LYRICS
I’m getting interference
In the transmission
Are you getting inner fear
In this “Man’s Mission”?

I’m getting interference
In the passage of the message
Final elimination
Is this “Man’s Mission”?

Damnation nation
The Passage Age

I’m getting interference
In the signal to the “All”
Is “The Fall” the inner fear
Transmission of “Man’s Mission”?

Have you heard the dirt
On the men of the Earth/earth
Earthlings
Birthlings in pain
Insane?
I fear there’s no ear in EARth
Can’t seem to hear here
Falling on a deaf ear
We’re breaking up
Breaking up

LYRICS
Tryin’ to find humanity in insanity
How to be kind became a rarity
Why debate if it’s too late
The more the haste, the less the waste
Regurgitate your hesitate
The less the wait, the less the late
Does “The End” depend on if you participate
Or opt-in default’s what I should anticipate?

LYRICS
Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
As we give it to Mother… gonna band Her
The cliff is stiff… it will survive
Will there be a human to hang alive?
Stubborn human gas in their own oven
Amazed rats built a maze into their cage

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Like buffalo over… Man’s in dnager
The cliff is stiff… it will survive
Will there be a human to hang alive?
Stubborn human gas in their own oven
Amazed rats built a maze into their cage

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Times couldn’t get more stranger
The cliff is stiff… it will endure
As for humans… not so sure
Top of the food chain through the floor
Kill themselves ’til there are no more
… ’til their our – no more
… ’til the hour – no more

LYRICS
Can I start workin’ it a bit
While I think on it
Fore sure, I’d love to know the big picture
… if I start, I can always quit

If I wait to hesitate
Lost time can’t regurgitate
Repeat: to time defeat

In “The End” ride off into the sunset
’til then, I’ve started to begin
My friend, forget about regret
As long as the time that’s mine is livin’

I leave grievin’ starvin’
And keep on believin’ in lovin’

It’s only time
Slipping, slipping, slipping
It’s only time
… not really mine
Dripping, dripping, dripping
There is no gripping
Slipping through butter fingers
A moment briefly lingers
Then, it’s gone… so long
Luckily for me
It’s only time

Any time is fine time
Define time?
Anytime is fine time
The time to pine for time…
Is wasted time
Defined time
At the end of the line

LYRICS
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

How sure is your footing on the precipice of the future
How sure? For sure?
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Presently I consider the present a present
The recent present won’t persist
No, it won’t last
Men, grasp it while you can!
Before it passes to past
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Did you notice the crowd
It’s loud!
A mad dash to the finish line
3, 2, 1… then, you’re out of time
3, 2, 1…
Then, you’re done

Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

LYRICS
Planted on the planet of plenty
A healthy harvest from coast to coast
From see to shining see
On the cusp of being robust
Planet Earth or bust
(On the cusp of us being beings)

Hitchhiker of the galaxy
Planned on the planet of plenty
To see the shining see

Like the stars in the heavens
Bringing light to the heathens
Where the end ends beginning begins

Yes, indeed we’re approaching light speed
Out of our vacuum into spacetime continuum

LYRICS
I’m back
The facts I lack
Thought I was done
Thought I was gone
Boy was I wrong
The “treatment” goes on and on

I’m back
Relentless attack
Just like before
I’m back for more
Show must go on
’til we see the light of dawn

I’m back
Found a new crack
Body must mend
Fight till the end
Won’t yield the fight
We’ll fight right through the night

I’m back
Give’r another whack
No, I won’t go away
I’m here to stay

LYRICS
Minimum wage, drinking age
Paragraph 1a), first page
It’s a…
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see
(From see to slithering see)

Busking permit, speed limit
Paragraph 1a), original edit
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see

Do not enter, do not loiter
Paragraph 1a) to the letter
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see
Indeed,
You need a permit to read the permit to read, indeed.

Cross at the green, not in-between*
*see the small print… do you know what I mean?
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see

Law can’t bend, won’t amend
Signed, sealed, send… The End

LYRICS
Though the power of thunder is very frightening
A sour comparison to the bolt of lightning
Drop and roll! You’re on fire!
Rock and roll! You’re desire!

In the time it takes for the sound to roll ’round
I’ll be found belly-up on the ground
You’re deadly. A true knockout
Storming beauty… what nature’s about
Your biology as meteorology

1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi, 6 Mississippi
1 mile all the while I die
1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi, 6 Mississippi
Lordy me! More in the package than meets the eye
Iceberg tip… let ‘er rip

LYRICS
If this ain’t is, I don’t know what is
Cotton-pickin’ time we mind our biz
The fruit rusted on the vine
The root rotted… less than fine

The fountain of youth don’t know to flow
Wonderin’ where all the water did go
The fruit rusted on the vine
The root rotted… less than fine

Not enough is and too much was
Was the problem puzzling us
The fruit rusted on the vine
The root rotted… less than fine

The question of when does depend
When we all end The End

Kingdom Come is coming
Kingdom comes when we’re undone
Kingdom Come, come
We are calling

Will change our ways

Promised Land is landing
Due to lack of understanding
Too damned demanding
We are calling
The End of Days
Will change our ways

Could it even be heaven
May be time to start believin’
Kingdom Come, come again
Soon we’re leaving
The End of Days
Will change our ways
How the word plays

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Why do we want to make it so we twist and bleed
It’s getting harder and harder to breathe
The day has dawned “beyond so long”
Come to know “you reap, you soooo(-ed)”
Guilt in silence… not even a peep?
Is what we reap “playin’ for keeps”
Did you bet there’s no harm
Betting the farm?

Why have we made hate our destiny
Why have we made hate our legacy
The day has dawned “beyond so long”
Come to know I’m my own worst foe
Now, we’re in too deep
Playing for keep

Made a habit of destroying habitation
A destruction nation in self-annihilation
The day has dawned… so long beyond
We’re all “coming home”, I reckoned
Coming ’round the bend to…
The End

LYRICS
Enough of me, my, mine
All the time
Wonder if mankind
Is doing fine?
This planet that we bent
It’s time to pay the rent
The message that we sent
Wonder if it went
(I don’t know
Did it go?)

If this is our final hour
Let us muster the power
If we could get it together
Prolong the chance of forever
What’s up with vinegar and piss
What’s up with all of this?
Possibly we could mend
Before bringing on “The End”
The End

LYRICS
One moment lapses into another
Until the minutes start to take over
Day by day
Goes our way
Minute by minute turns to hours
Better take the time while it’s ours
Day by day
Goes our way
Passing hours turn light to night
As long as there’s tomorrow, our future’s bright
Day by day
Goes our way
Consider me lucky to accumulate years
And Father Time is still in arrears
Day by day
Goes our way
Blessed to outlive our fears
No regrets or tears if “The End” nears
