An album of songs in support of Ukraine

If You Believe in God

LYRICS
Feel the onslaught coming
Enter the terror reign
See the forces are bombing
The human error rain
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?

Evils not relenting
Reign of terror remains
See all the rules bending
Beyond moral restrains
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?

The battlelines redrawing
Extend the terror range
At our hearts it’s gnawing
Do you find guilt strange?
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?
Amen
A Men
All men
Human

Drums of War

LYRICS
The drums of war
Are growing louder
Chimpanzees
Thump their chests louder
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“No more war!”
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“War no more!”
Wars can cease
Ring in peace
May wars cease
Bring in peace

The guns of war
Are growing louder
Enemies
Keep dry powder
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“No more war!”
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“War no more!”
Wars can cease
Ring in peace
May wars cease
Bring in peace

The pain of war
Is crying louder
Chimpanzees
Could not be prouder
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“No more war!”
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“War no more!”
Wars can cease
Ring in peace
May wars cease
Bring in peace

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

Chariots of fire

The picture you paint
Your quest
March to death
Killing time

The Spoils of War

LYRICS
Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
You cast your die
Die is your fate

Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
You’re in too deep
To keep irate

Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
Cut off your nose
to spite your face
Lord knows
Human race disgrace

Far From the War

LYRICS
Your second lease
Your chance for peace

Time, time will tell
If you fare well
Reach for the beach
In an ocean full of tears
Terror of worse fears
For what seems years and years
Swimming for sure / shore
Far from the war

Your second chance
To choose romance
Is within reach
Time, time will tell
If you fare well
Reach for the beach
In an ocean full of tears
Terror of worse fears
For what seems years and years
Swimming for sure / shore
Far from the war

Your final stand
For love’s demand
Is within reach
Time, time will tell
If you fare well
Reach for the beach
In an ocean full of tears
Terror of worse fears
For what seems years and years
Swimming for sure / shore
Far from the war

Gremlin in the Kremlin

LYRICS
What’s the answer
So perplexing
Witches’ hexing
Please tell me, sir
A gremlin in charge of the Kremlin
With a narcissist twist
The underground children trembling
Politicians are rambling
A gremlin in charge of the Kremlin
With a narcissist twist
The underground children trembling
With their lives we’re gambling
For Christ’s sake
How much can they take?

You Kraine

LYRICS
You had me right from the get-go
Now it’s time to let go
How it’s time for me to let go
The world’s about to know
Our resistance
The essence
Of presence

You had me right from the get-go
Now it’s time to let go
Want all the world to know?
Uh oh… oh no!
Our resistance
The essence
Of presence

You had me right from the get-go
Now it’s time to let go
Is it time to throw the last blow
Oh oh you know
Our resistance
The essence
Of presence

You’ve Got to Love It

LYRICS
You’ve got to love it
The spirit
The soul
The way they roll
You’ve got to love it
When tyranny is too close to see
And you can’t be
Where you want to be
There’s a thrive
To stay alive

You’ve got to love it
The spirit
The soul
The way they roll
You’ve got to love it
When tragedy is too close to me
And I can’t be
Where I want to be
There’s a thrive
To stay alive

You’ve got to love it
The spirit
The soul
The way they roll
You’ve got to love it
The harmony we can bring to be
Will get us where we need to be
There’s a thrive
To stay alive

LYRICS
Have I been here before
Would I come back for more
The memory escapes me
Carnage and gore
Who wants more war?
A rational from hell
Men striking their pose
Theater of war game
Men spreading their woes
Humane’s not the same
… gone insane
Mass hallucination nation

LYRICS
You call this art? Need a blood flowchart
The art of warfare is everywhere
I could sure start with a blood flowchart
Beware of the blood-flow over there
I wouldn’t want you to step in it
It’s worse than stepping in… worse than stepping in… stepping in $hit
The art of warfare is everywhere

A picture’s worth a thousands words
A million words can’t describe the toll of a sole soul
The art of warfare is everywhere
Ya know this ain’t Vincent Van Gogh
We make Picasso look less absurd

The risk to every art critic… you’re gonna get hit
There’s a fan… and, when the $hit gets to it… you’re gonna get hit
The art of warfare is everywhere

Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey

Posted on November 25, 2015November 25, 2015 by admin

Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey.mp3

LYRICS
May I say, happy holiday? Can you tell me, “How do you like your turkey?”
Our recipe for catastrophe:
Now, somehow Moscow resides on both sides
In France, they’re doing the (anti)terror dance
Invoking the Kremlin gremlin
The Kremlin gremlin provoking a turkey basting
Are you telling me I am the delicacy? Noooo… I don’t wanna be in the recipe!
Too many cooks in the kitchen… too many kooks in the kitchen
And, here I am sayin’, “I need a die-a-gram”

All the while up to their ears in Syria diarrhea
Some sick Islamic
Don’t ya think that’ll stink?
Leave it up to their fears in Syria diarrhea
You ISIS? I is not ISIS
No Boca Raton killing marathon
While Al-Shabaab rape n’ rob
Run as fast as you can from the Taliban
Oh my gawd! No Jihad
Please read the Qur’an agin’
Is that what is meant? The Qur’an is based on the New Testament… which is based on the Old Testament. We’re all on top of the same base-meant.
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

The Saudi’s out of Yemen
Can I get an Amen?
They ran from Iran
More than a crack in Iraq
Now who’s gettin’ in
Na, na, na not China
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

What’s left of the leftovers? What’s the deal with this holiday meal? I’ve been rooked… the turkey’s over-cooked! What else can I say on Thanksgiving Day?

Eggbeater circling overhead
And machine-gunners to dread
Supersonic surveillance boats afloat
This is how you spent your vote

Home of the not so free
Home of the not so brave
Is that how you want to be
Is that any way to behave

America what are you doing
What is in your head
America what’s pursuing
Do ya wanna end up dead

Dowsed and lit… rampage for a bit

LYRICS
Hard to believe the pace
Of our latest arms race
Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan
Not really sure which wars we’re in?
Ukraine, Syria, Iran…
You reign? Seriously, I ran

Where to begin….
Russia rushing in
For crying out loud
While all the while Putin actin’ proud
Crimea Annexation
Cry me a river (exasperation!)

Unbelievable human race
Gonna leave us without a trace
Spreading like Malaria in Nigeria
I’s is in hysteria
Isis and Boko Haram
Teenage hostage harem

Modern Warfare

LYRICS
The invention of a killing convention
Stealth drone flown to bomb your home
Nothing’s fair in love and war

Modern warfare
So unaware
DA! Double dare
Modern warfare

Mass hallucination hysteria
Dilution of civilization — the staging area
Nothing’s fair in love and war

Blowout navy bomb your baby
Drop your jaw shock and awe
Nothing’s fair in love and war

For the strike force coarse source
Just look in the mirror…
And you’ll be nearer to seeing clearer
Are you aware
You are warfare

War! it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.

War! it's got one friend..that's the undertaker.

War! it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.

Forget Me Not Love

Posted on June 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
When the tunnel appears pitch black as night
When I can’t see the end… no glimmer of light
I should have remembered to pray for a rainy day
Though I pray I can say there’s never been passion neglect

I would regret if I forget
That I’m in love with you
That would be worse than anything on Earth
That would be worse than anything I could do
That would be to curse my re-birth

I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to all living beings
I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to Her image samplings

Forget Me Not Love.mp3

ABOUT THIS SONG

Dastardly Deeds

Posted on January 18, 2013January 18, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Order another drone strike
Maybe this time we’ll get it right

Order another drone attack
No need to worry if our man comes back
Order another drone strike
Maybe this time we’ll get it right
Fulfilling government contracts
Doing dastardly deeds

Let’s order some more murder
Maybe that will be the cure
For all that ails mankind
We’re vicious and unkind
Fulfilling government contracts
Doing dastardly deeds

Let’s foul the drinking water
Not care what happens to order
Let’s kill them with their own feces
Then chant U.S., U.S., U.S.
Fulfilling government contracts
Doing dastardly deeds

Dastardly Deeds.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords – Dm Cm Bm Cm C# Dm

Written and recorded on January 17, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 1-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. The song is about the responsibility of United States citizens for murdering innocent people, children and babies.

“Drone strikes in Pakistan have killed far more people than the United States has acknowledged and traumatized innocent residents.”

“There are no exact statistics on the number of people killed in drone strikes in Pakistan. Estimates vary from about 2,500 to over 3,000 victims. As many as 174 of them were reportedly children.”

Songwriting at March Creek State Park, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
Never been in this place before
So close to the edge
The outcome… unsure
Never been in this space before
So close to the judge
The vision a blur

What the hell are we doing
Pollution
Suing
De-evolution pursuing
Solution avoidance
Despite evidence
Wipe-out existence

The minds that shine will shine, shine, shine
But
Never been to this place
To history trace
The accumulation of the humanization blunders
Then… as one… wonders
What the hell are we doing
Pollution
Suing
De-evolution pursuing
Solution avoidance
Despite evidence
Wipe-out existence

Please… don’t wipe-out existence

ABOUT THIS SONG
Wow! There’s a lot about this song. I won’t say it all… leaving some to your imagination.

Though it was unintended, the music ended up being inspired by the Kinks’ David Watts. The idea is kind-of like David Watts, too… I wish I could be like David Watts. I wish I could be smart enough… to get through to the people… that don’t care about other people. What the hell are we doing?
.
Written and recorded on October 1, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park and other locations in Chester County, Pennsylvania… on an 8-track digital recorder. 2 tracks as stereo guitar (first with no effects, then effects followed by Capo 2 with effects). 2 tracks as stereo vocals. 1 backing vocal with a bullhorn effect. 1 backing vocal with Darth Vader effect. The six tracks were mixed down onto the remaining 2 tracks.
