bookmark_borderOnly Fear When Near

LYRICS
The End is coming
The only thing to fear is how near

The End is coming
There is no sense in running
The only thing to fear is how near

From the moment you’re born
You’re soon to learn
The only for certain
Is that I am
Marching
To some different drumming
We’re all marching
Toward the end that’s coming

Oh, my, my
We’re all gonna die
The End is coming
Only need fear how near

The only clarity
When it comes to certainty
Is the end is coming
So the only thing to fear is how near
The older you get the more it becomes clear
The only thing to fear is how near

LYRICS
There’s a cold wind blowing
Wrapping itself around your spine
Sending shivers up and down mine

Can we really be ending
The infinity of eternity
Is there any uncertainty
In the message we are sending

There’s a mean storm brewing
Revolution of evolution
Desolation of our institution

Chorus

There’s lean times a coming
Lacking meat in what we eat
Helter skelter in our shelter

Chorus

Once Upon A Time… The End.mp3

LYRICS
Is this the beginning of the end
Or, the end of the beginning
Is it all just relativity to me
The spacetime continuum that I am
I sure have amassed this mass
As long as this mass doesn’t pass
I suppose I am the creator of the spacetime continuum

Are you drawn into orbit
Some sort-of circular habit
Going round and round and round
Is this the end of the beginning
Or, the beginning of The End

Is all I see relativity
The spacetime continuum that I am
I think I am
I surely must be
Is that me
Relatively relativity

bookmark_borderEuphemism

LYRICS
Oh, a very influential person
(Underworld Don)
Ain’t that the understatement of the year?
Didn’t wanna worsen
(Didn’t wanna dawn)
Too much enlightenment I fear

Euphoria in the euphemism
If it means I am
In the clear

Do ya need to tame the truth
Veiled in the cloak of couth
No need to soften the mouth
If spouting knowledge is wealth

#uck it, before you “kick the bucket”
Of course, beat a dead horse
Faux B.O.?
I don’t think so
Or, in The End gluteus maximus will epitomize us

LYRICS
I’m not that venomous
Compared to the rest of us
I’m not that venomous
Here’s the thing…
It’s my tale that will sting
I reckon I am like a scorpion
It’s my tale that will sting
What? Is the stinger conspicuous?
Ahhh… don’t be ridiculous
I’m not that venomous
Compared to the rest of us
I’m not that venomous
Jesus! I’m not that venomous
The words of truth will stand the test of time
And, in The End… prove I’m….
I’m not that venomous

LYRICS
There should be outrage!
Who let you out of your cage?
Out of the cage outrage
You’ve set the stage
For the age of rage
There will be outrage
When they find you’re out of your cage
There should be outrage!
Who let you out of your cage?
After all the wars you wage
Why would someone let you out of your cage
Outrageous… outrage us
Out of the cage outrage
Outrageous outrage outrages us

The End Time’s in need of a sage
Please make contact… engage
Please help us gauge
The edge of the page
We don’t want our words running off the side
And the true meaning to hide on the flipside

Eyes gaze in a daze
Eyes glazed in a haze
Can either ear hear
Are you deaf, my Dear?

Can you see me signaling
This is the ending
Can you hear me screaming
“Dreaming of you listening”

Eyes stare… unaware
Is anyone in there
Do you think it’s cute
Playing like a mute

Eyes open yet blind
Blind-eye turned… not kind
I fear you can hear
Your contempt is clear

2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.

LYRICS
The jester and clown
Afloat on a boat
If it goes down
They’ll likely drown
On the verge of the edge
With no way to slow down
Will that be the end of us all
Over the waterfall

The jester and clown
Will likely drown
Know what I mean
Lurking downstream
On the verge of the edge
Only one way down
Will that be the end of us all
Over the waterfall

LYRICS
Though it sounds absurd
There is a House Of Lords
To be free as a bird
Unlikely for the hoards
Unlikely for the herds

Though they march for freedom
In “the end” they succumb
From being smart to being dumb
Revolution an unlikely outcome

Though we see the storm cloud
We are much too proud
To admit what we clearly see
To the detriment of you and me

ABOUT THE SONG

The House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Like the House of Commons, it meets in the Palace of Westminster.

Unlike the elected House of Commons, most members of the House of Lords are appointed. The membership of the House of Lords is made up of Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal. The Lords Spiritual are 26 bishops in the established Church of England. Of the Lords Temporal, the majority are life peers who are appointed by the monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister, or on the advice of the House of Lords Appointments Commission. However, they also include some hereditary peers. Membership was once an entitlement of all hereditary peers, other than those in the peerage of Ireland, but under the House of Lords Act 1999, the right to membership was restricted to 92 hereditary peers. Very few of these are female since most hereditary peerages can only be inherited by men.

Oh no
If the know doesn’t grow

The gap in the skull narrows
The gap in freewill widens
Bringing on tomorrow’s sorrows
Our thoroughfare dead-ends

Oh no
If the know doesn’t grow

Distance to the edge narrows
Understanding bridge widens
Bringing on tomorrow’s sorrows
Our one-way street dead-ends

Oh no
If the know doesn’t grow

The dire strait narrows
The die or mate widens
Bringing on tomorrow’s sorrows

LYRICS
They say it’s not the fall that hurts
It’s really the sudden stop at the end
Time may heal all broken hearts
But a broken soul is hard to mend

So, I’m taking it all in just as long as I can
No time to wait and not too late to start
A strange trip — the free fall of man
Before the sudden stop of our heart

They say it’s in us all — the love
And the love we get is equal to the love we send
So, I’m sending in the message from above
Let’s get together before the stop at The End

Nothing works out the way they say it would
Though better off then it could
The damsel in distress
Is really quite a mess

Perhaps it’s best
If you pass the test
Forget the rest
Just pass the test

Nothing plays out the way they say it would
So listen not I should
The princess’ kiss
Kiss of death more than bliss

The soul’s thrust is a must
And in The End
The love you get is the love you send

LYRICS
If I am unresponsive for more than a year,
I fear… The End wont’ be near

Now, that I know what I know
Would you mind hitting replay, again?
Must’a been the first few times through
I didn’t know what I thought I knew… then

I believe I’ve lived before
I believe I might live some more
Take me in the woods and shoot me ‘tween the eyes
And, set my soul free for me

Don’t put me in a home
Or make me live alone
Just shoot me ‘tween the eyes

Betwixt between

Hopin’ my soul will live again,
So please next o’ kin
Once you realize
Shoot me ‘tween the eyes

ps. While I’m still alive and you realize
I wish to be set free
Please allow me
To set your mind at ease
Please, please put me out of my misery
