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

Written and recorded November 12 and 14, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

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.

LYRICS
The clouds moved out of the way
’cause the mountains had something to say
“We appreciate the sunshine today”
When trouble is at bay
Conveyancing will outweigh
Why move mountains?
Why move a mountain?
Through our valley let peace roll in

Take some blue
Take some yellow
Don’t forget violet
Do you know what I mean?
Take some green
(or mixing yellow and blue will do)
Color a rainbow

Don’t forget violet

If you read the directions, it calls for red
Or, you can always make do by adding some blue
If you forget the violet

(Aren’t-choo glad you got orange?)

If you’re bright
Take white light
With the rhythm of a prism
Separate the aggregate
And, you know you’ll get a rainbow
= rainbow

Like God make a promise such as this
No harm to humans I wish

Writing Throwing A Hissy Fit Song in West Chester, PA

LYRICS
If throwing a hissy fit could get you into heaven
Then, I’d quit
Too bad a temper tantrum doesn’t get you in
It’s a sin what you’ve been

[Forgive and forget?]
Before we forget, you’d better check if God will forgive
Takin’ your regret to the grave is a grave mistake
If you’re thinking God will give you a break…
Everybody ‘ll be dancing on your grave at your wake

If lying, cheating, stealing… could get you into heaven
You’d probably win
But, then again…
I wouldn’t bet your life on it
Nor throwing a hissy fit
You might as well quit

Dog gone it. Dag nab it.

Beware of God less you’re dog meat
He’s a big dog… you’re more the size of a dog treat
If you come knockin’ better be answerin’ to “Who is it?”

And, that dog’s bark is fierce
Listen as the shock of sound waves pierce

LYRICS
In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

Searching high and low
Where did the day light go

There should have daylight savings
But, we kept shaving and shaving and shaving
Until there was barely splintered sunlight left

It’s not alright when there’s nothing left

It there’s a shadow in the way
There’s a way to flesh out a ray
What do you say
Let’s step out into the light
Alight? Alright!

In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

ABOUT THE SONG
A / D / A
Bm7 / G / E

Written and recorded on November 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. It was the first sunny day and warm enough to play guitar outside in a long time. It was also the first nice day since the start of daylight savings. So… I wanted to catch the last rays as the sun started to set. Lack of sunlight tends do cause depression; therefore, I suggest you try catching rays.

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

’cause the End Of Times is looming near
The wretched are dooming in fear

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

There’s a bend in time we’re zooming clear
The righteous are bounding. How queer?

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

The Start Of Times is looming near
Leaving hate far behind… in the rear

Or, you can choose a better place to move the human race

If you want to get from here
You want to get to there
You have change direction somehow

You can follow the herd trying to stray under every black cloud in the sky
Or, you can choose a better place to move the human race

You can sit in your rocker hoping the world will pass you by
Or, can lead the human race to move to a better place

You can believe all you’ve heard from the herd… never asking why
Or, can lead the human race to move to a better place

Listen to your instincts. Be aware!
There’s no better time nor place. Here! Now!

LYRICS
Taking a second look
I should have known you were a crook
Looks like now you’ll be a page in The Book

When you try to runaway, lie and hide
From your responsibilities
You invoke your own reciprocity
Causing grave disabilities
A mark on your history

Once upon a time,
Your story invaded mine
And, it looks like you’re a page in The Book

It may not be too late to change your fate
Seek forgiveness for your sin and be born again
Then, this scary tail may have a happy ending

Raise the vibe while you’re alive!
Be the climax to the story
With your new found glory
Forevermore our story
In The Book

Faith that hope holds true

Within you skin’s underneath
Bare the soul that’s within you
Release the love from within the bloke
Faith that life’s not a joke
Hope that mankind learns to cope

Shy of pride
Fashion of compassion
String as an oak
Weaving threads into rope
Bringing peace to Earth

Spreading smiles and mirth
Hoping to spread the faith

LYRICS
Water dripping from a faucet
Try to dodge the raindrops without getting wet
Unordered as the system may appear to be
It’s only because you’re too close to see clearly

Um, though it might appear random
To call it such would dumb
It’s much more complicated than that

Better put on my thinking hat

A butterfly flaps it wings
Causing devastating things
Showing up as tornadoes in Kansas
Your smallest intention effects all of us

Smoke rising up into the air
A most fascinating thing as a smoke-ring
Crystals forming where it was bare
Call it a gem. Call it rare

LYRICS
The key is under lock and key
All modes of communication fail
Like a jaguar chasing a monkey
We’re taking on water… better bail!

The key still under lock and key
All routs of transportation fail
Like a jaguar chasing a monkey
Start walking on water… we need the Holy Grail

The key is locked on the inside
Drowning… respiration will fail
Like a poacher shoots the jaguar for a hide
Start treading treading water… it’s your tail

Like the monkey chases the weasel
Like the jaguar chases the monkey
Like the poacher chases the jaguar

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought ’twas all in fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.

Many dead… mostly from trees.

Geeze.. giving them diseasecreatin a deadly breeze.

Using limb to clobber him from limb to limb
Crushing homes and transportation
Because of our past deviation violation

The fall of the trees
Due to the human disease
The revenge of the woods
Due to too many would-of’s, could-of’s and shoulds
Due to too many wood-of shoulds

You know it must be going over and over in her head

If she ever comes to realize… what she did
Then, you know it’s gotta be going over and over and over
In her head

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

Over and over again
When you’re livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin

It was so out-of-this-world
That it couldn’t have bee real
I mean… what’s your deal

Over and over and over and over again
Gotta re-live that sin
Until you was it clean
Until you’re void of mean

Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over in your head
For all eternity… long after you’re dead
Do you at least regret what you said?

Until you do you do
Likely, be living it over and over and over again
Gotta rid that sin

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin
