Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Russia is rushin’
To a third world war
Rushin’ and pushin’
To nuclear horror
No to war
The people
Take to the streets
No to defeat

Russia is rushin’
Toward genocide
Rushin’ and pushin’
Along for the ride
End the gore
No to war
The people
Take to the streets
No to defeat

Russia is rushin’
The edge of a cliff
Rushin’ and pushin’
With stiff upper lip
How much more?
No to war!
The people
Take to the streets
No to defeat

LYRICS
We saw it coming
Beyond mind numbing
Such the farce
From the arse
Blowin’ wind

We saw it coming
Beyond mind numbing
Oil n’ gas
Pass to past
Blowinininin in wind
Putin puttin’ money
Where his mouth is
Political show biz
His mouth is where his head is
Where’s his head, you ask?
… up his a$$

LYRICS
Chariots of fire
Desire The End
To transpire
Raining hellfire
Higher the trend
Reeks of dire
How quaint
The picture you paint
Your quest
March to death
Killing time
It’s a crime

In case I’m not clear
The time draws near
We’ve got to get out of here

Please let me steer

Do you want to tell me things
Please do
Pull up a chair
My ears are aware

bookmark_borderOn a Roll

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
1 and 2 then 3 of a kind
Just one ace left
For you to find
On a roll
To the goal
Won’t get fooled
Fool’s gold

Jack of clubs, ace of spades
Into the depths
The soul wades
To the goal
Takes its toll
Won’t play the fool
Fool’s gold

Counting as fast as I can
Mounting as the run ran
Roll and roll again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You can say that again
And, how…
… wow… now
Somehow
Got to find some higher ground
Take a step back… look around
See all there is to see
All a being can be

You can say that again
You can say that again
And, how…
… wow… now
Somehow
Climb up to some higher ground
Get a glimpse of looking down
See all there is to see
All a being can be

You can say that again
You can say that again
And, how…
… wow… now
Somehow
Pull you up to higher ground
Show you what can be found
See all there is to see
Be all beings can be

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you satisfied
Before you’ve died
(Are you satisfied?)
Are you satisfied
At the way you live
Are you satisfied
At the way you give
When the afterlife
Is calling you
Have you paid your due
As the afterlife
Starts calling you
What will you do?

LYRICS
Could have would have
Come to understanding
If could would have
Tried
Would have could have
Been left standing
Instead the world
Cried
It’s in the hands of Man
Don’t you think we can?

Could have would have
Been left standing
Instead should would
Die
Now, that we’ve come to understanding
Don’t you think we should
Try
It’s in the hands of Man
Don’t you think we can?
It’s in the hands of Man
Don’t you know we can

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The bright blue hue
Is starting to fade from view
Evening’s due
A guitar busk
On the verge of dusk
Mental roadtrip is a must
It’s out of body or bust

Shades of gray
As the bright blue hue fades away
Evening’s way
On the verge of dusk
Mental roadtrip is a must
It’s out of body or bust

Shades of gray
No looking back turns to black
Evening’s knack
On the verge of dusk
Mental roadtrip is a must
It’s out of body or bust

Get up!
And shake off some of that dust
Don’t ya think

In “what the heck?”
Oooooooh

In a dream
(So it seems)
1 o’clock
Knock knock
At the door
Flat on back
Feat of feet
Hit the floor
Am I dreaming any more?
Awake or walking in my sleep
To take or giving to think deep?

Though my bags are packed
My engines on
Rest assured
I won’t be runnin’
Needs fulfilled
Nothing lacks
Look to the dawn

You’ll see peace
Look to the West
The End Quest
Look to the North
You’ll see worth
Look to the South
For self-worth

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
She said,
“If it’s not one thing or another….”
To bed
If it was my way
And she had her druthers
We’d wed
The notion right out of her head
’til dead
Love potion
Might be feeding her head
Upon introspection
I see her reflection
Ripples upon pond
Expanding beyond

LYRICS
A full moon is rising soon
Shadows are on the prowl
Rising soon under the full moon
The dogs are on the howl
Bark at the moon
A lunar loon
Thick in lunatic
All turns bright
The moonlight
Arranging what’s made of night
