Blessed with the gift of life
A new breed was born in man
Evolution spawned through time
The planet's greatest minds
They hailed their god
The creator, who made them live so well
But who'd have thought back then
They were soon to live in hell
He gave life
So they made him king of men
But he stole
Their lives with his other hand
Our father, who art in heaven
Why do you play these games?
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
So why's it so insane?
You kill millions of people
In your cold, depressing way
You watch your children die of famine
Stop and hear them pray
So now I think you should come clean
And say exactly what you mean.
We're not your toys you can throw away
Now your trust is slipping by each day
Forgive you father, for you have sinned
The entire human race
Created in your image
But you would not take our place
Here is wisdom
Our time is running out
But it doesn't mean
We have to live in doubt

Paper Love

You need something every day
Something there to call your own
Of everyone you see
You're the only one alone
Timeless days, sleepless nights
You know it's all you can endure
Take your time; don't rush in
You know you have to be sure
What do they have that I don't?
It's not a lot that I want
I've got to find my way
I've got to ease my pain
My money for your time
And maybe then I'll find
Salvation from your soul
But for how long?
Dark alleys lead the way
You can sense you're nearly there
Blackened windows, dirty air
Tattooed maidens hold your stare
Take your pick, then take a trip
Any ride will satisfy
Fifteen minutes, then she's gone
You can't find love; you wonder why
So you want to take a ride
Out of yourself; step inside
The door is open, come on in
There's riches here
Beyond your wildest dreams
False passion, paper love
Empty feelings
Did you get what you paid for?
So young at heart, and so naïve
The answer sought
Were they the ones you believe?

Easier to Bear

Sometimes, when I look
At all the people around me
I find it hard; hard to comprehend
And I'm feeling so harshly treated
By this world, and everyone in it
It's too late to cry, so close your eyes
We'll make this life easier to bear
It's too late to cry, so hold on
And we'll make this life easier to bear
Alone, but this world is full of people
You've got to make it on your own
'Cos you're all alone
And like the sky's so full of empty spaces
Hazy blue air soon becomes your home
Sometimes, when I look
At all the people around me
I find it hard; hard to carry on
And I feel a sense of isolation
From this world, and everyone in it

I am what you want me to be
Don't care who you are; I have to be me
I rule your dreams while you sleep
You try to run but there'll be no escape
You feel my presence from within
And as I near you feel your skin crawl
Underneath your bed and hide
There's no escape once I'm inside
Your memories will fade
Once my mind takes control
I'll seduce your body
And sink my teeth into your soul
Jesus Christ could be by name
Lucifer could be my name
Am I your saviour or your devil inside?
Nowhere to run; nowhere to hide
I am the light
I am in you
I am alive
Ashes to ashes; dust to dust
Forbidden passion controlled by lust
A shallow grave is your burial ground
A resting place
Where you'll never be found

Fioraidh Glasgow, UK
It's just me, all the way down. Although I do tend to write on my own and play all instruments myself, I have been known to
pull in some collaborations.
I love to experiment, musically, and enjoy playing around with time signatures.
