bookmark_borderFar From the War

LYRICS
Your second lease
Your chance for peace
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 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

bookmark_borderThe 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

To a third world war
Rushin’ and pushin’
To nuclear horror
No to war

Take to the streets
No to defeat

Rushin’ and pushin’
Along for the ride

Take to the streets

No to defeat

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

bookmark_borderOn a Roll

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

bookmark_borderDouble-edged

LYRICS
Life cuts both ways
Everyone comes
No one stays
Life cuts like a knife
Mentally sharp
Or mental drop?
The word is the sword is
Double-edged
Are you left standing
On the edge

Fatal blow of the lance
Or merely
Just a glance
Straight as an arrow
Or round and…
… round we go
The word is the sword is
Double-edged
Are you left standing
On the edge
Wedged on a ledge

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

LYRICS
Do you know to be low
Why not try to be high
And, we’ll see how things go
Only humans can ask why
Step right up! Don’t be shy

Do you choose to forego
Why not make and partake
And, we’ll all get to know
Only humans can ask why
Step right up! Don’t be shy

Do you avoid the flow
Why not grow in the know
And, we’ll see where things go
Only humans can ask why
Step right up! Don’t be shy

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?
