  1. Very nice Laurie, tell your husband "thanks for sharing".

    This is the most recent song I've written.

    6/2/04

    The whispers of some twenty years, still ringing in my head.

    The only voice that weaves through them, is the one that wants me dead.

    A canticle for this fallen son, now weeping for his bed,

    What little bit of hope remains, clings on just by a thread.

    Ghosts of pain that I have wrought, dancing on and on inside my head.

    Dirges drone on silently for a life that now seems dead.

    Well I could be a carpenter, working wood with my hands?

    Or maybe still a farmer who brings his fruit forth from the land?

    Better yet, my fathers trade, broken down and weary back?

    How to be a teacher with all the humanity that I lack?

    Couldn't You please write on the wall?

    Or speak to me through an ass?

    This resembles a crucial hearing test,

    that I fear I cannot pass.

    The whispers of some thirty years, still mourning in my head.

    Two voices strive to win my ear, and one of them wants me dead.

    A canticle for this fallen son, now crying for his bed.

    The tattered ends of hopes remains, cling on still by a thread.

    Well I could be a carpenter, working wood with my hands?

    Or maybe still a farmer who reaps his harvest from the land?

    Better yet, my fathers trade, crippled hands and weary back?

    You said to be a teacher once, but understanding still I lack.

    Ghosts of pain that I have wrought, dance feverishly in my head.

    Dirges droning silently for my flesh that now seems dead.

  2. Hail and well met all. :shades:

    Marc, Do I wish that was my job!! Fearless of the grief from the Aussies, let me say that Steve Irwin probably has one of the coolest jobs on earth(in my book anyway). This particular pretty belongs to a buddy of mine. I am scheduled for delivery of 2 yellow eyelash vipers this spring. They will be our first venemous. Waited until the kids were older and all that.

    Largest fangs of any venomous snakes in the world belong to gaboon vipers. "Cerberus" is still a young adult however, his are only around an inch long now.

    No fear Peaches. Peace, be still.

    Hi Edna and Earth :D

    Steel, That "birds eye view" picture is flippin' sweet! If I may ask, what do you do in Brazil?

  3. Well, can't argue with the bands website... However, I will post the lyrics to the version I have. Just for posterity's sake.

    Typed by me, just now, reviewed by my son and I. Here ya go.

    With the Israelites, 1st Samuel 17

    Saul and his men cried “No escape from the Philistinesâ€

    Up came Goliath, a hundred feet high it seemed.

    (Goliath) “I’ll end this war boys, send one to fight with me,

    Cuz’ it’s any easy way, we can tell,

    I defy Israel. Anyone you wish boys, doesn’t really matter to me. To me…â€

    Goliath, was quite a man, there where none who could compare,

    No one bigger anywhere.

    Goliath, was a champion, and everyone who saw him was afraid.

    No one… oo oo oo ooooooo, stood a chance against the guy.

    If he came back again this time tomorrow, forty one, forty one,

    Days that he’s come up for battle.

    Little David, said “I’m the one.

    Just a shepherd with a sling, but I step into the ringâ€

    “Good try little buddyâ€, King Saul replied,

    “But we need someone real big to face this brute.â€

    “Come on!†oooo oooo ooo ooooooo He said to King Saul.

    “I ain’t gonna die, this uncircumcised Philistines gonna fallâ€

    (Goliath) “I see a little bitty shepherd not a man. Are you fools? Are you fools?

    You’re just fueling my anger!

    Am I just a dog? You come at me with rocks and sticks!â€

    Gol-la-liath Gol-la-liath Gol-la-liath Gol-la-liath Gol-la-liath

    Here we go with sticks and stoo oo oones

    (David) “I trust the Lord, but nobody trusts meâ€

    He trusts the Lord but spends his time tending sheep,

    Facing a giant with a stone and a sling.

    (David) “Evil man, you must go. God will strike you down!â€

    (Goliath) “He will not, no! He will not strike me down!â€

    (David) “Yes He willlllllll!â€

    (Goliath)â€He will not. Will not strike me down!â€

    (David) “Yes He will!â€

    (Goliath)â€He will not. Will not strike me down!â€

    (David) “Yes He will!â€

    (Goliath)â€Will not strike me down!â€

    (David) “Yes He will!â€

    (Goliath)â€Will not strike me down!â€

    (David) “Yes He will!â€

    (David) “You’ve had it!â€

    no, no, no, no, no, no, no

    (Goliath) “Come-a here, come-a here, come-a here little boy.

    I’ll give your flesh to the birds of the sky to eat. To eat, to eaaatt, to eaaaaaaaat!â€

    (David) “So you think you can mock the invisible God?

    So you think you’re just fighting a sling and a shot?â€

    Ooooo baby, you ain’t just fighting David,

    You’re fighting God, and He’ll knock you right oughta here.

    Go Dave! Go Dave! Go Dave! Ooo ooo ooo.

    (David)â€Doesn’t really matter, what your size might be.

    God will fight my battles. God will win my battles, for meeeeeâ€

    David will be King soon.

  4. I realize I may be taking a risk posting these guys here. But it's worth it. They call themselves "That Christian Parody Band". Their music is entirely comprised of popular secular (non-Christian) songs, re-done with Christian lyrics. I love 'em.
