Knock three times at the temple gate They told me what I was supposed to forget The bell sounds, ringing in the wind Telling me time that has come beginning and end Oh oh Fire and the Wheel They come to borrow and they come to steal Oh oh The choice we make We come to heaven and we come to pray Gone have generations before Legacies left, hated and adored Knock three times the devil said Or was it the angels singing “Go, forge ahead” Oh oh Fire and the Wheel They come to borrow and they come to steal Oh oh The choice we make We come to heaven and we come to pray For good or ill, this life I have found One brick in a pattern forever moving ‘round For love, I seek, my heart remains open Though I have born pain, will I always feel broken? Oh oh Fire and the Wheel They come to borrow and they come to steal Oh oh The choice we make We come to heaven and we come to pray To this long slow trek through an unmapped land I am hurriedly born, blank book in hand Tracking its lessons, patient to be clear My steps become careful, with each print I lay down one fear Oh oh Fire and the Wheel They come to borrow and they come to steal Oh oh The choice we make We come to heaven and we come to pray Oh oh Fire and the Wheel They come to borrow and they come to steal Oh oh The choice we make We come to heaven and we come to pray Come to Pray

I think I hear a sound Trampling the ground Look at all those guns Everybody run I think I hear a sound Trampling the ground Look at all those guns Everybody run I run away suddenly there's dust and smoke and chaos everywhere They've got us in the open and they don't seem to care They're cutting us in half Who's gonna raise the calves Don't they understand Our kids can barely stand And we all wonder why As we look up at the sky Laying all around Across the bloody ground I run away You left us dying here On this Trail of Tears Rotting in the sun I hope you had your fun Let's see how long you last with me No bullets at your side Try to run. Try to hide You know you're gonna die Let's see how long you last with me No bullets at your side Try to run. Try to hide You know you're gonna die You took it all away. Why? And what were the horses thinking? Why didn't they try to help us?

about

A year has passed since the first compilation in this series was released. This second volume features new artists, as well as contributions from some featured on volume one. From France to California, England to West Virginia, these bands were selected from around the world, because they express a vast range of sound, reflecting their influences. For me, this compilation represents creative freedom, artists breaking down the walls of traditional genres, and resisting the impediments of commercial publishing. As a DJ on WoodyRadio.com, I have been fortunate enough to feature many new independent artists, each with unique interpretations. Playing classic post-punk & alternative rock alongside this new generation highlights their influences and displays artistic evolution at work. Independent artists united together to produce something new - something post-alternative.
