Autumn Twilight

Posted on October 29, 2014October 29, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
In the Fall, before the leaves fall
Hard to believe it’s the color of dying
All in all, could be a good call
Relieves and re-lives in the Spring
Funny thing… once you gain understanding
The color of the foliage and old age
Takes on a whole new meaning

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

Starlight, star bright… first star I see tonight
Or are you a planet
Venus, Mercury or Mars?
Thought jars… light traveled so far

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

LYRICS
French police warn about scary clowns
Earlier this month in the US, there were several reports of scary clowns in California, Florida …

In France, police say groups are organising online to track down the clowns and they’re taking the matter very seriously. “Anyone, aggressive clowns or clown hunters, found in possession of a weapon in a public place will be arrested and can be held in police custody,” said a police statement. They’ve urged the public to stop spreading rumours online and have issued information on how to send an alert about an aggressive clown.
— BBC

Aggressive clown or clown hunter
You’re going down
Stumble blunder
Be the brunt of the clown

In France, the latest dance
Werewolves Of London
London Bridge undone
Falling down
The brunt of the clown

London bridge is falling down
My fair lady
That clown looks shady
I ain’t clowin’ around

Fishtales

Posted on October 28, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Jonah in an ocean swale
Swallowed by a giant whale
Sound fishy to you
Yeah… me, too

“Just spit him out!”

It’s been three long days
And three long nights
I’ve realized my ways
When it’s right to fight

Flee… no not me!
Just spit me free

Can’t flee from the presence of the Lord

Can’t flee from the essence of the Lord

No sense unless in the presence of the Lord

Fishtales.mp3

Commanded by God to go to the city of Nineveh to prophesy against it “for their great wickedness is come up before me,” Jonah instead seeks to flee from “the presence of the Lord” by going to Jaffa and sailing to Tarshish, which, geographically, is in the opposite direction. A huge storm arises and the sailors, realizing this is no ordinary storm, cast lots and discover that Jonah is to blame. Jonah admits this and states that if he is thrown overboard, the storm will cease. The sailors try to dump as much cargo as possible before giving up, but feel forced to throw him overboard, at which point the sea calms. The sailors then offer sacrifices to God. Jonah is miraculously saved by being swallowed by a large fish where he spends three days and three nights. While in the great fish, Jonah prays to God in his affliction and commits to thanksgiving and to paying what he has vowed. God commands the fish to spew Jonah out.

Quoted in all Religions Of The Book

Jonah, Jonas or Younis (Hebrew: יוֹנָה, Modern Yona Tiberian Yônā ; dove; Arabic: يونس‎ Yūnus, Yūnis or يونان Yūnān ; Latin: Ionas) is the name given in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament) to a prophet of the northern kingdom of Israel in about the 8th century BC. He is the eponymous central character in the Book of Jonah, famous for being swallowed by a fish or a whale, depending on translation. The Biblical story of Jonah is repeated, with a few notable differences, in the Qur’an.

Blonde

Songwriting at Everhart Park, West Chester, PA

LYRICS
Is your blonde hair for real
Do you do it just for appeal
Or is it more a jacket
To fit the hypocrite

Come on what’s the deal
Tell us how you really feel
Let’s get out of the racket
Into a better fit

Come from there… we’ll fly away
To a better day… don’t care what people say

Do you want fate to seal
What could be your final appeal
Or is it time to ratchet
The notch up a bit

Gossip And Lies

LYRICS
Everything I read has got to be true
Everything I see has got to be true
How could I ever think of something new
How could I ever think of anything knew

The gossip factory
Taking over society

Whisper down the lane it’s all the same
Sister, don’t you think it’s really lame
How could you… knowing what you knew
Down and dirty’s the way you do

The gossip factory
Taking over society

Proverbs 6:16-19
Haughty eyes
Tongue that lies
Blood of innocent
Wicked hearts descent
Flight to evilness
To bear false witness
Anyone who so’s, sows…
Discord… Dis-chord
Praise the Lord

The Mask

Posted on October 27, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
If you’ve got the stranger-danger
The task — wear the mask

Chorus
Sit on back and relax
Once you’re behind the mask
Let it bask
Behind the mask

If you are a too shy guy
Just put on the mask
As in a Halloween scene
In your role you’re cast

Chorus

Inside out without a doubt
Just put on the mask
Iron Man the man of irony
The character they see

Chorus

Super Matt can fly through the sky
Once behind the mask
Nothing is too hard if you try
Power of the mask

Chorus

You can be your own superhero
Just create a mask
Go to 160 (MPH) from zero
Once behind the mask

Chorus

Written and recorded in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA

I started writing the song on a Saturday while sitting on the wall of the old courthouse. A youngster came up to the statue wearing an Iron Man costume. When I asked him what the costume was, he wouldn’t reply. His mother said, “He has stranger danger.” So, I started thinking about the power of wearing a mask. The next day I was finishing the song and a youngster came up to the statue wearing a mask and a cape with a big “M” on it. I asked him what the costume was, and he was too shy to reply. His father said, “Super Matt. His name is Mathew.” Then, he picked his son up over his head and started flying him around. Let your true nature be seen when you’re behind a mask.

Giddy up
To the divvy up
Let’s see
If you keep all
For we

The order’s not that tall
Will you keep it all?

Plenty

A pretty penny
Doesn’t have to be this tough

LYRICS
My Grandma and your Grandma
Are sitting by the fire
Wondering why we don’t fan the flames higher
(… just a little higher)

And I pride myself on not being too proud
Not to quite and not too loud

My Grandpa and your Grandma
Are sitting ever higher
Wondering why we don’t and aspire
(… just a little higher)

And I try myself to be the best I can
A likeness to a human

Diwali

Diwali (Deep-a-ville)

LYRICS
[dih-wah-lee]

Light over dark under light over dark under light over dark under light over dark

light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair

Right, I see the light
I’m on my way there

light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance
Fairness and tolerance
Defeat arrogance
Unseat indifference

good over evil
Understood goodwill

Goodwill toward men
again and again

Diwali.mp3

[dih-wah-lee]

note:

The King James Version of the Bible translates the words of the angels differently from modern versions, using the words “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (where the word “men” is used generically to mean “people” or “human beings”). Most Christmas carols reflect this older translation, with It Came Upon the Midnight Clear, for example, using the words “Peace on the earth, good will to men, / From Heaven’s all gracious King.”

Diwali also known as Deepavali and the “festival of lights”, is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. The festival preparations and rituals typically extend over a five day period, but the main festival night of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. In the Gregorian calendar, Diwali night falls between mid-October and mid-November.

An Epic Epic.mp3

LYRICS
When the words start to roam
into a long poem
derived from an ancient oral tradition
The succession of ambition
narrating the deeds and adventures
of heroic and legendary figures
The planting of seeds and paying back of indentures
How humanity of humans will configure

Glory in story,
Mama and Papa saga,
Bend into legend,
Word dance romance,
Ironical chronicle,
Mirth from myth,
Label as fable,
Unveil a tale
End with The End

The Rama Drama:

On completion of the ritual six seasons have passed by
and then in the twelfth month,
on the ninth day of Chaitra month [April-May,]
when the presiding deity of ruling star of the day is Aditi,
where the ruling star of day is Punarvasu (Nakshatra),
the asterism is in the ascendant, and when five of the nine planets viz.,
Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus are at their highest position,
when Jupiter with Moon is ascendant in Cancer, and when day is advancing,
then Queen Kausalya gave birth to a son with all the divine attributes like
lotus-red eyes, lengthy arms, roseate lips, voice like drumbeat,
and who took birth to delight the Ikshwaku dynasty,
who is adored by all the worlds,
and who is the greatly blessed epitome of Vishnu, namely Rama.

LYRICS
Mirrored in the things you do
Is a reflection of you
Footsteps in the snow
Revealing which way you go

The words you say put in play
A narration of our day
The surface that’s fractured
Are the image that’s captured

The trail we cut and burn
Will be a lesson for all to learn
The imprint we’ve left behind
For forever will remind

LYRICS
If you want to quench your thirst
You’ve gotta get to the river first
If you want to calm the storm
You’ve gotta cool where the water’s warm

If we can behave on the crest of a wave
Ride the tide

When you find the money makers
And money shakers are the money takers
Turn to the kind embracing kind
Then, you’ll release the peace of mine

If we can behave on the crest of a wave
Ride the tide
