Yisroel AryeBrooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - KedeiraI met a man as he was breathing
All across the barren land
He showed me how to be fruitful
As I take my final stand
Oh, I don't plan to leave you here
But I will do as I must
Step on a New York highway
Past fields of fire and rust
I've seen Kedeira in a dream
I've seen Kedeira in a dream
Trading skin like water
Turns bones grey unlike before
Yes, I like the lifestyle you furnished
As you showed me the exit door
This war leaves no survivors
Who know what they're surviving for
Night...
2025-03-2503 minYisroel AryeBrooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - The TrialLet's say everyone's looking at you
Say everyone's doing what you want them to do
I'll tell you a secret
that's for her ears to hear it
To sigh away
And sigh away
The Trial
I've gone away a long time behind you
I've tried to do what you want me to do
Could not believe it
That she knew our secret
To sigh away
And sigh away
The Trial
I want nothing from you
Nothing you wanted me not to want too
I need all of you touched by the wind
What your skin hides within
It's your skin...

Holding court beside a stream
They let you go up on the mountain
Until you disappeared in green
Forge of fire has given birth
To a sword of golden twine
Mirror sees me facing her
Naked river flowing wine
Somebody told me that freedom for you
No longer held such gripping fascination
Why don't you let your old fears slip away
Meet me at the subway station
This helpless day
An empty palate on which I paint
The scenes I see around you
Through a mist of passing rain
When time takes on...
2025-03-2504 minYisroel AryeBrooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - PleasingSo you’re sitting by yourself
Have your heart up on a shelf
Never beating ‘til you show some folks around
Just as everything with breath
Wish to live with no regret
As it was before the common world knocked you down
While pretending to be a brother
Now before you get all sad
Over something that you never had
Take a look at what’s in front of you no longer
Do you see a man that’s brave
For at least the time he’s not afraid
Of the heart that’s now been taken down
And passed around to th...

Oh, Loving by Moonlight
Got a hunger you fulfill
Left my keys on your windowsill
Oh, while the Moon shines clear and still
Moonlit trees Moonlight songs
I feel the need to linger on
Take my heart don’t give it back
Until you get your fill
Gaze at me with both eyes shut
Feel your body waking up

These tears fill my belly I’m a traveller held at the border
Shut in a room with these gifts I should never have bought her
There’s a coffee stained dress and this crumb she just brushed off her shoulder
I woke up this morning to see you asleep in my bedroom
I’ve just made the same mistake you’ve seen me make over and over
Can’t seem to shake this old feeling common sense says

While peeking through a crevice in the sand
bearing witness to a vision too compelling to withstand
Nechama why'd you come back again
Out driving in the country with a friend
We watch you disappearing round the bend
Momma cries into the mailbox
Each letter you do not send
Nechama why'd you come back again
Still believe that while you're all alone
You'd think to pick up the phone
Where the road out meets the rider
Do you save yourself for the right man

There’s a bridge in the dark as we’re traveling
Both sides drop to the abyss
Seems like forever since the land was visible

Will the sirens awake you in paradise

Did you use these last moments to sing a spell
Or like most hide in fear of the flu

Subtle smiles you meet along the way
The bird will talk expose your secret’s address
She’s had it in for you since your wedding day
They held you underground
And made you swallow wine
Spiked with turpentine
And turned your walls to snakes
Revealed your destiny
Divined with your third eye
That on the inside there was still sunshine
What kind of lion would roar then flee so quickly
And by your side a wounded wolf and sheep

Not so the wicked but [they are] like chaff that the wind drives away
