Mourning Ritual By Exu Nazares
Waking up is hard to do,
when you feel like you've got nothing to lose,
and everything you knew has slipped away.
Noone seems to understand although
they may try to lend a hand.
They don't hear a single thing you say.
That's a red flag.
It's a warning sign.
It's a dotted line fading from view.
Everyone is on a different path at a different time,
and you may ask yourself
"What is the meaning of it all?".
Try to look at the bigger picture,
don't get lost in broken scriptures.
We all end up the same way after all.
That's a red flag.
It's a warning sign.
It's a dotted line fading .
Dying's always hardest on the ones you leave behind.
Take comfort in the knowing it will lesson over time.
As long as you know that it's never easy letting go.
It's all part of the mourning ritual.
All they leave you with are the memories,
but that's enough for me 'cause I know I can get on by.
Nobody stays around forever,
memories keep us together after we die.
That's a last call.
It's the final curtain fall.
It's a door with no walls waiting.
Dying's always hardest on the ones you leave behind.
Take comfort in the knowing it will lesson over time.
As long as you know that it's never easy letting go.
It's all part of the mourning ritual.

Pine Box Blues by Exu Nazares
Tell me tell me, can you hear that bell?
Can you hear it ringing, way up on the hill?
You know what that means, put your black suit on.
Tell me tell me
tell me where you've been.
Tell me places travelled, people that you've seen.
I've got time to listen but just for a little while.
'
Cause another pine box is going into the ground,
and I'm wondering what's going on in this town now.
Tell me tell me
can you hear that bell?
Hear the angels singing "Only time will tell"
You know what that means, put your black suit on.
Cause another pine box is going into the ground,
and I'm wondering what's going on in this town now.

Bye Bye Bo Diddley by Exu Nazares
Bye bye Bo Diddley
So long ole James Brown
It's been a long road that you have laid
and we've all walked down.
Goodbye Robert Johnson
See you at the crossroads.
I paid my dues, but these blues
are a heavy load.
Bye Blind Lemon Jefferson,
so long Mississippi
Fred McDowell, your slide
cried and howled
Bye bye John Lee Hooker
So long Jeffrey Lee
It's been a hard road that you laid down
for one like me.
solo
It's a long hard road I know,
but there's nowhere else to go.

End Of The Road By Exu Nazares
Broken stories never told.
So many lives bought and sold.
Take a left and keep on driving to the end of the road.
Darkness may come around, from time to time, just to let you know.
There is a common road, everybody goes but nobody knows
When your time has come now.
Broken stories never told.
So many lives bought and sold.
Make a right and keep on driving to the end of the road.
There may be memories, and visions of the future that will lead you on.
Take care with what you do, and who you talk to, before you are gone.
You know what you have to do now.
Broken stories never told.
So many lives bought and sold.
Straight ahead and keep on driving to the end of the road.
Straight ahead and keep on driving to the end of the road.
Straight ahead and keep on driving to the end of the road.

Long Gone by Exu Nazares
We had a swarm of locusts back in 1889,
it destroyed the farms and a good friend of mine
hung himself out in the trees, his body swung in the breeze
he said he couldn't go on that way anymore.
You can't wait too long.
You look away and then it's gone.
Long gone, long gone.
Came the great fires back in 1911.
Everyone died except the ones who had set 'em.
they thought they got away, tho I made sure they paid,
but it wasn't undone,
and it's not fun anymore.
You can't wait too long.
You look away and then it's gone.
Long gone, long gone.
You can't wait too long.
You look away and then it's gone.
Long gone, long gone.
You can try to make some sense of it
some of the pieces will never fit at all.
You can tell yourself it's not your fault,
still find yourself waiting for the fall.
Whether or not it hapenns at all now.
Solo
Lived through the hurricane of 1955,
it ripped up the town and only a handfull survived.
We travelled for days, looking for the place
that we could call home.
In the end you go it alone.
You can't wait too long.
You look away and then it's gone.
Long gone, long gone.
You can't wait too long.
You look away and then it's gone.
Long gone, long gone.
