Influences: Revolutionary music Sunshine music Reggae music Jazz music Hip-hop music Acoustic music Morning Soul Alternative diction Freedom music Groove music Natural mystic Burn flags from naked lands
Sounds Like: A soldier without a gun. A writer without a pen. A storm without rain.
A preacher without the book. A river without a bed. A house without a door.
A road without end. A mountain which never peaks. A sky without a star.

An angel who never speaks.
A speck of sand. A touch of blood. A warmth of lilt. A harp, a spur.
A letter opened, read once -- burned.

A piece of flesh. A hoping conduit. A dawn of flight, a breach of height.
A stern of bow, a race of heart. A troupe of colour, a dawn of night.
A yearning swoop, a freefall catch.

A peace of life. A life of peace. A love of wonder. Of wonder. Of life.

THIS BE THA WORLD
release the dam. smash off the catch.
unfurl the deluge.
step aside. look them in the eye. say no.
pressurise the fools. cut them loose to their spoils.
spit out the inflection.
cough up the word.
we were frozen amid a torrent of noise.
silenced with the shock of the world.
no more.
let the storm breach. hurl the planets out.
give us room to speak.
give us tongue to speak.
we be shifting shape revealing
where we go we don't know but how we get there
we can choose.
Record Label: Burn label, give label away to fans
Type of Label: None
