Posted on by admin

LYRICS
All the days and all the nights
We can stand the weather
All the ways, the rights, the wrongs
We can stand together

Come sit close and hear a tale
Of a midnight fantasy
Get your dose of cheer and ale
An insight of what’s to be
See what will be
Of you and me

All the days and all the nights
We can stand the weather
All the ways, the rights, the wrongs
We can stand together

The tale of male and female
It’s a tragic comedy
On their quest to lose their tail
It’s misplaced humanity

LYRICS
Rough and tumble
May be the call
But, then…
When you get down to it all
The in’s and out’s
What it’s all about
Sometimes you win
Hope not to lose
Have to choose
To start over again
The in’s and out’s
What it’s all

LYRICS
One size fits all
After the fall
The short, the tall
Same after all
First is last
Last is first
Ahhh at last
Quenched thirst

One and the same
Lion’s now tame
It’s a new game
One and the same
First is last
Last is first
Ahhh at last
Quenched thirst

LYRICS
Lost in thought
Soul’s been bought
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought
Bought and sold
Story’s old
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought
Wisdom sought
Not or ought
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought

bookmark_borderGaelic in Him

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you think it’s the Gaelic in him
That posses him to jig?
A dash of Irish
Knew hymn
More or less roots dig
Trace it back through the saints
All day through the knights
If the veils too faint
Head to the light

Do you think it’s the Gaelic in him
That posses him to jig?
A dash of Irish
Knew hymn
More or less roots dig
The origins of the land
Come to understand
The age of romance
With “the dance”

bookmark_borderFlying in the Face

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Drying on my face… more tears flow
Odds are low at coming to know
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying by the season of reason
There is no time for reason or rhyme
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Tell me more
Are you wishing for the poor
That there’ll be poor no more?

Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Are you wishing “end the gore”
That there’ll be war no more?
Lord, do tell

Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Do you wish peace will endure
That there’ll be no more war?
All is well

bookmark_borderI Heard

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I heard the report
Day late and dollar short
Forgot to deal with the trash
Now there’s nowhere to stash
In case it’s not crystal clear
There’s no moving way from here
The solution to pollution
Is in the humane of the human

I heard the report
Breath as a last resort
Beasts have fouled the air
Don’t inhale out there
In case it’s not crystal clear
There’s no moving way from here
The solution to pollution
Is in the humane of the human

I heard the report
The ball is in our court
Not too late to confess
And clean up the mess
In case it’s not crystal clear
There’s no moving way from here
The solution to pollution
Is in the humane of the human

bookmark_borderStuck Inside the Bone

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Am I listening to what I’m hearing
Through the covering is the sound clearing
Or is it left all alone
Stuck inside the bone
Vibrating the skull of the dull

Am I listening to what I’m hearing
Through the covering is the sound clearing
I guess that it’s up to me
To see to set it free
Penetrating the skull of the dull

Am I listening to what I’m hearing
Through the covering is the sound clearing
Vibrating past the bone
Trying to make it home
To retain in the membrane

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Geese upon the pond
The temperature went real low
Probably don’t want to know
Are you sure?
The water started to freeze
While fast asleep the geese
Didn’t wake up in time
Didn’t work out just fine
The temperature went so low
Hated to come to know
The goose was footloose

Are things changing
The ways before
Are now no more
Are they rearranging
The ways before
Are now no more

Are you engaging
The ways before
Are now no more
The more things change
The less remains
The more things change
The more remains

LYRICS
The knights mount up
Their colors blowing in the wind
Beast upon beast
Riding into The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse

The nights lit up
The colors glowing from what’s been
Bombardment meant
Bringing on The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse

They can’t give up
Their colors running with the blood
Belly of the beast
Always wins in The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse

Clear these thoughts from your head
No matter what

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Please stop the world
From going round
I’d like to get off
’til common sense is found
There’s a firesale
On old growth timber
The odds we’ll sustain
Are growing slimmer
Will we ever learn
We get what we earn
Given — you were born
Until the time we mourn
Make it what we will
Make it while there’s still

Please stop the world
From going round
I’d like to get off
’til common sense is found
There’s a firesale
On old growth timber
The odds we’ll sustain
Are growing slimmer
Pooping in our drinking water
Sacrificing both son and daughter
Will we ever learn
We get what we earn
Given — you were born
Until the time we mourn
Make it what we will
Make it while there’s still

Please stop the world
From going round
I’d like to get off
’til common sense is found
There’s a firesale
On old growth timber
The odds we’ll sustain
Are growing slimmer
Pooping in our drinking water
Sacrificing both son and daughter
Will we ever learn
We get what we earn
Given — you were born
Until the time we mourn
Make it what we will
Make it while there’s still
