Jimi Hendrix - Castles Made Of Sand

[video=youtube;tW6zM5hZvlQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW6zM5hZvlQ[/video]

Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face,
And now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip and drool.

He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green.

And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually.

A little Indian brave who before he was ten, played war games in
the woods with his Indian friends, and he built a dream that when he
grew up, he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief.

Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song,
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong,
Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night.

And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually.

There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown,
Because she was crippled for life, and couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living, so she decided to die.
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled
"You won't hurt me no more."
But then a sight she'd never seen made her JUMP AND SAY
"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop...it just kept on going.

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea,
Eventually

Matthew 7

The Two Foundations

[SUP]24 [/SUP]“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and [SUP][a][/SUP]acts on them, [SUP][b][/SUP]may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. [SUP]25 [/SUP]And the rain fell, and the [SUP][c][/SUP]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. [SUP]26 [/SUP]Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not [SUP][d][/SUP]act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. [SUP]27 [/SUP]The rain fell, and the [SUP][e][/SUP]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”

Something's wrong in this House today
While the Master was riding the Servants decided to play
Something's wrong in this House today
Something's been going on there may be a price to pay.

There's evil brewing, getting out of control
And I'm helpless I can't put it right
Something unrighteous is possessing my soul
And it's cold in the heat of the night

Something's wrong in this House today
While the Sorcerer slept the Apprentice decided to play

While the Master was hiding the Servants decided to play
Might be too much Sun or too much of something in the Air
Whatever's happening nobody else is aware

There's evil brewing, getting out of control
And I'm helpless I can't put it right
Something unrighteous is possessing my soul
And it's cold in the heat of the night

Something's wrong in this House today
Something's been going on there may be a price to pay.


Matthew 21:33-46

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Parable of the Landowner

[SUP]33 [/SUP]“Listen to another parable. There was a [SUP][a][/SUP]landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to [SUP][b][/SUP]vine-growers and went on a journey. [SUP]34 [/SUP]When the [SUP][c][/SUP]harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce. [SUP]35 [/SUP]The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third. [SUP]36 [/SUP]Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them. [SUP]37 [/SUP]But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ [SUP]38 [/SUP]But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ [SUP]39 [/SUP]They took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. [SUP]40 [/SUP]Therefore when the [SUP][d][/SUP]owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?” [SUP]41 [/SUP]They *said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”
[SUP]42 [/SUP]Jesus *said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,

‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;
This came about from the Lord,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

[SUP]43 [/SUP]Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a [SUP][e][/SUP]people, producing the fruit of it. [SUP]44 [/SUP]And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”
[SUP]
45 [/SUP]When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them. [SUP]46 [/SUP]When they sought to seize Him, they feared the [SUP][f][/SUP]people, because they considered Him to be a prophet.

The Alan Parsons Project - Sirius / Eye In The Sky

[video=youtube;qlICnM46uDw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlICnM46uDw[/video]

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking...

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

[CHORUS]

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry 'cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Man of Lawlessness

2 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the [SUP][a][/SUP]coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, [SUP]2 [/SUP]that you not be quickly shaken from your [SUP][b][/SUP]composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a [SUP][c][/SUP]message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. [SUP]3 [/SUP]Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the [SUP][d][/SUP]apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, [SUP]4 [/SUP]who opposes and exalts himself above [SUP][e][/SUP]every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

Job 1:7
The Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.”

He is like a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.

The Alan Parsons Project - Some Other Time

[video=youtube;xuEQqeUvIBo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuEQqeUvIBo[/video]

In the matter of a moment
Lost till the end of time,
It's the evening of another day
And the end of mine.

Now the starlight which has found me
Lost for a million years
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes
Till it disappears.

Could it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind?

Some other place,
Somewhere,
Some other time.

Some other place,
Somewhere,
Some other time...

Like a mirror held before me
Large as the sky is wide...
And the image is reflected
Back to the other side.

Could it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind?

Some other place,
Somewhere,
Some other time.

Some other place,
Somewhere,
Some other time...

Job 34:21
“For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, And He sees all his steps.

The Alan Parsons Project - Light Of The World

[video=youtube;99o7omh_Yqk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99o7omh_Yqk[/video]

I am just a stranger, in a promised land
I am only learning a game with the rules I don't understand
Going round in circles, I've been round before
I am lost in so many ways
I can walk no more
I can walk no more

I am just a drifter, in an open sea
But no matter how much I try, the tide will not turn for me
Going round in circles, till I reach the shore
I am blown by so many winds
I can take no more
I can take no more

Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

I am just a dreamer, when I close my eyes
I can fly so close to the sun, that I can not see it rise
Going round in circles, in a silent sky
I am lost for so many words
I can not say why
I can not say why

Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

Just a traveller, on an endless flight
But no matter which way I turn, I journey into the night
Going round in circles, till the mountains fall
To believe in so many truths
Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense at all

Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
I was afraid, cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

John 12:46
I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

Romans 3:3
What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?

Peter Gabriel - The Barry Williams Show

[video=youtube;gxow3dobJm8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxow3dobJm8[/video]

Let's go

One man at the window
One girl at the bar
Saw that look of recognition
When they know just who you are
I seen you on the TV
I seen you on that show
You make the people crazy
And then you let them go

Before the show we calm them
We sympathize, we care
And the hostile folk we keep apart
'til the red light says 'on air'
Did you see our leather lovers
All tied up to the chair
Did you catch those child molesters
No one else goes there

What a show, the Barry Williams show
What a show,
Dysfunctional excess
Is all it took for my success
The greater pain that they endure
The more you know the show will score
It's showtime

Got the reputation of a surgeon
'cos they cannot feel the cut
It looks so very simple
But it really is an art
They call our studio 'the hospital'
Making money from the sick
We let people be themselves
There is no other trick

'my lover stole my girlfriend'
'I keep beating up my ex'
'I want to kill my neighbour'
'my daughter's selling sex'
'my s/m lover hurt me'
'my girl became a man'
'I love my daughter's rapist'
'my life's gone down the pan'

What a show, the Barry Williams show
The Barry Williams show
Dysfunctional excess
Is all it took for my success
And when the punches start to fly
The ratings always read so high

The best TV you've ever seen
Where people say the things that they really mean
I hear my name, I hear them roar
For the one more time I take the floor
Just one more Barry Williams show
We're gonna take you where you want to go
It's showtime

'that girl has got no scruples'
Not a wrinkle on her face
You would not believe the plot she conceived
So they'd let her take my place
Well, no man is an island
No man is a sea
But this display of emotion
Is all but drowning me

What a show, oh what a show
On my show, the Barry Williams show
It's my show
What a show
Dysfunctional excess
Is all it took for my success

Come on down
Come on down

Matthew 25:31-46

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Judgment

[SUP]31 [/SUP]“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. [SUP]32 [/SUP]All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; [SUP]33 [/SUP]and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.
[SUP]
34 [/SUP]“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [SUP]35 [/SUP]For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; [SUP]36 [/SUP]naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ [SUP]37 [/SUP]Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? [SUP]38 [/SUP]And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? [SUP]39 [/SUP]When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ [SUP]40 [/SUP]The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
[SUP]
41 [/SUP]“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; [SUP]42 [/SUP]for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; [SUP]43 [/SUP]I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ [SUP]44 [/SUP]Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not [SUP][a][/SUP]take care of You?’ [SUP]45 [/SUP]Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ [SUP]46 [/SUP]These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

[SUP]14 [/SUP]Do not be [SUP][a][/SUP]bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? [SUP]15 [/SUP]Or what harmony has Christ with [SUP][b][/SUP]Belial, or [SUP][c][/SUP]what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? [SUP]16 [/SUP]Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,

“I will dwell in them and walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]“Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]“And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty.

Peter Gabriel - Down the Dolce Vita / Here Comes The Flood

[video=youtube;xxTriqANoK8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxTriqANoK8[/video]

"Hey Mac, see you down the Dolce Vita!"
"Get back, we don't have time
'cause I hear we're sending off the heroes
When the year goes, they're out of the bay,
Trying to find a way
To make it alive"

"So long," said poor men to their families,
"Be strong 'til we get back home.
And if not, take care of all the children
Until then just hope and pray
We're gonna find a way
To make it alive"

"You guys are crazy"

They shout and then we leave the harbor.
In doubt, they're acting weird
And the sea is whipping up a welcome
If hell come we're all easy prey,
Trying to find a way
To make it alive

"You guys are crazy"

The captain's hand shook for the guys to get in place
He said, "Let's look behind your face."
With each corner covered, they were all around
Waiting for the midnight bell to sound

"Out of sight," cried Aeron through his glasses
"Don't fight," said Gorham's smile
All the while, his hand was on my shoulder
I was scared of being an easy prey
Trying to find a way
to make it alive



When the night shows
The signals grow on radios
All the strange things
They come and go, as early warnings
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
There's no point in direction
We cannot even choose a side.

I took the old track
The hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
They were getting older, sons and daughters
The jaded underworld was riding high
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
And as the nail sunk in the cloud,
The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.

Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
In any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

When the flood calls
You have no home, you have no walls
In the thunder crash
You're a thousand minds, within a flash
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see
The actors gone, there's only you and me
And if we break before the dawn,
They'll use up what we used to be.

Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
In any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

Peter Gabriel - Growing Up

[video=youtube;Kh80jJNgRrY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh80jJNgRrY[/video]

Folded in your fleshy purse
I am floating once again
While the muted sounds are pumping rhythm
All the walls close in on me
Pressure's building wave on wave
'til the water breaks - and outside I go, oh

One dot, that's on or off, defines what is and what is not, one dot
Two dot, a pair of eyes, a voice, a touch, complete surprise, two dot

Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live

My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space

Three dot, a trinity, a way to map the universe, three dot
Four dot, is what will make a square, a bed to build on, it's all there, four dot

My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space

All the slow clouds pass us by
Make the Empire State look high
As you take me in your sea-stained sweetness
It spills, it tingles and it stings
All the pleasure that it brings
'til the door has let the outside inside here

Well on the floor there's a long wooden table
On the table there's an open book
On the page there's a detailed drawing
And on the drawing is the name I took

My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space

Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live

My ghost likes to travel
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space

The breathing stops, I don't know when
In transition once again
Such a struggle getting through these changes
And it all seems so absurd
To be flying like a bird
When I do not feel I've really landed here
