LYRICS
What will you eat
Trick or treat
Do you believe
In All Saints’ Eve

On this hallowed Halloween

What will be the address of your dress
In the here and now… or, somehow…
Digress
Alas, to the Feast — “Hallowmas”

On this hallowed Halloween

Attain the beatific vision
Maintain the beautiful solution
Education of the institution
Ultimate direct self communication

On this hallowed Halloween

LYRICS
R.I.P.
Rest in peace
Harry Houdini
Let us see
Life’s lease
The world of spirit
All the mortal
Move near it
It is said
We’re closer to the dead

Reveal
The spirit world is real
Let it be seen
On Halloween

The soul in this sole
Was given birth on Earth

A seance sentence
“Our beloved spirit, we bring you gifts from life into death. Commune with us, spirit, and move among us.”
We believe you will hear it

You know it must be going over and over in her head

If she ever comes to realize… what she did
Then, you know it’s gotta be going over and over and over
In her head

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

Over and over again
When you’re livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin

It was so out-of-this-world
That it couldn’t have bee real
I mean… what’s your deal

Over and over and over and over again
Gotta re-live that sin
Until you was it clean
Until you’re void of mean

Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over in your head
For all eternity… long after you’re dead
Do you at least regret what you said?

Until you do you do
Likely, be living it over and over and over again
Gotta rid that sin

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

ABOUT THE SONG

Still the weather can spill a chill
Halloween, Thanksgiving… then, it’s Christmas, again
Did you know they’re already talking snow?

Still the whether-or-not slipknot
come clean with thanks… giving beyond Christmas
Bring out cheer more than once a year
Reindeer and mistletoe… comfort, joy and happiness
Did you know they’re already talking snow?

Eternal Spirit… may you share in it

LYRICS
Perhaps you just awoke in the eye of a Frankenstein storm
Perhaps you did not hear, heed nor take warn
Perhaps you think it’s safe for you to go
Though the vantage is danger, fear NOT clear
But, maybe you think so?

And, I’m starting to wonder
What will become of you
Now that the holidays
Are due

Will you survive
Will you make it through
Please be alive

Thanksgiving’s coming
Christmas, too
Giving way
To a new year

Will you be roaming
Far or near
Will you be lost
Or, will you be here
Thawing the frost

Writing the song at City Hall, Broad and Market, Philadelphia, PA

Did you sleep through the alarm?
Were you anticipating
No Harm?
The world transpiring
While you control
The switch

You didn’t move
You didn’t twitch
You didn’t love
You’re the witch

You didn’t move
You didn’t twitch
You didn’t love
You’re the which

Superstitious .MP3 Download And Lyrics

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written about the superstition and Halloween.

“Halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. It began as a Celtic end-of-summer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. For these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back to the spirit world.” — History.com

“Superstition is a credulous belief or notion, not based on reason, knowledge, or experience. The word is often used pejoratively to refer to folk beliefs deemed irrational. This leads to some superstitions being called “old wives’ tales”. It is also commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, prophecy and spiritual beings, particularly the irrational belief that future events can be influenced or foretold by specific unrelated prior events.

The etymology is from the classical Latin superstitio, literally “a standing over”, hence: “amazement, wonder, dread, especially of the divine or supernatural” The word is attested in the 1st century BC, notably in Cicero, Livy, Ovid, in the meaning of an unreasonable or excessive belief in fear or magic, especially foreign or fantastical ideas. By the 1st century AD, it came to refer to “religious awe, sanctity; a religious rite” more generally.” — Wikipedia.org

Fear It .MP3 Download and Lyrics

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR)

ABOUT THIS SONG
The FDR quote always seemed a little strange to me. After all, what else can you fear? Fear isn’t sweet. Fear isn’t sour. Fear is fear.

Halloween is a time of year when you get to think about fear. If you think about all the frightening things, the thing that should be feared the most is probably human. Humans kill humans. Humans kill their habitat. Maybe we should be a little afraid of what we are doing? Maybe the quote should be “The only thing we have to fear is fear ourself”?

This song kind-of sums up what this project is about —
And many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
— Daniel !2:2

Daniel
Had a dream
Stars would shine
Forever bright
Devil’s zombies
Rule the night
Devils
Evil spell?
Well, Daniel?

The dead
Stand upright
The head
Forever bright
It’s the devil
In you
It’s the devil in me
It’s the D evil
I tell you
De-evil
Me, too

Daniel’s dream
Shine like a beam
Or
Daniel’s dream
Now it’s seen
Sapien’s
Satin

Here is a lo-fi demo of the song. It is one of my favorite cuts for this album. As with most of the songs, it is an extemporaneous recording.
