Death Of An Honest Man (words & music by Roy Evan Burstiner)

Through a raging roar on a pounding door
As we see what we will see
When we hit the nights of the wrong and right
There’s a fire burning in me free 
In the midnight flash and we talk our trash
fading down in a silent scream
As we break the highway of broken glass
to the hopes of a dying dream  

It’s time to shout to somebody out there Help Me
Shine a light on the way to the promised land
Casting the hunger through the truth of darkness
Finding the hope for the death of an honest man 

Turning quick in the shadows thick
in a dark alley dead end street
take the longer step, on a slippery edge
In the air blowing cool and sweet
on the concrete wall, standing up so tall
as we write our names in blood
and we testify to the open sky
in the face of impending floods

It’s time to shout to somebody out there Help Me
Shine a light on the way to the promised land
Casting the hunger through the truth of darkness
Finding the hope for the death of an honest man

Death Of An Honest Man - Roy Evan Burstiner
00:00

Making a plan with the help of a hand and a guide through the storm and the rain
Tell me the truth and cut the lies loose til it clears away all of the pain

Saying you’re born to a world that is torn
in a dream of a rising sun
Eyes of your face looking out to a place
Where our thoughts have just begun
In a searching soul, in the deep dark hole
reaching out for a healing prayer
As we hit the floor running through the door
On the road to a single tear

It’s time to shout to somebody out there Help Me
Shine a light on the way to the promised land
Casting the hunger through the truth of darkness
Finding the hope for the death of an honest man
