LYRICS
Can you rest on the pride of your breast
Do you think that’s heavens gate’s test
Can you confess to anything less
Nevertheless, this is our mess
The more you pound
The more you thrust
The more robust?
Can you rest on the pride of your breast
Consider the soul’s incest in your nest
Consider the soul’s incest in your “ness”

LYRICS
Woke up this morning nearly fell out of bed
Had to make sure I was wearing my head
Woke up this morning nearly fell out of bed
What the heck
Thank God for my neck
Woke up this morning… when I hit the deck
I thought I knew what I could expect
Woke up this morning and hit the deck
What the heck
Thank God for my neck
Woke up this morning and started to pray
This is all I could figger’ to say
Woke up this morning and started to pray
“What the heck…
Thank God, for my neck!”
Last thing I remember I lost my head
Can’t recall exactly what I said
What the heck
Thank God for my neck

LYRICS
The louder their voice
The bigger the noise
Verse
In the name of sound
Let us rejoice
Listen ’round
For the sound
Can be found
The louder their voice
The bigger the noise
A cracker that’s wise
… no loud-mouth disguise
Repeat verse
Fly away with me on a sound cloud
Have we forgot
If we listen not
If we listen not
It’s hard to get to heaven if we listen not
If we listen not

LYRICS
A long line…
Grand ma, a concubine
And, I do believe Eve
Went with a serpent
Aren’t women heaven sent
Or are they all hell bent
The labyrinth prison sin
Can you find your way out
Without doubt?
In a field full of mines
Serpents and concubines
A man repents
Serpents and concubines
In a field full of minds
Serpents and concubines

LYRICS
Who would have ever thought it’d turn into this
I almost turned right into your kiss
Ahhhhh….
A lady right from the start
Jumpstart my heart
Who could have known you’d bring on the bliss
With a kiss?
A lady right from the start
Jumpstart my heart
Turn to the East
Turn to the West
Turn to the one you love best

LYRICS
Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples!
An evolution revolution
Living like we’re in Antiquity
What did we expect would be?
What did we expect we’d see?
Mid-evil?
We’re more than half way there
Medieval
The details of the devil
At this level…
Beware!
Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples!
The crumbling of the steeples
Watch “The Empire”: transpire
ABOUT THIS SONG

In European history, the Middle Ages / Medieval period, lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: Antiquity, Medieval, and Modern. The Medieval period is also subdivided into the Early, the High, and the Late Middle Ages.
Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples, which had begun in Late Antiquity, continued in the Early Middle Ages. The barbarian invaders, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. — Wikipedia

Gravitational Pull Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
32 feet per second per second
Gravitational pull
The higher they climb
The faster they fall
Gonna be Mother Nature’s fool?
Gravitational pull — exponential
We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon
The more indecent
Sense decent
Acceleration — gravitational
Smaller steps are what you take
Walking on the Earth
For crying out loud! For goodness sake!
Be a creature… or afterbirth?
We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon
The more indecent
Sense decent

Where ever you may roam
Whichever way you go
Your heart is your home
Where ever you may start
Whatever you may know
Your home is in your heart
The love part
Is in the heart
The love part
Is in your heart
Get shot in the heart
A love injection
Get shot in the heart
Spreading like an infection
Get shot in the heart
A love laced dart
Get lanced in the heart

Obscured By Clouds Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
As I look up in the sky
Watching and waiting for the clouds to roll by
I wonder what shape they will take
I wonder what picture we’ll make
Just for fun
The clouds obscure the sun
As I look up… wonder why
Watching and waiting for the crowds to roll by
I wonder… for goodness sake
When will we start to quake?
Just for fun
The clouds obscure the sun

LYRICS
Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice
* I’m starting to think
That won’t happen tonight
(If that’s alright?)
Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice
*
Fool me one time
Fool me twice
And I’m done throwing dice
*
Fool me one time
Then do it again
It’s time for foreboding to begin
… just a warning… the dog does bite
ABOUT THIS SONG

Based on a conversations about contrails. Clouds are clouds. They are made of H2O / water. That is it. When air passes through jet engines, it creates linear clouds. There are no added chemicals… for that is not possible.

LYRICS
Shake your head
Get the dust our of bed
Shed your troubles
Pray it doubles
When you dance
There’s a chance
We will glance
A glimpse of reality
When you dance
There’s a chance
Non-circumstance
Is sur-reality

Another Sea Shanty Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
Another sea shanty that goes like this
If you’re full of vinegar and of piss
Then, come along for a ride on the high sees
Chorus
On a sea so green
Under a sky so blue
Understand what mean does mean
And how truth hold true
Stow the mizzen mast
Swab the poop deck
Storm ain’t gonna pass
Don’t wanna shipwreck
Chorus
What do you say we stowaway
For a ride on the high sees!

LYRICS
We need a “look out” look out
Do you know
What will it take to soften the blow
Can you show
How to fulfill the missing link?
It’s not as hard as you think!
It’s not as hard as you think!
Do you know
Which direction we should go
Does time flow
As though… life is just… must just be a blink
It’s not as hard as you think!
It’s not as hard as you think!
When we learn to look deep within
We’ll begin
Looking out
Look out!
