LYRICS
Gnaw! Gnaw1
Claw it raw
(Raw, raw)
To the bone
Unsheathe the teeth
And bring it home
Prey gives way
Bequeath
Breathe

I suppose the bunny didn’t find it funny
Gnaw! Gnaw1
Claw it raw
Guess that deer didn’t know you were near
Gnaw! Gnaw1
Claw it raw
To the bone
Unsheathe the teeth
And bring it home
Prey gives way
Bequeath
Breathe

You caught a cow? I wonder how….
Gnaw! Gnaw1
Claw it raw
Guess pigs can fly (or they’re gonna die)
Gnaw! Gnaw1
Claw it raw
To the bone
Unsheathe the teeth
And bring it home
Prey gives way
Bequeath
Breathe

LYRICS
What’s become clear
Got to get out of here
The nick of time
Is at the peak of prime
I’m on my way
To find a day
Never would have thought
This is what we bought
Didn’t cross my mind
The upshot of “Land?Mine!”

What’s become clear
The battlefield we fear
We have engaged
Mother Nature’s outrage
I’m on my way
To find a day
Never would have thought
This is what we bought
Didn’t cross my mind
The upshot of “Land?Mine!”

What’s become clear
Departure time is near
Feel it inside
It’s time to ride
I’m on my way
To find a day
Never would have thought
This is what we bought
Didn’t cross my mind
The upshot of “Land?Mine!”

bookmark_borderRules of Nature

LYRICS
Don’t blame your mama
She wouldn’t know
Likely your karma
Said, “Round I go!”
The birds and the bees
Flowers and trees
Abide the rules of nature
No one under the sky
Will survive “to die”
Head high till put to pasture
… rules of nature
Endure for sure

Though days are numbered
There’s still more show
Roar of the thunder
Space cadet glow
The birds and the bees
Flowers and trees
Abide the rules of nature
No one under the sky
Will survive “to die”
So, try enjoy endure
… rules of nature
Endure for sure

Live every minute
Mind on the go
Cherish the moment
You never know
The birds and the bees
Flowers and trees
Abide the rules of nature
No one under the sky
Will survive “to die”
Going for self-induced rapture
… rules of nature
Endure for sure

Will you ever come again
Rain reign
When will you begin
Without a doubt
Got to end the drought
This lack of rain’s insane

Arrived this very day

Are you here to stay?

I ventured on outside
Indentured to decide

I reckoned to jump-start
At heart
Take warmth in the nurture

Enamored worldwide
All tried
Then pondered the wonder
To wander in freedom
Awesome
Take warmth in the nurture

Take stock in the future

You ventured to outside
Been guided to decide

The ones that come true
