LYRICS
I knew you wouldn’t go far
Right there you are
Just the kind of friend
I want to have to The End
Inspect respect
To see loyalty
To mutually understand
Your fellow man…
How does man stand
Nest to man’s best friend?

LYRICS
Did you see what they did
Unrest of the hid
Awoke the dead they did
Now choose who do you lose?
Turning into lover’s leap
Getting deep
The start of “The End”
Beyond the last bend
Until the will of the living amend
(Can I get an Amend?)

All the kids scream
“It feels like Halloween!”
Be the devil, king and queen
Blackjack or floor thirteen
IN the dark or in the seen
Cast a light… be a beam
Upon the scene
Up on the scene
Halloween
Trick or treat to the beat

LYRICS
There’s a space
Between the doors
Does no one care
Any more
There’s no space
Up on the floors
Does someone care
Any more

Every name of the dead
Shall be read
At least,
If you’re name is said
Not the beast
666 fix
777
Gone to heaven

Quite contrary
Fence around a cemetery
People are just dying to get in
The End
Where we begin

LYRICS
What shall we do
The morning dew
Is due
To be through
Put to an End
A tragic send

What can we say
The midday sway
Gone away
I heard it said
“Put to bed”
[Instrumental Break]

What did we do
The nighttime view
Obscured blurred
A mar on far
To close to home
Soon left alone

bookmark_borderBorrowed Verse

LYRICS
Maybe I should just borrow a verse
From a parallel universe
A place where they shake-off the hate
And throw the glow of heavenly love

Embrace the human race
Leave bias without a trace
Let everybody’s heart beat true
May that include me and you

An unrehearsed second verse
… the same parallel universe
A place where they shed off the dread
Live life to the fullest ’till they’re dead

Well, it’s come time for the final verse
… from a parallel universe
Before our times come to The End
What’s the message that we send?

LYRICS
The beginning is over
The ending has begun
Find a four leaf clover
And let your luck run
Choose your poison
Let’s have some fun
Better reason
Then the barrel of a gun

The End is starting
The beginning is done
Find a penny shinning
And let your luck run
Choose your poison
Let’s have some fun
Better reason
Then the barrel of a gun

The End is starting
The beginning is done
Before our departing
Let your luck run, run
Choose your poison
Let’s have some fun
Better reason
Then the barrel of a gun

LYRICS
Don’t let the sand slip through hourglass
In “The End” it’s up to you
How times pass
… into the past
In the balance, doom and gloom
Versus being prepared
If you’ve dared
Is your list at risk?
For sure, the future is present
… in our presence

LYRICS
Damn! In them thar hills
Lays the cure for all that ills
Going to make that mine all mine
From now till The End of Time
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

Do you know what I mean?
Their grass is (always) more green
So, I’m going to search for gold
Till I grow tired, weary, and old
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

Well, what have we…
What have we…
What have we here

When my innards get out

When there is no doubt
About the thickness of my skin
After “The End” begins
It gets late for realizing
Life is surprising
Take it

LYRICS
In The End
It’s the living that kills you
The heartbeat beats you
And the voodoo habits of “do”
Not if… a matter of when
Then,
In The End
It’s the living that kills you
After all,
It’s not the fall
In fact,
It’s the impact
Might as well ride
What is inside
In The End
What it’s all about
Comes out

Synapse sings
Synchronicity brings
Heartbeat pings

For the love of man
Try to understand

In the thick of things
Alarm bell rings
Serendipity brings
Heartbeat pings

Emotions are thick
Time to think quick
Choice is of the pick
Make the logic stick

LYRICS
There’s one thing in life that’s for sure
You’ve got to love love…
And all that’s in store
Never know when you’ll hit the floor
Soon you’ll be knocking on heaven’s door
Just like that
Right back for more

Dear God,
I pray you recycle
Don’t want to be Gabriel or Michael
A highfalutin angel or laudy daudy
I want flesh and bone… give me a body
Same as before
Just like that
Right back for more

Appreciate what I’ve been given
But, I can’t get enough of this living
Never bored to death nor to die for
Not “The End”… to be continued… another door
Just like that
Right back for more
Just like that….
