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
When I look into their faces
I can see the traces
Of peace, love and harmony (sweet harmony)

When I feel I’m in their places
Empathy overrides races
There’s peace, love and harmony (sweet harmony)

When I look into their eyes
Quite often there’s a surprise
Give peace, love and harmony (sweet harmony)

When a child smiles God gives praise
Let’s see how many smiles we raise
With peace, love and harmony (meet harmony)

LYRICS
Are you afraid to open your door
See people hurting like never before
Are you afraid to answer the phone
Hear the moan become a constant drone

Are you afraid to show your face
Tired of being made a public disgrace
Are you afraid to communicate
The wrong way on a one-way
Bombarded with hate, hate, thate

Then, please don’t hesitate
To call on God. Let Her mediate.

The place is here. The time is now.
Believe She’ll hear… She does somehow

God’s good grace. The mercy upon you.
Redeem your scene to heavenly… see!

Why not fear not?

Human Sacrifice
Human Sacrifice

LYRICS
Have you heard what they did?
Marched her up a pyramid
’till they screamed for more
Split her skin wide open
Exposing blood and gore

Have you heard what they’ve done?
Locked her in a dungeon
Brought the dragon in
Disgracing the glen
With disdain and sin

Have you heard what they do?
Please take upon my peace pipe
Lit with magic stick
and, offer it, offer it, offer it up a bit

Sacrament
Sacrifice
You decide which is right
Sacrament
Will suffice
In shedding the light

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 2
E / B
E / B / G / A / E
E / G / A / E

Written and recorded on July 16, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

“Human sacrifice was a religious practice characteristic of pre-Columbian Aztec civilization, as well as of other mesoamerican civilizations such as the Maya and the Zapotec.” “Heart-extraction was viewed as a means of liberating the istli and reuniting it with the Sun, as depicted in Codex Magliabechiano, Folio 70 (illustrated in this section), wherein a victim’s transformed heart flies Sunward on a trail of blood.” “The Aztecs would give a series of rituals to unlucky nearby tribesman to be sacrificed with an obsidian knife, and donate their blood to Acolnahuacatl, an Aztec god. When they had known he had finished his drink and he was no longer thirsty, they would end the sacrificing. This ritual would go on for a whole weekend, so as to please the gods.”

A sacrament is “a Rite in which God is uniquely active”

“A calumet is a ceremonial smoking pipe used by some Native American nations. Traditionally it has been smoked to seal a covenant or treaty, or to offer prayers in a religious ceremony.”

LYRICS
What will be your part
When it’s time to depart
What will be the message you send
When you reach your end?

What did you will in your will
Will it serve to help people still
Did you pay off your debt, yet
Let your hair down
Did you care to share your crown
Let it all hang out
Tell the truth what love’s about
Did you care to leave no regret
Or, like an ass
Did you leave nothing behind
Well, it’s not too late
Don’t let another day pass
You can be nice. You can be kind.
Just don’t wait till your post mortem

LYRICS
You! Yes, you.
You’re on the verge of…
[And, I’m realizing
Your victimizing
Puts all on the verge…
We’re on the fringe of violence

Looks like I’ll have to pass you by (sigh!)

Sirens screaming
Distraction leaning
Toward anarchy
A cryin’ shame
We’re to blame
For not takin’ care of our own
Opportunity blown
We crush the lush
Then, try n’ hush
The harm…
Reason for alarm

ABOUT
Written and recorded in April 2012
The original idea came from feeling hatred from another as I watched them pass by in West Chester, PA. The more intelligent part was inspired from feeling love on the streets of Ambler, PA. The one line about taking care of our own is a protest to a Bruce Springsteen… because, we ain’t done a very good job of taking care of humans, have we?

I could see
He saw
But, I still couldn’t be sure
If his behavior
Would be peculiar

Will he steer clear?
The fear of those
Not responsible for their own actions

That is
Ornery omnivore -itis
Causing my selfish-homosapien -ophobia

Let’s turn the nightmare
Into our day’s dream
Anti-Anthropophobia
In a social utopia

bookmark_borderJust Is (Of Peace)

by Daniel Brouse
Inspired by Insanity Humanity (Ain’t That the Truth!)
and the Rev. LeRoy Montana

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
Thrown from their thrones

Flesh and bones?
Nothing weathers
That matters

Is it fine
In this time
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

Perhaps, not that far away
A day
When what is just
Just is

More than chance
That justice
Someday will sway
The balance

PART II

When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

When what is just
Just is

Justice
Someday will sway
The balance

How will I weigh?

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
The one that weathers
Thrown from their thrones
The one that matters
Is not me

Without we
I just am
Without you
Too
Two alones

A family
Better we’d be
Better by far
We already are
Together we way
Together we weigh
Together we may
Without fail
The Scale
Just is
Justice

LYRICS
Lookout for the fallout from the fallout
Bits and pieces falling to the ground
Drips and drabs spilling all about
Killed all the pity in humanity

When we drop a bomb, it won’t be long
’till that butterfly’s wings brings these things
Back near me via the chaos theory

Lookout for the fallout from the fallout
Expectations falling all around
Drips and drabs splattered all about
Filling every nook and cranny of insanity

As the fallout rains down
Our river banks overflow
Causing fallout from our fallout
Now, our disaster chain reaction
Has spiraled out-of-control
Shifting Mother Nature’s position from neutral
Shedding her princess gown
For the garb of the undertaker
We don’t want to come to know
The consequence of our devastation

Chorus:
One and the same,
Why a different name?
One and the same,
Why play a word game?

Verse Lyrics:
Truth is absolute,
There’s no need for you,
To say absolutely true…
There’s no dispute.

Wrong and right,
Are black and white,
Even the blind,
Know how to be kind.

Empty space,
Human waste,
Human race,
Wasted space,
Our species specialty.

Err faux pas,
Redundant superfluous,
Impertinent… ridiculous,
Ohhhh… my goodness!

bookmark_borderTirade (On Parade)

We thought we had it made,
’til Mercury,
Threw it into retrograde.

We thought, “Made in the shade,”
’til everybody,
Spazzed n’ went into — TIRADE!

Poking each other in the eye,
Could we move any further awry?
Promoting attacks,
Or, turning our backs,
What do I care… barely?
Poked In The Eye As long as it’s not me,
That has to die,
Until I’m left standing alone,
Maybe that would bring it home?
The thought,
The idea,
That we’re in this together,
It’s brought,
To be dear,
Left with myself… forever.

Having thought it threw,
I can speak for me,
But, don’t know about you?
I’m afraid,
Of TIRADE!
No… don’t wanna see TIRADE! on parade.
