1. Riders of the Cosmic Circuit
movie screens
shirley's dreams
esoterically obscene
inner truth
new age view
media endorses you
hypnotic trance is calling to find
relative truth
no absolute which to guide a misled
well meaning view
riders lead them away
riders lead them astray
and they will find
though they try they'll
never be a god
"hey rider
where is your power
you've abandoned your soul
you make yourself out to be a god
but you're going to die
and die like a man"
finding the reason ......................... now is the season
for the man
who claims ................................................ for the lie
he's god
why is he ........................................... find the reason
pleasing to the
hungry ears .......................................... for the crime
of the crowd
a reincarnate .................................. looking for truth
soul he
claims that .............................................. deep inside
he has found
oh maharishi ..................................... human wisdom
your own self
a king ............................................................ is a lie
you have crowned
mystic scenes
astral dreams
basically occultic themes
inner truth
cryptic view
as the devil laughs at you
relative truth tells a man he is right
with any view
how will you then judge a hitler you've got
no absolute
riders lead them away
riders lead them astray
and she will find
though you mean well
shirley you're not god
"hey shirley...
listen to me
you think this is the dawn
of a new age
this is the advent of a nightmare
a cosmic nightmare
and you're going to die"
now is the season ......................... now is the season
for the man
who claims ............................................... for the lie
he's god
rejects that ........................................ find the reason
evil is a
real thing ............................................. for the crime
to overcome
there is no ..................................... looking for truth
right or wrong
they let each ........................................... deep inside
man decide
oh charlie manson ........................... human wisdom
what you did
they say ........................................................ is a lie
is alright
2. Summer
we live .......................................................... lonely eyes
we die
can you show me ...................................... why do you lie
the way to your heart
we laugh ........................................................ look inside
we cry
can you show me .................................... nowhere to hide
a way we can start
i have been away
i was looking through
a faded light
now has come
the day
i'm longing for you
in my life
oh the day is
beside him
oh a gaze of wonder
fills his eyes
rows of trees and
greenest gardens
set the mood for dreaming
window of the soul is open
for a gust of meaning
rivers flow into the sea
full they will not ever be
laboring for things that perish
brings no peace
now the time .......................................... i know you
has come
i make my .................................. i know you're real
last appeal
for the truth .................................... i will show you
demands i
tell you ................................................... how i feel
how i feel
he's going away
he's going away
oh a heart desires
for the meaning of
a tainted life
another day of introspective
analyze the feeling
underneath the discontentment
innocence is grieving
the world will still be turning when
you have been long forgotten
laboring for things that perish
brings no peace
3. The Requiem
I am spinning round and round
I feel i'm falling to the ground
societies pressures have thrown
themselves on top of me
media's narrow type veiws
have surrounded the free
and as we live amidst this sadness
we see the madness
the battle rages from all sides
and we realize...
destruction's gate is wide
and the narrow road is life
I am spinning round and round
I feel no reason to be found
running from a sky that's falling down
societies values are coming apart
at the seams
breeding a liberal type view
that's dividing the free
...it brings me down
a world of darkness
yet there are answers
and there is power
4. The Narrow Road
now i see the wounds you carry
with a burden in tour heart
loneliness just bears upon my mind
another year of passing dreams
oh i see the fear
thing are just not what they seem
i see your tears
loneliness confuses everything
i see your fear
and i want you .......................... don't despise me
to be aware ............................... for what i say
and i want you .......................... oh it hurts inside
but you don't care ..................... to be this way
now i'm crying for the heart you possess
and i'm dying to see you put your life to rest
put your life to rest
we've traveled through life
we've seen a world gone blind
you handled my day
a servant my life i gave
this is the rock on which i stand
all other ground is sinking sand
so the sum of all my life
is a living sacrifice i'll face the trouble
is i live another day
once again i'll say
will they ever understand this man
this is the rock on which i stand
all other ground is sinking sand
5. Life Sketches I: Darkness
darkness begins to
fill the sky
and suddenly we realize...
walls of anger
we must understand
vindication
reaching for our hand
we've been together
we've sailed the storm
and heavy weather
will you be home
do you remember
can you recall
the days of never
when we were lost
i'm calling
oh will you answer me
and know the truth will set you free
6. Mary
life is as gold
we search for the answers
the path of righteous now draws near
mary begins to run form the darkness
the world and the evil now made clear
now made clear
not to fear
sunday begins
the time of her new life
the time is of love and brings her peace
monday reveals a new world of perils
now we begin to see her grief
see her grief
no relief
walk in the valley
of the shadow
of the law
mary, don't you worry
if they laugh at you tonight
mary, give to them your life
mary, you are lovely
you will be a shining light
mary, please don't compromise
life it unfolds
and shows where the answers
of peace can be found to set us free
mary begins to run from the bondage
taking what life is offering
walk in the valley
of the shadow
of the law
7. Ascent 120
when black is white
and wrong is right
i'm looking for your love .............................. justice divine
oh the pillar in the darkness ........................ justice divine
give me light
.................................................. and a fate draws near me
...................................... and this faith is guided by a trust
oh hear my cries
....................................................... and the fear inside me
............................................... and the pain will overcome
memories forgotten ............................................. as i walk
only brought back ......................................... on this road
in a daydream ................................................... i can hear
can my mind ................................................. the silent call
just wander
find the words
sing to me
will you sing to me
will you give me that song
that you sang to me
when you sang
will you sing to me
will you sing to me
the sorrow is over
the pain is gone
you've destroyed the world
where i didn't belong
the old man died, life is anew
i finally hear that song
the patience is paid for
i waited so long
nobody can tell me
that i've done wrong
i gave you my mind
heart soul and my world
now all i want is that song
sing
sing me a song
show me the way
through your song
give me your love
like you did
you gave me your life
through your song
8. Palace of Desire
I have been to the war
I have fought the center of the storm
I have walked the crowd
only to be lost then found
and I sing of a love ........................ as i learn to
as I face the trouble ....................... find my way
of each day
I will hold my ground
never to be turned around
we travel for the gold afar
no peace it brings
when all is said and all is done
of love i sing
vision of tomorrow
what of me
the life unseen
an endless theme
yet this moment
is the key
I have been to the well
I have seen the target of the liar
I have walked the floors
at the palace of desire
and I sing of a love .......................... as i learn to
and I live to see the ......................... find my way
coming day
I will hold my ground
never be turned around
9. Flowers
profit stakes and
greed filled eyes
sordid minds with .....................................look to me
mouths that lie
satan's streets house ...................... i am calling thee
hateful crime
dreadful vipers .......................................with a song
hearts of slime
self is taught
as mental health
rape the minds to .............................. rape the minds
bring them wealth
liar rules ...................................... you can painfully
(the prince of air)
evil's calling .......................................... come along
if you're there
but you know that
all's not lost
we can find
the way across
now it's time
to realize
that the spirit
never dies
