bookmark_borderBrought on Babylon

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s hard to tell
If I’m living here
Or time traveled
To Babylon
Not feeling well
And I’m still not clear
Time unraveled
To Babylon
… I babble on…
For I can see
It’s not just me…
“We”
… ramble on

Toll of the bell
Is it ringing clear
We’ve time traveled
Ole Babylon
We hate to dwell
In our hell
Did you hear
Our Babylon
… I babble on…
For I can see
It’s not just me…
“We”
… ramble on
[Time unraveled
Distant present
Time traveled
Then to now
Somehow]

A song about thinking you time traveled back to Babylon only to realize we brought Babylon to the present.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are the chances remote
Or can we get this theory to float
To set the knew notion solution into motion
Then the rest of the ride
We will just slide
Unless of course
There is The Force
The Mothership is headed for the falls
Stop her?!?!
The order’s too tall
Unless of course
We have the force
To be the friction
In Man’s fiction
Unless of course
We are the force

Chords: A G E A / A C E A / B E A / A D E A; 114 BPM
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards
Written and recorded live to a digital 1-track
A song about Earth (our mothership) on course to go over the falls. How does one stop a huge ship in motion from going over the edge?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hot, hot, hot
Got a lot
Of temperature
For sure
Not, not, not
Not a lot
Of temperament future
We cooked this joint
Ain’t that the point
We fried the I
Belated bye-bye
Toasted my home
I’m not alone
Farewell to roam

Hot, hot, hot
Got a lot
Of temperature
For sure
Not, not, not
Not a lot
Of temperament future
Like frogs in a pot
As water gets hot
For the effort it takes to leap
We’re just too $0D damn cheap
Give nothing… just

Does anyone know
What we’re fighting ’bout?
It’s a bout about pride
It’s about trying to hide
It’s a bout about haste
A disregard about waste

What we’re talking ’bout?

What we’re fighting ’bout?
It’s a bout about self
It’s about gaining wealth
It’s a bout about excess
About a world in distress

What we’re talking ’bout?

It’s about gluttony
It’s a bout about excess
About a S.O.S.

Time moves on without warning
They’re lining up at the Pearly Gates
I’m telling them it’s getting late
But, they keep lining up at the Pearly Gates
I keep telling them it’s getting late
There’s not a chance they can debate
Man creates their own fate
Hourly rate
Till expiration date

The hour of disbelieving
They’re lining up at the Pearly Gates

But, they keep lining up at the Pearly Gates
I keep telling them it’s getting late
There’s not a chance they can debate
Man creates their own fate

I’m taking my best shot
(Why not?)
After all… why not?
I’ve but one life to live
I’ve got one life to give

Why not?

My t’s have been crossed

My eyes have their dot

I’ve but one life to live
I’ve got one life to give
I’ve got!

LYRICS
All is clear
From over here
You aware
Way over there?
If you care
To stare
It’s OK
It’s so rare
To share
Would you say?

All is clear
From over here
You aware
Way over there?
Let your jaw
Drop in awe
It’s OK
It’s so rare
To share
Would you say?

All is clear
From over here
You aware
Way over there?
Those eyes pop
Don’t stop
It’s OK
It’s so rare
To share
Would you say?

LYRICS
Won’t be long
No, it won’t be long

Would you look at that
Little crack
Do you dread
It will spread?
Won’t be long
No, it won’t be long

Would you look at that
Little snag
Is the cat
Out of the bag
Does it smack
Of the little crack
Do you dread
It will spread?
Won’t be long
No, it won’t be long

Will we get “one more song”
How long is how long
A song.. just one more
Will there be an encore
Won’t be long
No, it won’t be long

LYRICS
Did you think it would End like this?
We’re you far off or mere near miss
Is the message that we send
Meant to harm or meant to mend
Do you think you get to live life…
Again?

Did you think The End would be such a mess
Confess
Be it more
Be it less
Is the message that we send
Meant to harm or meant to mend
Do you think you get to live life…
Again?

Did you know The End would be so soon
Did everyone call you a loon
Is the message that we send
Meant to harm or meant to mend
Do you think you get to live life…
Again?

LYRICS
Adrift
A curse or a gift?
Makeshift
Have to adapt to the habitat
See the energy
Surge into the sea
Feel humidity
In the air we share

Adrift
A curse or a gift?
Makeshift
Have to adapt to the habitat
The surge is coming
My urge is flowing
The day of deluge
We can not elude

Adrift
A curse or a gift?
Makeshift
Have to adapt to the habitat
It’s going to be in attitude

LYRICS
The sun hasn’t set
No, the sun hasn’t set
Not yet
Though it’s going down
We’ve not spun around
Not yet
Keep chasing (keep chasing)
That last bit of day
Keep chasing (keep chasing)
Don’t let it slip away

Sun hasn’t gone down
No, the sun hasn’t gone down
Not yet
She’s still hanging ’round
See what light’s still found
Reflect
Keep chasing (keep chasing)
That last bit of day
Keep chasing (keep chasing)
Don’t let it slip away

LYRICS
Any minute
Thoughts and prayers
They quit it
Pallbearers
If they’re all deceased
Who’ll be left to carry me
To say the least
Who’s the biggest beast
… lets see….
Could it be we?
Would it be we?
The irony

Any minute
Thoughts and prayers
They quit it
Eulogy
If we’re all deceased
Who’ll be left to read for me
To say the least
Who’s the biggest beast
… lets see….
Could it be we?
Would it be we?
The irony

LYRICS
Use up
Throw out
It’s what we’re all about
Throw it away
It’s all we have to say
Single use
World abuse
Today we change our way
One and done
Lost what’s won
Today’s a new day

Use a bit n’ trash it
That’s our learned habit
Use n’ use… never quit
Trash our habitat
Single use
World abuse
Today we change our way
One and done
Lost what’s won
Today’s a new day

Refuse to reuse
Selfish is our dish
Anoint exploit
Ego’s all we know
Single use
World abuse
Today we change our way
One and done
Lost what’s won
Today’s a new day

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Taking them one at a time
Right down the line
Composing reason and rhyme
Exposing crisis crime
Admitting illgotten gains
Emitting a toxic reign

Robbing them of their prime
Under the premise of fine
Failed to heed the sign
Running out of time
Admitting ill-gotten gains
Emitting a toxic reign

It’s about time
Paid for the crime
Turn on a dime
The nick of time
Admitting ill-gotten gains
Emitting a toxic reign

Emitting a toxic reign
Pooring in vain
Emitting a toxic rain
Pouring on the brain
