LYRICS
Damn, Notre Dame damned
Hell’s fire on the spire
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Pour on water
Poor on water
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Dire! Dire! Dire!
Situation
Damnation
Scorn of the crown of thorn
Sear Mother dear
Will the smoke clear?
When the smoke clears
Our eye’s realize our fears
Our greatest fear
Crown of thorn burn
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Pour on water
Poor on water
The deadliest sin… burnin’!
Crucifix Phoenix
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
In France, flames dance
Gargoyles frown
The deadliest sin… burnin’
Fire flarin’ higher
Transpire to dire
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Pour on water
Poor on water
All shout:
“Put it out!”
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Pour on water
Poor on water

LYRICS
Caped crusader
Man of steel
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
The crime of the century
Maybe all of history
A vast conspiracy
In need of repeal
What’s the deal
… the real deal?

To whom do you cater
Where’s your corporate seal
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
(chorus)

No heroes till later?
Wait for the feel?
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
(chorus)

LYRICS
Ready. Steady. Know.
Let’s go
Enough to and fro
I want to know
Can we go?
All day long
Sad song
Right turn? No wrong
Left weak now strong
For how long?
I can’t wait
Tempt fate
Can’t hesitate
No! Can’t be late
It’s our date
Rust on vine
It’s time
Now/then combine
Tomorrow’s line (a fine line in time)
Now’s the time

LYRICS
The wicked get no rest
The crooked sins ingest
Bring angels! Think it’s best
You profess — the word is yes

Find evil’s creeping in
The shadow is hoverin’
Bring angels! Think it’s best
I profess — the word is yes

The bad, bad ole boys
Gun for fun deadly toys
Bring angels! Think it’s best
We profess — the word is yes

Black widow venomous
Enough to kill all of us
Bring angels! Think it’s best
Us profess — the word is yes

LYRICS
Try to steer clear of the fear
Try to steer near to the dear
Reality will appear
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Try to steer clear of the rear
Try to steer near to the hear/here
the sound will adhere
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Try to steer clear of the jeer
Try to steer near to the “we’re”
Unity cohere
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Try to steer clear of the sear
Try to steer near to our sphere
In the atmosphere
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Here we go again
Jump in
Cross into begin

At the starting line
Getting ready to make time
When you hear the gun
Start to run… run!
Lurch off or you perch
Hit the ground runnin’
Finesse is stunnin’

Just in time the finish line
Let your glory shine
Omen of a showman
Call “curtain”

Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
Though if I chose
Avoid the woes / whoas
Of segmentation
Generalization
Invalidation
Segmentation
Damn damnation

Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
I’ve got 10 toes
Eyes and a nose
What segmentation
Of civilization
Regurgitation

Damn damnation

Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
Is it my clothes
Or the wind blows…
Your imagination
To segmentation
Invalidation

LYRICS
Open up your store some more
Swing wide a door / adore
The story of your inventory
The glory of the body (you embody)

What lurks in your works
What do you mean “ghost in the machine”?

[Jam]

Unlock the lock to your stock
Out of the closet under your drawers

Set sail to unveil
Make certain “behind the curtain”

LYRICS
Only halfhearted is sometimes
Can’t get started with his rhymes
Whines he’s fallen on hard times
What’s he going to do
If he can’t think of something “knew”
Rocking for good times
Nickles and dimes
For paying my dues
For playing the blues

Afraid to give it his all
Afraid he’s going to fall
Stammer and stutters to stall
What’s he going to do
If he can’t think of something “knew”
Rocking for good times
Nickles and dimes
For paying my dues
For playing the blues

Going full throttle at all time
Strumming rhythms, spitting rhymes
Signs we’re coming on good times
Knowing what to do
Thinking of something “knew”
Rocking for good times
Nickles and dimes
For paying my dues
For playing the blues

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
My mama said
To get things done
Just forget about #1

Don’t look over your shoulder
Take the leap of being bolder

Once You’re out in the lead
Don’t look back and concede

Once you get all into hubris
That’s when you find nemesis

Follow your passion. Follow your dream
To the top you’ll rise like cream

In the morning, jump out of bed
Follow those dreams while they’re still in your head

LYRICS
Before I could twitch
To scratch that itch
Son of a bitch
Flood of blood
Now what can I do
To subdue
I’m begging you
Stop the flow
Before I go
Shout
Down and out, out, out
Do an about
Before it’s too late
And, I’m “the late”
(Before I’m “late”)
Ohhhh please wait
Can’t bear the weight
Help me out
Shout
Down and out, out, out
Do an about
Before it’s too late
And, I’m “the late (Mr.________)”

Raise my hands
I’d love to say
Thank you for the day
Praise the lands
Sound and sight
Thank you for the night
I’ll find my way
Left for right
Hear what you say
Don’t be so uptight

Thank you for the day
Come to find
Shinning light
Thank you for insight

LYRICS
Hard to believe
It’s hard to conceive
That far outside
The ride
You’re in
Where to begin
How to unhide?
Inside your hide
Where “you” reside
Is where the answers lie
Be kind to your mind
It’s easy to find
About letting it out
All about
Got to let it out
