WHITE SLAVE
A Kiss thru a Vale 5.24
(Words and music by PAJessep)
Stranger, in a strange land
I'm a stranger,
in a strange land.
No home, no country
Just a stranger,
just a stranger in a strange land,
Wasted tears, will not bring me to your shore
Like a prophet without faith
A scholar without knowledge
I cry to the sea, I cry to the sea
(I can't hear it, see it, I can't hear it, see it)

Broken Hands 5.24
(Words and music by PAJessep)
(vocal layers)
(middle)
Broken hands
that held your face
that touched your lips
that traced a line across your lips
that built a life
that created art
to lift the spirit
....now.....
with these hands....
(vocal layers)
It's all useless now
they don't work no more
(vocal layers)

Ephelides 4.12
(Words and music by PAJessep)
See that girl, up at her window
Look at how her titian locks flow
Captured breath,
heavens death,
I am in love
Curls unfold as I stare
Autumn gold paints her hair
Imagine her right by my side
Imagine her dressed as my bride
I would make our home
I would never feel alone
Autumn gold paints her hair
Autumn gold paints her hair
Autumn gold paints her hair
Autumn gold paints her hair
I've never met in my lifetime
someone just like her
She's not there
She's not there.....

Something 3.42
(Words and music by PAJessep)
Something in my heart, broken
Something in my heart, awoken
Open wounds keep weeping
bind the hurt inside
Break the bands and start living
Take the hands I am giving
We can hear the wind call
Something in your eyes, calls me
Something in your eyes, enthralls me
Fortune smiles upon me
Cures the hurt inside
Offered palm will conceal me,
proffered balm that will heal me
We can watch the rain fall, fall
Seems that I found you
Traversed the world and time
Someone who understands me
Someone who will be mine
We can see the snow fall

Ghosts and Empty Vessels 4.30
(Words and music by PAJessep)
The pitcher is dry,
the repast consumed
There's nothing more left,
spirit entombed
Self respect - implied
Moral hell, when denied
I've walked through horrors,
torture of mind
Where do I go,
where will my head recline?
Once, I ran
I felt the rain upon my face
Child to man
Future there to embrace and
I knew fear and doubt
I faced it all throughout
When did it change?
Where did it all go wrong?
Virtuous heart and a sound mind
Took a path, totally unsigned
And I walked through horrors,
squarely maligned
Where do I go,
where will my head recline?
Once, I ran
I felt the rain upon my face
Child to man
Future there to embrace and
I knew fear and doubt
I faced it all throughout
Take me to that place, sans pain
Think I want to start, again
But I hold on tight
through the night
When do I go,
when will my head recline...
recline... recline?

Sally Bray 4.58
(Words and music by PAJessep)
Oh Sally Bray
I don't know what to say
You took the kids from school
Just another day
Oh Sally Bray
You took the kids to play
But the man in the playground
had something else to say
An attempted kiss
Followed with a fist,
Took a mother from her children
What makes a man do this?
Oh Sally Bray
Things will come what may
He dragged you through the car park
And he took you away
Oh Sally Bray
You shouldn't have left that day
Children are abandonned,
where your body lay
And some time will tell
When your body fell
Lifetime in the jailhouse
He'll spend his life in hell
Oh Sally Bray
There'll be a price to pay
Your children are left crying,
its just another day
For Sally Bray
Oh Sally Bray
I don't know what to say
You took the kids from school
Just another day
(middle)
I saw you leave that day
'cos I walk to work that way
Maybe if we'd talked a while
I might have seen that smile again...
(instrumental)

Motherless Nobody 4.36
( trad.arr.)
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child (x3)
A long way from home
True believer, a long way from home
Nobody knows, motherless child
Way up to that heavenly land
Way up to that heavenly land
Nobody know the trouble I see
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody know the trouble I've seen
Glory hallelujah
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Sometimes I'm almost to the ground
and I'm almost gone, Lord
What makes old Satan hate me so?
Oh yes Lord
Because he got me once and let go
Oh yes Lord
Nobody know the trouble I see
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody know the trouble I've seen
Glory hallelujah (x4)

Your Time will Come 3.57
(Words and music by PAJessep)
When people put the hex on
when people put you down
Another passing comment
Well you know things come around
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
(electronic voices)

Man with his Arms by his Side 4.00
(Words and music by PAJessep)
Who'd have thought
that the man I was
could be crushed
by the weight of his circumstance?
And if you'd had said,
that the man I was,
could sit alone
with his head in his useless hands.
And I'm caught and locked in my cell,
I can't recall how I fell;
Oh Lord
Placed the founding blocks of love
that built a life housing best endeavors
Worked to yield fruits of honest labor
Traded in the currency of hope
But fate just barked out its command
and I had played out both my hands
What on earth could I do?
I'm just like a man
Arms strapped to his side
So trapped and tired
so sapped of pride..pride.. pride..
(instrumental)
Caught and locked in my cell
I can't recall how I fell;
Oh Lord

The Forsaken 4.09
(Words and music by PAJessep)
Lost
And could not find my way
I looked around me
And when,
You wiped my tears away
I looked into me
And then,
You filled my heart that day
I was so happy
And when,
You took my heart away
I thought of heaven
And since
I've searched for You each day
I just can't find You
I thought
This journey was for life
I just can't find You
Forsaken, forsaken,
forsaken, forsaken (x4)
...I was once alive.

Unaccountable (Hey Mr Banker) 4.00
(words and music by PAJessep)
Speculating, calculating (x4)
You've stolen from the people
Now you wanna keep it all (x2)
Unaccountable (x3)
Unaccountable for your actions
Playing lives
Slaying lives
Spreading lies
Hey Mr. Banker,
I've got your number,
your payment is overdue
Hey Mr. Banker,
Wake up from your slumber
there's someone left to screw
Why do you feed the greed?
How do you sleep at night?
Night, night, night, night.....

The Third Temple (pt1) 3.33
(Prose and music by PAJessep)
(Instrumental)
Curses riven, battles driven,
clouds of smoke and sulphur risen
The Seat of Hellfire
The Third Temple
Home of the Devil's Whore
Sitting at the throne
sucking in humanity
and the evil that men do
Sweeping across the night,
bared fanged teeth,
tearing skin and bone,
feeding it's belly with living flesh
Convulsing, vomiting, spitting bile
on the ignorant and
those who will not see.
