Disown

If the dead were your children
How would you raise them
So they're now condemned
How can you praise them
And those not chastised...rise
From the gravest of disregard
Hard, hard, hard to believe
You'd believe
Bereave

If their sins, mortal games
Would you forgive them?
So now you're like unto god
So you can outlive them
And the castigated...hated
Rules of a house of cards
Hard, hard, hard to receive
Who you'd conceived
Grieve

Ovens of the souls, justice hotter
Purify us our sons and daughters
Burn away evil legacy
Set us free
Free
Set us free

If the dead are your children
How did you raise them?
So now they’re condemned
No one can praise them
And those hearts incised...died
From the gravest of disregard
Hard, hard, hard to believe
We’d believed
Bereave

Deceived
So you bereave
Bereave

Pots and Kettles

The faithful fervor is justified
All other believers always lied
Your only truth will prove it soon
Serve the world their gagging spoon
Chant new song to same old tune
Pluck the rose of all its petals
Nothing's ever getting settled
Pots and kettles

Gird yourself from world that’s racist
Then say that staying separate's safest
Demand what's due ancestors wronged
Always been others...all along
Change the tune, to same old song
Clanging carbonless ferrous metals
Nothing's ever getting settled
Pots and kettles

Call it what you want
Call it what you will
The plainer fact that haunts
Is staring at you still
But you'll deny
As blatant lies
Anything to justify
The blood you'd spill

The righteous cause pure purpose
All other ventures worthless
Excuses structure strength is scant
So dead the seed you try to plant
Morph the song, to age old rant
Feed the fire to prove your mettle
Nothing's ever getting settled
Pots and kettles

Push me shove you boulders pebbles
Pots and kettles
Pots and kettles

Nothing's ever getting settled
Pots and kettles

This Vagabond Soul


Restlessness to chaos bound
I can’t seem to settle down
Just was fresh, is now grown old
Hot new thing soon leaves me cold
Dogma’s doctrine cannot hound
Spiritually I get around
My wanderlust drifts out-a control
This vagabond soul
Fractious a heart searching for whole
This vagabond soul

The eye is where the art is
Home is where the heart gives
A choice is what you make
When chance is what you take
Somewhere is the answer
Question’s partnered dancer
For now I’ll never know
This vagabond soul
Getting lost discovery’s role
This vagabond soul

Eons spent relearning
Relinquishment of yearning
Just when life is yawning
The maze to dazed is dawning
Accidentally arriving
Occident-ally was driving
Collective stream’s parabolic bowl
This vagabond soul
It’s only onward ever consoles
This vagabond soul

Vagabond soul

Vagabond soul

Trizzle, trazzle, trozzle, trone

This vagabond soul

This vagabond soul

Actually Dan, I've noticed a poetic quality about you on the forum since EM09. You speak with wisdom's riddles and reply with thoughtful poetry to even the simplest message. I like it, nicely done Dan, and good lyrics too.

Les

God is Evil

Aloof, he does not care
Suffering will build their character
Joy is for Heaven
Not for Earth

If he wanted us to be happy
Satisfied in all things good
Then he would have made us that way
No, we were made to endure pain

For God He is an evil one
Hell is His creation
He hates those who displease Him
And banishes them to eternity's nightmare

God is a murderer
He kills people
God does not obey his own commandments
Justice does not exist

Do not waste your time on Him
For if you seek Him the enemy will destroy you
Writhing in pain, alone for all time
God will never help you

They say that when God created us
He foresaw all things
If he saw this evil yet created anyway
Then how cold and cruel he must be

Cancer
Car Crashes
Fiery deaths
911

Animals killing for prey
Eating victims alive
Painful desecration
All in God's creation

Alrighty then...

I have written lyrics for/with my friend Rix ( http://www.resona.nl/Songs.html) , mostly love songs, here's one of them...

wonderfool

I wonder why I've always been a fool
I wonder why I sent you home so cool
I'm wondering why I'm wondering what to do
I feel I've always been a fool for you

I got so much to say to you
and all I do is watching you
and all - I say comes out as a stammer

I wonder why I can't come through to you
I know it's something only I can do
When I see into your big brown eyes
I want to speak but then my courage flies

I got so much to say to you
and all I do is watching you
and I - feel I've been hit by a hammer

I got so much to say to you
and all I do is watching you
The thought just mess me up like a jammer

and all - I say comes out as a stammer

Thank you Dan, I'll post some more later.

I like your lyrics a lot. Still reading up on them, need some time to digest. Les has been reading a couple of your lyrics in his radio show tonight.

edit: btw, did you record any of your songs for us to hear?

Some say love...

some say love is like a flame
this old cliché sounds kind of lame
I wish it were
so understandable
to me it seems
incomprehensable

some say love is kind of hot
but you and I, we know it's not
I wish we were
highly ignitable
but you and I,
we're not that flammable

some say love will never die
but all I know, just you and I
I wish it were...
I wish it were...

I wish it were...
I wish it were...
I wish it were...
I wish it were...

No solution

I got myself a little skinny dog
I got to find a partner for my frog

No solution
No solution anymore
Substitution, substitution that's for sure

I got myself a flower in a jar
I got to find a lady in a bar

No pollution, no pollution anymore
disillusion, disillusion that's for sure

all my questions seem so out of place
it seems I'm stuck inside this same old maze
I got a dozen things I need to find
They keep slipping from my dirty mind

No solution
No solution anymore
disillusion, disillusion that's for sure

No solution
No solution anymore
disillusion, disillusion that's for sure

BadCat (single room)

All I needed, one more single room
(all I needed, one more single...)
To spend my life in poetry and doom
(to spend my life in poetry and...)
I guess I didn't tell you
I needed it so bad, well..

All I needed one more empty shed
(all I needed one more empty...)
To spend my nights in mystery and dread
(to spend my nights in mystery and...)
I guess I shouldn't tell you
I needed you so bad , yeah..

All I need is one more lonely... (All I need is one more lonely)
All I need is one more empty... (All I need is one more empty)

Ooh she's so clean, my machine
She knows she does it

All I need is one more lonely... (All I need is one more lonely)
All I need is one more empty... (All I need is one more empty)

Ooh she's so clean, my machine
she knows she does it

This Too Shall Pass

Lucy, Austrolapithecus ancient humankind
Walked the earth and made some stride
Our years are measured in millenia untold
We grew upright and hunted meat

I was there when cave man screamed
Threw rocks at predators
To save their young from deathly fate
United we stand, divided we fall...

And through it all God was watching
Knowing all of human suffering
Civilizations, tribes of men
Lost to history their lives remain unrecorded

This too shall pass

In ancient times we roamed the earth
Hunted beasts and had festivals
Deeply ingrained in our neurons
Are the practices of our forefathers.

The crimes committed against mankind
The Aztecs and their sacrifices
City of stone and rooms full of gold
Given, taken, war waged against them

This too shall pass

Mystics weave the story of time
In days before Christ walked the earth
Chainmaille found burried in dirt
Bones carved with stories told

The age of China grew and passed
When they closed their doors
Rockets, clocks, creations wise
Lost forevermore

This too shall pass

Europe arose, sordid past
Plague, pestilence did unfold
Shakespeare told us of their lives
And entertained both knave and noble

Holy wars, the inquisition
Man misled and gone astray
Sawn asunder for his faith
It was his destiny

This too shall pass

History records the World Wars mighty
Let there be only two
Six million Jews suffered horribly
Some lived to tell, bearing tattoos on their arms

The vanquished scream, burned alive
Deep seated hatred for all time
Indian skin peelers torturing men
And crimes of the inner cities

This too shall pass

In modern times we have not learned
Our lessons from history
For man's inhumanity to man
Continues with almost no restraint

In all this time God has watched us
A tear shed in his eye
For his creation has been abused
By mankind forging destiny

This too shall pass
This too shall pass
This too shall pass

This is the song I'm currently mastering.

Because

Because you're here
And you've brought suffering
Insanity run rampant

Because I believe
And see through the posturing
Of the lovely, madhouse sycophants

I haven't lied
I haven't compromised
You haven't tried
You still don't realise

Because of broken fools
And their rage for normalcy
Imposed on weaker minds

Because I believe
Have witnessed the insanity
And so few of our kind

I haven't lied
I haven't compromised
You haven't tried
You still don't realise

Weaker minds?? I know what you mean, but howabout maybe...

Brighter minds? Different minds?

Ah well, mastering stage right? Great lyrics anyway...

Tongue in cheek little christmas song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6XzThAhH-g

This Christmas Feeling

Summertime has surely gone
Me and the boys just roam the streets
Happy tidings, christmas coming
Must be the last thing that I need

I can't stand the happy singing
The phony smiles just make me puke
Shining bright lights in the night
Are things that I just want to nuke


Christmas bells are ringing
I don't feel like singing
Can I trust the merry message that they're bringing?

(chorus)
Why do I get this christmas feeling
I'm so ashamed, feel like a fool
I just can't stand this christmas feeling
but all the same I loose my cool

(a nausiatingly sweet childrens choir kicks in)

Why do I get this christmas feeling
I'm so ashamed, feel like a fool
I just can't stand this christmas feeling
but all the same I loose my cool

Christmas bells are ringing
I don't feel like singing
Can I trust the merry message that they're bringing?

(chorus repeats etc...)

Thanks! Well, it's a statement about mainstream media blaring all their crapola and the mainstream public sucking it up without thinking for themselves. Those of us with brighter or different minds already know better. Wink

Of course, you can always read other meanings into it. That's the beauty of lyrics.

to "Sunday" holiday celebrators. I for one hold true to "holiday" sentiments at all times, not just once a year. So I don't need to go around singing about it to appease my guilty conscience.

I'd like to think that. I said our (me and Rix's) songs were mainly lovesongs. They're not. They're actually Non-Love-Songs in the vein of "I want but I can't" .
My lyrics aren't really autobiographic, more like roleplaying.
I actually like Christmas, having the opportunity to be a "Sunday" holiday celebrator" not harassed by everyday stress when I'm in luck.

In our songs we ourselves really.
Too often I have to resort to concentrate on the bigger picture. This too shall pass...Smile
I have my share of trouble.
