Track Name: The Battle Of Blissful Bloom
THE BATTLE OF BLISSFUL BLOOM

There was a time when
I thought that I might die
I looked all around and found
Not a single soul alive
Then I thought what a
Terribly lonely scene
Where did everyone go
Did they betray their dying dreams

What would you do
Let your heart speak the truth
Would you take this chance
On this deathlike vision too
Would you storm the night
And chase the rising moon
Or stand there in fright
Swaddled tight in dismal doom

There was a time when
I thought that I might die
I looked all around and found
Not a single soul alive
Then I thought what a
Terribly lonely scene
Where did everyone go
Did they betray their dying dreams

So when the world is creeping
And closing in on you
Seek shelter in the dark
In its gentle guiding gloom
Hold your head up high
And listen to the tune
Of the night’s eternal refrain
It’s blackened, blissful bloom
Track Name: Buzz Off To The Man
BUZZ OFF TO THE MAN

There was a time I had nowhere to go but down
There was a place I hid in the face of the crowd
When everything fell my prison cell crashed to the ground
I opened my cage put pen to the page and found

Sometimes I wanna break out
And deal myself a new hand
Sometimes I’ve gotta Brave the crowd
And make one last stand
Sometimes I wanna break out
And deal myself a new hand
Sometimes I wanna scream and shout
“Buzz Off” to the man

Someone once said so I’ll say it again my friends
You have only this life in a blink of an eye it will end
So honor your dreams set down your grief and live
Love each other and help each other forgive

Sometimes I wanna break out
And deal myself a new hand
Sometimes I’ve gotta Brave the crowd
And make one last stand
Sometimes I wanna break out
And deal myself a new hand
Sometimes I wanna scream and shout
“Buzz Off” to the man

There was a time I had nowhere to go but down
There was a place I hid in the face of the crowd
But never again will I contend with hate
To violence or greed I will not surrender my fate

Sometimes I wanna break out
And deal myself a new hand
Sometimes I’ve gotta Brave the crowd
And make one last stand
Sometimes I wanna break out
And deal myself a new hand
Sometimes I wanna scream and shout
“Buzz Off” to the man
Track Name: Veni Vidi Voro
VENI VIDI VORO

I want to start this life over now
I’ve driven myself too far underground
Like a deadly spider whose web’s come unspun
When I surface for you I will come

Give me just a little more time
To untangle my web and swallow my pride
Like a phoenix rising in the desert sea
The hammer will fall on corruption and greed

No more laws to hide behind
We’re coming for you while you sleep at night
This is your warning better change your tune
Or in my web you’ll be caught too

I’m creeping and crawling
Into your mind
No where to run
No where to hide
I’m bringing an army
From the inside
Your greatest fears
I'll bring them to life

Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO
Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO
Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO
Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO

The abattoir is coming to you
To drink all your precious red gooey-goo
We’ve walked this Earth watched millions fall
Among you we’ve been all along

So when you’re sleeping alone at night
We’ll creep on in by the pale moonlight
And feast upon your living flesh
Bleed you dry and lay you to rest

Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO
Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO
Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO
Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO

So go ahead try to buy me off
I’m not for sale your life’s the cost
The last thing you’ll feel is regret
Just before I sink my teeth in your neck

Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO
Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO
Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO
Tonight I’m coming for you...VENI VIDI VORO

Johnny, Where did you go?

Track Name: Go Out And Play
GO OUT AND PLAY

I try to work my mind’s gone astray
Why work when you can play
I was thinking of some thing to do
To make it look like I’m working to

Is it sad or is it strange
We work so much we hardly play
I don’t care what you do
Time won’t wait for me or you

So grab your sons and daughters too
And take them to a park or zoo
Gather your friends and lovers well
And take them out to scream and yell

I don’t care who you are
Money only goes so far
When it’s over, when it’s through
Time will march all over you

No second chance no second take
Why don’t you go out and play?
Listen to me what I’ve to tell
Life’s a gift treat her well

If you’re feeling down today
Take some time to go out and play
It doesn’t matter what your age
Take some time to go out and play
Track Name: Money
MONEY

Money doesn’t care what you look like
Money will get the girl
Money will buy you friends
Money will buy the world

Money doesn’t judge
It doesn’t fuss or fight
It doesn’t care what you do
Money will make it right

When everyone is gone
And you’ve got nothing left
Don’t worry about apologies
Money is your best friend

Money is all that matters
Why, look at us…look at our smiles
While others are killing themselves
Caskets are selling for a pile

Money is all that matters
Money is the cure
Money is all that matters
Money is the cure

The poor fighting for a flag
The people on their knees
Where do think it comes from?
Money doesn’t grow on trees

What was that you say?
You’re jobless and displaced
Get a mop or get a gun
Don’t question me, know your place

We all know all the matters
Is what you’ve got
I am your master
Your keeper your god

Don’t stop your dreaming
Of the great red, white and blue
Don’t stop your breeding
We want your children too!

Money is all that matters
Money is the cure
Money is all that matters
Money is the cure
Track Name: Charity
CHARITY

Hey Charity, where have you been?
Hey Charity, where have you been?
Are you alone in this dark?
Are you hiding in your heart?

Hey Charity, where have you been?
Safe and snug in your bed?
Can you see how beautiful you are?
All alone in this dark

Hey Charity, where have you been?
Where have all your years been spent?
Are you alone in this night?
Keep your candle burning bright

Hey Charity, where have you been?
Hold on to your youth and innocence
If you need some love and tender care
Just think of me and I’ll be there

Whatever you want it’s all inside
Look to the sky
In the face of the moon
In my eyes
And you’ll find
All of your dreams
Are drops in a sea
Of an ocean that seems
Millions of miles wide
It’s alright
No one is you
In your own way true
So whatever you do
Don’t change your tune this time
Heart open wide

Hey Charity where have you been?
Hey Charity where have you been?
Hey Charity where have you been?
Hey Charity how the hell you been?
Track Name: Eva Lucia
EVA LUCIA

Eternal blackened light
Where are you tonight
I need your dark embrace
To guide my pen upon the page

Eternal blackened light
Where are you tonight
I’m alone in this dark
Feed my screaming heart

Eva Lucia
Eva Lucia
Eva Lucia
Eva Lucia

Let’s dance with the dead
Swimming in my head
Until the dawn’s grim light
Hold me close to the night

Eva Lucia
Eva Lucia
Eva Lucia
Eva Lucia

Eternal blackened light
Where are you tonight
Take me to the brink
To the land where darkness dreams

Eva Lucia
Eva Lucia

I woke up with a song on my lips
Eva Lucia you were it
Track Name: Dreamlife
DREAMLIFE

There was a time when I lost all my hope
There was a place where I felt all alone
There was a time when life tore me down
There was a place where I slept on the ground

There was a moment enveloped in doubt
There was a time I was part of the crowd
There was a change that took hold of my heart
An inferno erupting from one single spark

There is nothing we can’t do
We have nothing left to prove
Open your heart let it whisper to you
Embrace the dark begin a new life

Now I find myself living my dreams
Staring into an endless sea
I look back on my wandering ways
And wonder if I found them too late

Who knows what tomorrow may bring
Each day I wake and feel to sing
I’m certain there’s no going back
One look in my eyes will convince you of that

There is nothing we can’t do
We have nothing left to prove
Open your heart let it whisper to you
Embrace the dark…begin a new life

There is nothing we can’t do
We have nothing left to lose
Open your heart let it whisper to you
Embrace the dark begin a new life
Track Name: Living Alone
LIVING ALONE

An old woman in an empty room
Wondering where live has gone
The creeping dawn of nightfall looms
The desperate daunting dark

A child staring at his parents’ tomb
His world torn apart
The faceless swoon of dismal doom
Weighing on his heart

You know it’s hard living alone in the world today
As the tears gently roll down my face
I never thought that I would ever see this day
It’s hard living alone in the world today

My eyes gazing at pictures of you
Feeling so lost
The only love I ever knew
An endless bleeding scar

You know it’s hard living alone in the world today
As the tears gently roll down my face
I never thought that I would ever see this day
It’s hard living alone in the world today

You know it’s hard living alone in the world today
As the tears gently roll down my face
I never thought that I would ever see this day
It’s hard living alone in the world today
Track Name: Let The Music Out
LET THE MUSIC OUT

I never went to Julliard
Never learned about music except from my heart
One day it just occurred to me
What we have inside is all that we need

I never went to Julliard
Never learned about music except from my heart
Never thought I could make it work
Then one day around, all it turned

And the light was shining down upon me
In the eternal bliss of reverie
The gods revealed their creativity
And nothing was the same ever again for me

I picked up my grandfather’s acoustic guitar
An old Yamaha that sang out to my heart
And never again would I ever return
To the life I lived before this turn

Sing me song I called to the wind
Show me the way never to return again
Somewhere amidst the soaring clouds
I screamed to the gods let the music out

Sing me song I called to the wind
Show me the way never to return again
Somewhere amidst the soaring clouds
I screamed to the gods let the music out

Sing me song I called to the wind
Show me the way never to return again
Somewhere amidst the soaring clouds
I screamed to the gods let the music out

Sing me song I called to the wind
Show me the way never to return again
Somewhere amidst the soaring clouds
I screamed to the gods let the music out
