LYRICS
Hear the whistle blowin’
Feel the train comin’ down the line

The earth does shake
The earth does quake
There’s much at stake
… a locomotive mistake

Who would save the day
If the train’s a runaway
Would you stop and pray
If the train’s a runaway

LYRICS
If you listen real easy
Then maybe
It won’t be so hard
For the chord to be heard

On the wind rides a whisper
The music kissed Her
Before you’re aware
She was already there

On the tide rides a soundwave
The music does save
Before you’re aware
She was already there

LYRICS

If you find the rain falls upon you
Kindly refrain and let it pass through
A journey to the sea is all it’s tryin’ to do
A journey to see is in store for you

If the damn dam holds the water back
Kindly maintain the natural habitat
A journey to the sea is all it’s tryin’ to be
A journey to see is what it’s showing to me

If the mad human wants to piss it all away
May the rains come awash the greed, we pray
A journey to the see will likely set us free
A journey to the see… the ebb, the tide, the flow…
Until we know

LYRICS
Excepting those that are dear
Whatever’s happening here
Is not clear

Pull up a seat and tap your feat
To the beat of a rock n’ roll show
Or better off yet why not get
Next to the stage’s glow

Excepting those that are aware
Whatever’s happening there
Is not clear

Chorus

Excepting those in the know
Hoping we’re not to slow
To get up and go

LYRICS
We’ve been a long time at see
Searchin’ for the land of the free
Then, it finally came to me…
In the presence of intelligence
Be

Can you feel the peace
Hear the harmony
Adrenaline release
Near ecstasy

We’ve been a long time at see
Sailin’ from The End to begin
That’s when it came to me
In the presence of the essence
Be

Chorus

We’ve been a long time at see
Wailin’ to God for mercy
Then, much to Her fancy
It came to be

LYRICS
Where do we go from here
Now that we know what we know
Do you fear or hold dear
The blow of the flow?

All of a sudden the vision is crystal clear
Not a burden of mission… more a seers sear

Are we about to find out
Emergency exit only
Are we about to find doubt
Or the spirit holy?

Chorus

Will the tide roll out
Will the tide roll in
Will we scream and shout
Will we hold it in

(It’ll be no surprise
If you burn through with your I’s)

Not left up to chance

An object in motion is in motion
No, you can’t hold the phone
Time your emotion grabs the notion
We’re in a humanity zone

Why piss and moan?
Worn turn evolution

LYRICS
It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Ya know when you’re ready to go
It would be neighborly and nice
If you’d kindly please think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close

It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Forget about saving face
It’s time to close this case
Please be nice and think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close

It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

LYRICS
Are you crazy
Thinking hazy
Are you out of you mind?

Are you nuts
Brains in butts
To all of logic blind?

Oh my goodness the mental illness
A threat to all mankind
Oh my heavens growing misgivin’s
When rage is all you can find

Does your hatred explode
Grey matter overload
Anger mismanagement
… understatement
As the storm clouds loom
Crash! Bang! Boom!

For crying out loud
Nemesis follows Hubris
Dag nab it! You hellish habit
Ethics and morals amiss

Better be mindful of where I’m bound
Takin’ in a lesson about taking it
Hold still! This might hurt a bit

Better be thankful it wasn’t worse
Coulda ended up in the back of a hearse

Wondering if this life is fair
Ohhhh… I do believe I forgot my fudge
Order in the court. Here comes the Judge.

Toss a maybe our of despair
Is a response even there
Ohhhh… you won’t even budge
Order in the court. Here comes the Judge.

Toss a body into my car
