Brothers
Words and music by Nickolas Travis
It started out like everyday, the sun was shining down in through the windowpane.
Shone onto my face. ‘Til I could sleep no more.
Smoked a quick cigarette then I was out the door.
Along the way I spotted a friend.
Coming towards me his eyes fixed on me from just across the bend.
Now, as hired guns we’d seen our fair share of jobs pulled through.
And I just wretched when I asked the next and he said to me, “It’s you.”
My blood ran cold and my brain went numb.
I knew my friends could do some things but I never saw this coming.
“What’s this?” I said. He shook his head.
“Seems there has been a change in plans.”
And for all of this time I was thinking that we were brothers.
I got it wrong again, but it’s for the last time.
And the rest of the time I was screaming out, “Please no, God no!”
And the rest of the time was the rest of my time.
A fight broke out, but soon was done.
These things get over quickly when there is a gun.
And when it went off, I didn’t hear no bang.
Nothing but visions of my mother as she sang.
“Don’t be scared, it’s okay.
Don’t be scared, now you’re safe.”
It’s over, now I don’t make sound.
I don’t make a move and to the worms I’m food.
‘Cause he dug a hole that’s so deep down.
Thanks to my friend I’ll not be found.

Mountainside
Words and music by Nickolas Travis
Go tell it on the mountain
Go yell it at the sky
Say a prayer for our sons and our daughters
They’ll be hanging from the mountainside
They’re hanging from the mountainside
It was always so easy to lie cheat and maim
Bad deeds pour out of me like the sky pours out the rain
I try to contain them and mostly I can
There’s only so much water can be held by a dam
A time always comes when the walls overflow
And flood all the houses in the towns down below
And as it rolls through I’ll float along top
God have mercy on the souls wherever I stop
The places fly by like clouds I the sky
And I’m rolling in like fog in the night
So board up your windows and sure up your doors
There’s a flood a’comin’ you’re not safe anymore
They’re coming after you
(Run run run)
Climb it up the mountainside
You’re only hope to get out alive
If you make it on time
You just might see the water peak before it subsides
