Thunder Drums
The time for talk is over,
the thunder drums of war begin to beat.
Kaboom, kaboom.
Insanity is loosened
and runs among the people in the street.
Kaboom, kaboom.
Hear the thunder roaring,
with tanks and bombs and guns.
And see the soldiers marching,
until the hate is done.
With brother killing brother,
until there's only one.
Kaboom, kaboom.
Now see the people scatter,
with missiles raining down on their parade.
Kaboom! Kaboom!
There's nothing left that matters,
the best of plans of...
the thunder drums of war begin to beat.
Kaboom, kaboom.
Insanity is loosened
and runs among the people in the street.
Kaboom, kaboom.
Hear the thunder roaring,
with tanks and bombs and guns.
And see the soldiers marching,
until the hate is done.
With brother killing brother,
until there's only one.
Kaboom, kaboom.
Now see the people scatter,
with missiles raining down on their parade.
Kaboom! Kaboom!
There's nothing left that matters,
the best of plans of...

SETI
Lonely little blue
looking in the night.
Are you all alone
on your heavens flight?
Or is there another
looking back at you,
wondering if they're alone too?
looking in the night.
Are you all alone
on your heavens flight?
Or is there another
looking back at you,
wondering if they're alone too?

Talking Shadows
I hear them clamor far away
Outside the realm of pensive thought
Inside the room that I've been brought
Inside the room where I should stay
At least that's what they seem to say
And if I try to run away
There's hell to pay if I get caught
They look at me with weary eye
Like I'm a puzzle to be solved
Insanity that's unresolved
And though I gladly let them try
To break me free from my mind's lie
I know that in the by and by
I'll never really be involved
For I live here inside my head
And I can say not only me...
Outside the realm of pensive thought

At least that's what they seem to say
And if I try to run away
There's hell to pay if I get caught

Like I'm a puzzle to be solved
Insanity that's unresolved
And though I gladly let them try
To break me free from my mind's lie
I know that in the by and by

For I live here inside my head
And I can say not only me...

Dizzyland
I walk through a labyrinth
of self-imposed walls
that keep me from my destination.
Confined by the notions
that lead me astray,
leaving me walking in circles.
No guile have I
to find a way out,
no sextant to chart a new course.
I look for the prize
at the end of the maze,
and hope I'm not too badly shocked.

Confined by the notions

No guile have I

and hope I'm not too badly shocked.

Memories
How vague the darkness seems tonight
with nothing lucid in my way
I stumble for the lack of light.
And try to keep the thoughts at bay
that follow me in hot pursuit,
scenarios I can't refute.
Too late to close the open door
they circle in a loathsome pack,
and very soon they will attack,
no matter how much I implore.

Another Day
A solitary figure
Sits quiet in the twilight
Her mind echoes their ridicules
Her heart is full of pain
She'd cry if she had any tears
But now she's all cried out
And feels the cold caress her
As she waits for night to come
To walk home in the darkness
Where things are less defined
With features more forgiving
In softened moonlight glow
She hums a song to cheer herself
And soon she's on her way
A lonely girl who hides herself
From light and bright of day
Sits quiet in the twilight
Her mind echoes their ridicules
Her heart is full of pain
She'd cry if she had any tears
But now she's all cried out
And feels the cold caress her
As she waits for night to come
To walk home in the darkness
Where things are less defined
With features more forgiving
In softened moonlight glow
She hums a song to cheer herself
And soon she's on her way
A lonely girl who hides herself
From light and bright of day

The Looking Glass
I met you lurking in the night
in dreamscape lands
from Dali's brush.
More of a shadow than a man
fracturing my world apart
with ideas, I've never had.
Lies that seem so true
reflect in the mirror
from an innocent smile.
I never smile back
but you don't seem to care
as you dwell in my thoughts,
uninvited.
in dreamscape lands
from Dali's brush.
More of a shadow than a man
fracturing my world apart

Lies that seem so true

but you don't seem to care
as you dwell in my thoughts,

Missing You
I thought I heard you calling me
From somewhere in the dead of night
To lie beside you in the dark
And so I reach into the dark
In hopes that you'll be there for me
To save me from the lonely night
But just like every other night
There's no one in the room but me
Alone and in the dark
It always seems so dark to me at night
From somewhere in the dead of night
To lie beside you in the dark
And so I reach into the dark
In hopes that you'll be there for me
To save me from the lonely night
But just like every other night
There's no one in the room but me
Alone and in the dark
It always seems so dark to me at night

Embers
the fire of love surrounds me
passion's skin
beauty's smile
the sum of my desire
finds itself
in your eyes
and though there have been others
you're the only one I see
the only one that matters, to me
we dance under the starlight
in my arms
can you see
the sparks when we're together
sparks ignite
what will be
my heart is catching fire
a want for what our love could be
is burning on the inside, of me
and so I pull you closer
when we touch
feel the heat
a kiss...

Star
I sit in the night
and study a star
that's just out of reach
that's just what you are.
A heavenly body
a beautiful light
that's here for a moment
and gone with the night.
And even if I
could convince you to stay,
you'd still be miles away.

Island Girl
A revenant slowly shuffles into view
And stares with vacant eyes as she goes by
A castaway lost in a sea of cars
With S.O.S. scrawled on cardboard signs
And shopping carts to trundle all the dreams
She drags around behind her with her life
And stares with vacant eyes as she goes by
A castaway lost in a sea of cars
With S.O.S. scrawled on cardboard signs
And shopping carts to trundle all the dreams
She drags around behind her with her life
