Lava
Gentle flame
Crackle snap
Crash and burn
Wo-oh
The burning
Brings intensity
To the calm
Wo-oh
Feel the heat
Embracing energy
Can you feel it
Wo-oh
Dancing flames
Screaming angels
…
Wo-oh

Wo-oh
Wo-oh
Wo-oh
Wo-oh

I’m blazing from afar
Have molten blood within
My melody remains
Glowing rivers flow
With rhythm in my veins
Only the lava knows

Rolling smoke
From the ashes
Out of control
Wo-oh
Staring
At the embers
Can’t let it go
Wo-oh

Wo-oh
Wo-oh
Wo-oh
Wo-oh

I’m blazing from afar
Have molten blood within
My melody remains
Glowing rivers flow
With rhythm in my veins
Only the lava knows

Let it flow through me
Let it burn deeply
Let it consume me
Lava fight for what’s right

Let it flow through me
Let it burn deeply
Let it consume me
Lava fight for what’s right

I’m blazing from afar
Have molten blood within
My melody remains
Glowing rivers flow
With rhythm in my veins
Only the lava knows

Wo-oh
Wo-oh
Wo-oh
Wo-oh

Wo-oh
Wo-oh
Wo-oh
Wo-oh

 I wanted to make a quick playlist showcasing some of the songs that influenced my love for acoustic music by heavy rockers.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like for someone to have such respect for a song that I wrote that it would influence them forever like this song has for me.  Thank you, Scooter Ward.  You did that for me.

My First Post

 Hi, everyone! This blog is about my acoustic journey. I’m The Sound Ninja.  I’m a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and recording artist from Minnesota USA who plays everything you hear in my music unless a featured artist is noted.  I have a couple full-length albums and a bunch of singles out on all the major streaming platforms, plus Bandcamp. Pretty recently, I’ve started working on a new heavy rock / metal project with my friend from England you may know as Operation Neptune Spear, and we call ourselves Minus Context.  We are working on a full-length album, and we have a ways to go. That brings me to the purpose of this blog.  With all of the super heavy, blasting and facemelting music that we are working on as Minus Context, sometimes I personally really like to have a cool down.  Some of my favorite music ever made is by the heavy rock artists that step back and play a moody ballad. That being said, I’m going to start working on a fully acoustic alb...
