8. Darkest Hour (1 Reviews) Listen  
If I lose my faith
Just remind me, just remind me
When my shadow's longer
Stay beside me 'till it's brighter
How easily I forget
How beautiful to see it once again

In my darkest hour I will be freed

When I close my eyes
I hope to find you, hope to find you
When I leave my body
I want to be ready, willing like you were
I sat beside you then
I felt the warmth as it left your hands

In my darkest hour I will be freed

I've been waiting so long
That waiting was the end
Let this sleeper awaken again

In my darkest hour I will be freed

This song is a story about when Glen's father died. It seems that he was with his faher at the time of his death. He talks about how calm his father was about death and how he wishes that one day he will be calm like his father.

He gives us a descrpition of the beauty in death that is always ignored.  

In his story he tells that in his darkest and scariest moment in life is right before death. Then you will become truly free.

7. Drive By (2 Reviews) Listen  

I was the driver for the drive-by of the neighbor's dog
Dad had always hated him so he said "Come on son,
"Get into the Vega now and I'll go get my shotgun"
It was a military holiday and kids were everywhere
I hid behind the steering wheel and tried to disappear
I tried to speak but couldn't, Dad was whistling and drinking beer

And I prayed "Dear God, if You save this dog
"I will never get high, I will never jack off
"I will be all the things that I should but have not
"I'll be a good boy from now on"

We turned around the corner soon and saw the neighbor's yard
Dad lit up a cigarette and rolled his window down
And grinning like an idiot he stuck his head and body out

And I prayed "Dear God, if You save this dog
"I will never get high, I will never jack off
"I will be all the things that I should but have not
"I'll be a good boy from now on"

Well he popped in a shell and took aim with the gun
Then a flash and a bang and the dog it was gone
Jumped up and he ran away
Dad had shot right through his chain

Dad said "Take me to the Dairy Freeze, I want to have a shake"
We sipped them on the benches there and stared out on the lake
And Dad has never said another word about that day

And I hope you're not disappointed, God
'Cause I still get high and I still jack off
And you knew I was lying but you still saved that dog
You're such a good God
Such a good, good God
Such a good, Goddamn backwards Dog
And I'll be a good boy from now on
