LYRICS
Easy to see
In misery
Longing for how things use to be
Ahhh…
Blue skies
Time flies
Blue skies
Good-byes

Easy to see
In misery
Longing for how things use to be
Ahhh…
Peaceful
Grateful
Until evil

As for me…
Longing for how things use to be

And, I’mmm…. ummm….

People dying
Bombs are dropping
There’s no stopping
Liar!
Cease fire
We’re mired in dire
And believe it or not

When the damn man is demanding

LYRICS
Gone the birds and bees
Farewell life of ease
We’ve fallen… under siege
Under siege
Forced down on our knees
Begging for the keys
We’ve fallen… under siege
Under siege
An inhumane squeeze
No way to appease
We’ve fallen… under siege
Under siege
Trying to starve and freeze
Atrocities as these
We’ve fallen… under siege
Under siege
Everyone sees your sleaze
We’re calling out your siege
Is that you want to be
Besiege
Is that where you want to be
Besiege
Tragedy
Besiege
Travesty
Besiege
The way you be
Be siege

bookmark_borderIf You Believe in God

LYRICS
Feel the onslaught coming
Enter the terror reign
See the forces are bombing
The human error rain
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?

Evils not relenting
Reign of terror remains
See all the rules bending
Beyond moral restrains
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?

The battlelines redrawing
Extend the terror range
At our hearts it’s gnawing
Do you find guilt strange?
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?
Amen
A Men
All men

LYRICS
What’s the answer
So perplexing
Witches’ hexing
Please tell me, sir
A gremlin in charge of the Kremlin
With a narcissist twist
The underground children trembling
Politicians are rambling
A gremlin in charge of the Kremlin
With a narcissist twist
The underground children trembling
With their lives we’re gambling
For Christ’s sake
How much can they take?

Your second lease
Your chance for peace
is within reach
Time, time will tell
If you fare well

In an ocean full of tears

Swimming for sure / shore
Far from the war

To choose romance
Is within reach

For love’s demand
