LYRICS
There’s one for me
And, two for you?
Sum and then some
Wonder how come?
There’s one for me
And, two for you
Starting to see
Just how it’ll be
Sum and then some
Wonder how come?
Some sum

Day upon day
Year upon year
Time grows shorter
And so we fear
“Upon a time….”
Or so they say
The last quarter
Is under way
Sum and less some
Wonder how come?
Some sum

Upon “The End”
The rules won’t bend
Then, all shall see
Equal will be
Equal we’ll be
Kingdom has come
Some sum

LYRICS
I’m glad you made it
Glad you finally made it
To the show
Glad to watch you fade
Made the fade
Into the know
Yearn to learn by experimentation
Add curiosity stimulation
Mix the fix with fascinization

If you were expecting
Except an intermission
Your inner-mission
Face-to-face with outer space
(chorus)

The End. Please come again (again)
Until then… it’s time to begin
(chorus)

From The Book Of Daneil

The King Who Exalts Himself
Daniel 11:36 “The president will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every head-of-state and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of walls

Daniel 12 “The End Of Times”

LYRICS
What do you suppose
Is in those?
What do you propose
To do, too?
Who would have choose
Those?
Now it has arose
What to do?

Fancy is the feast
Last Supper. The Beast.
Can you tell me at least?

Lucky, to be the 1 / one / won

LYRICS
Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Keep it low on strife
Keep it high ’round the bend
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

Searching for the part
Where does it start
Getting a little skittish
’bout finding the finish
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

LYRICS
Can anyone tell me
What this is?
Entertainment
… some sort-of show biz?
Can anybody tell me
Is this the show?
Can somebody tell me
I want to know
Somehow
I thought there’d be more
Than Sodom and Gomorrah
Alt-right and spite
Blood and gore
If I might…
If it’s alright
… I thought I might
Write
… a better ending:
Love and the message sending
If complete, something sweet
You join in, too?

Hey, the final countdown?
Say, is it going ’round?

Wait! Please hesitate

No! I don’t want to go
Know I don’t want to go
So, the message they send
Whoa! It’s The End

LYRICS
They say that our day
Is only a heartbeat
Only a heartbeat
Away
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

They say that our age
Is more than a heartbeat
A collective heartbeat
Play on the world stage
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

They say that our way
Could be the last heartbeat
Be the last heartbeat
Frolic in the foray
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

They say our heartbeating
Is our only heartbeat
Only our heartbeat
And could be fleeting
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

Couldn’t get any better

And I the fly

Can’t yield to the windshield
The windshield will not yield

LYRICS
It’s not really the fall
It’s not really the fall at all
The descent from the top
Doesn’t hurt at all
In The End, it’s the sudden stop!

When you hear the thunder roll
Know you’re not lightning’s toll
It’s not the loud clap of the cloud
It’s that bolt that gives the jolt

Never tire of hearing a screeching tire
Unless at last, it ends with a crash
When you call this a near miss
Experience bliss

Will the power devour?
Our chances are…
Our chances our are chances
Advice: think twice
Before doing rain dances

LYRICS
Alright
It starts off nice and calm
… when we’re still in love

I thought you said you’d love me
You’d love me till The End
And, then…
It was The End

Things are looking brighter now
And, I know somehow
I’ll find my way out of here
I’ll find my way clear

You said you’d never go
Now, I know
It’s time to go

No blood and guts?
You’ve gone nuts
There’s enough blood and guts
You’ve gone nuts

LYRICS
How much despair do you have in there
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

Still not knowing
Where you’re going
Will you survive
Being alive
Whether we try
We all will die
Friend, why not stay till The End

How much repair do you have to bear
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

Understand I’ll hold your hand
There is nothing you need fear
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

LYRICS
If the Earth is flat
How long would that be
From end to The End
How long would that have been
Treading in thick logic
Wading in sick logic
Quick
If you went splat
On an Earth that’s flat
Where would that be at
Would you, too, be
Two dimensional
Or does your rational
Already escape me
You were tow dimensional all
Along… just wasting my song
With sick logic
