If You Believe in God

LYRICS
Feel the onslaught coming
Enter the terror reign
See the forces are bombing
The human error rain
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?

Evils not relenting
Reign of terror remains
See all the rules bending
Beyond moral restrains
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?

The battlelines redrawing
Extend the terror range
At our hearts it’s gnawing
Do you find guilt strange?
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?
Amen
A Men
All men
Human

Drums of War

LYRICS
The drums of war
Are growing louder
Chimpanzees
Thump their chests louder
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“No more war!”
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“War no more!”
Wars can cease
Ring in peace
May wars cease
Bring in peace

The guns of war
Are growing louder
Enemies
Keep dry powder
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“No more war!”
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“War no more!”
Wars can cease
Ring in peace
May wars cease
Bring in peace

The pain of war
Is crying louder
Chimpanzees
Could not be prouder
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“No more war!”
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“War no more!”
Wars can cease
Ring in peace
May wars cease
Bring in peace

Out of Here

LYRICS
In case I’m not clear
The time draws near
We’ve got to get out of here

Off base

The way you veer
Please let me steer
We’ve got to get out of here
… gotta get out of here

LYRICS
Chariots of fire
Desire The End
To transpire
Raining hellfire
Higher the trend

How quaint
The picture you paint
Your quest
March to death
Killing time
It’s a crime

To lower the bar
Your goal
Raise the death toll

The Spoils of War

LYRICS
Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
You cast your die
Die is your fate

Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
You’re in too deep
To keep irate

Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
Cut off your nose
to spite your face
Lord knows
Human race disgrace

Far From the War

LYRICS
Your second lease
Your chance for peace
is within reach
Time, time will tell
If you fare well
Reach for the beach
In an ocean full of tears
Terror of worse fears
For what seems years and years
Swimming for sure / shore
Far from the war

Your second chance
To choose romance
Is within reach
Time, time will tell
If you fare well
Reach for the beach
In an ocean full of tears
Terror of worse fears
For what seems years and years
Swimming for sure / shore
Far from the war

Your final stand
For love’s demand
Is within reach
Time, time will tell
If you fare well
Reach for the beach
In an ocean full of tears
Terror of worse fears
For what seems years and years
Swimming for sure / shore
Far from the war

Gremlin in the Kremlin

LYRICS
What’s the answer
So perplexing
Witches’ hexing
Please tell me, sir
A gremlin in charge of the Kremlin
With a narcissist twist
The underground children trembling
Politicians are rambling
A gremlin in charge of the Kremlin
With a narcissist twist
The underground children trembling
With their lives we’re gambling
For Christ’s sake
How much can they take?

You Kraine

LYRICS
You had me right from the get-go
Now it’s time to let go
How it’s time for me to let go
The world’s about to know
Our resistance
The essence
Of presence

You had me right from the get-go
Now it’s time to let go
Want all the world to know?
Uh oh… oh no!
Our resistance
The essence
Of presence

You had me right from the get-go
Now it’s time to let go
Is it time to throw the last blow
Oh oh you know
Our resistance
The essence
Of presence

You’ve Got to Love It

LYRICS
You’ve got to love it
The spirit
The soul
The way they roll
You’ve got to love it
When tyranny is too close to see
And you can’t be
Where you want to be
There’s a thrive
To stay alive

You’ve got to love it
The spirit
The soul
The way they roll
You’ve got to love it
When tragedy is too close to me
And I can’t be
Where I want to be
There’s a thrive
To stay alive

You’ve got to love it
The spirit
The soul
The way they roll
You’ve got to love it
The harmony we can bring to be
Will get us where we need to be
There’s a thrive
To stay alive

LYRICS
Which hunt!
What the #uck?!?!?!
Walks like a duck
Quacks like a duck
What the #uck?!?!?!

Which hunt? Witch hunt? Which witch?
Does a duck float?
Does a witch gloat?
Maybe the idea is not so remote
Which/witch hunt
Put him to the test
At best
If it grabs you by the ¢unt
To be perfectly blunt….
Which hunt
Witch found
But, will anyone come ’round
To claim him… chance’s slim
Thus, God save us

Which hunt? Witch hunt? Which witch?
The one who hangs ’em out to dry?
Hang ’em high!
Wait! News that’s fake

To be perfectly blunt….
Which hunt
Witch found
But, will anyone come ’round
To claim him… chance’s slim
Thus, God save us
Amen
(Please come again)

So, what did he know
When did he know it

With honey catch the fly
Stuck in his own lie

So, can’t say “didn’t know”
When yo knew he did it

Like Nixon’s Watergate
Cast your own fate
With honey catch the fly
Stuck in his own lie

Fall to Flynn’s flimflam
Damn!
With honey catch the fly
Stuck in his own lie

LYRICS
You call this art? Need a blood flowchart
The art of warfare is everywhere
I could sure start with a blood flowchart
Beware of the blood-flow over there
I wouldn’t want you to step in it
It’s worse than stepping in… worse than stepping in… stepping in $hit
The art of warfare is everywhere

A picture’s worth a thousands words
A million words can’t describe the toll of a sole soul
The art of warfare is everywhere
Ya know this ain’t Vincent Van Gogh
We make Picasso look less absurd

The risk to every art critic… you’re gonna get hit
There’s a fan… and, when the $hit gets to it… you’re gonna get hit
The art of warfare is everywhere

Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey.mp3

LYRICS
May I say, happy holiday? Can you tell me, “How do you like your turkey?”
Our recipe for catastrophe:
Now, somehow Moscow resides on both sides
In France, they’re doing the (anti)terror dance
Invoking the Kremlin gremlin
The Kremlin gremlin provoking a turkey basting
Are you telling me I am the delicacy? Noooo… I don’t wanna be in the recipe!
Too many cooks in the kitchen… too many kooks in the kitchen
And, here I am sayin’, “I need a die-a-gram”

All the while up to their ears in Syria diarrhea
Some sick Islamic
Don’t ya think that’ll stink?
Leave it up to their fears in Syria diarrhea
You ISIS? I is not ISIS
No Boca Raton killing marathon
While Al-Shabaab rape n’ rob
Run as fast as you can from the Taliban
Oh my gawd! No Jihad
Please read the Qur’an agin’
Is that what is meant? The Qur’an is based on the New Testament… which is based on the Old Testament. We’re all on top of the same base-meant.
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

The Saudi’s out of Yemen
Can I get an Amen?
They ran from Iran
More than a crack in Iraq
Now who’s gettin’ in
Na, na, na not China
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

What’s left of the leftovers? What’s the deal with this holiday meal? I’ve been rooked… the turkey’s over-cooked! What else can I say on Thanksgiving Day?

Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey

LYRICS
Hard to believe the pace
Of our latest arms race
Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan
Not really sure which wars we’re in?
Ukraine, Syria, Iran…
You reign? Seriously, I ran

Where to begin….
Russia rushing in
For crying out loud
While all the while Putin actin’ proud
Crimea Annexation
Cry me a river (exasperation!)

Unbelievable human race
Gonna leave us without a trace
Spreading like Malaria in Nigeria
I’s is in hysteria
Isis and Boko Haram
Teenage hostage harem

A          Em
Absolutely nothing..Listen to me..

#1.
Em
War! I despise! Because it means destruction
   Dm       Em
of innocent lives.
Em                  Dm                    Em
War! Means tears to thousands of mother's eyes,
                                Dm         Em
when their sons go to fight and lose their lives.

CHORUS:

#2.***(Chords are the same for the other verses.)***
Em
War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.

War! friend only to the undertaker.

Ooooh, War! is an enemy to all mankind.

The thought of war blows my mind.

War! has caused unrest within the younger generation.

Induction then destruction..who wants to die? Unnnnh!

CHORUS

#3.
Em
War! it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.

War! it's got one friend..that's the undertaker.

Ooooh, WAR! has shattered many a young man's dreams.

Made him disabled, bitter and mean.

Life is much to short and precious to spend 

fighting wars these days.

War! can't give life..It can only take it away.

CHORUS:

#4.
Em
War! it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.

War! friend only to the undertaker.

Peace, love and understanding..Tell me, is there no

But, Lord knows, there's got to be a better way.

LYRICS
If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
Do you think the sky is falling to the ground
All around?
Well, it wasn’t a quiz… ’cause it is

Falling all around
It’s falling to the ground
A million square feet of glass
Does not pass through humans so swell
Oh, well?

If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
’cause you think the sky is falling
Well, you passed the quiz
’cause it is
It’s falling all around
To the ground

Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
A million square feet of glass
A thousand people it could not pass
Asteroid to meteoroid
Enter the atmosphere
Raking fear on anyone near
Oh, dear!

Finnish Sniper Simo Hayha
v

“White Death”….
…Simo Hayha….

…credited with 505 confirmed kills of Soviet soldiers….

…accomplished in fewer than 100 days at a time of year… with very short hours of daylight….

…He preferred to use iron sights….

…put a Finnish finish on a Russian Mosin-Nagant….

…highest recorded number of confirmed sniper kills in any major war….

…Fact not folklore….

…Fact a folk lure….

…dressed completely in white camouflage….

…kept snow in his mouth, so that the vapor of his breath would not give him away….

…No scope, no breath….

…No way….

… White Death….
… White Death….
… White Death….

… let us take a shot…
… at changing our age…
… and care a lot…
… about our damage…
… no mirage….
… let us kill kill…
… until….
we are the death of death….

kill kill while there is still until

ABOUT THE SONG
The song is a tongue-in-cheek analogy of the famous Finnish sniper that used a Russian Mison-Nagant riffle to kill Russians (becoming the most famous hidden sniper in history.) In the same fashion, what if we tried to kill killing? What if we became the death of death… by not having any humans kill other humans?

NEVERENDING SEA NEVERSTOPPING RACE

ARMS ARE MIGHTY HEADS WITH LONGING FACE

THEY DON’T WANNA LIVE USING STANDARD WAYS

NOTHING CAN STOP THEM ON THE WAY THEY CHOSE

BOAT IS NOT SO GOOD THEY GOT NOTHING TO LOOSE

ONLY PICTURES OF BLUE SKY AND SEA

BUT THEY ALWAYS KNOW HOW IT’S GONNA BE

NOBODY KNOW WHO WAS RIGHT WHO WRONG

PEOPLE IN A BOAT DO NOT WAIT TO ROW

NOTHING CAN’T STOP THEM ON THE WAY THEY GO

UNDER SAIL AT SEA

WHERE DO THEY GO

JUST THEY KNOW.

What would be great is that if you could continue 1,2,3 with similar 4,5,6 or even better to make up absolutely new song with another theme but in same form of construction. Melody and arrangement is almost ready. Song could be agressive or painfull but foir sure it is on the open nerve but now with this “seaman’s parallel” makes me feel some inconvenient. I know you are a big master of special lyrics and mebbe it’s the moment we can create a good tune. In one week I will revert with ready song video.

I’ll be waiting for your ideas regarding all these matters. Meantime I will click on your link and get down to songs.

always yours,
