LYRICS
Don’t look now
Sacred cow
Sacrifice
At least the priest may falter
Sacrificial rites
Pray the prey on the alter
Puts up a godly fight

Not again?
Pure virgin
Sacrifice
At least the priest may falter
Sacrificial rites
Pray the prey on the alter
Puts up a godly fight

Thus began
All human
Sacrifice
At least the priest may falter
Sacrificial rites
Pray the prey on the alter
Puts up a godly fight

bookmark_borderThe Last Train

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The house is in disarray
What else can I say?
Said my brain is in decay
I might be on my way….
My thought caught
The last train
My mind
Doesn’t seem to mind
A train of thought
Off-track

There ain’t no thinking back
In a situation
Of a train having left the station
there she goes
Listen as the whistle blows

Chords: Dm C C Dm / Dm F F Dm / G F D; 152 and 128 BPM

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here I am
Think I can
Be human?
Think I can
Be human
Once again?
What’s your stance
Do you only live once
Or get a second chance
Born to die
Tell me why
I will try
In time I’m
Tryin’ for two
How ’bout you?
Here I am
Think I can
Be human?
Think I can
Be human
Once again?

LYRICS
Rough and tumble
May be the call
But, then…
When you get down to it all
The in’s and out’s
What it’s all about
Sometimes you win
Hope not to lose
Have to choose
To start over again
The in’s and out’s
What it’s all

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Exit is the way to get back in
From where you leave
Is where you go
Exit is the way to get back in
The moment you leave
You begin
From when you leave
You come to know
The past you weave
The future show
The door swings both ways
In or out decays
Consider in the stays
How to spend the day?

bookmark_borderFlying in the Face

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Drying on my face… more tears flow
Odds are low at coming to know
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying by the season of reason
There is no time for reason or rhyme
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

LYRICS
Hoping the days don’t fade away
Before the kids have a say
The power to understand
Lay in their hand
They’re looking out for all of us
Making the world more fabulous
They’re looking out for all of us
Giving faith to Miraculous

Hoping my days don’t slip away
Before the children make way (make way!)
The power to understand
Is at their command

Making the world more fabulous
They’re looking out for all of us

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new way to see ultraviolet… x-ray
A knew way to be
A non-violent all day

As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new way to live
Carefree freewill
A knew way to give
Start the heart we will

As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new entity
Collective our soul
A knew clarity
Extrospective our goal

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Back to the dark
Headed to light
Out of the dark
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

Not looking back
Headed to light
Getting the knack
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

Back to the dark
Facing the light
Head out of dark
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

Hello opportunity!
Oh so glad you see in me
The possibility
To be what I can be
The mortality
To stress the urgency
Have faith in humankind

Hello opportunity!
Oh so glad you see in me

To be what I can be

Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
There’s a whole world
To unfold
To envelop
Outside the envelope
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
[Dm7(11) jam]
There’s a big wide world
Yet to view
And a lot of things
Left to do
[A lot of things I’d love to do
With you]

Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
There’s a big wide world
Yet to view
And a lot of things
Left to do

Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
If picking both
is not a choice?
Might as well
Roll the dice
Craps! Snake eyes
Tell no lies
Keep rollin’

Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
Baby needs some new shoes
Hard to choose to lose
If picking both
is not a choice?
Might as well
Roll the dice
Craps! Snake eyes
Tell no lies
Keep rollin’
Keep rollin’

LYRICS
I didn’t hear the light switch click
Now I’m standing here
In the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

I didn’t know the sun went down
Don’t know where to go
In the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

Now come on
Who pulled the plug
Waiting on dawn
Through the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark
