bookmark_borderReaper’s Scythe

LYRICS
Was it Job or Leviticus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time to cry n’ fuss
Squeeze the puss… scream and kick

The Reaper’s sickle
Reaping quicker
Isn’t that fickle
Ripping quicker, quicker
Ripping sicker quicker

Was it Moses or Jesus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time for all of us
To refuse to be then next brick
And it’s just as well
If you cast the spell
Upon you
The spawn of demon’s hell
Angels fell
’cause of you

bookmark_borderStep It Up (Work!)

LYRICS
Step by step by step
Going up. Going down.
Work! The product of the force applied to move
(Is it work to groove?)
Work! Measure the height, right? Right!
Don’t be a dope and measure the slope
After all, moving forward is no work at all
Step by step by step
Going up. Going down.
Power! Am I dumb…
Power… the rate work is done?
Come on! Let’s have some
What? Watt! What? What!
Is it plain the plane requires less work…
Or, am I just being a jerk?
What if I’m to climb two steps at a time
Or better yet I get to go down
Is there any work to be found?
Can I get gravity to do it for me?
Let’s see…
Step by step by step
Going up. Going down.

LYRICS
If they try to know you down
Push you all around
Get up off the ground
Let the force be found

May the force be with you
Leveling perspective — view
May the worse be behind
So, the peace you can find
So, the piece you may find
The solution to your puzzle
On life’s juice chug n’ guzzle

The POW Our.mp3

LYRICS
In the hour of power
Our power
All that came before that was sour
In that final hour
She said, she will show LOVE

Shinning down from above

She, who holds the key
In the final hour
In the hour of power
We’ll find out our

Our punishment or reward

If you want to be under the shower
Of Her LOVE
Then, have faith in above

She said, I didn’t denounce her name
I loved Her all the same
And, in the reflection of the image
She’s been showering Love back again

Didn’t let her name go down in vain

Hour of power
Our final hour
Some may say it’s judgement day
Eventually everybody will find their way

When you get to your Baptism
Will it be Psalms and hymns
Or Brimstone and Satin
On your Judgement Day?

LYRICS
Now it’s time to go to sleep. Good night.
Go to sleep
Now it’s time to dream of dreams
See scenes from realms seldom seen

Sleep comes creepin’ in
The day-life ends just in time for the night’s to begin

Now it’s time to search real deep
Not it’s time to dream a scene
Of the future… what is yet to come
The Age Grandeur when we come together… become
The Age Grandeur when we come together
In the nether

LYRICS
In the day when the overlords overshadow
These are the days the overlords overthrow themselves
Stripping himself naked of pride and wealth

In the day when Hubris meets Nemesis
They eat themselves leaving us (innocent and righteous)
From chasing their own tail… to The End of the tale

CHORUS
Overlord overload
Under the weight of their own hoard
Overlord overload
Under the wait of the director’s board

In the day when Earth is inherited by the meek
These are days when love shall speak
Cloaking Herself naked with the pride of nature’s hide

Psalm 37
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.

Matthew 5
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
