LYRICS
Just in case you wanted to watch
An opportunity to botch
On your gun’s stock another notch

And then Daniel said,
“It’s time for the rising of the dead.”

As your life passes you by
Do you ever wonder why
You’ll while away… then you’ll died

And then Daniel said,
“It’s time for the rising of the dead.”

Then, at the end of your day
What will you have to say?
“Sorry, Lord! I’ve lost my way.”

Daniel said, “It’s time for the rising of the dead.”

DANIEL 12
(1) “Daniel, at that time the great prince Michael will stand up. Michael is in charge of your people. There will be a time of much trouble, the worst time since nations have been on earth. But Daniel, at that time every one of your people whose name is found written in the book of life will be saved. (2) There are many who are dead and buried. Some of them will wake up and live forever, but others will wake up to shame and disgrace forever. (3) The wise people will shine as bright as the sky. Those who teach others to live right will shine like stars forever and ever.

Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets. Recorded at Everhart Park in Chester County, West Chester, PA.

In hindsight, there was a tid-bit of Fleetwood Mac and Yes influence… but for the most part this is an impromptu spiritual.

LYRICS
With your mind’s eye
Fly through the sky
Let the wind lift your angelic wings
With your mind’s eye
Fly across the sky
Relish what your good fortune brings
Cherished cherub

Gabriel, do tell
Uplift… swift flight
Pray you might enlight
Insight and understanding
Righteousness everlasting

Seventy “sevens”
Sent from the heavens
My children’s, children’s, children’s, children’s, children’s, children
Seventy “sevens”
Said by the heavens
For mortal men to learn their lessons

The end coming like a flood
Anointed One’s blood
Abomination that causes desolation
Until the end that is decreed pours out of me

The Seventy “Sevens”

9:20 While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the Lord my God for his holy hill— 21 while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. 23 As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision:

24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.

bookmark_borderRevelation 20:11-15

Then I saw a great white throne and She who was seated on it.
From Her presence earth and sky fled away,
no place was found for them.

I saw the dead,
great and small,
standing before the throne,
and books were opened.

Then another book was opened,
which is the book of life.
the dead were judged by what was written in the books,
according to what they had done.

The sea gave up the dead who were in it,
Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them,
they were judged,
each one of them,
according to what they had done.

Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.
This is the second death, the lake of fire.

If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life,
he was thrown into the lake of fire.

ABOUT THE SONG
The song was written and recorded on Independence Mall, Philadelphia and West Chester, Pennsylvania. The words came about due to the fact that I was sitting on top of their bones looking for inspiration. Oh, yeah… and, it has to do with The Book Of Daniel “Many of those whose bodies are dead and buried will rise up….” Zombies, dude… for real.

a most amazing dream.
I was hunting zombies.
It was my favorite dream ever!”

LYRICS by Daniel
I’d better be careful
Of what I wish for
Or all my dreams
Might come true
Oh, no. My wish is this prophecy
No one’s eyes would ever see

You’d better be careful
Of what you wish for
Or your every nightmare
Might just be there

Thank God
That fate it’s never too late
To change the path we’re on

When we reach the fork in the road
Let’s unload
And, stay to the right
When we get to the right… let’s explode

So, as we wind on down the road
Our souls grow taller than our shadows
And, there’s a truth that we all know
That the weak and meek shall overthrow
All that the power thought they owned
When first is last… so the order goes
