The Perfect Day
05:19
|
|||
One step, then another
Adrenalin flowing
Height gained, summit nearing
Destiny calling
Chorus:
Seeking perfection…
It doesn’t have to be perfect to be the perfect day (x2)
A sudden kiss, off centre
Heartbeat racing
A secret smile, a stolen glance
Reality bracing
Chorus
A seed of an idea
A blank canvas
A brush stroke, then another
A vision realised…
Chorus

Carrion Crows
05:25
|
|||
Blood sucking leeches, spawned from greed and hate
Victoria values, pompous and out of date
Avoiding questions, blaming everyone else
Lying and misleading to fatten up their wealth
Chorus:
Watch them pick the flesh from the poor – like carrions crows
Watch then lick the bones of the poor – carrion crows
Ancient words written on parchment deemed as lore
Religion that’s an industry, rotten to the core
Brainwashed brainless, try to brainwash the meek
Prospect of paradise they lure the sad and weak.
Chorus:
Watch them pick the flesh from the lost – like carrions crows
Watch then lick the bones of the lost – carrion crows
Show footage of a starving child,
Take advantage of people’s kindness
Make millions from charities
Their sincerity is kind-less…
Chorus:
Watch them pick the flesh from the kind – like carrions crows
Watch then lick the bones of the kind – carrion crows

This is the World
05:16

This is the world
Soldiers shovelled into the furnace of war
Silver spoon man moans about life
Profits break new records, while the old die of the cold
Single mother starves herself to feed her child
This is the world we created
We could have done so much more
This is the world we created
We should have done so much more
The ill stuck on hospital corridors for days
People beaten and killed cos of sexual preference
Pharmacy corporations charging millions for life
People wanting change, scorned by ignorance.
This is the world we created
We could have done so much more
This is the world we created
We should have done so much more
We could have fed the world,
We could have ended all disease
Shared our hopes and dreams
United the world
Saved the ozone layer,
Stopped the rising tides
Maybe created world peace
But paranoia … Greed and fear
Dug in deep
Crushed the world
Strangled dreams
This is the world we created
We could have done so much more
Money and profit became an obsession
We should have done so much more

The Other Side

The Other Side
The pages of life move ever forward
There’s no flicking back in time
Memories of the past sometime haunt us
Past endeavours sometimes bad, sometimes fine
You get lost in a moment
It’s sometimes hard to shake it out
You get swallowed whole
Until you come out the other side… The other side
Sometimes ruts can grow so deep
It’s near impossible to ascend
Fear and uncertainty can keep us within
Some of us never get out that rut again
You get fixed on the same path
Awake, but sleeping and controlled
Swallowed and consumed
Until you come out the other side… The other side
I stop and stare over the rim,
I dig my feet into the sides
The edge is brittle, soft to touch
But I tentatively pull myself up
I hold on tight, try to scramble through
Just let me scramble through to the other side

False Gods

False Gods
All the false gods, baying for your love
Like vampires absorbing your blood
Man made deities built from obsession
Their fame and glory is an addiction
To the false god revere and pray
Every night and every day
Put them on a pedestal way up high
To give some meaning for your sorry lives
Worshipped – for kicking a ball
Worshipped – for singing a song
Worshipped – for acting well
Worshipped – for being a celeb
And fame becomes that drug
For those who let it
They need the constant fix
And seek out ways to get it
Even though their time has come
And they are just
Shrivelled up
Has beens
We are all just specks of dust
Floating insignificantly
Just a grain of sand
On an eternal beach
Those we worship just don’t matter
You don’t matter, I don’t matter
The world will go on and on
Even when you are no longer taking the trip
So, fuck those false gods
And summon up the power within
Within yourselves…

Fractured Lullaby

Fracture Lullaby
Eyes watching you, watching me
Scrutinising our every move
They call it keeping us safe
But I’m not too sure about that
Like a fractured lullaby
At what point did common sense die
The world is cracked, beaten and broken
Like a fractured lullaby
Ears listening, always
There seems to be no getting away
They inject the worry and the fear
Hell, they’ve been doing it for years
Everyone is a police man
Policing fellow man
High and mighty, finger pointing
Cos they feel they can…

Sentinel

Sentinel
I have stood here for many years
Witnessed laughter, witnessed tears
I’ve sheltered people from storms or sun
Statements of love are etched upon my skin
Sentinel – guardian of the world
I stand proud, have for so long
Feeling this existence will never end
But now they want to tear me down
To build new houses for the town
The blade cuts deep within
Tears fall heavy, along with my kin
So, I fall to my doom
The land I stood upon now my tomb
Dead guardian of the world
Forgotten guardian of the world…

Pandora's Box

Pandora’s Box
Wake up, punch in on life
9 to 5 work servitude
Micro managed, brow beaten
Conned I to thinking we are free
Bring down the doors of oppression
Fight for what you believe
Ignore those who wish to mock you
You deserve to be free
Pandora’s box smash right open
Spreading chaos all around
Disease and death; violence and greed
Fear and evil was abound
And hope…
Right the wrongs
Sing the songs
Write the fiction
Fight the friction
Stand tall
Answer the call
Fight for change
