bookmark_borderSummit of Earth

LYRICS
To climb the mountain
And see to the sea
Is where I want to be
The highest of heights
Is where I’m going to be
Hope to share the view with you
At the summit of Earth’s rebirth
Have we humans any worth
Do’s/dues have come due/do

To the highest heights
The will to ascend
Is where we ought to be
The message we send
Determines The End
It’s where we’re going to be
Hope to share the view with you
At the summit of Earth’s rebirth
Have we humans any worth
Do’s/dues have come due/do

bookmark_borderRound the Bend

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

bookmark_borderIf Only….

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
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

LYRICS
My good friend
What have we here?
They say The End
Is drawing near
What have we hear?

Tell me please
What have we here?
A release
And, please be clear
What have we here?
And, please be clear

My good friend
Let’s hold life dear
Before The End
Arrives here
That’s when we’ll hear
Just to be clear
We’re out of here

bookmark_borderThe Last Think You Think Of

LYRICS
Usually start at the beginning
Walking endlessly about
Figuring they’ll be extra innings
There’ll be plenty of time, no doubt
The End is the last thing you think of
Will it be too late for love?

Fall out of bed into the same routine
Forgot to find out “what does life mean?”
Knowing there’s always tomorrow
Plenty of time to reverse sorrow
The End is the last thing you think of
Will it be too late for love?

Day after day turns into years
Begin realizing your fears
Take a deep breath, let out a sigh
Begin to realize… everyone dies
The End is the last thing you think of
Will it be too late for love?

… will it be too late to love?

bookmark_borderTake It All In

LYRICS
Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End… begins
Do you think we’ll go extinct
The remedy to Earth’s misery
But while we’re still
Do you think we will
Continue to kill
Kill, kill, kill?

Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End…
Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End… begins
Do you think those that are fine
Will let their light shine
Shine, shine, shine
Alleviating hearts will succeed
By their light see eternity

Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End…
Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End…
Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End… begins
Do you think tortured souls freed
No humane human will be in need
As every man comes to understand
The fate of man is in his hand

LYRICS
The tale of the dog’s tail
Got cut short
In the grand scale of things
Not much to report
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails
What are we made of?
Sugar and spice and everything nice
Boom-a-rang of love

The tale of the dog’s tail
In The End
The grand scheme of things
Return-send… return… send… return… send
The End

Having seen the omniscient scene
Interrupted serene
Now that we know

One last look
Before we go?

LYRICS
Purple pansies in the moonlight
Faces lie oh so quite
Venus shinning down upon us
Makes it oh so luscious
… us
Then when we look back and see
Our path to reality
As we turned into be
In “The End”…
Want to do it again

The grapes are ripe upon the vine
In good time turn to moonshine
By the light of Venus onto us
Makes it glory-us
… us
Luscious
… us

LYRICS
The watcher of the sky
Sounds the alarm
The catcher of prey
Founder of harm
The capture of the raptor
What’s for dinner tonight
The rapture of the capture
A feasting delight

A murder of crows
Goes for the kill
A surrender of woes
A cuisine thrill
The capture of the raptor
What’s for dinner tonight
The rapture of the capture
A feasting delight

Climbing the food chain
Ever higher
Tale of the Red Tail
The End is dire

LYRICS
Listening as the story’s progressing
Wondering if the glory’s forthcoming
Doing whatever it takes
Repeating the same mistakes

Hearing of the glory’s passing
Wondering if the story’s ending
Doing whatever it takes
Repeating the same mistakes

Pondering how the story’s ending
Surrendering to life’s rendering
Doing whatever it takes
Repeating the same mistakes

LYRICS
Ever since I discovered
It just hasn’t been the same
Forget fighter… take the lover
Pay no attention to the name
Keep strength in the brain

Take a victory lap
Into the flow tap
Now, you’re on a roll
Make that rockin’ stroll
