While swimming in the river, I,
saw a bloated corpse float by.
Just then he opened up his eyes,
and said he swam, for exercise.

While riding through the woods one day,
the glorious Banner Knight,
met a mighty man at arms,
who challenged him to fight.

Andrew, Andrew, my beautiful boy!
Andrew, Andrew, my pride and joy!
Andrew, Andrew, where have you gone?
Why, oh why, have you left me so alone?

It's been going on for so long
The war
But It'll be over soon
I'm the last man left alive

You are not hated for your skin color.
Your skin color, whether red, white, black, brown, or yellow, is one of your most beautiful features.
It is your behavior that brings hate.

The anvil is a mighty thing, blows rain upon his back,
And though the hammers pound away, anvil can't strike back.
Anvil isn't worried, He's seen hammers break, one by one,

One ounce when you came into life
One ounce cut by the knife
One ounce eaten up raw

Death
I'd appreciate the angel more
If she'd stolen the memory with the man.
I can just see-
No distant glares at our places;
The pallisades and tennis courts,
The road at 3 AM.
No blood drawn lip at pictures,
No pounding on the mirror.
A shadow space of air at every anger...
A look-away at every laugh...
In place of memory, a sunlit lake-
A time I stood in thought...
With no idea of what was lost forever.
