Hey folks, a little musical reprise from the Survivor Knights event at the Rotunda in Philadelphia, PA – Live performance of “Pirates” and “When Your Heart Follows A Lie” –

Some tunes of mine addressing the traumas [“Pirates”] of life & the lies and the beliefs I [perhaps you have as well] have followed and then finding some truth…and love. These are some of the reasons these songs came to pass.

Walking down to the dock of the bay
Just take care in selecting you ship, moored at the quay
A sturdy ship from those at hand will help your passage
Deliver you to a new land
Before you set sail, remember why you chose to leave this place
Changing your mind in a storm tossed sea
Keeps you, floundering upon that misery sea
– Chorus –
Taking shots from a cannonade
High seas pirates chasing your sails
Throw your caution to the wind
Position your ship so the sun shines in their face
And though your crew has abandoned the sails
I can still feel the wind and the waves, at your hand
And though your crew has abandoned the sails
I can still feel the wind and the waves at your hand, at your hand
– Middle break –
– Chorus –
Taking shots from a cannonade
High seas pirates chasing your sails
Throw your caution to the wind
Position your ship so the sun shines in their face
And though your crew has abandoned the sails
I can still feel the wind and the waves at your hand
And though your crew has abandoned the sails
I can still feel the wind and the waves at your hand, at your hand
Before you set sail remember why you chose to leave this place
“WHEN YOUR HEART FOLLOWS A LIE”© Michael Skinner Music
See your life unfold, wasting away
All those things you thought, they’ve been betrayed
I seemed so sure, of what I felt
Little did I know, soon that ice would melt
I have seen the fire and I’ve felt the rain
Love that felt so good, that too betrayed
All the mysteries of life, I’ve wanted to taste
My pursuit of truth and life, soon laid to waste
Chorus
And yet what I find, is not what I thought
Have I been so blind, in what I lived for
Now I know I was blind
Now I know I was blind
You feel so all alone, in this space
Try so hard to hang on, what’s left of your faith
Your hand reaches out, they slap it away
Once more you feel that knife, you’ve been betrayed
Chorus
And yet what I find, is not what I thought
Have I been so blind, in what I lived for
When your heart follows a lie
When your heart follows a lie
When you follow people of the lie
When your heart follows a lie
– Middle break
Chorus
And yet what I find, is not what I thought
Have I been so blind, in what I lived for
And now I know, I was blind
Oh now I know, I was blind
When your heart follows a lie
When your heart follows a lie
Now I follow truth, love and light
No more following a lie
We shall follow truth, love and light
We shall follow truth, love and light
