LYRICS
Isn’t life beautiful
A heavenly place
It’s all a matter of self-fulfill
The direction you face
Turn round
Turn round
… turn around

Isn’t life wonderful
A heavenly place
The more you give goodwill
The more heavenly the race
Turn round
Turn round
… turn around

Isn’t life amazing
A heavenly place
All a matter of staging
The direction you face
Turn round
Turn round
… turn around

LYRICS
Lost in the jungle
Always in struggle
Trying to find a way home
Deep behind lines
Entangled in vines
Looks like we’re on our own
Under enemy fire
Transpire from dire
Here to cut some slack
I’ll carry you back
Heard your S.O.S.
Saw your distress
Prone to take you home

LYRICS
When looking into the mirror
Does the memory bank read error
Sir, cuts on overload
Memory banks erode

When checking into the facility
Does the neon sign say “know vacancy”
Miss, calculate overload
Memory banks erode

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

LYRICS
Got the world in my scope
World’s at the end of its rope
Under fire from down below
Need the higher with the know
Don’t you think it’s time we go?

Got the world in my sights
See the wrongs and the rights
On fire the burn is slow
Need the higher with the know
Don’t you think it’s time we go?

Got the world in the crosshair
Justify to what is fair
Reign rain let it grow
Need the higher with the know
Don’t you think it’s time we go?

LYRICS
Working on quite content
When I’m next to you
Working on quite content
Enthusiasm won’t relent
’cause you do what it is you do
Your altruism is well spent
The way you do what it is you do
A natural fact
A lifelong pact
One heart
’till death do us part

LYRICS
Some of us won’t back down
When we’re out on a ledge
Some of us will fall down
Going over the edge
And it’s hard to hide
Swallowing your pride
Why not bail the ride
Is it time to turn the tide?

Some of us take the risk
Other’s are wanting to hedge
Risk of stop and frisk
Pushing of the edge
(chorus)

Some of us pay no mind
Other’s way in to judge
Discern and we may find
Going over the edge
(chorus)

LYRICS
Turn it upside down
Turn it inside out
Twist and turn it ’round
Somewhere logic’s found
What’s this life about?
Get up in the morning
Go to sleep at night
Death comes without warning
Mourning is life’s blight
So while I’m able
Take my seat at the table
You can rest assured
My voice will be heard

Turn it inside out
Turn it upside down
Twist and turn it ’round
Somewhere logic’s found
What’s this life about?
Laboring all day long
Hope to see the light
Want to feel alright
Whistle a happy song
So while I’m able
Take my seat at the table
You can rest assured
My voice will be heard

Another day older
A lot more perplexed
You are no bolder
With muscle flexed
Since when did the scene
Turn so mean
Return to the cream
Resurge the dream
Since when did the scene
Turn so mean
Return to the cream
Rising uprising

Another day older
Yet no more wise
Heart growing colder
Still I’m surprised
(chorus)

Another cold shoulder
Shivers my spine
Should I hold her
She’ll feel fine

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Since when did being a good boy
Mean you couldn’t have a fun
Perhaps the temptress of joy is coy
And your reality done
Turning your world upside down
All your silly notions start to drown
How’s it feel
Knocked back on your heel
For real?

Since when did being a good man
Mean you couldn’t get some
Perhaps the temptress of joy is coy
And your reality done
Turning your world upside down
All your silly notions start to drown
How’s it feel
Knocked back on your heel
For real?

Since when did being a wise man
Mean you can’t appear dumb
Perhaps the temptress of joy is coy
And your reality done
Turning your world upside down
All your silly notions start to drown
How’s it feel
Knocked back on your heel
For real?

LYRICS
Thunder Mountain struck a note
At the stroke of midnight
Invoked the remote
Revoked slight to night tonight
Behind the walls darkness falls
Beyond the lulls time calls

On the cliff’s face a stoic feature
Stood out as a sign for sure the future
Stone cold
Rock solid
Without a word spoke
Of the slippery slope
Think bold
Do to did
Stone cold
Rock solid
Wield “I shall not yield”

Behind the walls darkness falls
Beyond the lulls time calls

LYRICS
If it only wasn’t for that one wiggling worm
Then, turned from one more
Into a swarm
It might be a tad too late
To get out the swatter
The cake you baked in fate
Was foul since the batter
That one wiggling worm
That one bad apple
Humanity damned in scorn
That one bad apple
Now for sure
Rotten to the core

LYRICS
The overgrowth you’re fearing
I’ll meet you in the clearing
A beginning is nearing
Soon
The overbearing feeling
Sends real-ing reeling
I’ll bring you mental healing
Soon
Rise above the ruin
No matter what you’re doin’
We’ll play a different tune
Real soon (See you soon / None to soon)

The overgrowth’s ensnaring
Tender love and caring
The beginning is nearing
Soon
The overwhelming feeling
Sends real-ing reeling
I’ll meet you in the clearing
Soon
Rise above the ruin
No matter what you’re doin’
We’ll play a different tune
Real soon (See you soon / None to soon)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Take a little off the top
And give it to the bottom
Pretty soon, it all turns rotten
It all gets squishy along the soft underbelly
Remove the grasp from the throat
Less, alas
You feel the heart
Bet to the beat of your heartbeat
Or set yourself free
For eternity
Your entirety
Free

In a give and take relationship
The more one gives, the less one need take
The lessons… take
Be the seed of be
Being the being
Being the bean
Being the seed
