LYRICS
Sometimes you think you just can’t lose
And other times you just can’t win
Most of the time it’s hard to choose
If karma is related to sin

These times tat we are living in
Give Mother Nature the blues
Wantin’ and wastin’ without hesitation
As though we have no clues

These times
Are ruled by greed
These times
To succeed or secede
These times
War crimes
These times
Crimes of the century
These times
Crimes of eternity

LYRICS
I can see as clear as a blue sky
Hear angels dance on a dropping pin
I can tell the answer to why
It’s time for us to begin

Chorus
Listening to our hearts
Listening to the wind talk
Following through with heart
The talk we talk start to walk

You can see….

We can see….

LYRICS
Is it now?
Is it… now?
Because…
Somehow
I seem to be
Diss…
Disoriented
Because of the scent
I relent
Because… the reality
It can’t be Earth
There’s no humanity
The wrong birth
No humans at all
Neanderthal
Is that all?
Neanderthal
After all
Are they all Neanderthal?

(Overcome the fear with seer)

For a treat
Eat meat
Are they all asleep
Neanderthal
Creep
While you sleep
Creep

(Overcome the fear with seer)

It’s like prehistoric
The mortal sick
Prehistoric
Environmental sick

(Overcome the fear with seer)

Most prehistoric
The solution
Institution?
Prehistoric
Devolution

(Overcome the fear with seer)

I sense
A rinse
So we can get our sense
And know how to flow
Overcome the fear with seer

LYRICS
While under the attack of a hawk
I heard a bluejay say, “Squawk!”
As I looked around…
I found… something fishy… wishy-washy

The mirage of camouflage

All the while your style
Appearing perched on the edge of the ledge
Like you might jump at any moment
But, wait a minute!
You mean…
All the while before a blue-screen
I mean
All the while before a green-screen?

The mirage of camouflage

Gonna call your bluff
On crying “wolf”
Gonna chill your marrow
When you discover you’re really in peril
You’ve become sterile
So much for tomorrow

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded live along the Brandywine Creek between Lenape and Chadds Ford, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. It was inspired by the wildlife and the imminent danger that humans present (in particular due to global warming.) There was a sucker fish lying on the bottom with camouflage that made it look like shadows.

LYRICS
If you just have dessert
How can you have “just dessert”
Becoming a spoiled thing

Chorus
When you hide behind a veil
Don’t you think it’ll pale
In comparison
When you scream to no avail
You’ve come to the end of the rail (trail)
Feel compression

If you fail to inhale
How to compare a breath of fresh air
Becoming a soiled thing

Chorus

It’s hard to find the truth
Born silver spoon in mouth
Delivered a thing… spoiled

In All Saints’ Eve

In the here and now… or, somehow…

LYRICS
Looks like the rule of the sun is done
After all, it’s turning into fall
There’ll be more darkness than light
Looks like the day is ruled by the night

It won’t be long now ’till the Harvest Fest
On the raised praise may we digest

Dear you hear them warn of a winter storm
Said to feature a severe Nor’easter
I’d hat for us to miss this Christmas
Not to get remiss until Easter
The presence of your presence the present
It’s all that need be sent

Did you hear them warn of a global warn
Growing faster — extreme weather disaster

It won’t be long now. All to the Harvest Festival
On the raised praise. Celestial.

LYRICS
On the famine do you feast
Where the most comes from the least
Where the best ends up last
When you don’t eat… it’s a fast

Wondering what I’m in
Feast or famine

The quagmire of the deceased
To the die the die you cast
From the West to the East
The flags runs up the mast
Half-mast!

Wondering what I’m in
Feast or famine

On the weak do you prey
Pray you don’t live to see the day
When at last, first is last
And the future doesn’t turn to past

Wondering what I’m in
Feast or famine

LYRICS
Start with an appetizer… hors d’oeuvres
They say his wife, Mary, was a whore for sure
The first course, of course, Adam and Lilith’s divorce
For dessert… is the priest a child molesting beast?

Dining on food for thought

When we dine, we drink blood for wine
It’s been said… his body is the bread
You’ll be sure to now when it’s time to go
Don’t miss Judas’ goodbye kiss

Dining on food for thought

Pontius washes clean from the scene
Bitter sips of vinegar to the lips
Your hide… from cross to tomb will reside
On the third day, hear them say
“One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns!”

Dining on food for thought… just for fun

Let the dance be found
Turn yourself around
Jump about… shout!
Fun without a doubt
Let the energy out
Dance and sing about
Let the energy in
That’s when you’ll begin

Jump up! Do the double leg kick
Quick! Jump high! Try!

Let the dance be found
Love will abound
Jump up and shout!

Let the synergy out
Our feeling felt
Let the synergy in
Our feelings begin

Jump up! Do the double leg kick
Quick! Jump high! Try!

Look what you’ve done to me
Walking all over my back
Look what you’ve done to me
Spit in my face and a whack

I’ve been here a long, long time
Before any “me, mine or I’m”
Likely I will reside
After your self-genocide

The rise of the human demise
‘less you realize this ain’t no surprise

Look what you’ve done to me
Create pollution as you please
Look what you’ve done to me
Spread disease as you please

Mother Earth will prevail
Even if you insist to fail

The mighty sun has barely begun
To shine Her rays down upon you
While living’s fun, we’ve barely begun
To shine our days… least we can do

Shine! Go on and shine
Feeling fine! Spread it down the line

When life’s undone what have we won
To dine on Her tasty stew
A mix of flavors all rolled into one
Feeling satisfaction when it’s through

Dine! Go on and dine
Feeling fine! Spread it down the line

It seems…
The larger that you are
The harder that you fall
Like falling from far
Thinking you’re so tall

The longer that you mar
Thee deeper the you scar
Like falling from a star
It’s not the fall all-in-all
In fact, it’s the impact

And, dreams…
The more that you desire
To set the world on fire
The more harm you inflict
Careful what wish you pick
In fact, that’s the trick

What are you doing
Constantly putting
How can you eat your meet [sic]
If you’re messing with the pudding?

The time to act is upon us
Feel the vibe? It’s ominous
Track back re-act phenomenon
Retracing like a pendulum

What are you doing
Forgetting giving
How can you keep the beat
If you’re out of step with living

Open eyes but not seeing (Open eyes but still sleeping)
Let’s feed the treat of greet
And meet in the age of loving
