Year of Truth
Left! Right! Dis-cord! Left ! Right! (The chaos lords)
Far off the path now/the wheel marks the time
In the years of unveiling, the stars and planets are the signs
In the year of truth, the wheel of change, and what it brings
Progress in a vacuum/Dystopia grows the seeds….
One! Two! Adapt or Lose! One! Two! You Choose!
Nation-state power plays/the failures to align.
Society in a spiral/material culture in decline
Well beyond your logic/ Fate casts a heavy hand
Denial is a vain attempt / -No longer to pretend.
In the years of truth, the wheel of change, and all it brings
Progress in a vacuum/Dystopia grows the seeds….
Chaos is the symptom of this reality
The wheels of change brings our destiny.
One! Two! Adapt or Lose! One! Two! You Choose!
So Choose….
The cycles of destruction have now only just begun
In timelines long ignored -now it brings, now it brings your destiny ~
The precession of the equinox/ and what it means
Progress in a vacuum/the dystopia sows the seeds
Chaos is the symptom of our reality
The wheels of change brings our destiny
It’s the year of truth, the wheel of change, and what brings
Progress in a vacuum/Dystopia grows the seeds….
Chaos is the symptom of this reality
The wheel of change brings Our destiny

In Our Face
The rich get richer and its every day
We go on playing ‘cause it’s in our face
Mega Rich to celebrate
Media coverage so we see the bait….
Oh It’s in our face
Oh They love to take
Blackout rims on the Bentley cool
For the chosen ones only a million or two
Corporate sport star or a corpo tool
Come on baby what’cha going to do
Class division is nothing new
In a modern era, still run by the few
Further and further, and farther away
ungodly wealth in a run away
Oh It’s in our face
Oh They love to take
Run for office it’s a billion or two/Financial schemes to further the few
Entitled elites in a runaway, But you- your gunna stay in your place
Chasing each other while the order never changes/Rich get richer and fat get fatter
Excessive wealth is always in sight/Millions and Billions, but damn! our wages are tight~
Oh They love to take Oh! It’s in our face
Public office and we haven’t got a seat
Buckets of crabs never sense defeat
Frogs in a pot, as they turn up the heat
Just wave the flag cause you’re living the Dream!
Oh Oh They love to take/ Oh It’s in our face
Oh It’s in our face / Oh They love to take

Plunder

PLUNDER
So THEY SAY, it’s a beautiful church/a monument to ‘god’
And THEY SAY, its monumental work/ manifest glory succeeds
I say its monstrosity built on backs of the poor
And I say, its ages old plunder/self forgiven temple thieves!
THE RELIGIOUS MACHINES
PEDIOPHILES, OLD MEN AND THEIVES
THEY SAY WE SIN/SO WE PAY THEM AGAIN
FORGIVEN AND ONCE MORE WE ARE FREE
So they say,, it’s the word of ‘god’ this manifest destiny
So they say, it’s proof evident that this faith succeeds
But I say it’s the human thing that operates on greed
And I say, it the dark one itself that feeds your monstrosity
THE RELIGIOUS MACHINES
PEDIOPHILES, OLD MEN AND THEIVES
THEY SAY WE SIN/SO WE PAY THEM AGAIN
FORGIVEN AND ONCE MORE WE’RE FREE
Ahh, it’s the ages old plunder/self-forgiven temple thieves!
Mind control so salvation succeeds
Create a Hell from which you are saved
And the patriarchy succeeds
THE RELIGIOUS PROPAGANDA MACHINES
PEDIOPHILES, OLD MEN AND THEIVES
THEY SAY WE SIN/SO WE PAY THEM AGAIN
FORGIVEN AND ONCE MORE WE NEED
POLITICS - DOMINION - AND GREED
ON CORRUPTION POWER THEY FEED
THEY SAY WE HAVE SINNED SO WE’LL PAY THEM AGAIN
FORGIVEN AND ONCE MORE THEY FEED

Mojave Incident

Mojave Incident (The Desert Song)
Out in the desert down Mojave way/things get weird in a terrifying way
The spiders are large and the scorpions fly/The spirits of the land open it up at night
These are the things you’d never wanna believe~
These are things you’ve never wanna see~
The lights~ She cried / Right before My eyes!!
These were ships filling up the sky from another plane-
They’re here! She Cried! These Lights terrify …..
There they were in disbelief-A state of shock as they tried to retreat
The elders said don’t ya go out there-you only have guns, these beings don’t care
These are the things you’d never wanna believe~
These are things you’ve never wanna see~
The Lights moving through that night…coming from/ the sky
All come together in terrifying sight/What the hell was happening to their minds?
No words for the things they couldn’t understand-the long held mysteries of this land?
In the Desert-In the Desert-In the Desert-In Desert
In the desert night the terrifying lights what were these Beings just taking their minds?
Things that they’ll never comprehend/To say the least, it was out of hand
You never know when things will change/the hunter gets hunted, its unexplained
In the desert- In the desert night!

Apologies

APOLOGIES
Killing every tree
Killing life in all the seas
Forever chemicals -everywhere
And we weaponize -the atmosphere
Apologies
To the daughters and to the sons
Apologies
For all the damage done
What was ever won?
A world fit/ for no one
Here is your inheritance.
For all the little ones
Taking Life down/Piece by Piece
Extracting and killing with industrial ease
Inject and replace with chemical swill
Toxins and refuse, the deadly fill
Apologies
To the daughters and to the sons
Apologies
For the damage we have done
What was ever won?
A world fit/ for no one
Here is your inheritance.
For all the little ones
What have we left for those/ to still come? Grinding and crushing to oblivion (we won?)
Micro Plastics everywhere/and we saturate the eco-sphere
Apologies To the daughters and to the sons
Apologies For the damage we have done
Consume and destroy/ yes we had our fun Now tell me again about Dominion
Eliminate species one by one/ Leaving behind a world fit for no one/No One!

Subduction
04:13
|
|||
~Surge forth/day by day/put forth/find a way
~Unfunded and overwhelmed/we’re triggered and spellbound
~going under or rising again? Phoenix or penned in?
~~pandemic /once again/we are uncertain…..
The Dogmas – Are failing – Faith -is mistaken –
Losses – are gaining -Solutions- keep trading
Ch: Subduction~ - …. -find a way to preserve!
Subduction - Subduction - find a way to Persevere!
~Collective/or personal/institutions-us they fail
~The Solutions are now our jails/ messianic third rails
~Distractions to no avail/as the rain now turns to hail
~If we live to tell this tale/ We must find a way
The Dogmas – Are failing – Faith -is mistaken –
Losses – are gaining -Solutions now fading
Feel good comforts sell us short- materialistic gym moves we contort
Inspirations in a meme-complete the icing for this dream -
So suffer!
Subduction –Subduction-We must find a way –
Subduction –Subduction--Not to fade away
Subduction– Connection-The reasons to stay
Connection….We must find our Way…..

Re-Evolve
Re - Evolve
Here we are in this world
But are we able to see
That things aren’t always what we think they are
What could free will mean?
Freed from the shackles
Self-imposed socially accepted needs
All the constant propaganda
Creating our identities
If we didn’t pile up in our cities
Or persist in this constant sprawl
What if we didn’t kneel to beliefs
What if we could see it all?
Freed from the shackles
Self-imposed socially accepted needs
All the force-fed propaganda
Creating our dependency
Would if we started working together
Not to devour it all…
What if we acted like we belonged?
Would we re-Evolve?
I had this dream /Sustainable systems instead of greed
Re-Evolve for the cost of a dream- ahhh the Remembering…..
For we belong to the Earth Mother!
All our relations -… all Life – Sacred!
And for the cost of a dream (the remembering) – ReEvolve!
