The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down..
"Virgil Caine is the name..
And I served on the Danville train..
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came..
And they tore up the tracks again..
In the winter of '65..
We were hungry.. Just barely alive..
By May tenth.. Richmond had fell..
It's a time.. I remember.. Oh so well..

The night they drove old Dixie down..
When all the bells were ringing..
The night they drove old Dixie down..
And all the people were singing..
They went.. La, la, la..

Back with my wife in Tennessee..
When one day she called to me..
Said Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E.Lee..
Now I don't mind choppin' wood..
And I don't care if the money's no good..
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest..
But they should never have taken the very best..

Like my father before me.. I will work the land..
And like my brother above me.. Who took a rebel stand..
He was just eighteen.. Proud and brave..
But a Yankee.. Laid him in his grave..
And I swear by the mud below my feet..
You can't raise a Caine back up..
When he's in defeat..

The night they drove old Dixie down.."
1984
"Someday they won't let you..
Now you must agree..
The times.. they are a-telling..
And the changing isn't free..
You've read it in the tea leaves..
And the tracks are on TV..
Beware the savage jaw of 1984..

They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air..
And tell you that you're eighty.. But brother.. You won't care..
You'll be shooting up on anything.. Tomorrow's never there..
Beware the savage jaw of 1984..

Come see.. Come see.. Remember me..
We played out an all night movie role..
You said it would last..
But I guess we enrolled in 1984..
Who could ask for more.. 1984.. Who could ask for more..

I'm looking for a vehicle..
I'm looking for a ride..
I'm looking for a party..
I'm looking for a side..
I'm looking for the treason that I knew in '65..
Beware the savage jaw of 1984.."

“It is the task of the enlightened not only to ascend to learning and to see the good but to be willing to descend again to those prisoners and to share their troubles and their honors, whether they are worth having or not. And this they must do, even with the prospect of death.”
― Plato, The Allegory of the Cave

Nam – this syllable represents ”devotion to” or ”I take refuge within.” Furthermore, this word comes from the Sanskrit term ”namah,” which translates as ”devotion” or ”commitment.”
Myoho – this syllable represents the mystic law of cause and effect (law of karma). In another interpretation, ”mio” signifies the constant truth and ”ho” represents all phenomena that are triggered by Myo.
Renge – this syllable symbolizes the lotus flower, which simultaneously blooms and seeds. The term also represents that an individual is free to choose what beliefs to harbor, and can awaken to the truth at any time.
Kyo – this syllable represents the power of sound (vibration). Kyo also signifies the sutras, or the ancient teachings of Gautama Buddha. In a larger perspective, the activities of all living beings and all phenomena in the creation are a manifestation of the Mystic Law.
