LYRICS
Name calling naming
Finger pointing blaming
Self-incriminating
Evidence is damning
worthless shaming
Hate abandoning timing

The call went out around the world
And everybody heard
For evidence that’s granite
Solid rock understand it
For evidence that’s granted
We all live on one planet

Civil responsibility
Please don’t abandon me
Together make reality
A place that we want to be
Take my hand… come let’s “we”
Humans in humanity
One planet
Plan it?
Plan it
Planet planted

LYRICS
Please listen to this
“Merry Christmas!”
Here’s wishing you a very merry Christmas
Clearly, a very merry Christmas
Winter solstice bliss
“Merry Christmas!”
Here’s wishing you a very merry Christmas
Hold dearly this very merry Christmas
In the tale
Peace will prevail
In “The End”
The message we send
Grand total
Peace for all
In “The End”
Peaceful

As you’re passing pass
“Merry Christmas”?
Here’s wishing you a very merry Christmas
Query: a very merry Christmas
Let’s say everyday
“Merry Christmas!”
Here’s wishing you a very merry Christmas
And did you hear
… a “Happy New Year!”

LYRICS
As the warlords breed
Weapons of mass destruction
The warlords believe
Here upon is the resurrection
Then the warlords breathe
A breath of foul distinction
As they rile in the bile
Of denial
Drown in the flood
Of the spilt blood
Gnarl and bite
Taking sight
Blind to the kind
Grind, spit and spew
They do
Their toll in human soul
The sole consuming sole
Flashes of light
Off in the night

To guard the gates of eternity
From their mortality
To guard morality
From hypocrisy
Bring the soul out of the shadow
Through any age onto the stage
Life is but a show
Ominous us
Omnipresence
Stardust
Omnipresent present

December Snow

So, you know…
When we witness the Lord sow snow
See a glimpse of beauty
Ohhhh…
Snow
Turn the dark to bright
Absorb the sound
Reflect the light
Peace is found
Clinging tight
So, Lord, sow snow!
Ohhh….
Snow
Looking back at my track
Into the virgin snow I go
So, Lord, sow snow
Ohhh…
Snow
Let the crystals flow
Ohhh…
Snow

LYRICS
Do you mean
We’re (fighting) on the same team
Fighting death
To the death
What do you say
Come out and play
Today
The game in the garden
Separate(s) boys from men

The more you age
Haste to the stage
Committal service
Fighting death
To the death
As you grow old
Wisdom be told
The dying are nervous
Fighting death
To the death

From the heart sung
Forever young

Hey! Hey!

OK? OK!

Do you really want to mess with this

Something gypsy-like strut
Sure thing to shake your…

Of the droll
May the mirthful

Of droll
Self-mockery”
Join the band
And stroll
Some strutting (Struttering)
No! No if, and or but’s
Hey, hey, hey
Say
You’re shaking our…
But, but, but, but’s

LYRICS
What the hell?
Clear-as-a-bell
See-saw
Teeter tottering
On the brink
Civil-annihilation
Humanitarian
Starvation
Historian
Degradation
Can I count on you
To lean into
Terrestrial realization
Down to earth birth
Singing earthlings
Sky blue blues
They say
They went away
Turned gray

Crawl out of the fright
Crawl in into the light
Walk out of the night
Talk of the found light

Featuring “Scenes From Vietnam”

Music – Reinhart / Brouse
Lyrics – Brouse
Rick – Bass, Guitar
Daniel – Drums, Keyboards, Vocals
Matt Eck – Banjo
James – Audience
Chords: Dm D

LYRICS
Walking down the street
Head buried deep
Shedding all mystique
Into the crosswalk creep
Really not that far
From being hit by a car
Oblivious
To all of us

Before you end up old
Come out of your own world
Before you end up dead
Listen to what you said

How come you’re in the midst of Vietnam
Lost calm… a pig slaughtered… turned to ham
Singing the Napalm Psalm Song
Head in the sand for how long?
Do you think we might
See the new day’s light?

From the album R.R. Crossing
