The Black Moon Of Saturn / RM Isaiah With one hand we make What the other will destroy We’re guarding the garden And always obey You say we’ll return To the black moon of Saturn someday With one hand we make What the other will destroy We’re guarding the garden And always obey They say we’ll return To the black moon of Saturn someday

Man And Beast / RM Isaiah I saw the morning star buying supplies With my own two eyes He looked into my soul And he sighed I had a vision of a prison guard Holding a credit card He whispered in my ear “We’re always here” It used to be I’d hold my peace I’m losing my faith in man and beast Someday soon we all will see We’ll stand and stare..in disbelief Jesus, he was packing a bag, He’s leaving Smoking like A broken machine It used to be I’d hold my peace I’m losing my faith in man and beast Someday soon we all will see We’ll stand and stare..in disbelief Banging on an old guitar Howling away in the moonlight I looked up to see a falling star Turn night to day It used to be I’d hold my peace I’m losing my faith in man and beast Someday soon we all will see We’ll stand and stare..in disbelief

Gone Beyond 04:21
Gone Beyond/ RM Isaiah Now I think I got your number Six hundred sixty six I saw you sling it over your shoulder You've got a big bag of tricks I've been born and died at least a Thousand times, and I Been burnt by better than you All the skin I shed, and all The blood I bled, I survived by Having nothing to lose I've gone beyond, I've been within, I've done some good, I've done some sin You're busy building the grand illusion You got the trowel and the bricks There's no replacing the time we've Wasted, buying into the myth I've gone beyond, I've been within, I've done some good, I've done some sin I've seen the way you writhe and slither, Behind the blind and the sick, Now you're al coiled up in the corner Waiting to strike and constrict I've gone beyond, I've been within, I've done some good, I've done some sin I have seen your kind about a Thousand times, and I know now who you symbolize I've come face to face with Many venomous snakes, and I have seen the same in their eyes

Beauty To Burn / RM Isaiah You got beauty to burn, I got nowhere to be It’s a matter of time Until you’re turning on me You have nothing to hide And it’s something to see I’m along for the ride, Honey, you’re growing on me I got something in mind, If you’re willing to learn, It requires a fire, You’ve got beauty to burn You’re taking your time, I’m waiting my turn Desire’s a fire You’ve got beauty to burn And you got beauty to burn There’s nowhere to go We’ll follow the stars, It’s a matter of time, ‘Till they know who we are

The Pattern 03:16
The Pattern / RM Isaiah Out on the strange, Dark highway home It's hard to see the signs Broken hearts on broken bones It's a long, cold shadow's fall As the lightning, So the thunder All that matters Is the pattern There's a gentle, falling rain The kind a fire can survive The future's gone on holiday The past is far behind As the lightning, So the thunder All that matters Is the pattern
6.
Mission Creep / RM Isaiah The halftime show is over Still the stone rolls on The green one,he had a handgun, So now he's dead and gone Out on 'ole highway 33 His majesty, he died tragically Kill the killer then the step is steep Usher in the mission creep Jack, he was barely even there Next thing, he's breaking down the door When he's on a roll, he's Playing the part he was born for Out on 'ole highway 33 His majesty, he died tragically Kill the killer then the step is steep Usher in the mission creep Poor John, he's going on and on About the Third World War Hiding under covers Reading 1984 Out on 'ole highway 33 His majesty, he died tragically Kill the killer then the step is steep Usher in the mission creep
7.
Borrowed Time / RM Isaiah No moon tonight, To light my way, No open flames In this pouring rain My tired eyes, They barely see No cover under These leafless trees CHORUS: I’ll get to you somehow, Or die on my way, Cause I’ll never leave you ‘Till my dying day Remember me kindly Whenever I go, Cause lord knows I’m on borrowed time I’m on borrowed time No shadows fall, A sunless spring, The old crow king, He spreads his wings Out here where The dead live on And souls are sold For fortunes told CHORUS Where I’ve been And all I’ve done Who I am I have become I kept my word I’ve done my time I gave my blood, For you, my love CHORUS
8.
Day Of The Dead / RM Isaiah It’s the day of the dead, who are rising To the call of an empire falling It’s in blood that this history’s written Off your knees, we will not be forgiven The day of the dead It’s the dawn of the dead, who are living In the shade of an empire dying It’s in blood that these laws were all written Step on serpents, you’re bound to get bitten The day of the dead It’s the night of the dead, who have risen To the side of an empire fallen It’s in blood that this story was written Off your knees, we will not be forgiven
9.
Russian Dolls / RM Isaiah When, it never mattered more than now Who don’t make a difference anyhow Watch over my body while I’m gone I’ll tell you what I learn when I return Call it all another place and time Like russian dolls, designed With space in mind The hunter shows no mercy for the prey, Cold blood, it’s the special of the day The devil’s on the dark side of the moon He’s holding up a sign, saying “number nine” Call it all another place and time, Like russian dolls, designed With space in mind Call it all another place and time Like russian dolls, designed With space in mind
10.
Playing With Fire / RM Isaiah Built a house of cards I had a hand from summoned sources, Here before, and evermore Sitting there I’d wait As they would take their shape, Beckoning the angels ‘till the dawn My mother, she’s been praying for me, Cause I’m playing with fire All that it takes to start Is a spark in the dark Dressed for resurrection, From the depths of my reflection, I climb the golden ladder to the light Stacking sacred stones, By the dimensions I was given, Spoke in graven tones all through the night My mother, she’s been praying for me, Cause I’m playing with fire All that it takes to start Is a spark in the dark (2x) To visions I was witness, A scaffolding was risen, Made of the last thing I’d believe It was made of the last thing I believed

Devil's Door 03:51
Devil's Door /RM Isaiah 2016 Screams they filled the wilderness, The ground began to groan The sky replied with lightning, like Electric serpents striking those below I was a witness To the blood and the gore High as I can climb, I couldn't see anymore Caduceus in hand Hexagram in the sand The seal has been broken, They're coming through the devil's door Darkness filled the wilderness The living tried to hide, Leaving the weakest behind them, like Dying serpents writhing there below There is a garden In the middle of nowhere I followed the voices They were calling my name And deep in the trees I found the stairs to the stars But before I go, Maybe one for the road
