Morning

Long, long ago
So the dead have told us so
A story came to be
Then was lost in history
The cities caked in gold
And the tomb of rulers old
The new king of the land
All the people at his hand
“All of you people from Goshen
To Abu Simbel and back again
Bow to Amun and to my hand!”
From the fathers hand
And around again
But it soon will end
We begin in the morning
All Egypt prays to him for fate
The king, he is god incarnate
Prosperity and peace belong to him
The obsession with death
Forever nearing a last breathe
To join Re in the skies
Is only the pharaoh’s prize
“Until I fade away,
I prepare for my last day.
For if my spirit comes again,
Entomb my body - I may need it yet.
“To keep me company when I die
Bury me with all the gold that’s mine
For the gods will see me and smile…”
Many centuries old
The tradition holds
But begins its fold
(The decay of the morning)
In the torrid time
Amun-Re, he dies
A new prayer resides
Come alive in the morning

Falling Back Again
03:51

I never said I wanted you, baby
I never ever meant to put you down
I always thought you (were) my kind of lady
You always seemed to lift me off the ground
My attitude in us was so crazy
I guess I thought that we were guaranteed
I should left some solitude waiting
How many time did I not hear you plead?
When I look back at what I had been
My embarrassment comes flooding to me
No wonder you needed room to breathe
I wish that I could have that time again
Now it is gone it is so amazing
The speed of a fool is a speed indeed
Can you understand, for you I was crazy
Too quick I let a want become a need
I realise how much a heart can bleed
When I think about what she said to me
No matter how I try and quench the need
I keep falling back again
(O.N.E.)
I found you, that’s all I need
To live day by day
I’m gonna keep you like a seed
And keep you company

Plea
03:48
|

|
You’re going nowhere
I believe you know this is true
And I am honestly worried
That the end will surpass you before you can choose
There is nothing wrong with dancing ‘til four in the morning
Or having good times – they’re good times in the end
But believe me when I say (that) I see you are falling…
Please! Please!!
Would I say this if I didn’t care?
‘Cos the only thing you’ll find at a dead end is a dead end
There are those of us who care deep about you
And would so love to see you come through
But it is on your door He’s knocking
We can only tell you how much He wants you
“Those who seek Him at the eleventh hour
Will die at 10:30 instead”
Take my advice and take my advice…
Please! Please!!
Would I say this if I just didn’t care?

Salute (Ode To...)

Time
Now that you’re not around
I’ll sit and wait for a sound
For you to appear – I know that you’re near
Mind
I know just where you’re s’posed to be
I pray you are looking on me
When all’s said and done – what we’ve become
Hand
I’ve never seen so much of my life
With all that was here you would laugh
They lifted us high – you shone in each eye
Go on
Now that the smoke has all cleared
We’ll sift the debris for years
Keep you in the mind – we’ll still find our stride
Hold me
I’m not afraid to die
I know where I’ll be
When you come around
Lonely
It show’s how much we care
As long as you look down
We won’t run away

Farmer

The Farmer in the fields
The Wife, she makes his meals
She doesn’t like the dirt
The Wife, she makes him work
In the fields stands (the) tall Scarecrow
The poor man watch(es) the woman go
Knows not of the Scarecrows gleam
But spies her caught up in a dream
The Farmer’s enemy
Is what she went to see
Made moments, he made none
Hand forced the crow laughs some
Don’t leave the field
The Farmer casts her out
Knows not what she’s about
She wanders to the Crow
Something that she knows
Winter passes into his life
He finds the Scarecrow and his wife
Crow enjoys Farmers innocence
She moans, he runs for the fence
Is Farmer dead today?
Hoping so, for his sake
Will his wife speak again?
Now that she’s left the field’s frame?
He won’t leave the field

Longest Word

I miss what never was
How to come to terms with the loss
But when I felt, I wasn’t alone
Though my dreams never came home
She blows all my mind away
When she smiles I hear me say
Only she can smile that way
I hope that smile’s for me
It was the sweetest feel but so black
When I pushed it for a word, it just pushed me back
I’m pleased to see us grow
I just thought I should let you know
Washed, now I can resume to be
The constant person you would have me to be
Still I am webbed up like a Fly again
Double one – count it up from ten

Fly

Saturday afternoon, no peaceful picnics today folks
Traditional missile hurled at one of the fleet
It’s nothing personal – we’ve just gotta get on with the job
We gotta do what we do best
Did I piss you off?
Are you aware of the buzz?
Doesn’t it make you mad?
Wish you could fly like us?
And in a minute
When you think I’ve gone away
I’ll be right here…
We’ve got our troubles – being spider-meat is bad enough
We don’t need you to jump on the bandwagon too
Two-legged creatures, you make me sick! Two eyes?! And you’ve got no wings?!
You look disgusting – Buzz! Buzz! Take that you fool!
Fly! Do you have purpose at all?!
Constant buzz drives me insane
No six-leg(ged) **** will break me
Ah! Shut up, you Fly, shut up!!
Black Flag…

Tomorrow's World
05:35

Wanna wake up to a brand new day?
Wanna live the dreams your mind creates?
Another place in time
Serenity is what you’ll find
Harmony moulds your soul to shape
You bump and grind and bustle, breaking your will you fade away
This world full of hate
It’s delusion and its waste
Come and flee from its sun
Before it burns you
So make journeys forward
So take flight to air
Take your sadness and your grief
Throw them to the ground beneath
Soul and mind as one
In tomorrow’s world
Come into my world, shed your skin
Reborn, you let your body sing
Former life pushed away
No worries everyday
Embrace the Spirit from within
Mother earth is crying out – you hear her children shout
So don’t stay there
Come join us here
Feel the system from within
Spread your roots, let it begin
You’ve got to feel it now
Your inner soul pushed out
Your dreams before your eyes
Behind you all those lies

The Blues Song
03:57

I went to this party
There was alcohol and booze
We got pissed
Now we got the blues
…Oh, we got the blues
This girl walked in
She looked so fine
I walked up behind her
I grabbed her behind
…Oh, I got the blues
The girl of my dreams
She turned around
One look from those eyes
I feel to the ground
…Oh, honey please – I’m on my knees, honey
This guy rolled on over
Wearing size 20 shoes
She said, “Meet my boyfriend”
Now I got the blues
…Oh, I got the blues

Scared

When you’re behind the wheel you are possessed
You drive not to survive but to impress
The limit means shit to you
You’ve only got a job to do
Do you think you’re going a little to fast when you hear us scream?
If we played ‘Scare them witless’, you’d be on the winning team
Do you take your life for granted?
Can you think while your foot’s planted?
One day it will be over and we’ll all breath again
But until that day, you’ll drive like it ain’t ever going to end
When you’re driving at two hundred, is it you behind the wheel…

Not Here With You
11:03
|

|
The trees are green and all the animals are dead
I don’t live today – I live in yesterday
I want to be not here with you
But if I close my eyes, disperse the size of those morbid ties
I’m seen to wait to be fooled again
And it is cool and serene; I make my own dream, taste what I have seen
I wish you were here but you’re not ‘cos I can’t see you anywhere
I’m left alone, unknown, no tone
Wanting to see you but I’m stopped there – 'cos you’re not here
And I’d have helped were it not for your resolve – now I’m alone
(Have you seen the man with purple hair?)
Having seen a man without despair
(I haven’t – you must be crazy)
I so knew it must be hazy
See me sitting on a tree stump in the middle of a forest, it won’t snow here
But, I still cry – because I’m made up like the enemy
I’m made to sit up, it makes me feel…
Ah – it makes me see…
It’s not dead – kill it

Though my dreams never came home!
It was the sweetest feel but so black!
When I pushed it for a word, it just pushed me back!
I’m pleased to see us grow!

Washed, now I can resume to be!

Still I am webbed up like a Fly again!
Double one – count it up from ten!
