High on Cult Life
(©2020 Anders/O’Bitz)
He sees within you, oh
Don’t ya feel like a hog that’s tied
You’re on the menu, whoa
Head like the great divide
High on cult life
Don’t know what’s in you, whoa
Can’t break the ties that bind
If not with you, whoa
Responsibility lies
High on cult life
You won’t go slow
You’re as high as the sun
All get burned by its fire
No love well done
This love’s not right
And when you’re high as the sun
You won’t fall down on your own
There’s more on fire
So many high on
Cult life
And this is not new, no
All very deep and wide
Much bigger than you, whoa
And so says every sign
High on cult life
You won’t go slow
You’re as high as the sun
All get burned by its fire
No love well done
This love’s not right
And when you’re high as the sun
You won’t fall down on your own
There’s more on fire
So many high on
Cult life
You won’t go slow
And you’ll never be alone
Never alone
Oh alone
You’re as high as the sun
All get burned by its fire
No love well done
This love’s not right
And when you’re high as the sun
You won’t fall down on your own
There’s more on fire
So many high
And you’re as high as the sun
All get burned by its fire
No love well-done
This love’s not right
Cult life
Cult life

Bells Toll
(©2020 Anders/O'Bitz)
The auctioneer sets his price
Rings his bell when it’s at a high
His bell tolls
It tolls and it tolls
Each toll means a soul to buy
Can’t drown out all their bitter cries
His bell tolls
It tolls and it tolls
All told, what was the price
Higher than the blue sky highest
Bells toll
Ringing below their cries
Ringing below
The minister stands on high
Rings his bell that sways side to side
His bell tolls
It tolls and it tolls
Each ring means a soul takes flight
With the auctioneer’s bell it chimes
Their bells toll
They toll and they toll
All told, what was the price
Higher than the blue sky highest
Bells toll
Ringing below their cries
All told, what was the price
Higher than the blue sky highest
Bells toll
Ringing below their cries
Ringing below
Oh oh oh oh
All told, what was the price
Higher than the blue sky highest
Bells toll
Ringing below their cries
Ringin’ below
All told, what was the price
Higher than the blue sky highest
Bells toll
Ringing below their cries
Ringing below
Ringing below
What was the price

This Haunted Love
(©2018 Anders/O’Bitz)
Bad religion
Born of lovers who could never love
A child’s position
Always lookin’ up to what’s above
Unsettled debts become
Unsettled debts become
No decisions
Haunted by the trap of up and down
Weak conditions
We can’t recognize the other’s sound
Unsettled debts become
Unsettled debts become
Passed on down
Ooh Oh
This haunted love
Can’t call it love
Ooh oh
Can’t rise above
A haunted love
Hallelujah
Praise from below to above
Our reunion
Requires us to find another love
Unsettled debts become
Unsettled debts become
Passed on down
Ooh Oh
This haunted love
Can’t call it love
Ooh oh
Can’t rise above
A haunted love
Ooh Oh
This haunted love
Can’t call it love
Ooh oh
Can’t rise above
A haunted love

Sold Down the River
(2020 © Anders/O’Bitz)
Born in Kentucky
Born as their chattel
She’s owned
Born at the wrong time
Born in the wrong place
She’s sold
How can it be that their
Jesus can’t see
What we know
The only story
That means anything’s
About Job
Oh the river
Long wicked river
She’s sold
Sold down the river
Down long wicked river
Must go
Born on the delta
Born as their chattel
He’s owned
Her baby’s a child of
A violence her mothers
Have known
How can it be
In their mirrors don’t see
The Pharaohs
The only story
That means anything
They won’t know
Oh the river
Long wicked river
She’s sold
Sold down the river
Down long wicked river
Must go
Oh, it doesn’t care or know
It just flows, this violence flows
Like a river flows
Oh the river
Long wicked river
She’s sold
Sold down the river
Down long wicked river
Must go
Oh the river
Long wicked river
She’s sold
Sold down the river
Down long wicked river
Must go
Must go
