LYRICS
Don’t let some alligator
Be an agitator
Don’t let some crocodile
Steal your smile
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

Don’t let some snapping turtle
Prove a hurdle
Don’t let some boa constrictor
Constrict ya
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

Don’t let some rattle snake
Confidence shake
Don’t let some lizard
Curse your wizard
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E G A E

This song was inspired by the angels I’ve been bumping into. Some of them seem to have a severe aversion to serpents. Take it as a tongue-in-cheek metaphor?

“Awesome. Reminded me of Shel Silverstine.” — Matthew Cicchetti

Made in the USA (Lake Wynonah, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

LYRICS
I get so excited when I think it might
Snow Christmas night
And, if I really believe
Maybe Christmas eve

I get so excited when I think we might
Make Hanukkah bright
Let the light relieve
For eight days and a night

I get so excited when I think we might
Get together… unite!
All religions of The Book
Take on the peace look

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — A E7sus4 C#m7 Aadd9 C#dim

Written and recorded December 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. The song is intended to bring people of every religion together. After all, Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in the same God.

Why Don’t Christian’s Celebrate Hanukkah?

And she (virgin Mary) who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her, and We made her and her son a sign for all that exists.
— Chapter Anbiya, verse 91. Holy Koran

And indeed We gave Moses the Scripture, that they may be guided. And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a sign, and We gave them refuge on a high ground, a place of rest, security and flowing streams. And verily this your religion is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me. But they have broken their religion among them into sects.
— Chapter 23 verses 49 50, 52, 53 – Koran

LYRICS
In the day when the overlords overshadow
These are the days the overlords overthrow themselves
Stripping himself naked of pride and wealth

In the day when Hubris meets Nemesis
They eat themselves leaving us (innocent and righteous)
From chasing their own tail… to The End of the tale

CHORUS
Overlord overload
Under the weight of their own hoard
Overlord overload
Under the wait of the director’s board

In the day when Earth is inherited by the meek
These are days when love shall speak
Cloaking Herself naked with the pride of nature’s hide

Psalm 37
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.

Matthew 5
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.

LYRICS
When needed
The Good come together
Combined
Faith in humanity

Then, greeted
By God. All together. Aligned.
Clarity transparency

Spirits drifting together
Arise the tide
Faith from the inside
Washing cruelty out
The angels shout
The stars shine brighter
Then ever before
A the love comes together
Forever more

Making love to love to love to love to love….

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 5
Am less C / Dm
Am less C add G
Em
B

Written and recorded August 22, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It is based on a quote from the Book Of Daniel:

Daniel 12

New International Version (NIV)
The End Times

12 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book —will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”

As you sit and stare
About yourself

Chorus
From them bones
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Gonna rise up

Lookie there
As you go about
Seeking your wealth

ABOUT THE SONG
The song was written and recorded on Independence Mall, Philadelphia and West Chester, Pennsylvania. The words came about due to the fact that I was sitting on top of their bones looking for inspiration. Oh, yeah… and, it has to do with The Book Of Daniel “Many of those whose bodies are dead and buried will rise up….” Zombies, dude… for real.

What do you dread?
A raccoon in (your) bed?
I yelled, “Hey!
What’s going on?”
I thought “Say,
The End is upon?”
Hey! Say,

The Rollover

C / F / Am
Let’s go!
While tomorrow turns to yesterday

Where will you be
When it turns anti-climatic
Where will you be
For the last act
Where will you be
For the curtain call
Where will you be
When the credits scroll

Do you care to be here at all?

How do you think they will get here
Do you think they will fall from the sky
How do you think they will get here
Do you think they will rise from the dust

Will we try
We must
Will we try
We must

Come on
Join the party
Come on
Join the show
Come on
Let’s go

LYRICS AND NOTES

F#m / F

It’s Coming
It’s Coming

Probably to a town near you
Certainly you’re gonna catch a view
Not much you’ll be able to do
Even running

It’s Coming
It’s Coming

Probably we should prepare
So there are more options there
Instead of dumbfoundment and a stupid stare
Start planning

It’s Coming
It’s Coming

Rather than panic and fear
Let’s embrace it as dear
Get the message loud and clear
I’m listening

It’s Coming
It’s Coming

Probably to a town near you
Certainly you’re gonna catch a view
A “head” start is what ya wanna do…
On running
