LYRICS
Verify I am I
Who are you?
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
On the right route
Enroute of roots
In the folly of do or die

LYRICS
Lost in thought
Soul’s been bought
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought
Bought and sold
Story’s old
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought
Wisdom sought
Not or ought
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought

LYRICS
Do you think it’s the Gaelic in him
That posses him to jig?
A dash of Irish
Knew hymn
More or less roots dig
Trace it back through the saints
All day through the knights
If the veils too faint
Head to the light
Do you think it’s the Gaelic in him
That posses him to jig?
A dash of Irish
Knew hymn
More or less roots dig
The origins of the land
Come to understand
The age of romance
With “the dance”

LYRICS
Exit is the way to get back in
From where you leave
Is where you go
Exit is the way to get back in
The moment you leave
You begin
From when you leave
You come to know
The past you weave
The future show
The door swings both ways
In or out decays
Consider in the stays
How to spend the day?

LYRICS
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Drying on my face… more tears flow
Odds are low at coming to know
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying by the season of reason
There is no time for reason or rhyme
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

LYRICS
Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Tell me more
Are you wishing for the poor
That there’ll be poor no more?
Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Are you wishing “end the gore”
That there’ll be war no more?
Lord, do tell
Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Do you wish peace will endure
That there’ll be no more war?
All is well

LYRICS
Are you ready?
Yes, I’m ready
Then, we’re ready to go
Let’s go
You know?
I know
Let’s go
Are we ready?
More than ready
And we’re raring to go
You know?
I know
Let’s go
Gone already
Holding steady
Now that we are on the go
You know?
I know
Let’s go

LYRICS
As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new way to see ultraviolet… x-ray
A knew way to be
A non-violent all day
As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new way to live
Carefree freewill
A knew way to give
Start the heart we will
As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new entity
Collective our soul
A knew clarity
Extrospective our goal

LYRICS
Back to the dark
Headed to light
Out of the dark
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again
Not looking back
Headed to light
Getting the knack
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again
Back to the dark
Facing the light
Head out of dark
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

LYRICS
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
There’s a whole world
To unfold
To envelop
Outside the envelope
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
[Dm7(11) jam]
There’s a big wide world
Yet to view
And a lot of things
Left to do
[A lot of things I’d love to do
With you]
[A / Am jam]
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
There’s a big wide world
Yet to view
And a lot of things
Left to do

LYRICS
Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
If picking both
is not a choice?
Might as well
Roll the dice
Craps! Snake eyes
Tell no lies
Keep rollin’
Keep rollin’
Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
Baby needs some new shoes
Hard to choose to lose
If picking both
is not a choice?
Might as well
Roll the dice
Craps! Snake eyes
Tell no lies
Keep rollin’
Keep rollin’

If only it was that simple
Maybe it wouldn’t be such a gamble
Start The End in a scramble
Broken eggs
Does your luck have legs?
Break a leg
On my knees and beg
the odds are at odds
The risk of the risk
Take in to account
Lief’s amount
If there were just no mistakes
Maybe there wouldn’t be so much at stake
Start The End with an earthquake
Broken eggs
Does your luck have legs?
Break a leg
On my knees and beg
the odds are at odds
The risk of the risk
Take in to account
Lief’s amount

LYRICS
I didn’t hear the light switch click
Now I’m standing here
In the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark
I didn’t know the sun went down
Don’t know where to go
In the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark
Now come on
Who pulled the plug
Waiting on dawn
Through the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

LYRICS
There’s a ripple
On our surface
There’s a rip in
The human race
So it seems
Our seams
Need sown
No deceit in deficit; to own
Is there a tear
In the fabric
Is it hip
Or is it tragic?
So it seems
Our seams
Need sown
No deceit in deficit; to own

LYRICS
The knights mount up
Their colors blowing in the wind
Beast upon beast
Riding into The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse
The nights lit up
The colors glowing from what’s been
Bombardment meant
Bringing on The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse
They can’t give up
Their colors running with the blood
Belly of the beast
Always wins in The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse
