bookmark_borderWho Are You?

I am practically nothing
A mere speck
In the universe
So, what the heck
Might as well
Lift a voice
And, start singing
Chorus and verse
About your hell
Rejoice!!!

Please refrain
From the causing
Of pain
When you rain
On friends
May love
Reign over you

Oh, rain is slowed
By friction
The contradiction
Reign is not slowed
By friction
32 feet per second
Per second
No, “Wait a second!”
Love reign
Pouring through
Your roof
Love reign
Pointing out
You’re aloof
Penetrating
Flesh and bone
The truth
Never leaving you
Alone

Though,
I’m glad you asked
“Who the fuck are you?”
Nobody… just do
What I can do
Now,
Asking the question, too —
Q: Who the fuck are you?
A: Liar
Hypocrite
Dire
Underachievement

… meant
To show a speck
A little respect

by Daniel Brouse

What is it I see?
Sparkle
Twinkle
Sincerity

You let
Me in sight
… camera on my moves
Dreamt it’d always be
Someone like you
A passionate soul
Wanting to view
Eternity

You’re the kind
One loves

What is it I see?
Smiles
Eyes
Shear beauty

Will you always be
As adorable
As the night
We met?

Lord, please let
Me never to forget

Don’t let me be…
Escort me?
“Hugs, kisses… I love you.”
I love you, too.

Em / E sus4 / Em7 / Em 7 (11)

The warmer it gets
The colder the wind blows
No one seems to know
No, no one knows

But, when they take a peek
They start to freak
’cause the lightning
Is frightening

Why, no one seems to care
That the weather out there
Is human induced
As we reduce
Ourselves
To little more
Than a glass snow globe

Turning upside down
Shakin’ it around

From the outside
Looking in…

From outside the glass
Do we wanna be
The universal ass
Reduced to an obscene
Earthling scene

Though the snow looks pretty
Do we need the alien pity
For our lack of responsibility?

When they take a peek
They start to freak
’cause the lightning
Is frightening
[Repeat / Fade]

bookmark_borderJust Is (Of Peace)

by Daniel Brouse
Inspired by Insanity Humanity (Ain’t That the Truth!)
and the Rev. LeRoy Montana

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
Thrown from their thrones

Flesh and bones?
Nothing weathers
That matters

Is it fine
In this time
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

Perhaps, not that far away
A day
When what is just
Just is

More than chance
That justice
Someday will sway
The balance

PART II

When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

When what is just
Just is

Justice
Someday will sway
The balance

How will I weigh?

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
The one that weathers
Thrown from their thrones
The one that matters
Is not me

Without we
I just am
Without you
Too
Two alones

A family
Better we’d be
Better by far
We already are
Together we way
Together we weigh
Together we may
Without fail
The Scale
Just is
Justice

Em
Em / Cm7
Adlib

Inspired by Rev. LeRoy Montana
And the Brouses who ate worms

Rancid .MID
Rancid .MP3

Is this really what we wanted to eat
The taste of dirty socks… of stinky feet
Is this really what we wanted to eat

It makes me squirm thinking of eating worm
I mean, we could have had some cake and ice cream
We could have fed the world
We could have listened and tried to learn
Instead our bread has mold
And, the question arises, “Will we grow old?”

Is this really what we wanted to eat
Our neighbors bones and their meat
Is this really where we wanted to go
To where worth is less than slightly zero
Is this really what we wanted to do
Piss on me and crap on you

So, I scream, “we could have had some cake and ice cream”
We could have fed the world
We could have digested… instead… we hurled.
It not too late to anticipate our fate if we don’t participate
In a kinder way, more productive day, importance of what we say
Let’s spread the word of what we’ve heard
Then, maybe instead of getting what we would have deserved
We’ll have a cornucopia of utopia
At least something beyond our dreams
Of the brightest lights and the leanest leans

A cornucopia of utopia
Instead of the rancid we did
A cornucopia of utopia
Instead of the rancid we did

The brightest lights and the leanest leans
A corn-you-copia of utopia
The brightest lights and the leanest leans
A cornucopia of utopia
The brightest lights and the leanest leans
A corn-you-copia of utopia

By Sir Vent of KingArthur.com

Gamble To Ramble MP3
Instrumental

About The Song
The song was recorded on the Roland Boss BR-600 using stereo 2-track and the onboard condenser microphones. An ole’ beat up nylon 6-string was the instrument of choice.

The song is also known as The Ambler Rambler as it has evolved during live performances on the streets of Ambler, PA. It turned into Gamble To Ramble. If you have ever had your movement restrained, you will appreciate the meaning.

bookmark_borderANGELS AND ZOMBIES

This song kind-of sums up what this project is about —
And many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
— Daniel !2:2

Daniel
Had a dream
Stars would shine
Forever bright
Devil’s zombies
Rule the night
Devils
Evil spell?
Well, Daniel?

The dead
Stand upright
The head
Forever bright
It’s the devil
In you
It’s the devil in me
It’s the D evil
I tell you
De-evil
Me, too

Daniel’s dream
Shine like a beam
Or
Daniel’s dream
Now it’s seen
Sapien’s
Satin

Here is a lo-fi demo of the song. It is one of my favorite cuts for this album. As with most of the songs, it is an extemporaneous recording.
