LYRICS
They say you are what you eat
So why not be a treat?
They say grasp the victory
From the jaws of defeat
New history
Victory
Try to fly…
Fly with eagle’s wings
Then, on high…
Hear your universe sing

To be or not to be
Why such a mystery?
Blank page of your story
Scribe your tribe’s victory
New history
Victory
Try to fly…
Fly with eagle’s wings
Then, on high…
Hear your universe sing

LYRICS
It gets rated: complicated
Just a little bit
Translated: complicated
The nail’s head hit
Quite a fuss
About the calculus
Between us

It gets rated: complicated
Just a little bit
Translated: complicated
The nail’s head hit
Down the path
Of the math
Around wrath

It gets rated: complicated
Just a little bit
Translated: complicated
The nail’s head hit
Trying to see
The geometry
That shapes “we”

The shapes to come
Untangled… undone

What’s this inner bliss?
Hope you do not miss
… this
An ethereal kiss

An ethereal kiss
For real
Ethereal

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What about drinking water
As if it didn’t matter
People drink from the gutter
Woes
Doesn’t have to be:
“That is how it goes”
New way to see
Everybody knows

What about air to breath
All our nations grieve
Must be a reprieve
Woes
Doesn’t have to be:
“That is how it goes”
New way to see
Everybody knows

What of the food we eat
Some shoes for all our feet
Shade from the heat
Woes
Doesn’t have to be:
“That is how it goes”
New way to see
Everybody knows

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The wind is behind us
Have no fear
The faith is within us
Hope is near
The blind can see the path is clear
The strong helping bring-up the rear
These are the days and ways to hold dear

The gods are behind us
Have no fear
The “First/Last” ruckus
Cause to veer
The blind can see the path is clear
The strong helping bring-up the rear
These are the days and ways to hold dear

The people behind us
Have no fear
The deaf by us
We can hear
The blind can see the path is clear
The strong helping bring-up the rear
These are the days and ways to hold dear

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Way, way back in the day
We were allowed to go out and play
Carefree and happy
There was barely a worry
Don’t ya know
It’s been a long time
Since we played a show
Don’t ya know
This confinement’s got to go
Don’t ya know
Feeling blue… down with woe!

It seems just like yesterday
Lurking evil was kept at bay
Trouble free playing merrily
There was no catastrophe

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Muse using musing
Engage the sage
Face to black
Then, fade back
Seeing the big picture
Coincidentally reveals the future
The stakes of learning from mistakes
The perils of errors
And the corpses it makes
On the up-take
Awake
To possibility of responsibility
So your third-I can see
Muse amused using musing

LYRICS
Are you “You are what you eat”?
Does your drummer beat
To a different beat?
Do da, da, dancing feet

Knowing inside all is well
Heart rage you can quell
You are starting to jell

LYRICS
Wait a second, Mister
Not so fast
You don’t have a free pass
Alas, at last
Cast your eyes on Miss Justice
Realize and cast your “I’s” for Miss Justice

Wait a minute, Sister
Here at last
Opportunity’s coming on fast
Amass our past
Cast your eyes on Miss Justice
Realize and cast your “I’s” for Miss Justice

Wind of change — a twister
Fate is cast
Raise your flag up the mast
Alas, at last
Cast your eyes on Miss Justice
Realize and cast your “I’s” for Miss Justice

No, it’s not ’64 anymore

No, it’s not ’84 anymore
No, not any more
No, it’s not ’94 anymore

LYRICS
Have you ever wandered
Into the merriment
Of wonder
Did it make you wonder
Why not all the time
After all,
What is meant by meant
*Waterfall chime*
Though comes to mind
And, it’s mine
All the time
A vibrant merriment
Of wonder
No need to talk
Take her for a walk
Wander with wonder

LYRICS
Livin’ with the sin within
I’m living without
Livin’ with the sin within
Hear the devil shout
Have you tried to wrestle him about
Or is your faith in doubt
Watch the angels fall
At the sinners’ ball

Livin’ with the sin within
I’m living without
Livin’ with the sin within
Hear the devil shout
Better get down on your knees all day
Pray and pray you don’t have to pray
Watch the angels fallLivin’ with the sin within

Livin’ with the sin within
I’m living without
Livin’ with the sin within
Hear the devil shout
Crucifixes, priests, fixers, and silver knives
Gasp and grasp anything to save lives
Watch the angels fall
At the sinners’ ball
