LYRICS
Has my heart lost it’s allure
The way things are going… I’m not sure
Is the loving coming
Behind closed doors
Is the loving coming
More of a chore

In the thick of pandemic
Quick!
In the thick of pandemic
Quick!
The Christmas Cure
Rid the sick of their panic
Quick!
Rid the sick of their panic
Quick!
The Christmas Cure

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is entitled Christmas Cure because I almost died of COVID. After surviving the virus, I developed COVID-long Haulers Syndrome. When I started writing the album, I hoped the Christmas Spirit would bring a cure. Sure enough, through an Act Of God, I was shown the cure — COVID-19 Induced Secondary Pellagra (CISP) and the Coronavirus Cure.

LYRICS
So far off in the distant sky
The brightest star cries… wonder why?
Birth on Earth will die
The birth will die
We’ll arise

The Wisemen could not say
Why things end up this way
Nor could the angels sway
A reprieve? No, no delay
No delay

So far off in the distant sky
The brightest star cries… wonder why?
The birth will die
Birth on Earth will die
We’ll arise

The shepherds could not foresee
The End would come to be
There’ll be a jubilee
The day we’re all set free
A reprieve come to be

bookmark_borderHibernal Solstice

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s been reported
Daylight is getting shorter
Sunshine aborted
The year’s final quarter
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again

Sun’s been thwarted
By the Earth’s axis
Going wholehearted
Into the depths of Christmas
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again

ABOUT THE SONG
The winter solstice, hiemal solstice or hibernal solstice occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. The winter solstice was immensely important because the people were economically dependent on monitoring the progress of the seasons. Starvation was common during the first months of the winter, January to April, also known as “the famine months”. The majority of wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking at this time. The concentration of the observances were not always on the day commencing at midnight or at dawn, but at the beginning of the pagan day, which in many cultures fell on the previous eve. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
Soon as October started
Felt like it was over
Now know November
The next endeavor
Come December
Never ceasing season of peace
Reigning down love from above
And at The End
The angels descend

Then came December
A time we’ll remember
From hustle n’ bustle alarm
To silent night calm
Dreaming on (and on and on)
Never ceasing season of peace
Raining down love from above
And at The End
The angels descend

LYRICS
Humbled…
In your presence
I mumbled,
“Your loyal peasant.”
I serve at your will
Deserve to serve
Without you…
I’m nil
Indent
Servant
“Have none. Will Travel.”
In the event,
I may…
After all,
I’m going that way
Indentured
Indent sure
Servant, Sir, vent!
The movement
Of the people
From the steeple

LYRICS
I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They call you the forgotten one
Mother Nature’s son
Forgot that to keep you in
Is a mortal sin
Time to think and think again
About letting you out

I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They say your only goal:
To save our soul
By spreading the Christmas cheer
And ringing in the new year
For it’s not to late to believe
Give to receive

Take off running
Spread your wings
Brings beautiful things
Take-off

Spread your wings
Brings beautiful things
Relieve stress
Flapping less
And, soar some more

Looking down, way down below
Know
