LYRICS
Is that right?
I see a shimmering light
As though reflected from the rippling surface off the water of life
Don’t let the surface tension cause strife
Just go with the flow…? Even the water doesn’t know
It just babbles away
Listen to what you say

Alright! Bring on the shimmering light

Let’s see… what will you call your autobiography

A window to see clear

Hmm.. though I don’t know if you can see a black hole
At least you’ll know

Oh dear!
Worse than gory
Please, not at my age
A blank page

No, quite contrary
The number of pages is scary
Notes filled with notes
Enter Title — “Hear”

Glisten at the thought of “listen”
Transpose the word with the tongue of a sword
Cutting
Shutting down the shutting
With wit and cunning

LYRICS
Scary sorcery
Amen or omen
Evil demon
Or getting lucky
Nose twitches
Familiar with witches

The crossing of a path
God’s wrath
Is left to right alright
Scottish or pettish
Celtic mythology
Fairly fairy genealogy
Death by misfortune
Granting favorable times
The stuff of nursery rhymes

Specifically suspected
At the black cat
Omen
Amen

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Em Esus
Dm Em

Serenade / 94 BPM

Written and recorded live in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. Video features a black cat.

The folklore surrounding black cats varies from culture to culture. The Scottish believe that a strange black cat’s arrival to the home signifies prosperity. In Celtic mythology, a fairy known as the Cat Sìth takes the form of a black cat. Black cats are also considered good luck in Japan. Furthermore, it is believed that a lady who owns a black cat will have many suitors. However, in Western history, black cats have often been looked upon as a symbol of evil omens, specifically being suspected of being the familiars of witches, and so most of Europe considers the black cat a symbol of bad luck, especially if one crosses paths with a person, which is believed to be an omen of misfortune and death. In Germany, some believe that black cats crossing a person’s path from right to left, is a bad omen. But from left to right, the cat is granting favorable times.

The black cat in folklore has been able to change into human shape to act as a spy or courier for witches or demons. When the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock, they brought with them a devout faith in the Bible. They also brought a deepening suspicion of anything deemed of the devil and were a deeply suspicious group. They viewed the black cat as a companion, or a familiar to witches. Anyone caught with a black cat would be severely punished or even killed. They viewed the black cat as part demon and part sorcery. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
Sometimes you think you just can’t lose
And other times you just can’t win
Most of the time it’s hard to choose
If karma is related to sin

These times tat we are living in
Give Mother Nature the blues
Wantin’ and wastin’ without hesitation
As though we have no clues

These times
Are ruled by greed
These times
To succeed or secede
These times
War crimes
These times
Crimes of the century
These times
Crimes of eternity

I can see as clear as a blue sky
Hear angels dance on a dropping pin
I can tell the answer to why
It’s time for us to begin

Listening to our hearts
Listening to the wind talk
Following through with heart
The talk we talk start to walk

You can see….

LYRICS
Is it now?
Is it… now?
Because…
Somehow
I seem to be
Diss…
Disoriented
Because of the scent
I relent
Because… the reality
It can’t be Earth
There’s no humanity
The wrong birth
No humans at all
Neanderthal
Is that all?
Neanderthal
After all
Are they all Neanderthal?

(Overcome the fear with seer)

For a treat
Eat meat
Are they all asleep
Neanderthal
Creep
While you sleep
Creep

(Overcome the fear with seer)

It’s like prehistoric
The mortal sick
Prehistoric
Environmental sick

(Overcome the fear with seer)

Most prehistoric
The solution
Institution?
Prehistoric
Devolution

(Overcome the fear with seer)

I sense
A rinse
So we can get our sense
And know how to flow
Overcome the fear with seer

LYRICS
While under the attack of a hawk
I heard a bluejay say, “Squawk!”
As I looked around…
I found… something fishy… wishy-washy

The mirage of camouflage

All the while your style
Appearing perched on the edge of the ledge
Like you might jump at any moment
But, wait a minute!
You mean…
All the while before a blue-screen
I mean
All the while before a green-screen?

The mirage of camouflage

Gonna call your bluff
On crying “wolf”
Gonna chill your marrow
When you discover you’re really in peril
You’ve become sterile
So much for tomorrow

LYRICS
If you just have dessert
How can you have “just dessert”
Becoming a spoiled thing

Chorus
When you hide behind a veil
Don’t you think it’ll pale
In comparison
When you scream to no avail
You’ve come to the end of the rail (trail)
Feel compression

If you fail to inhale
How to compare a breath of fresh air
Becoming a soiled thing

Chorus

It’s hard to find the truth
Born silver spoon in mouth
Delivered a thing… spoiled

What will be the address of your dress
In the here and now… or, somehow…

LYRICS
Looks like the rule of the sun is done
After all, it’s turning into fall
There’ll be more darkness than light
Looks like the day is ruled by the night

It won’t be long now ’till the Harvest Fest
On the raised praise may we digest

Dear you hear them warn of a winter storm
Said to feature a severe Nor’easter
I’d hat for us to miss this Christmas
Not to get remiss until Easter
The presence of your presence the present
It’s all that need be sent

Did you hear them warn of a global warn
Growing faster — extreme weather disaster

It won’t be long now. All to the Harvest Festival
On the raised praise. Celestial.

LYRICS
On the famine do you feast
Where the most comes from the least
Where the best ends up last
When you don’t eat… it’s a fast

Wondering what I’m in
Feast or famine

The quagmire of the deceased
To the die the die you cast
From the West to the East
The flags runs up the mast
Half-mast!

Wondering what I’m in
Feast or famine

On the weak do you prey
Pray you don’t live to see the day
When at last, first is last
And the future doesn’t turn to past

Wondering what I’m in
Feast or famine

LYRICS
Start with an appetizer… hors d’oeuvres
They say his wife, Mary, was a whore for sure
The first course, of course, Adam and Lilith’s divorce
For dessert… is the priest a child molesting beast?

Dining on food for thought

When we dine, we drink blood for wine
It’s been said… his body is the bread
You’ll be sure to now when it’s time to go
Don’t miss Judas’ goodbye kiss

Dining on food for thought

Pontius washes clean from the scene
Bitter sips of vinegar to the lips
Your hide… from cross to tomb will reside
On the third day, hear them say
“One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns!”

Dining on food for thought… just for fun
