Awakened by Iraqi jets There's tears in childrens' eyes Who can stop this madness now Before our own demise? We're running out of time Have we all lost our minds? Is there nowhere else for us to go? Don't know the reason why Or when they're gonna die Their lives go on day by day Shiites in the forefront Their religion stems their pride The noble way to heaven Is sought by suicide Offshore the speedboats dare A Tomcat thought in the air Tragedy was only moments away Identify, there's no return Justify by what we've learned Innocence was thrown into the sea, into the sea (Chorus) As the years go by Eastern Guns won't die Revolution cries Eastern Guns alive (solo) 8-20-88 The guns will fire no more Ambition towards a new frontier Regression back to war Lebanon far and wide Americans still trapped inside Yearning for the day they'll all come home Through the haze I've come to see Symbols of our countries Left alone--our flags will burn no more, no more (Chorus) As the years go by Eastern Guns have died Revolution cries Eastern Guns have died

You're given a position of control Millions come to you to save their souls A hundred counties know and praise your name Everyone believing just the same The power you attain won't take you far As soon as consequence shows who you are A wagon in the rain will turn to rust Showered with weakness a man turns to lust (Chorus) Walk with me -- Don't fall behind Breathe honestly -- the blind leading the blind Give to me -- oh won't you be so kind Save my life -- the blind leading the blind With people lost you offer them a plan Using every speech to reprimand Who are you to judge a man of sin When you yourself are hiding it within Denominations make no sense to me It's just another name for what we perceive They all claim "the truth" is in their word Hypocrisy is all I've ever heard (Chorus) It's kind of sad how people cannot see Manipulation within ministry Arrogance with fame has shown us all That no one is too high to take a fall (Chorus)

He sits and ponders with a pen His eyes gaze out the window Scribbled sheets lie at his feet The teapot starts to whistle His toes indulge the rug below His brow shows every line Fingers run through his graying hair Wondering what happened to time Images conjure in his spirit Some he just can't write His spectacles are dimmed with a mist He can't focus on life Ideals and issues are not in his game But pure imagination From the first line we read we have in our head The feeling that silence is golden (Chorus) In the Writer's Eye, there's a side we never see Reading words of fiction away from reality In the Writer's mind is a place we'll never know Blinded by stories to write as they grow old The pages have become a blur And I'm running out of time I've never felt so much despair And all within my mind I'm lost within the realms I write Both my hands are tied Inspiration hits the floor A part of me has died The writer is a child at heart On life's merry-go-round With a dash of ink his wooden horse Gallops from the carousel To continue his books he reads afar Looking in the pool of life As the ripples clear, the water reflects A boy who's flying his kite (Chorus)

It's a place I know so well I've been here all my life Running from the streets I know To escape my inner flight Away from the highways I cut through the bi-ways, I run In the horizon A sight mesmerizing, then comes Not a sound to break the still Deep inside I hold my breath Knowing that I must go back I leave my fears to rest A world so confusing With words so abusing, I'm gone Remember the saying That those who are praying are one (Chorus) Silence is Golden Silence is Golden Silence is Golden to see Silence id Golden, it follows me Time goes on, the pressure's high I can feel it draining me Now I know what I must do To get me back reality Reading their faces I'm trapped into places, I lie Searching for silence I turn and I look to the sky (Chorus)

Glacier Portland, Oregon

In the early 1980s, Glacier, a traditional power band, exploded into the US Northwest Metal scene with Michael Podrybau on vocals, Pat Goebel and Sam Easley on guitars, Timm Proctor on bass, and Loren Bates on drums to create the self-titled EP, with guest singers Keith Flax and Rex McNew each singing one song on side A.
