LYRICS
As I gape
At Merlin’s great escape

Through the valley of the giants
And a giant rat that rants
Overheated. Run out of coolants
In the land of the ignorants

The King is a Queen
Lacking self-esteem
Takin’ it out by being mean
Woke-up in a nightmare dream

The Grim Reaper renders
Souls surrendered
No on remembers
From render to rendered

From Ygraine came Arthur
Now for Merlin to take it further
Dear Guinevere you’d fear
Ya gotta get out of here!

As I gape
At Merlin’s great escape

LYRICS
Never sat upon a throne
Never wore a crown
Never called himself King
That’s just the thing

I never called myself King Of The Jew
How about you?

And, how would you
Like a crown of thorn
On your throne
Crucifixion
Soul extinction?
At least not a lone
(He was then crucified and hung between two convicted thieves.)

Hung out to dry
Hung out to die
Hung out
Without doubt

“After being flogged, Jesus was mocked by Roman soldiers as the “King of the Jews”, clothed in a purple robe, crowned with thorns, beaten and spat on. Jesus then had to make his way to the place of his crucifixion.”

He was then crucified and hung between two convicted thieves.

LYRICS
We’ve a common thread
And it comes from where we’re bred
Take a look and see
It’s right there in our ancestry

Somerled King Of The Isles
In years travel back in miles
To Charlemagne King Of The Franks
Thanks!
You can see it in our smiles

Arthur didn’t call himself king
And get this… here’s the thing
Neither did Jesus
If it weren’t for them
There wouldn’t be us
I wouldn’t be who I am

St. Columba of the Nine Hostages
Concubines, priests and princesses
Frankly Francus of the Franks
Judah, Jacob, Isacc, Abraham
All part of who I am
Thanks Noah for the rainbow
And for Adam and Lilith
Delivereth

LYRICS
Don’t let some alligator
Be an agitator
Don’t let some crocodile
Steal your smile
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

Don’t let some snapping turtle
Prove a hurdle
Don’t let some boa constrictor
Constrict ya
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

Don’t let some rattle snake
Confidence shake
Don’t let some lizard
Curse your wizard
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E G A E

This song was inspired by the angels I’ve been bumping into. Some of them seem to have a severe aversion to serpents. Take it as a tongue-in-cheek metaphor?

“Awesome. Reminded me of Shel Silverstine.” — Matthew Cicchetti

Made in the USA (Lake Wynonah, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

You don’t need to,
Share the wealth,
Just as you can’t,
Share good health.

But, you can,
Share your love,
Spread it thick,
Or, spread it thin.

The dead,
Or quick?

Rise above,
Evil kin,
Dance and move,
While you’ve the skin.
Rise above,
The lowly sin,
Flying high,
Again.

Lord, despite my moans,
Thanks for these bones.
These bones gonna rise again.
Lord, despite my wine-in’,
Thanks for this skin.
From a puddle of mud,
My blood,
And, I thank you so.
So, here I go,
Spreading it thick,
While of the quick.

I’ll be your blood vessel… flesh castle,
A Holy Grail set for sail,
Flesh castle,
Blood vessel.
