i just completed my eighth album, 'infinitely'... bits and pieces show up on my mp3.com site

mp3.com

there are probably about ten or twelve out of a total of twenty-two songs up there now... the others are 'in the queue'... here are the lyrics for the entire album, in the order the songs were recorded:

ABBADON
(elle-ess-dee-type /w lyrics)

some live in the future
some live in the past
some seek just to release abbadon
as if that would be the ultimate gas

some say some are good
and some say some are bad
and certainly there must be cads
and nice guys who finish last

but really all there is
are the terror and the beauty
and these add up to suffering
as much as we're deluded...

CHEMTRAILS

it hasn't rained much lately
and when it does it smells like toxic waste
and where are they taking us
i mean with haarp what is at stake?
they say that everything will be free
and that there will be no cost
except they forget to count all
the knowledge which is daily lost
upon the altar of your safety
yet their promises ring false
and into such a maelstrom do
we continue our waltz
is it in your heart
that you should be a prisoner
can you see it
the beast within you
can you hear it
what's that calling
is it that wind
which buries winners
and raises losers
from the ashes of
defeat at the hands
of the naive
and is your consciousness just
leaking like a sieve

RAVEN GIRL 6

my dearest little raven girl
or was that how it was
in that lost and lonely world

i remember the way she made
yes that way she made me feel
but that was so very long ago

but sometimes late at night i
swear she's there by my side

or riding me into her ultimate freedom
but how could that be
i mean she being she and me being me
perhaps there really is no other way
except to say
i'm not her father but am her brother and her sister
and she's not my mother but my sister and my brother
or so i wish upon her star
as dream of gazing into those eyes again
and seeing such as it were

RAVEN REPRISE
(Instrumental)

A SONG OF DEBORAH

In the days of Shamgar son of Anat,
In the days of Jael every highroad was forsaken;
those who went forth on their travels
through by-paths took their way.
Until I, Deborah, arose,
until I arose as Mother of Israel.
New gods were chosen and war was in the gates.
But from five cities, not one shield [appeared].
Not one spear from among forty thousand in Israel.
Dead, dead were Israel’s villages.

THE SNAKE EATS ITS TAIL

it's all happened before
it will all happen again
the symbols and scapegoats and methods may change
but in the end

the earth will get her blood

can you figure it out
do you dare even try
what is it you're so afraid of
that you must go on believing lies

is it possible that the best word for god
is not nice?
i mean after
jubalo jubala and jubalum
killed hiram abiff at the temple of solomon

i suppose none of that matters now
but in the end
the earth will get its blood

and nothing ever changes
just like a snake eating its tail
over and over again

PRAYER WHEEL 6

there was once a boy
and he played his songs
but only the demons would listen
then one day this one lady heard him
and by his sounds she was smitten
but she went away yet he heard of her dreams
but by then she had left this place
and he sat there and played a song
to try and remember her
but no one was ever to hear the song
save for she and of course his demons
but somehow the song made it out into the world
but it didn't matter because nobody heard
so that song like all of the others
made for the enjoyment of his demons
and perhaps she his one time maybe only fan

TIGER BY THE TAIL

All your life you’ve been beholden to the tiger
Always hoping to one day rise higher
Now you’ve found a way and your freedom you have gained
You’ve got the tiger by the tail now you cannot fail

To anyone with this affliction
To be ruled by the tiger is a common addiction
There is one small simple step which if taken will ensure
That you have the tiger by the tail and you shall never fail

The simple step is to turn away
In its simplicity is the primacy
Of the rule of the jungle
To hold the tiger by the tail yourself you must control

(Mistress Persephone)
Ella Robó El Corazón

él era un fop pero edades natas demasiado tarde
ella era el tipo de vixen tan muchos ama odiar
él deseó amante pero su amante era tan simple
ella lo sedujo con satenes, talones altos, y transparente

él estaba solo quizás él debía ser tan
que él permanecería en un mundo tan solamente
ella era la luz y él era la polilla
que él no podría oponerse sin importar el coste

en este mundo no hay ganando
todo está aquí para perder
pero elegimos nuestro veneno y la suya era ella
haber pintado, preening vixen de todos sus sueños

ella robó su corazón y ése era cómo él murió
pero no hasta que los años habían pasado solitario del griterío
ella robaron su corazón que era así que natural
y ahora él yerra a través de este mundo todo solamente

cómo podría siempre un jane llano en pantalones vaqueros azules comparar
a los clavos pintados y pelo undulado oscuro
los clodhoppers y el algodón se miran siempre más allá de
para los talones tan altos y satenes y desviartes transparente

RAGNAROK

They tell you everyone is the same
And to think otherwise is to ask for a fate worse than death
They raise some idiot in an agency to the status of hero
And those who dare question this are said to be less than zero
And then someone points out how there are rich and there are poor
Then the same have the temerity to say, but if you follow me, no more
Guffaw
In the end you're probably just a loser like myself and most everyone else
So enjoy your cigarettes and your sill-oh-sigh-bin
And prepare yourself a ringside seat for the main attraction
Coming soon to a theatre near you
The age old battle of the titans
Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth and friends versus The Elder Gods
But don't forget it's most likely that you and I are nothing more than fodder
Unless of course you're well to do with connections and secret handshakes
In which case I might ask you
What brings you here but the words and sounds of nothing more than a ghastly caricature of a former self -- perhaps Ragnarok?

THE STAR WHO FELL TO EARTH

There was a star who fell to earth
And pretended to have the answer for those who were faking their victimhood
Or so it would seem
But nonetheless he was a star
And he was in search of the key to the bottomless pit
By which he could release Abbadon otherwise known as Appolyon
And after all what could be better than to jump into a bottomless pit
Were one to find and unlock it of course
In any event if the star fell to earth and came to your door
Would you turn him away or would you by chance love him to death instead?
In either hypothetical case you wouldn't help but be made to one day pay

THE KEY TO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT

When the star who falls to earth has the key to the bottomless pit
Then the snake swallows its tail
And most all of so-called modern technology fails
And the earth gets its blood
Things are going to be different around here
When the star who falls to earth has the key to the bottomless pit

(SURF) HOUSE OF THE RISING SON

there is a house in new orleans
they call the rising sun
it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
and god i know i'm one

mother was a seamstress
always sewing seams
my father was a gambler
down in in new orleans

the only home a gambler knows
are the suitcase and the trunk
and the only time he's satisfied
is when he's on a trump

oh mother tell your children
not to do as i have done
to spend your life in sin and misery
in the house of the rising sun

one foot on the platform
the other foot on the train
i'm going back to new orleans
to wear that ball and chain

there is a house in new orleans
they call the rising sun
it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
and god i know i'm one

PETER PAN
There's a boy who is sure

He will never grow up
And everwhere he looks he sees promises of one thing
And the delivery of another
And he asks himself if the
Tetragrammaton is not the demiurge
And if his love will always be forsaken
And if the words
Tremendous Bendus Mendus Trendus
Ever had any meaning
Outside of the circles of those who know
But never wish to show
Because some things must remain hidden
Even if by love others are smitten
But the best things in life are forbidden
By the priests, politicians, and the police
I mean where would we be if people were actually to enjoy themselves
To act out their every heretofore hidden fantasy?
What are needed are ersatz beings
That those of us who remain true to our beliefs
Might be redeemed

SECOND PSALM

I. Why this uproar among the nations,
this impotent muttering of the peoples?
Kings of the earth take up position,
princes plot together
against the YHVH and his anointed,
"Now let us break their fetters!
Now let us throw off their bonds!"
II. He who is enthroned in the heavens laughs,
The YHVH makes a mockery of them,
then in his anger rebukes them,
in his rage he strikes them with terror.
III. "I myself have anointed my king
on Zion my holy mountain."
IV. "I will proclaim the decree of the YHVH:
He said to me," ‘You are my son,
today I have fathered you.
Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations as your birthright,
the whole world as your possession.
With an iron scepter you will break them,
shatter them like so many pots.’"
V. So now, you kings, come to your senses,
you earthly rulers, learn a lesson!
In fear be submissive to YHVH;
with fear kiss the son,
lest he be angry and your way come to nothing,
for his fury flares up in a moment.

MELANCHOLY ANNETE

She was so sad
And such a bitch
And so needy
And so rich
But not in any way you would understand
Certainly she was Satan's daughter
She wanted him to eat her pussy
Because he was so diligent
Yet in the end she could not keep him
And he was a demon alien
And she was special beyond anything ever conceived

MELANCHOLY CHRISTIANA

There was a special girl
And she was so pissed at him
And hated him for whatever reason
But he was ridiculous in his own right
And they were both melancholy
And she craved elle-ess-dee and emm-dee-emm-eh
And he wanted sill-oh-sigh-bin and we'd
And she being a raven and would be succubus was the only one
Who ever gave him an orgasm by entering his dreams
And who knows if he was ever as profound in return to her
She certainly turned him on like no one before or ever since

BLUES IN A

Oh she makes love for free
But not with he
Oh she's giving it all away
But she will always make him pay
And she thinks she is free
But she is really just afraid
Of being alone

BlUES IN C

Everywhere i go
There's a drill sargent there
At the bus station
There's a drill sargent there
Even in my dreams
There's a drill sargent there

FALUN GONG

Even with fake immolations
At Tieniman
Falun Gong is still
Just sick and wrong
Are they CIA?
Certainly they pretend to be gay
What about chinese women?
I mean would i want one as badly
If there were 200 million more of them around?

APPOLYON
(sill-oh-sigh-bin instrumental)

song of deborah, house of the rising sun ((surf) hrs), and 2nd psalm are derivative.... the rest are all original lyrics....oh... blues in c is an old army boot camp song...
