gun

[Solo: Coull]

Welcome home, I grew up here
The walls are so reminiscent
The photo frames too
The pastures through the windows glisten
My answer is here
A golden mirror baron
In the greenest of fields

It’s yearning to see the light of day
So welcome me
Was willing to die to find out
Why is clear
Why was I born on the earth?
We’re puppets left to bleed?
Please come out to play
I’ve already paved the way

From this glance, a lonesome beam
Primes the inner one
Reflection’s cast, the mind to yield
The face is me

And from where I stand, this mirror before me
With what I see – my synthetic destiny
