LYRICS
Can’t really miss

Can’t really miss with an opportunity such as this
Could be once in a lifetime
Prospecting the goldmine
It’s about time you get your nugget

Looks like it’s your lucky day… wouldn’t ya say?
From the lion’s paw pull the thorn
Get yourself re-born

LYRICS
If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

“General Population reporting for duty, Sir.
From my naivety you may infer!”

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not on my leg using your urine
Not through some giant money siphon
More like firin’ up the horizon
The enlighten siren

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not the ice that’s crashing into the sea
Not the smog foggin’ up what I see
Not ozone in the wind a blowin’
Not ebola in the gut growin’
You’d think these would all make a fine sign
Nooooo… we pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
We’re taking the free trial of denial for certain

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

Where idiots dictate as hypocrite

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
To your birth on Earth
The fools are king-of-the-hill
Where there’s motivation, they’ll kill

Oh my God! Down this path do we plod?
Blind leading blind leading unkind leading unkind

For heaven’s sake! Don’t we know what’s at stake
If at the wheel, we could only stay awake

LYRICS
Putting what’s right in the light
Can’t say black’s in the gray
Doing harm out of spite
Frolic about as we may
… as we might

Don’t go “But, what do I know?”
We know what’s wrong and right
Don’t go “But, what do I know?”
We know the essence of difference

Yielding daylight contrasting night
Providing freedom for us to say
Giving justly without slight
Thankful for each and every day

LYRICS
It’s the matter of “is”

There I was just sitting… minding my own business
When the voice from above spoke to me
“Why would anyone want tranquility?”

There’d be no satisfaction in habitation
There’d be no thrill in the strive to stay alive
Just try to not let the thrill overspill and kill

How can I stay sitting in the business of success
Balancing the scale between worthless and excess
On this day, I heard Her say to me
“You know my availability?”
I’m aware you’re always there
“Record this for all posterity”
I won’t rest ’till I do my best

God bless the world… we sure need some
A dressing of Christmas blessing
For all men

The play has begun. The work is done.
A confessing and a blessing
For all men

God save the scene. It’s grown to mean.
A blessing of peace and understanding
For all men

The play has begun. The curtain hung.
The Age of the “world is a stage”
For all men

What you grow long could get cut short
Live life all along before your abort

No matter your circumstance
You can see it through
Yes splatter your conscious
Just like the morning dew

Sunset scene seen threw [sic] to the sunrise
Arise children of the sun — surmise

Is the end of your beginning the beginning of your end
In the long run, what message will your dust send?

Like the night before Christmas… quite as a mouse
Or Halloween… when the dead rose

When you’re thinkin’ ’bout me, I wonder what you know
Do you think clearly? Is that not Possible? No?
