LYRICS
If you’re board, why not go searching for the Lord
They say, “It’s alive”
Into the hunt let’s dive
They say, “Christ the Lord has risen today”
Let’s search until we find
If that’s what they had in mind
Let’s search until we find
Or ’til our eyes go blind

Are our I’s already blind
He’s not the kind you can wind
He’s not the kind you had in mind
I’ve a suspicion he’s risen
Now on high… listen
A titled peer of the realm
A champion of morals at the helm
Come see the deity… they say he’s in you… they say he’s in me

LYRICS
Ladies and gentlemen
For your listening pleasure
All the way from outer space
The human race
They float around a star they call the sun
Fighting over how peace can be won
Even though the race is one

Their ladies aren’t very ladylike
Acting more like the Third Reich
And the gentlemen aren’t gentle at all
Only a matter of time until an uncivil civilization will fall

So if you like the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard
Have you heard the human herd?
As for me, theirs is too much pain and agony
Spending their days trying to see
How much destruction there can be
I’m looking around trying to hear if a sweet sound can be found
Ladies and gentlemen
For your listening pleasure?
I’m not sure you can endure

Row: To take part in a noisy quarrel or disturbance.

LYRICS
Getting in a bout over what it’s all about
At any rate trying to agitate
Trying to combat where we’re at
Wow! Getting in a row over how
No time to quarrel about what’s immoral
Woah! We already know
No need to fight about what is right
’cause no good will come form trying to spite
After all, doesn’t it seem like we’re on the same team
We’re all part of the worldwide scheme
On the same side for our Earthly ride
And, well… we don’t wanna end up in hell
Better begin trying to get into heaven
Time to get along as we get along
’cause we won’t be ’round for very long
Life’s too short to spend in International Criminal Court
See our tragedy in the ICC

LYRICS
Oh, my, my
Someone told me we’re all going to die
And they don’t why
Wow! They don’t even know how
Shot through the heart or a poisonous dart?
Probably not… more likely from something we caught
We should be searching for a panacea for diarrhea
Or a solution for air pollution
Millions dying every year
Yet, no one’s developed a fear
Oh, my, my
Kneel and pray to the sky
As to why humans deny, deny, deny
The things we do killin’ me n’ you
Save us from ourselves
It ain’t no gnomes or elves
Save us from ourselves
Save us from us
Before we throw us under the bus

Conductor of the angelic army symphony
Singing in harmony

Emancipation of your will to be free
Will your will be free?

LYRICS
My Son, do you know how far to the closest sun?
How far to the closest star…?
It’s feeling kind of dark in here
And, I hear it’s pretty near

Can you shine some light
And make us bright… enlighten insight
It’s been feeling pretty slight
So, I’m wondering how far to the closest star?
My Son, how far to the nearest sun?

LYRICS
Not so subtle
About as gentle as a blow to the brow
Somehow, I’m hoping for more mental
Less brutal for all

Maybe put our heads together
Don’t have to pledge it’s forever
Just join hands to understand
The things damned by man
Giving way to a brighter day
Past the pages of the Dark Ages
To a new era of pro-engage
See beauty
Hear harmony
See beauty
Here harmony

LYRICS
None to soon
We’ll be living on the moon
On our way through the stars
Maybe make home on mars

But the moon’s not mine
Can I mine the moon
And, do we want to leave our scars on mars?

Space debris as far as the eye can see
Another giant hunk of space junk
Orbital debris — a mess due to humanity
Humans have a taste for space waste
Leaving us the curse of the universe
Aliens will be left in strife
If they come looking for intelligent life
Come on, Man! Can “leave no trace”
Be our motto for space

Europe and Russia announced their joint plan to colonize the moon for the purpose of mining. From the moon, man would launch humans further out into space. NASA recently announced its plans for manned missions to mars.

Space debris, also known as orbital debris, space junk and space waste, is the collection of manmade defunct objects in orbit around Earth. This includes spent rocket stages, old satellites and fragments from disintegration, erosion and collisions. Since orbits overlap with new spacecraft, debris may collide with operational spacecraft.

As of 2009 about 19,000 pieces of debris larger than 5 cm (2 in) are tracked, while an estimated 300,000 pieces larger than 1 cm exist….

This is is
Before it turns to was
Because… then, this is will be was
So all the while I’ll
I’ll cherish this is
Until I perish, I’ll
Live in this is
Freewill will take what will be

Somehow, it becomes the here and now
Before this is becomes was
This is is going to be ours

LYRICS
What’s ailing you
Is it the alien eating away
From inside of you
Day by day by day by day

Is that right?
A parasite that might
Consume all of you
Might start with your heart,
Then, even your brain, too

You swallowed a larva and it started to grow
Before you know, a giant worm
Doing the alien squirm

Alien alien eating you from the inside
From your guts through your hide
Is that what’s ailing you
Better ask the doctor what to do

bookmark_borderSound at the Speed of Sound

LYRICS
“However, if you travel at the speed of sound in the opposite direction of the sound coming towards you, the sound will never get to you.”

Am I getting through?

Catch that sound
Wonder wanders… what sound at the speed of sound sounds like
Can sound be found at the speed of sound?
Will it slip right through my ears
Deaf to the music among the fears
Will the sound barrier be a dyke
Holding down the sound
Will pop music be unpopular
Because my sound couldn’t get that far?
Sound in need of some doppler
What can I do to get that sound to you
Catch the sound
And, send it back ’round to you
Step on the pedal for the ricochet echo effect
Onto all let the sound shower project
Resume with a sonic boom

Sound at the Speed of Sound.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Bm Cm Bm Am Bm

Dubstep

A song about making music at the speed of sound. What would it sound like if you were going the speed of sound and started playing music? “If you travel at the speed of sound directly at a sound, everything will be exactly one octave higher; however, if you travel at the speed of sound in the opposite direction of the sound coming towards you, the sound will never get to you.”

How the doppler will effect your sound:

alt text

Where: (f) is the observed frequency (what you hear), (f0) is the emitted frequency (what the original sound is), (V) is the velocity of waves in the medium (343 in this case), and (Vr) is the velocity of the receiver relative to the medium; positive if the receiver (audience) is moving towards the source.

LYRICS
Ping
Try a sonic ping
Sing
Listen if anyone bounces back at you
See if their ping comes into view
Similar to sonar…
Know how far… you can go
Activate energy in life-storage
See the energy
A rainbow of humanity collage
Touch them with your ping
Touch them when you sing
Send a signal to one and all
Spread the ping and sprawl
Singing. Pinging. Life-stored energy light up the world.
Ping singing unfurled
Wail like a whale… whale-like wail
May your ping ring true for you
Light up the world
Sail unfurled
Sail wail
Sing, “ping. ping. ping.”

Ping.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Cm F

Dubstep

A song about giving out energy by making music… having it touch others and activate their energy… then feeling it return. The humpback whale seems like one of the best examples:

The word “song” is used to describe the pattern of regular and predictable sounds made by some species of whales, notably the humpback whale. This is included with or in comparison with music, and male humpback whales have been described as “inveterate composers” of songs that are “‘strikingly similar’ to human musical traditions”

A humpback whale song can travel for hundreds of miles. Even if I use huge amplifiers, I can’t even seem to break a mile.

LYRIC
Sorry, I apologize. I didn’t mean to be ignorant… arrogant
I just thought it redundant — indigenous people
I mean I thought
I thought we were the people
No, wait… I mean
I thought we are the people?

We are the people

I don’t know if you found it
But, I found it abundant in being redundant

Indigenous people
I thought we were all people
And, indigenous all of us
Why create some sort-a fuss
Make people scream and cuss
Then add the S
Indigenous peoples
Is that racist by definition?
Guess you got me there
I realize once I classify people into peoples
That’s some sort-of racist declaration
And, that’s not what I suggest
I suggest we be less racist
’cause we are the people

We are the people

This is where you come in
The people

One, two… that’s at least me and you
