cardinal sin(Arnold Melleby, 01.23.2021)

 just like the city

the city without angels

it`s the thunder

that makes me speak

in spite of the lack of rain

there`s still pain 


so, give me a story

that I`ll remember

for the rest of my life

sign it with sleazy

leather tongue

just to seal the deal


you surfed down a landslide of mud

into my life

too many moons ago

but you sure as hell

made it worth remembering

even for an emty scull


just like you once said

you`re better off wandering 

to a destination unknown

than wandering off

into the nothingness

of a future without a past







you can`t steal the heart of Texas(Arnold Melleby, 01.23.2021)

halos over heads 

where to trade tails again

I don`t know

the winds will keep on blowing

anyway


the sun`s shining

but you can`t let her touch you

the moon`s shining too

she`s off as well

gotta stay inside 


these times

teaching the world a lesson

freedom ain`t free

and will never be

unless you know how to live it


no matter what happens

and no matter what doesn`t

you can`t steel the heart of Texas


she`ll help you reach

but you gotta grab it yourself

looking to your left

there`s always a right

just like Texas 

she`ll always be there

for you


no matter what happens

and no matter what doesn`t

you can`t steel the heart of Texas


she`ll help you reach

but you gotta grab it yourself

looking to your left

there`s always a right

just like Texas 

she`ll always be there

for you


no matter what happens

and no matter what doesn`t

you can`t steel the heart of Texas

the lone wolf and the smitherined(Arnold Melleby, 01.09.2021)

the lone wolf used to fly an airplane

granted by his followers below

who threw money on a shadow

turning tricks to please a crowd

to a vision doomed 

and a tail trailed with rivers 

too deep to cross


it all had to come to an end

as evil aimed and pulled the trigger

what happened next

history will tell the ones

the come after us

the story of a broken cowboy

with no horse to ride


the lone wolf and the smitherined

had nowhere else to go

but what a show they put on

although no one asked them to

they had it going

for too long


sing hallelujah for sanity

sing hallelujah against the insanity

that covered the land like a plague

a turkey flying low

defeathered and bewildered 

it just couldn`t end any other way


the lone wolf and the smitherined

had nowhere else to go

but what a show they put on

although no one asked them to

they had it going

for too long


the lone wolf and the smitherined

had nowhere else to go

but what a show they put on

although no one asked them to

they had it going

for too long


the lone wolf and the smitherined 

will never fly again
