HALF HOLLOW HILL
Written by Justin Burrill (Crabble Duro, BMI)
© 1987 all rights reserved
From the half hollow hill resounds a silence
We can't turn our backs
because our blood runs black
just like the veins in the hill
just like our father's did
And we'll always fight
because it's it's like something that's owed
it's like birthright
From the half hollow hill there sounds a siren
The creep of change, the march of time, progresses restless sweep
can's brush us aside
And we'll always fight
like any good side
Just like The United we will stand
From the half hollow hill the cry goes out
goes out as mournful sound
and it's so cold is the morning as we stand in the line at the half hollow hill

STARING EYES OF THE MAN ON MURDER TRAIN
Written by Justin Burrill (Crabble Duro, BMI)
© 1987 all rights reserved
A trance is broken and a man falls to his knees
It's a hallelujah revival down at the mission
A murmur rises behind what we see
A stick is stuck halfway down and out
The agony must be elevating
Hung on the wall... it's illuminating
but back or down
it will never move
It's a knife and it's stuck-The staring eyes of the man on the murder train
These things happen almost every day
What is the motivation?
A man is standing is standing in a suit on a train...they call his number right there
What I saw I can't say for sure
but I know I'll never forget
the staring eyes of the man or the murder train
It's a plot that goes high and far and wide
that's what I read in the paper
Now daggers hang above me as I sleep
he stood so close to me
and if it can touch him then it can touch me, too
