LYRICS
Just sitting here
Deserve nothing
So thankful
For what you bring
Just living here
No title to nuttin’
So grateful
For what you bring
So go
In the soul
You know
So go
Overflow
The overflow
… so go with the flow

LYRICS
Don’t ever question it
This is the sh%$! ?
The territory of the authority
Derogatory in authenticity
The gullibility of the citizenry
The obscurity of civility
The ingenuity of humanity
Offering salvation from damnation

Parting of the Seas Disease.mp3
LYRICS
Parting of the seas disease
Do you think you can command God
You’re the boss and She’s on the job?
Oh please,
Parting of the seas disease
Are you sure
You wanna F&$% with Mother nature?
Are you really that special
That you’re the cure-all (for all the ill that ails)
Or just a spiritual sleaze
With parting of the seas disease

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
The way
The night turns to day
Day to night
Night to day
Dawn to dusk
The cycle of lust
Winter solstice
Summer solstice
Equinox
Sly as a fox
In the clothes of sheep
Lion… lamb
Do I know who I am?

LYRICS
Headed out
On a slippery slope
No doubt,
Going to need some hope
Less I look the dope
And, slide where there’s nowhere to hide
Get a hold… cope?
I already tried
Whether it’s decline or incline
I’m inclined
To decline
An invitation to devastation
Holding on tight
With all our might
Hold on long enough
No matter how tough
Everything will be alright

LYRICS
Leave them screaming for some more
Your neighbor
Next door
Your neighbor
Next door
Love thy neighbor
As thy self
Preserve self-wealth
Could be less fancy
Call yourself Nancy
Crowned Dog God
No matter how odd
Better off plowing
Where it’s been snowing
A path to peace
At the very least

LYRICS
The whiteness of the snow, ya know…
Tends to cover the blemish of disaster
Makes one less selfish with the laughter
Are you better off living life
Letting your hourglass sand sieve
Or, giving all you can give
Give of your soul
I want to hear your spirit
Let me hear it
Give of your sole
I want to here your spirit
Come on, here it!
In the sifting sands of man
Doing the best that you can
Forget being a stranger in a distant land
Bring forth your love for all to understand
The cover of the snow, ya know
Let’s the Earth’s spirit grow with glow

LYRICS
The ground underneath my feet
Crunches
If crutches are in your clutches
Won’t help like they could
When watching people clasping
Please help like we should
Instructed to be productive
And, with thy gifts give
Productive to the instructed
Long let quality live

LYRICS
Which way’s the goal
Oh, hell. Noel!
The troll wants a toll
Oh, hell. Noel!
Which way’s the goal
Roundtrip from the north pole
Sleigh bells ring
Children sing
Parents on a shoestring
Pray Santa will bring
Something
Anything

LYRICS
Those dancing feet
Taking over me
Those dancing feet
Obvious to see
Those dancing feet
Take over… complete
Swing your partner round and round
Let your dangle dangle down
They’re such a treat
Your dancing feet
A touch so sweet
Your dancing feet
Keep the beat
Stoke heart’s heat

Krampus The Christmas Demon.mp3
LYRICS
Instead of sugar plum fairies and figs
Your vision could be filled with a fag of twigs
Is Krampus amongst us?
Have you been naughty or nice
If Krampus is amongst us…
Better think twice
It won’t be “all is well”
When he scares out the living hell
Scaring out the devil in us
Krampus
Born with goat’s horn
He’s on his way St. Nicholas Day
In his rusty chain you’ll remain
If you don’t refrain from disdain
ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Dm
G Em
128 beats per minute with a cowboy hoedown groove.
Daniel — Vocals, Keyboards
The song was inspired by an article in the Christian Science Monitor “Is Krampus the Christmas demon becoming too commercial?”
Chains, devil horns, and pitchforks are not things most people associate with the holidays. But for many in the Alpine region of Europe, that’s precisely where Krampus – a half goat, half demon creature, carrying rusty chains and sticks – belongs: in the Christmas season.
Yet some say that the centuries-old European folktale is turning commercial, as Krampus-themed chocolates, decorations, and greeting cards are readily available. Yet at the same time, could he actually be a subversive force for anti-consumerism?
Think of him as the anti-Santa. Krampus – as he is called in his native Austria, though he goes by other names throughout Europe – is St. Nicholas’s helper and his task is to scare small children into being good. On Dec. 6 – the saint’s feast day, or St. Nicholas Day – the pair will dole out chocolates and fruit to good children across Europe, while misbehaving children can expect a punishment instead, usually a bundle of twigs.

LYRICS
March out of the shadows in the night
March into the light
Christian warriors fight the good fight
March out of the gallows without spite
March into the light
And be free
Fight the beast in me
Christian warrior
Fight the beast in me
Christian warrior
Take me to your savior
