Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The first year that went by
I was too young to know why
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Grew into a young lad
Growing older made me glad
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Years of ten were lean and mean
A fertility machine
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Had a wife and had my kids
The best thing I ever did
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Now that I’m growing old
A different story to be told
Year after year (after year after year…)
Memories to hold dear
Never in fear
“The End” draws near

Wanna make a bet
It ain’t over yet
They still have got to bring

To the grave no regret
Life saved! Not dead yet

LYRICS
Say, hey… what’s up with all the bad “knews”?
(I knew them yesterday)
They say
“Another passing on the way”
And it’s too shocking to me
Did you see?
Laid to rest
(Not for the best)
Too today
Take the cues
(Without clues)
Singing the blues

Say, hey… what’s up with all the “6-feet-deep”?
Doing the macabre dance
Reaper creep
Oh, no it’s not for the best
Any day
Laid to rest
(Not for the best)
Too today
Take the cues
(Without clues)
Singing the blues

Oh, no did you know another friend
Reached “The End”
Ohhhhh, how I hope we meet again
Up beyond the sky so blue
Making music for you
Laid to rest
Playing with the best
… in The End

LYRICS
There’s one for me
And, two for you?
Sum and then some
Wonder how come?
There’s one for me
And, two for you
Starting to see
Just how it’ll be
Sum and then some
Wonder how come?
Some sum

Day upon day
Year upon year
Time grows shorter
And so we fear
“Upon a time….”
Or so they say
The last quarter
Is under way
Sum and less some
Wonder how come?
Some sum

Upon “The End”
The rules won’t bend
Then, all shall see
Equal will be
Equal we’ll be
Kingdom has come
Some sum

LYRICS
I’m glad you made it
Glad you finally made it
To the show
Glad to watch you fade
Made the fade
Into the know
Yearn to learn by experimentation
Add curiosity stimulation
Mix the fix with fascinization

If you were expecting
Except an intermission
Your inner-mission
Face-to-face with outer space
(chorus)

The End. Please come again (again)
Until then… it’s time to begin
(chorus)

From The Book Of Daneil

The King Who Exalts Himself
Daniel 11:36 “The president will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every head-of-state and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of walls

Daniel 12 “The End Of Times”

LYRICS
What do you suppose
Is in those?
What do you propose
To do, too?
Who would have choose
Those?
Now it has arose
What to do?

Fancy is the feast
Last Supper. The Beast.
Can you tell me at least?

665 lucky to be alive
Lucky, to be the 1 / one / won
(In slips 666)

LYRICS
What we need
Now
Perhaps
More than ever
Is education
Knowledge
Stimulization
Of wisdom
On our final page
A sage
The End
[sage-like interlude]
If it’s not too late
To procrastinate
For a sage
In the “age 2”
Of too
To too
Too — me and you
2 — me and you
The age
When knowledge
Reckon
Turn the page

LYRICS
Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Keep it low on strife
Keep it high ’round the bend
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

Searching for the part
Where does it start
Getting a little skittish
’bout finding the finish
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

LYRICS
Can anyone tell me
What this is?
Entertainment
… some sort-of show biz?
Can anybody tell me
Is this the show?
Can somebody tell me
I want to know
Somehow
I thought there’d be more
Than Sodom and Gomorrah
Alt-right and spite
Blood and gore
If I might…
If it’s alright
… I thought I might
Write
… a better ending:
Love and the message sending
If complete, something sweet
You join in, too?
The End

Hey, the final countdown?
Say, it’s coming ’round?
Hey, the final countdown?
Say, is it going ’round?
If we’re all going up
See opportunity
And raise our cup
If we’re all going up
Seize opportunity
And raise our cup

Wait! You have to wait
Wait! Please hesitate

No! I don’t want to go
Know I don’t want to go
So, the message they send
Whoa! It’s The End

LYRICS
They say that our day
Is only a heartbeat
Only a heartbeat
Away
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

They say that our age
Is more than a heartbeat
A collective heartbeat
Play on the world stage
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

They say that our way
Could be the last heartbeat
Be the last heartbeat
Frolic in the foray
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

They say our heartbeating
Is our only heartbeat
Only our heartbeat
And could be fleeting
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

I thought things
Couldn’t get any better
Than what they were
Amazings
Doing the go get ‘er
Ends up a blur
Because just like that
I could be splat
Never forget
Windscreen on the bonnet
And I the fly
The fly in I
Can’t yield to the windshield
The windshield will not yield

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s not really the fall
It’s not really the fall at all
The descent from the top
Doesn’t hurt at all
In The End, it’s the sudden stop!

When you hear the thunder roll
Know you’re not lightning’s toll
It’s not the loud clap of the cloud
It’s that bolt that gives the jolt

Never tire of hearing a screeching tire
Unless at last, it ends with a crash
When you call this a near miss
Experience bliss

Will the power devour?
Our chances are…
Our chances our are chances
Advice: think twice
Before doing rain dances

LYRICS
Alright
It starts off nice and calm
… when we’re still in love

I thought you said you’d love me
You’d love me till The End
And, then…
It was The End

Things are looking brighter now
And, I know somehow
I’ll find my way out of here
I’ll find my way clear

You said you’d never go
Now, I know
It’s time to go

No blood and guts?
You’ve gone nuts
There’s enough blood and guts
You’ve gone nuts
