How to play guitar to *Dike*

LYRICS
Can you take a look
Help me get a grip
Do I have a big fat lip?

Chorus
Been insulted… been assaulted
Victim of Lady Justice
No mate for Goddess Maat
Isis ain’t in this thesis
“If some god has been holding the balance of Dike….”
Imbalance they strike

The Man comes
Knocks you down
Logic runs
Down the drain

Fat Cat’s rats
Mow you down
While the clown
Lost his brain

Chorus

Lady Justice Blindfolded with the Scales
Lady Justice Blindfolded with the Scales

The song is about the justice system. Lady Justice can be traced back to Goddesses Maat, Isis and Dike. The quote is about Goddess Dike.

The personification of justice balancing the scales of truth and fairness dates back to the Goddess Maat, and later Isis, of ancient Egypt. The Hellenic deities Themis and Dike were later goddesses of justice. Themis was the embodiment of divine order, law, and custom, in her aspect as the personification of the divine rightness of law. However, a more direct connection is to Themis’ daughter Dike, who was portrayed carrying scales

“If some god had been holding level the balance of Dike” is a surviving fragment of Bacchylides’s poetry. Ancient Rome adopted the image of a female goddess of justice, which it called Justitia. Since Roman times, Justitia has frequently been depicted carrying scales and a sword, and wearing a blindfold.

LYRICS
The clouds tower
In some sort-of show of power (tower of power)
The sky turns
Majestic purple
The sole yearns
My stomach feels a little ill
… still….

Is it strange
They can’t rhyme with orange
Are they mixing the colors of rage

Will the storm clouds pound
To the ground
Until our reasoning is sound?

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — F# F#M F#7

An extemporaneous 1-track stereo live recording made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The title of the song was inspired by trying to think of words that rhyme with purple… then, reading that “you can’t rhyme” to purple or orange.

It ain’t that funny having no money
It ain’t that kind being cruel
You’re not the honey… rather the fly
Of course we mind being the tool
Acting the fool as you defy (destroy)

In the end, you’ll shine through, and I don’t doubt it

LYRICS
Orion draws his bow
And wouldn’t you know
Ursa Major moves in front of Ursa Minor
With a parental protective instinct
No need to think
I’m realizing
Scorpio rising

The consolation… you’re a constellation
We’re all stars
How bright will you shine
Open my ears
With an angelic refrain so fine
Love came
Within our time

Orion draws his bow
And wouldn’t you know
Canis Major moves in front of Canis Minor
With a parental protective instinct
No need to think
I’m realizing
Scorpio rising

No need to forego Virgo
Like Phoenix flown from flame
You can be born again

LYRICS
There’s something crazy going on
The future turns to present
It’s a Happen

The shape of things to come
Crystallizes
Before my eyes… before our eyes
Will we realize
As we crystallize I

The future turns to present
It’s a Happen
It’s crazy
And, it’s going on

The shape of things to come
Crystallizes
Before our eyes
We realize
All rises

LYRICS
Are you tired of greed and hypocrisy
Are you sick of pollution
Are you tired of need and discrepancy
… sick of exploitation?

Have had enough
Hot air huff and puff
Enough of the small stuff
Have you had enough

Are you ready for deed — independency
Are you set for Destination
Holding steady… seeds of legacy
Paradise’s plantation

Have you had enough
Get off the cuff
Tough in the rough
Get in the buff
Create from raw stuff

Here’s the final solution:
Avoid the final solution

LYRICS
Did you know
God’s all around
Did you know
God’s easily found
Did you know
God does abound

Right before your eyes
You can come to realize
God’s all around

God can be found all around
Did you know
Are you aware
God is everywhere
Did you want to feel an inner peace
An outer peace
Do you want to share everything
Less the dread
(God’s not dead!)

God’s all around
Wanting to be found

Don’t ever let it be said
That you went to bed
Without giving the proper kudos
About the Good News

If you want to see
If you want to be

She’ll be with me
She’ll be with you, too
’cause She’s in plain view
She doesn’t want to hide
She doesn’t want anywhere near the darkside

God’s everywhere
If you declare
God will be there
If you justify
If you testify
I saw Her with my eye

God is here
God is now
No need for “somehow”

For a sure thing
This would be the time
To bring
Make it yours

’cause this is a time for a sure thing

I’d like to take the time to say
This is a good day

If ever there was a time
For a sure thing
Let’s see what we can bring

Let’s get it on
Let’s have begun

Let’s bring everything

If we can raise praise…
Please may we raise the praise

Now, give it up

Give it up
Give it over to the sure
I can see what She can bring
I can see… eternity
I can see we can be

Bring on the sure thing

LYRICS
I look to my right
There’s an angel on my shoulder
Sitting in the light
I look to my left
There’s a devil on the other
But, She ain’t as deft

Chorus
Will it be a battle
Love Vs. Lust
Will it shake n’ rattle
The meaning of must

Then, She says to the angel
“Do you want to fight?”
The angel glows bright in flight
Rising above causing Her to fall

LYRICS
I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

Sure, someday you’ll pay
But, it doesn’t have to be my way
I’m more than happy

The future’s your own destiny
It’s not up to me
Choose your own destiny

I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

There’s no need to be defensive
This is all meant for our own good
If we would have just done what we could
Then we wouldn’t be in the dilemma
A little more Dalai Lama
A little less crusade
Would bring the aid

I’m coming after you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming after you with repentance

Every life comes to an end
Will your soul ascend…
On Judgement Day
When justice comes your way

I’m coming after you
There’s not much you can do
I’m diligent
Not violent
Gotta get the repentance through

LYRICS
If you are living in fear
Thinking the end is near
Let it be forgot
’cause it’s not
But, can’t you see the tragedy
Living in slow, lingering misery

There could come the day when you pray
The End is near
But, for now there’s nothing to fear

So, if we can steer clear
We can see through tragedy
We’ve got to see it
We’ve got to do it
Follow through
Me and you… let’s do!

We can make every day a little brighter
We can make love a little tighter
We can do it if we choose
I don’t think anyone would rather lose?

You know that you are out of touch
Does it bother you much?

For way too long
You’ve been going wrong
(going, going, going, gone)
You’re out of touch

Are you out of touch
Does it bother you much

You sit and rap
You call that rap
You call that crap?
You try to rhyme
But, it doesn’t work… most of the time

You’re out of touch
Way too much
Then, again
Way too often

Check out
Outside of your shell
Out of your living hell

You’re way out of touch
Does it bother you much?

Have you heard the news
You’re giving them the blues
With your lack of comprehension
Your lack of attention
Your lack of satisfaction

You’re out of touch
Does it bother you much?
