4.	Gold Digger 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Gold Digger Out of the sky came a man He had some gold In his hand He said listen to me son I am the chosen one Then he pulled out a gun and I started to run as I looked In his eyes He started to cry You said you'd let me live forever You said you'd always be my guide You said you'd take me to The rainbow In the sky So soon It seems you've changed you're mind Out of the shadows came a man with a golden nugget In his hand he said he was the chosen one then he pulled out a gun

Let me take you down to a place that's under the ground Where the demons will all love you where you won't know what to do Oh God I'm going Insane I can no longer stand the pain These nightmare's are destroying my mind I think I'm going to Die Now Now I'm Trapped Below The devils stolen my soul these demons are fucking with me I wish they'd let me be I don't want to die down here I don't want to live In fear How long will this nightmare go on and when will these demons be Gone I'm Trapped Below
6.	Prisoner's Of The King 04:53	lyrics	buy track
There is nothing here for me but the torture and misery I am just a prisoner here Its getting close the time is near The Prisoner's Of The King are beaten and made to scream The punishment Is what they fear that Is what always kept them here Then the chains will come and torture everyone while the hero's stare at the glimpse glare soon the people learn that they all will burn and hell Is what they see It becomes reality It becomes reality It becomes reality As each day and night goes bye the people look to the sky Some of them pray to the sun others pray to God The women are bought and sold they are slaves to the throne Is this how my life was to be or Is this just a mystery It becomes reality
7.	So Soon It Seems It's Gone 02:41	lyrics	buy track
When I reflect on life as I often do the memories that mean the most are the times I share with you It's so hard to realize where the time has gone you made life so very special So Soon It Seems It's Gone

9.	Again 01:59	lyrics	buy track
Oh what can It be what It is I need to take away my pain and my suffering what can It be what I'm searching for the scars that I bare are from my long fault war How long is the line that I standith In will I make It Into Heaven and be forgiven my sins For the world I've been subjected to and all the people and the things they do In my life through It all I've tried I'll see you Again and give It another try Oh what can It be what It I need To take away my pain and my suffering Where can It be what I'm searching for The scars that I bare are from my long fuckin war How long Is the line that I standith In Will I make It Into Heaven and be forgiven my sins For the World I've been subjected to and all the people and the things they do In my life through It all I've tried I'll see you Again and give It another Try
10.	The End Of Time 01:47	lyrics	buy track
I can feel the rain begin to fall I can hear the thunder start to Roar I can see the clouds closing In on me I can hear the Innocent victims scream I can see the blood flooding all around I can hear the evil deathly sounds I can feel the pain flowing through the air I can sense The End Of Time Is near Is It all a dream have I been pulled under Have I lost my sense of reality will I wake to find the world outside Or will I wake to see The End Of Time There's a place beneath the world we see There's a evil that dwells within our minds Will this dream ever come true for me & you Will we live to see The End Of Time

about

Surely one of the most different Hard Rock album's that you'll come across, I Am A Musician is a Hard Rocking, Powerful collection of songs written around a most graceful age of 20. Some years later after reaching out and hooking up with bassist Jerry Kreis & drummer Chip Karp the songs made their way to the recording studio & were given life. Recorded In 2004, but not published or made available until 10/31/2016. I Am A Musician is somewhat of a signature song and the album my little contribution to the world of Hard Rock music.
