Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wondering if it’s a given
All dogs go to heaven
Wondering what they’ll be sniffin’
Heard it smells in hell
But for heaven as well?
If you know the aroma, do tell

And their God you can not see
Her scent is a mystery
No sound for the ear to hear
Her scent escapes me
Certainly can’t touch much
Her scent is odor free
And your taste goes to waste
Her scent is a mystery

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about the dogma of dogma… does your god “exist”?

Style: Alternative Rock / Progressive
Chords: Am F#m / C G D / C C# Am / Am D; 94 BPM Organ Ballad
Recording: live digital 1-track stereo
Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards

LYRICS
Is anybody upstairs
Is anybody there
Putting faith in nothing
Anticipating something

Though we’re spinning round and round
We’re looking upward to be found
Rotations never slowing down
Going round and round

The logic of God is odd
Living for the approval nod
Selfish expression of sole sacrifice
Sugar and spice and everything nice

Is a supernatural being
Being natural at all?
No touching, hearing or seeing
Are you testing my gall?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Good God! Oh, my God!
… turn it to some heavenly colour.

I’ve been inspired to write a new lyric based on your inspiration.
It’s entitled “My Red Cup” (working title The Holy Grail)
All hail The Holy Grail
My cup is red, but usually only on Easter… er, a… I mean Good Friday. Better yet, roll it out during The Last Supper. “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” Now that I think about it, red cups for a long weekend would be Kosher. (Jesus! After all, I am a Jew.) Start with the plain red cup… then by Easter Sunday (when I rise)… turn it into some heavenly hue. If it’s not too much to ask of you? All hail The Holy Grail!

LYRICS
Have you humans no self worth?
Living on a giant pile of filth
Just selfishness and greediness
Leads inevitably to worthlessness

Does the Pope poop in the woods
A bear Catholic… believing God is good
Can you see the trees through the forest
If one falls can it be heard by the rest

Have you humans all gone mad
Not even the lightest bit sad
Am I standing here all alone
Thinking it’s a shame to trash our own home?

LYRICS
I have grave concerns about your graven concerns…

Just because I draw a picture of you
Doesn’t mean it’s of a graven view
The last thing I would want to do
Is worship anything to do with you

The only thing made of wood or stone
Appears to be the contents of your headbone
Why don’t you back off and leave it alone
Gather your marbles and head on home

Having a prophet profit fit
Isn’t helping matters the slightest bit
So go on doggie… get along… git’
Before world religions suffer another hit

What are you some sort-of buffoon?
Torah, Bible, Quran mention no cartoon
Peace and understanding happen none to soon
When the overlords of religion loom

LYRICS
When you can foresee
What will be
It doesn’t trouble me
When you can foresee
What will be
It doesn’t bother me

As they carry on in Sodom
Nero fiddles away
As they babble on in Babylon
Daniel sees the way:

[Daniel 2:19]…the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are Her’s.
21 She changes times and seasons;
She deposes kings and raises up others.
She gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 She reveals deep and hidden things;
She knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

LYRICS
You can believe in what you want to believe in
As long as your believe
Or else you’ll be *it*
A hypocrite

Do you have faith in what you believe
Then you’d better believe
You better believe in what you believe
Or that’s it
You’re the hypocrite

Do you want to believe in yourself
Then, go right ahead
As long as you believe in what you believe
Do you want to believe in God Almighty above
Then, go ahead
As long as you believe in what you believe
’cause there is this universal love
As long as you believe

Whether you want to believe it’s God above
Or, you believe it’s in your heart
As long as you start
Believe in what you believe

Let’s believe
We can relieve
The pain and suffering
Letting the love in
If you believe

You can believe in what you want to believe in
As long as your believe
We can believe if you believe
In the power of love

Posted on by admin

Then I saw a great white throne and She who was seated on it.
From Her presence earth and sky fled away,
no place was found for them.

I saw the dead,
great and small,
standing before the throne,
and books were opened.

Then another book was opened,
which is the book of life.
the dead were judged by what was written in the books,
according to what they had done.

The sea gave up the dead who were in it,
Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them,
they were judged,
each one of them,
according to what they had done.

Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.
This is the second death, the lake of fire.

If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life,
he was thrown into the lake of fire.

LYRICS

Whirling. Twirling. Spinning ever faster
Whipping yourself into a euphoric state
Going round and round and round
Hoping religion will be found

Hiding. Hunting. Hoping for an Easter
Praying resurrection is your fate

Devilish Whirling Dervish
Religious ecstasy
Devilish Whirling Dervish
Touching divinity

Make the whirling yours
Make the whirling mine
Create the whirling epiphany
Make the whirling divine

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Am C
Am G D Am

Written and recorded on January 15, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 6-track stereo, extemporaneous recording.

The Mawlaw’īyya / Mevlevi Order, or the Mevlevilik / Mevleviye (Persian: مولويه‎ – Molavīyeh) is a Sufi order founded in Konya (present-day Turkey) by the followers of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian. They are also known as the Whirling Dervishes due to their famous practice of whirling as a form of dhikr (remembrance of God).

The Mawlawi believe in performing their dhikr in the form of a “dance” and musical ceremony known as the Sama, which involves the whirling, from which the order acquired its nickname. The Sema represents a mystical journey of man’s spiritual ascent through mind and love to the “Perfect”. Turning towards the truth, the follower grows through love, deserts his ego, finds the truth, and arrives at the “Perfect”. He then returns from this spiritual journey as a man who has reached maturity and a greater perfection, able to love and to be of service to the whole of creation.

Snake Handling Immortal Tongue Speakers

Handle snakes
Speak in tongues
Climb the ladder
To the highest rung
Then, take that leap
Leap

Da, da, da, de, da
Jah jah jah jah
We’re speaking in tongues
Handling snakes
Whatever it takes
To get to know
To get to show

Kabbalah

The message is one
The message is won

Handle snakes
Speak in tongues
Do whatever comes
To get the message out
To get the message in
To get the message through to you

First, take in
Then, chew
The parts we can spew
And, hope to get the message through

We are the seekers

If you go out of the house today
You better not go alone
If you go out of the house today
You’re better off staying at home

The last minute shoppers will run all over you
They’ll walk all over you, too
Then, instead of your Christmas being white… it’ll be blue

Make us into circle hoppers
Got to jump through hoops
They shop, shop, shop until they drop
The last minute shoppers run all over

LYRICS
I feel something in the innards
Around the solar plexus
Though describing it perplexes
A touch of God’s is obvious

Pray for today
Your rewards come tomorrow
Pray through the day
May your next one follow

I feel something in my heart
Some sorts of Love’s hexes
Though explaining it perplexes
A touch of God’s is obvious

Chorus

I feel something… let us sing!
Let us be Love’s chorus
Emulate what we can’t articulate
A touch of God’s is obvious
