bookmark_borderThe Spirit Of Christmas #7

LYRICS
That’s one fearsome wind
Blowin’ in
Leaving the flow
Of an icicle
You know…
Where tears of joy have been
Moving out of reach
From the Reaper’s sickle

Soon we’ll discover
The storm’s blown over
Soon the winds will calm
And the threat will move on
To once again enjoy
Our tears of joy
Moving into reach
Of the owning of each

Now we found out
What life’s all about
Feelings that giving makes
Out-weighs those from the takes
Getting what you deserve
Depends on how you serve
Knowing we won’t miss
The spirit of Christmas

LYRICS
Not sure
There’s a greener pasture
No, I’m not sure
Hence
Then on this side of the fence
My circumstance
The date to appreciate
The date is immediate
The rate we’ll accelerate
Before it’s too late

Turning green
With an envy sheen
Know what I mean?
Cries and moans
Keeping up with the Jones
Cries and moans
Just for fun
Bet you can’t eat just one
One and done
Eyes will bake
More than tummy can take
The date to appreciate
The date is immediate
The rate we’ll accelerate
Before it’s too late

bookmark_borderYour Number

Goblins, ghouls and boogie men
Comin’ round more often
Baggaged closet skeleton
Need to leave behind what has been
No you’ll never (no you’ll never)
Never ever (never ever)
Have to watch your back again

You are the 12, 24
Before, now and evermore
But if you’re ever in a fix
Rest assured I’ll be your six
No you’ll never (no you’ll never)
Never ever (never ever)
Have to watch your back again

From ever ’til eternity
You can always count on me
Tick-tack-toe and pick-up-sticks
Rest assured I’ll be your six
No you’ll never (no you’ll never)
Never ever (never ever)
Have to watch your back again

To what shall be from what has been

bookmark_borderInside-Out-Upside-Down

LYRICS
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down
As the down-and-out
Get driven out-of-town
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down
If there’s any doubt
Just look around
[jam]

Will they all find out
They’ve become the clown
The more they scream and shout
The more they pout and frown
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down

Did the id get full of clout
Turning verb to noun
Soon the last will be en route
… first to wear the crown
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down

All their nonchalant whatnot
For crying out loud

bookmark_borderMaster Of Destiny

LYRICS
Does it appear to be too far away
Far from near
Completely our of reach
Long fro freedom on a reigny day
Be the waves crashing on the beach
Free the slaves
Living in my heart
Given freedom as they depart

Being the master of my destiny
As all demons are set free
Taking control of what is my soul
With the goal
To be free
From agony

If I harbor ill will still
Cast it out and set ‘er to sail
Goodwill fills the void
And calms the wail
As the year draws near
To shed a tear
I’ve come to learn there’s nothing to fear
So long as love I endear

LYRICS
Come on lady
Having a baby
Is this any time or place
For such a display
Messing with my dismay
Try and bring life
Interrupting my strife
You make wallowing in self-pity
Feel real shitty

Bring new soul
To a withering sole
Creating knew soul
Where there was a hole
Is now whole

Maybe shady
Wallowin’ in shadow
Might just feel right
Stepping into the light
A bright insight
Come out of night
Into delight
Born in the realm of reality
The ability

LYRICS
Prince Of Peace where are you going
Leaving us without knowing
What we’re doing

The devil left us ill
Insists on serving a cease and desist
On our lease for peace
Satanic release

What in the devil are we doing
This civil war is hardly civil
Just what we dread
The left and right are dead
Trampled everything that’s growing

Guess it’s time to kill
That devil
… better still
Will love that devil’s hate
Make it evaporate

LYRICS
What if blue wasn’t really blue
Would it be possible to be true blue?
Hello! Add a little yellow
Scaredy-cat turns green
Can you see the envy
Know what I mean?

See his face turning red
Just because of what I said
You can add some blue
If it makes you sad
That he turned mad
Royal purple clad

If it was only black and white
It’d be easy to see what’s right
It’s apparent it’s not transparent
Until we’re all color blind
We won’t be kind

bookmark_borderWhatever I Have Left

LYRICS
What has it come to
Reboot overdue
When everyone you know
Wants to turn into foe
Seems it’s getting mighty thick
With the modern hypocrite
I just don’t get it
No not a bit
Human habit
Oh take me to a place
With a humane human race
These cats have turned to dogs
And the greediest of hogs
[interlude]
So with whatever I have left
I will offer as a gift
Hope to give a lift
I love you
And hope you make it through
I do

LYRICS
1 step forward
2 steps back
Ahh but I digress
On how we regress
The past — sordid
The future black
Ahh but I digress
On how we regress
(chorus)
Come lay your hands
We can fix this mess
One understands
The ultimate test of tests

Running in circles
Searching for miracles
Ahh but I digress
On how we regress
De-evolution
Hardly a solution
Ahh but I digress
On how we regress

LYRICS
1) There is an air of arrogance
Cruelty towards all innocence
Can’t stand-by in silence
Observe the meek heard

Chorus:
Unbelievable we’re able
To take a seat at the table
Know you a voice now
Now, let them hear how

2) We’re in an era of arrogance
Boasting made in ignorance
Stifling of the brilliance
Observe the meek heard
(Chorus)

3) Total taunting of tolerance
The reigning of decadence
Can’t stand standing on the fence
Observe the meek heard
(Chorus)

LYRICS
In the dark of night
Your light shines bright
Yes, you are
The brightest star
Dear,
Your light travels through the years
Overpowering any fears
Of the dark
The brilliance of your spark
Lust for the luster of your sparkle
Ahhhhh the original miracle
In the eye
Of the heavenly sky
A wrinkle in time the way you twinkle
The whitest light
In the twilight
Truth told
You never get old
Truth told
Ahhh behold

LYRICS
Might want to think twice
About rolling the dice
7 / 11
On going to heaven
Might wan to think back
ON what to retract
Once you’re dead
… already said
Heart beating
Is fleeting
Life is…
Kiss

Might think it over
Over 4 leaf clover
Out of luck
Don’t give a #uck
Might want to repent
Before Life is spent
Being kind
Comes to mind
Heart beating
Is fleeting
Life is…
Kiss

LYRICS
I can wait til later
To wrestle an alligator
I can wait for a while
To mess with a crocodile
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

I will gladly wait
To witness the pearly gate
Pray tell, my philosophy? Well,
Is to avoid hell
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

No, I can not wait
To participate
Pay no mind to fate
We can set our date
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

So, with the time we have left
Do you think that it’s best
That we partake and give
All the life there is to live?
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me
