Truth in Love
-
From Jonestown to Mecca apostasy means death
False prophets using force to coerce and oppress
They say there’s no compulsion you’re free to leave
But the smell of the Kool-Aid makes it hard to believe
A thousand lashes from the moral thought police
Imprisoned in a cage with no date of release
Political bullies, claiming licentious crimes
Hate on love, blood stoned, red stained Valentines
Our arsenal is love, that's what we're singing about
Love's flame keeps burning long after the sun burns out
'Cause there's no intimidation in love, love
There's no intimidation in love, love
There's no intimidation in love, love
There's no intimidation in love
Domestic violence in the home, church, and mosque
Sacred treatment of women and girls forgone and lost
But when real men love right, you'll find no maltreat
No sick cowards powering over the helpless and the weak
There's no honor in killing, no good in F-G-M
Truth and justice prevails, just deserts in the end
Perfect love cast out fear, so stand up and shout
Yes, love is the answer, so let's get the word on out
Our arsenal is love, that's what we're singing about
Love's flame keeps burning long after the sun burns out
'Cause there's no intimidation in love, love
There's no intimidation in love, love
There's no intimidation in love, love
There's no intimidation in love
Hey! Brothers and sisters let’s all gather round
Put our hands up in the air pray for love in this town
Love rings down from heaven stop and hear the sound
Love is the answer friend sings mountain underground
Our arsenal is love, let's raise our hands and shout
Our arsenal is love (love, love)
Our arsenal is love, that's what we're singing about
Love's flame keeps burning long after the sun burns out
'Cause there's no intimidation in love, love
There's no intimidation in love, love
There's no intimidation in love, love
There's no intimidation in love

See the city lights, and over crowded streets
Escalators on the climb, to the penthouse suites
People parading round, chasing broken dreams
Chasing after bling, and everything that gleams
Feathered hats and golden chains, hot racy boots
Neon earrings, Prada pumps, colored tight leopard suits
Flaunting shades of gold, orange brown and black
Slippery lips smiling smirks, chatter of empty smack
Doctors, lawyers, brokers, mistress’ on two elbows
Chasing diamonds, cars and new bed fellows
No stop signs, want what glitters, if it shines it’s mine
Green lights, and wad, layaway truth for a good time
Wake up every morning to a recurring story
In a blink of the eye it’s gone, puff! transitory
The world theater is the stage of public vanity
The glamour, the lights, exchange a sacred identity
Need another fix to keep ahead of life’s game
With smoke and mirrors dancing with an invisible cane
What’s bad is good, what’s good is tomfoolery
Buffed and chiseled, the epitome of vainglory
Been around the block on this beaten track
Running in circles chasing tails in a wolf pack
Texting homey pictures fantasizing the facts
White mansions and seductive Cracker Jack shacks
Heaven-bound hell-bound, someone's going down, to the devil's hometown
Shootout throw-down, someone come alive, in this fallen ghost town
Heaven-bound hell-bound, someone's going down, to the devil's hometown
Shootout throw-down, someone come alive, in this fallen ghost town
Faded rose tented lens of the mind, gratifying false replica
Drunk on super hero’s kryptonite, glamour pinups in America
False idols, trophy wives, gold medals in the devils playground
Lost pinup’s chasing broken dreams, dead in a fallen ghost town.

'Til the stars align and the moons just right
The earth shakes and the blind see light
Glaciers melt and the wind won’t blow
When the levee breaks the love will flow
Venus to Mars is a long way away
Sharp with the tongue playing mind games
Strong desire puts us to the test
Laws of nature seem to steal our best, intensions
Lovers laughing & holding hands
Hoping it will never end
There’s time to mourn, time to dance
Time to say we had our chance, time passes
The promise of love for you and me
Is something that will never be …
Mama says it’ll be ok
Say's the pain will fade away
Promises act to bind our hearts
Tonight our father's son departs, keep praying
We hope for a day when the tables turn
Find the love we crave and yearn
There’s a time to live and a time to die
A time to laugh, and a time to cry, worlds turning
The promise of love for you and me
Is something that will never be, (no…no…no…no)
The promise of love for you and me
Is something that will never be……
They say you can die from a broken arrow; you can’t fly with a broken wing, when two hearts join together - so do angel wings.
Like a sign from up above
This grand creation, a labor of love
Count the sum of one and one
When two souls join as one, God’s wonder
Rivers of love come streaming down
Splitting cities and dividing towns
We’ll cross that bridge hand in hand
Storm the beach trace our hearts in the sand, in the moonlight
They say you can die from a broken arrow; you can’t fly with a broken wing, when two hearts join together - so do angel wings.
The promise of love for you and me
Is something that will never be
The promise of love for you and me
Is something that will never be…broken!!!

Well I was dancing on the walls with an animated mannequin, as the fly of truth lied dead in his coffin.
Foggy dark minds pleading their own innocence, scratching bloody emotions off their skin of ambivalence.
Invisible white ghost shadowing the eyes of the heart, trusting goats amongst sheep can’t tell them apart.
Blind bat stares down his lost case of identity, death in the mirror with no hope for serenity.
The fly on the wall, can’t hear anything at all
There’s noise in the room, yet it’s dead as a tomb
Lifeless fly on the wall
A faint mute ting echoing, Truth’s silent ring
Come to the table laying nothing down, like a one ring circus with a two bit clown.
Chaos and confusion circling amok, just one more hit, paid with a blood stained buck.
Same old story nothing relevant or new, wipe that dang yawn off your face or I’ll paste one on you.
No jokers allowed amongst this den of thieves, as the stumbling spin doctor plan’s and he weaves.
The fly on the wall, can’t hear anything at all
There’s noise in the room, yet it’s dead as a tomb
Lifeless fly on the wall
A faint mute ting echoing, Truth’s silent ring
As death and destruction creeps and deceives, the voice of truth lies dead in the weeds.
As death and destruction creeps and deceives, the voice of truth blows away with the leaves.
Echoing on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
The fly on the wall, can’t hear anything at all….. Truth’s silent ring
And on and on…On and on, Lifeless fly on the wall echoing

Like a drunk monkey, stung by a bee
Monkey mind fight, put me in a frenzy
Yo-yo thoughts, running from head to toe
Treading on broken glass, in a tightrope show
Laughing spirits, keep steeling my peace
Every corner I turn, they seem to own that street
Over and over, it happens every time
Slipping into patterns, locked up in my mind
In my mind, over & over, over & over, over & over, over and over... , time after time
Over & over, over & over, over & over, over, and over... I slip into patterns locked up in my mind
Illusions on my mind both truth and fiction
Grays skies with black & white contradictions
Thoughts flashing by in a blink of an eye
Skipping past beauty in the cosmic sky
Light my soul with humble introspect
Kindness and truth bound around my neck
Words flying fast, like sparks in a blender
Razors off my tongue, oops I lost my temper
Should I push pause or play, skip or rewind
What to remember and what to leave behind
I’m a simple man, with complex thoughts
Lord help me forget things, I shouldn’t've been taught
Over and over, it happens every time
Slipping into patterns, locked up in my mind
In my mind..., over & over, over & over, over & over and over... time after time
Over & over, over & over, over & over and over... I slip into patterns locked up in my mind
Illusions on my mind both truth and fiction
Grays skies with black & white contradictions
Thoughts flashing by in a blink of an eye
Skipping past beauty in the cosmic sky
Light my soul with humble introspect
Kindness and truth bound around my neck
The Heart of the matter, is a matter of the heart
Heart of the matter, are the desires of the heart
Halt the monkey mind, see the light, let the light shine out the dark

ItemThe gods of this age make a grave gift offering
As long as you close your eyes to the slaughtering
With your eyes closed the mind can go wandering
Wild fantasies suppress man’s suffering
Tempting with gifts that seem lovely and natural
Luring with things powered by the supernatural
This world belongs to him he offers fun and delight
Any natural man surrenders without a fight
The demons lie tell you what’s lovely and good
In the dark, it’s upside down, it’s all misunderstood
But love without the Truth is not love at all
It’s the witch doctors party, the medicine man’s ball
No! No! No! No! I don’t want to dance with the medicine man
Don’t want to be his voodoo doll
No! No! No! No! I don’t want to dance with the medicine man
I don’t want dance at the medicine man’s ball
No horns or tail he comes as a man of peace
Disguised as a doctor, teacher, uncle or niece
His love is a cloak and his favorite talking piece
It’s what makes him so dangerous and hard to police
Using boredom to keep his captives busy at work
A failure of nerve fits the mug of an anxious jerk
He claims we need more of his love to be at peace
So push on with his work or fear that love will cease
The demons lie tell you what’s lovely and good
In the dark, it’s upside down, it’s all misunderstood
But love without the Truth is not love at all
It’s the witch doctors party, the medicine man’s ball
No! No! No! No! don’t want to dance with the medicine man
Don’t want to be his voodoo doll
No! No !No! No! I don’t want to dance with the medicine man
I don’t want dance at the medicine man’s ball
Discernment of the spirits is no easy task
When the angel of light lurks behind a loving mask
Stay in the Word to hear the one true voice
and be sure that your making the right life choice…
‘Cause demons lie tell you what’s lovely and good
In the dark, upside down, it’s all misunderstood
But love without the Truth is not love at all
It’s the witch doctors party, the medicine man’s ball
No! No! No! No! I don’t want to dance with the medicine man
Don’t want to be his voodoo doll
No! No! No! I don’t want to dance with the medicine man
I don’t want dance at the medicine man’s ball
No! No! No! No! I don’t want dance at the medicine man’s ball description

Look in the mirror wonder where I've been
I paint on makeup to cover my sin
As the doorbell rang I answered the phone
Howling at the door leave me alone
Someone's out to get me afraid it's true
At a place of resistance from my angle of view
Snuck out the back door to protect my name
A holy joke no need to explain
Little white lies turning black and blue, little white lies
Playing dumb about the things I knew
Little white lies turning black and blue, little white lies
Be honest with him, he's honest with you
I stretched the truth out until it fit my view
It started out small but it grew and grew
lies move fast before truth can get it's boots on
My song and dance my dance and song
I fudge the facts now and then
I hurt no one don't mean to offend
Small in the mind I meant to be kind
Most of the truth except for one small lie
Little white lies turning black and blue, little white lies
Playing dumb about the things I knew
Little white lies turning black and blue, little white lies
Be honest with him, he's honest with you
I threw myself a party started to lament
Get him off my back can't stand this torment
Holy hound dog caught wind of my scent
Felt the teeth of truth and started to repent
Ask me not and I'll tell you no lies
God hear the noise there's no truth in my cries
The arrow of truth pierced my heart
Christ's aim is true he gave me a new start
Little white lies turning black and blue, little white lies
Playing dumb about the things I knew
Little white lies turning black and blue, little white lies
Be honest with him, he's honest with you
Hey!
Little white lies turning black and blue, little white lies
Playing dumb about the things I know
Little white lies turning black and blue, little white lies
Be honest with him, he's honest with you

The night is long in the face of pain
So I hide Mr. Hyde so not to face the strain
Oh my teeth are white but my eyes aren't so clear
Oh my smile is bright but in my eyes lies fear
So I hide Mr. Hyde inside a well-worn lie
But Dr. Jekyll denies that the truth abides
Kept in bondage and shackles I'm being skinned alive
Oh it's no way to live
It's a hell of a way to die
Oh it's no way to live
It's a hell of a way to die
Oh to die
Two natures waging a war inside of me
Fighting battles of wits both appear so splendidly
Such beautiful angels oh so picturesque
The heart heeds a call but the mind feeds the flesh
A self-identity dichotomy where someone had to die
He was nailed to the cross so our inner man could survive
It's a strange case of Jekyll hiding inside a Hyde
It's no way to live
And it's a hell of a way to die
Oh it's no way to live
It's a hell of a way to die
Oh to die
My soul hides in shadows, where truth and flesh wage war beneath my masks.
Only through the cross can the false self die, so my true self can survive.
Oh it's no way to live
It's a hell of a way to die
Oh it's no way to live
Hiding demons inside a lie
Hiding demons inside a lie

We've been broken we've been fixed
Won some battles and we've taken our licks
House of darkness or shadows of light
Bone yard wasteland or rivers of life
Slow train is coming, around the bend
Who's your conductor foe or friend
We've been up and we've been down
A leap of faith, mountain underground
A soul arrived
A soul arrived
A soul arrived
Keep pressing on no looking back
Soul train a coming down the track
Eyes are on the prize hands on the plow
At the end of the track we'll take our final bow
Float up high or sink down low
No directions stall and never plateau
No soul can arrive until it departs
The ride starts to end before it ever starts
A soul arrived a soul arrived
A soul arrived to the other side
Nobody's getting out of this world alive
When the train hits the gate don't be surprised
Play chance by choice truth or dare
The risk is real what's fair is fair
Blood on the tracks, the risk is real
What's fair is fair
Blood on the tracks yours and mine
Blood on the cross accept or decline
The dead don't repent what's written on their charts
It's there forever solidified in their hearts
A soul arrived a soul arrived
A soul arrived to the other side
Close your eyes and find, the world still spins without ya, world still without ya, the world still spins without ya
Open your eyes and find, a soul arrived to the other side

Forty days under this desert sky
I've grown weak, my mouth is dry
I've been wandering so long
Searching for a deeper well
To save this thirsty soul from hell
And give me the strength I need to keep on
So let the water flow now and wash over me
Lift your hands up to the sky
Let the spirit fill your mind
And let the water flow, let it wash over me
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Praying for the rain to fall
And soak into this barren ground
And bring life out of the ashes
Surely as the waters rise
Rain that falls from sunny skies
Will flood the valleys once again
So let the water flow now and wash over me
Lift your hand up to the sky
Let the spirit fill your mind
And let the water flow, let it wash over me
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Come to the water's edge
Kneel down at the riverbed
And let the water flow, let it wash over me

I'm just a man I am
Tempted by the liar's hand I try so hard to stay in line
But I fall time after time
Stumble down the path that's wide
But I don't want to break my stride there's got to be a better way
To make it through another day
I don't want to walk down that road again
Oh no I
I don't want to walk down that road again
Take my hand
Somebody show me the way, somebody lead me home
'Cause I can't make it on my own
I've got so much further to go
I don't think I can take any more
I've got a hill to climb
More like a mountain but I'm getting closer every day
To the summit I know the way
Temptation threatens me
Bad and good constantly is pulling at me every way
Stay in line try not to stray
I don't want to walk down that road again
Oh no I
I don't want to walk down that road again
Take my hand
Somebody show me the way, somebody lead me home
'Cause I can't make it on my own
I've got so much further to go
I don't think I can take any more
Somebody show me the way, somebody lead me home
Please LORD, show me your Way, lead me home
Please LORD take my hand , Oh LORD please take my hand

As day breaks and shadows flee
Like true colors of a falling leaf
Gone in the autumn wind, is life
A holy sea, a spring of truth
Rushing waters of my youth
Gone in innocence, is love …is love
A falling heart through burning air
Bursting bright like a solar flare
Endless sparks glowing, with love …with love
It’s hard to begin from the end
The Wind is calling me, I come to him
I’m running home, to truth
I’m coming home to love
I’m running home to truth
My friend will always be by me
The love that will never ever deny me
My friend helps me and guides me
The spirit that dwells down deep inside me
My friend rights me and purifies me
The comforter that cleanses and sanctifies me
My friend that's called the Spirit of, Truth
There’s a voice that we can trust
A still small voice that’s guiding us
From the lost road, of life
A whispering voice calms and sooths
Healing pain and every bruise
Embraced in his arms, safe in love…in love
A blind world that cannot see
Eyes that dwell so deep in me
True to his Word, locked in love …in love
The Holy Spirit calms my fears
Asking, what I’m doing here
Running home at last, to truth
I’m coming home to love
I’m running home to truth
My friend will always be by me
The love that will never ever deny me
My friend helps me and guides me
The spirit that dwells down deep inside me
My friend rights me and purifies me
The comforter that cleanses and sanctifies me
My friend that's called the Spirit of, Truth
…My friend

Keep love strong Keep on holding on
Time passes on Love-on, on & on
The hand of time stops at life's door and knocks
In the still of the night you hold me tight
In silence we dance to the heart beat of your song
Till the air has left, till the last breath is gone
Keep love strong Keep on holding on
Time passes on Love-on, on & on
There’s a room where pain goes to die
A sea of endless stars in a far away sky
I'll hear you laugh, I'll see your smile again
I'll hear your voice we'll dance without end
Keep love strong Keep on holding on
Time passes on Love-on, on & on
Keep love strong Keep on holding on
Time passes on
Love-on, on and on,
on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on
Keep love strong,
Love on, LaVonne

Won some battles and we've taken our licks
House of darkness or shadows of light
Bone yard wasteland or rivers of life
Slow train is coming, around the bend
Who’s your conductor , foe or friend?
We’ve been up and we've been down
A leap of faith, mountain underground
A Soul...Arrived
A Soul... Arrived
Keep pressing on , no looking back
Soul train a coming, down the track
Eyes are on the prize hands on the plow
At the end of the
track , we’ll take our final bow
Float up high, or sink down low
No directions stall and never plateau
No soul can arrive until it depart s
The ride starts to end, before it

A Soul...Arrived A Soul Arrived
A soul arrived to the other side
Nobody's getting out
Of this world alive
When the train hits the gate
Don't be surprised
Play chance by choice
Truth or dare
The risk is real
What's fair is fair
Blood on the tracks
The risk is real
What's fair is fair
Blood on the tracks
Yours and mine
Blood on the cross
Accept or decline
The dead don't repent
What's written on their charts
It's there forever
Solidified in their hearts
A Soul...Arrived A Soul Arrived
a soul arrived to the other side
Close your eyes and find, the world still spins without ya world still spins without ya
The world still spins without ya, open your eyes and find…… A soul arrived... to the other side....

You can stomp your feet, and shake your fist (whoa)
Take your best shot, swing and miss
Fuss and moan, all you want
But we’re trotting our feet, to the victory romp
You can sit on your hands, or slap your knee
Snap fingers tap toes, hold your breath or breathe
It’s your choice, do what you want
But we’re trotting our feet, to the victory romp
You can whisper secrets, wink an eye
Spread nasty rumors, make up lies
Drug through the mud, left dead in a swamp
Still my hearts kicking beats, to the victory romp
I’ve crashed through jungles, of mad love affairs
I’ve Rode the wild beast, through dark alleys of despair
I’ve been tormented, torn, beat up and battered
Rejected misunderstood, defeated and shattered
Now the chains are broke, an innocent Lamb was slain
The dragon is crushed he’ll never drag me down again
Welcome to a new day, where the serpent has been stomped
Come all who are weary, rise up to the victory romp
We’re trotting our feet… we’re trotting our feet
We’re trotting our feet… we’re trotting our feet
Come on all who are weary
We’re trotting our feet… we’re trotting our feet
Yea we’re trotting our feet to the victory romp
We're trotting our feet, we're trotting our feet
We're trotting our feet, we're trotting our feet
Come on all who are weary
Rise up to the victory romp
We're trotting our feet, we're trotting our feet
Yeah, we're dancing to the Kingdom Stomp
And we're trotting our feet, we're trotting our feet
Yeah, to the victory romp

Don’t want to be a yin-yin; don’t have a feminine side
A manly man loves babies; stands up to protect his bride
Stand in arms together; protect our neighborhood
Patriarchy of the ages; bands of brotherhood
Born like an animal, to act naturally
Sparking supernatural, inside of me
On the shores of hope; the land of the free
Brave mountains of men; sons of thunder; sons of thunder
On the shores of hope; hand of liberty
Brave mountains of men; sons of thunder... Boanerges
Soldiers of a dying breed; Heavenly Father’s sons
Called to a higher truth; defending old and young
Soar past mounting odds; overcome fear and dread
Godly men roar on; where fools fear to tread
Skies of mighty fire flashing, sparks of lightning
Truth, honor, vigor, for His light we gleam
On the shores of hope;
the land of the free;
Brave mountains of men;
sons of thunder; sons of thunder
On the shores of hope; marching gallantly
Brave mountains of men; sons of thunder... Boanerges

Early with the morning doves
Late with the nightingales
These carefree days blow by,
with the wind tinkling through my sails
Early with the morning doves
Singing with the nightingales
Free as the birds of the air,
with the wind whispering through their tails
Looking at the morning sky
Gonna hold my head up high
With the warmth of the sun on me
Skipping rocks and feeling free
With my lunch pale and fishing pole
In bare feet I'm ready set to go
Through the woods and down the hill
I know those fish are biting still
Don't worry about tomorrow it will take care of itself, yes it will
Lord knows He keeps His promise, yes He does
Carefree, don't worry about tomorrow
Carefree, it will take care of itself ....,
yes it will,
Carefree, Lord knows He keeps His promise...,
yes He does,
oh so carefree now
On a supernatural high
Colors bright as the Fourth of July
Hooting like an old barn owl
Offering fun and having a ball
Pools from heaven's star burst
Diving into life head first
Smiling face from ear to ear
Clean conscience eternally secure
Don't worry about tomorrow it will take care of itself, yes it will
Lord knows He keeps His promise, yes He does
Carefree, don't worry about tomorrow
Carefree, it will take care of itself ....,
yes it will,
Carefree, Lord knows He keeps His promise...,
yes He does,
oh so carefree now
I know what I'm going to do
Today tomorrow and forever too
Forever and a day
In a world with no decay
All my sins are washed away
Things are much better than okay
With a mansion built for me
I know where I'll be eternally
Don't worry about tomorrow it will take care of itself, yes it will
Lord knows He keeps His promise, yes He does
Don't worry about tomorrow it will take care of itself, yes it will
Lord knows He keeps His promise, yes He does
Carefree, don't worry about tomorrow
Carefree, it will take care of itself ....,
yes it will,
Carefree, Lord knows He keeps His promise...,
yes He does,
oh so carefree now
Oooh, oooh, oooh. oh yea
free as the birds of the air
with the wind whispering through their tails
Oooh, oooh, oooh. oh yea
Thank you every one for listening, This is Mountain Underground signing out, until next time, be free, and take care.
Oooh, oooh, oooh. oh yea
