LYRICS
The scene I’m seeing — extreme
Obscene… we’d let it get to this point
Whose regret… the point of no return

Polar vortex hex on the East
Brave the heat wave on the West
At least…
Someone suggest, “Try our best!”

From what I’ve seen — extreme
I mean… talk about a butt joint
Someone shout, “Before the edge, turn!”

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about extreme weather events and human induced climate change. The day it was written and recorded the East and West coasts of the USA where acting bi-polar. The East was getting hammered with a snowstorm and polar vortex… while the West was on fire in a heat wave.

Chords — Em Em7

Daniel — Vocals, Electric Guitar, Synthesizers

Written and recorded in West Chester, PA, USA.

From the album In that case….

Dead Babies In Syria

LYRICS
An abominable snowman
Part creature… part man
The part abominable
Most probable
Man
Abominable… causing moral revulsion
Diversion, subversion, exclusion

Time for the inclusion solution
Let’s hope humanity can bounce back
After our ethical attack

Pushed ourselves over the cliff
Mostly over a religious riff
The penalty… swift and stiff
Time to be humble
Overcome our bumble

Do what counts
Do the bumble bounce

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — F# / G

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar, Synthesizers (All instruments played simultaneously and extemporaneously.)

“Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world today and this evening we think especially of the Middle East, especially of Egypt, Iraq and Syria,” The Archbishop of Canterbury, Christmas, 2013

This song was inspired by the travesty of religious conflicts and killings during 2013. Unfortunately, the list is too long to list… Shiite, Sunni, Armenians, Christian, Buddhists, Dinka, Nuer, Beni Hussein, Rizeigat, Jews, Muslims… in Syria, Israel, Burma, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq… and on and on. Let’s pray we can bounce back.

From the album Miss Christmas and part of the on-going Christmas Music Experiment.

LYRICS
What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
They’ll likely realize
You’ll lose the element of surprise

What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
You’ll have missed the moment to seize
So, pleeeeeeeeeease

What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
An activist
Will have turned pacifist
Lack of action
Due to procrastination

LYRICS
If they try to know you down
Push you all around
Get up off the ground
Let the force be found

May the force be with you
Leveling perspective — view
May the worse be behind
So, the peace you can find
So, the piece you may find
The solution to your puzzle
On life’s juice chug n’ guzzle

LYRICS
Hey, hey, Mama!

Come and take my hand
If you want to understand
Do you want to take a stroll
And, get to know rock n’ roll?

Come to understand
The land…
Of music
Make it dense
Make it thick

(Wanna a whole lotta love? reprise)

Do you want to take a stroll
Through the land of rock and roll
Do you want to get through to the other side?
Then, let’s take a ride
Let’s ride the tide
On the crest of the wave
Soundwave

That’s a good way to stave off starvation of your soul
With rock n’ roll

LYRICS
A song… that when we play
Everyone will say,
“There’s a sing along song!”

I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance….

I want a song… sing along
One that they’ll say,
“Hey, there’s a sing along song”
I want a song that we can all sing along
We can whistle away

(whistle)

Hey! There’s a sing along song
Hey, there’s that sing along song

You can swing and dance
While you have the chance
To have the time as a being
For the time being
For the time that you have the time as a being
For the time being

(guitar solo)

While you have the time….
As a being
For the time being
Hey! There’s that sing along song
Hey, did you hear them say, “There’s that sing along song!”

I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance
They say, “Hey, there’s that sing along song.”

I want a song we can sing along
One we can sing all day
I want a song we can sing along

What about you? I know that I’m

We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

For the time I’m here
I wanna get clear
What is good

Come on now, everybody knows
At least they should

We could try, we could
You know we could

We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

So, what do you think…?

And, say that “I’m”

LYRICS
Where do you find beauty?
Is it in your comfort?
If you seek you must confront,
The demons in your body

Chorus
What the heck…
I see it in the crape of your neck
Down the small of your back
… and back
Are you sensitive behind your knee
… let’s see
Can I find your soul
In your sole?

Bathing in the light
Basking at the sight
How do I find beauty
Let me count the ways
With this view that I see
We could be here for days

LYRICS
Maybe for you it’s numbers
Maybe for you it’s the day of the week
The month or the day
Or the year
The year of the snake
The year of the monkey
Maybe you can see sound
Chromesthesia

Chromesthesia

What if I could hear what you could see
What if you could see what I could hear
Well, we can
And, it’s coming in clear
Just got to tap into the part of the brain
Not insane at the membrane

You can see what you can hear
Chromesthesia

Maybe you’ve got to do a spinal tap
Or some sort-of Buddhist chant
Or maybe you can connect
Just like that

’cause you can see what I hear
And, it’s coming in clear
Sometimes like lines
Other times like fireworks
Sometimes like lines
No one is quite sure how it works
Chromesthesia

Neurological miracle

Here we go
Like a rainbow

LYRICS
They say, they say
We’re out of the Golden Age
We’re past the Uranium Age
We’ve entered the Plutonium Age

Say, say what do you say?

Even after generation upon generation upon generation
Upon sage upon sage upon sage
We rolled out of the Golden age

“You are now leaving the Golden Age”
How will you ever manage?

They say we’re leaving the Golden Age
Going past the Uranium Age
Must be in the Plutonium Age
A nuclear nightmare
Stay clear

I guess we’ve left the Golden Age… left it far behind
The how to be kind kind
The kind of kind that would mind
Do you find that you mind
All the things that society brings

I guess we’ve left the Golden Age
Entering the time of severe rage
Let our animal instincts think
And, we don’t mind not being kind

Acting like a mean old junk yard dog
Acting like a hog
Acting like a junk yard dog
Howling at the moon
None too soon, we’ll be left howling at the moon

They say we’ve left the Golden Age
At the nucleus, we’ve turned nuclear
Exactly as we did fear
Time to wear military gear
Now, your task
Get a gas mask
They’ll be dropping bombs
Sending you flying to your tomb

Don’t want that coming too soon
Just howling at the moon

Conquer our strife
Keep evil at bay

You can believe in what you want to believe in
As long as your believe
Or else you’ll be *it*
A hypocrite

Do you have faith in what you believe
Then you’d better believe
You better believe in what you believe
Or that’s it
You’re the hypocrite

Do you want to believe in yourself
Then, go right ahead
As long as you believe in what you believe
Do you want to believe in God Almighty above
Then, go ahead
As long as you believe in what you believe
’cause there is this universal love
As long as you believe

Whether you want to believe it’s God above
Or, you believe it’s in your heart
As long as you start
Believe in what you believe

Let’s believe
We can relieve
The pain and suffering
Letting the love in
If you believe

You can believe in what you want to believe in
As long as your believe
We can believe if you believe
In the power of love

Jesus vampire…
Upon your empire?

Somewhere along the line
People thought it would be just fine
To claim it as their own
(The Martyr’s throne)

Like the Pope’s empire
Built on Jesus The Vampire

Once you’re a vampire
You can’t retire

Nails through the hands and feet
Step right this way and get your seat
Get your fill on Calvary Hill

A vampire Jesus just for us
Christ the Lord has risen today
Hallelujah
Hell-elujah

Higher!
Take us higher
Jesus vampire
Show us the glory of all
Tell us the story
Of the good
And, how we could and should

Jesus vampire
Take us higher

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Em Em7 Em7(11) A

The song was inspired by a conversation with my son, the vampire slayer, on Good Friday.

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.

John 2:22
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

“Vampire Definition — Among the Romani people, mullo (literally one who is dead) are believed to return from the dead….”
