Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s been reported
Daylight is getting shorter
Sunshine aborted
The year’s final quarter
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again

Sun’s been thwarted
By the Earth’s axis
Going wholehearted
Into the depths of Christmas
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again

ABOUT THE SONG
The winter solstice, hiemal solstice or hibernal solstice occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. The winter solstice was immensely important because the people were economically dependent on monitoring the progress of the seasons. Starvation was common during the first months of the winter, January to April, also known as “the famine months”. The majority of wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking at this time. The concentration of the observances were not always on the day commencing at midnight or at dawn, but at the beginning of the pagan day, which in many cultures fell on the previous eve. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
Soon as October started
Felt like it was over
Now know November
The next endeavor
Come December
Never ceasing season of peace
Reigning down love from above
And at The End
The angels descend

Then came December
A time we’ll remember
From hustle n’ bustle alarm
To silent night calm
Dreaming on (and on and on)
Never ceasing season of peace
Raining down love from above
And at The End
The angels descend

I knew you wouldn’t go far
Right there you are
Just the kind of friend
I want to have to The End

To mutually understand

From the beginning
To the happy ever after ending
Until we meet again
Forever a friend
Together whether together

In the vain
Of one and the same
Post-modern slang
For ying and yang
Together whether together
Together weather together

[instrumental jam]

From the beginning
To the happy ever after ending
Universal message send:
Forever a friend
Together whether together
Together weather together

LYRICS
My heart is going to explode
Now, your heart’s my abode
The way you display your posture
I’m sure of a pure future
Through your eyes
I realize
Adapt our hope
Yes, know no nope
I can see within you
There’s a lot we can do
When I listen to what there is to say
I can see the way to the day
Raise our spirits!
Can you hear it?
Raise our spirits!

LYRICS
Yeah, the top dog hopped upon his spot
No, his name’s not spot
It’s not
It’s knot
Top dog
He’s the top dog
Jumped upon my bed
On top
Decides to lay his head
… on… my bed
On top
Now, he’s the top dog
I’m the man cog
He’s the top dog
Knot tied tight
Knot tied right
Not naughty
Not knot
Good dog?
Great dog.
Top dog
He’s a great dog
Rate dog: top dog

Humbled…
In your presence
I mumbled,
“Your loyal peasant.”
I serve at your will
Deserve to serve
Without you…
I’m nil
Indent
Servant
“Have none. Will Travel.”
In the event,
I may…
After all,
I’m going that way
Indentured
Indent sure
Servant, Sir, vent!

Of the people

LYRICS
I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They call you the forgotten one
Mother Nature’s son
Forgot that to keep you in
Is a mortal sin
Time to think and think again
About letting you out

I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They say your only goal:
To save our soul
By spreading the Christmas cheer
And ringing in the new year
For it’s not to late to believe
Give to receive

Take off running
Spread your wings
Brings beautiful things
Take-off

LYRICS
Heaven on Earth
Given a birth
Life unfurled
Joy to our world
On a wander
Stop to ponder
In a wonder wonderland
Taking her hand I understand
Glories of the grand

Won’t let them waste away
Precious is the day
Take advantage of the birth
For what it’s worth
On a wander
Stop to ponder
In a wonder wonderland
Taking her hand I understand
Glories of the grand

LYRICS
There’s one thing in life that’s for sure
You’ve got to love love…
And all that’s in store
Never know when you’ll hit the floor
Soon you’ll be knocking on heaven’s door
Just like that
Right back for more

Dear God,
I pray you recycle
Don’t want to be Gabriel or Michael
A highfalutin angel or laudy daudy
I want flesh and bone… give me a body
Same as before
Just like that
Right back for more

Appreciate what I’ve been given
But, I can’t get enough of this living
Never bored to death nor to die for
Not “The End”… to be continued… another door
Just like that
Right back for more
Just like that….

LYRICS
When that feeling comes over me
Oh, Lord, makes me want to plead
Oh, please! Oh, no, oh, please
Don’t let him bleed
Beyond absolute
That baby is too damn cute
Under advise
Would be be shame to sacrifice
And on and on and on it goes
Personal demons are the greatest foes
Forgive the sinner from all his woes
So why oh why must he die?
If we all promise not to sin
We pray he can go on living
And on and on and on it goes
Personal demons are the greatest foes
Forgive the sinner from all his woes

LYRICS
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my destiny
To clearly see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow the star

No gold, frankincense or myrrh
Who could ask for more
Though I’m not a wealthy king
In the heart, all of my love I bring

How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my odyssey
To finally see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow the star
(chorus)
