Pardon me if I ask thee if what just happened was reality How one plus one is three to me And how fish have started to climb trees Well, it seems all knowledge ain't logic at all Just stories and fables and numbers to call So please slide down and I'll see your saw I'll perplex and bewilder & flummox you all thank you thank you sir thank you madame thank you very much thank you all very much thank you all for hearing this thank you all for hearing this song thank you all for hearing this here song thank you all for staying put for this song thank you all for staying put for this song so far! This song really sucks, I don't give no fucks I ain't scared of ducks that have small tails and beaks Weeks and weeks have gone by slow No time and place to go sleep Count sheep leaping up & down Clowns that frown keep underground towns Think about it now Think on it later Think of all the times you've heard somebody ask Why do you look that way now? Who did this to you? Forget what you have seen, it's not true Don't think that we're not out to get You can't think nor speak You're not strong, you're weak You can't read or write You're too small to fight back

My body is feeling weak My head is full of doubt I don't know where my world is Or what it's all about The things that made me glad Are running down the drain I can't afford to feel sad As it takes up half my brain Materials that don't matter Take men under their control They can't hear the pitter-patter Of the last drops of their soul A cancer to the earth A burden to the gods What point does it really serve? What really are the odds? They take more than they give No air to replace the fumes No food to sustain to live More dead to fill the tombs Conversation is a dead art Speech is a useless tool If you can’t live to play the part Then you’ve listened to the fools Just because there are weapons Doesn't mean it’s an armory Just cause there ain't no whips & chains Doesn't mean it ain't slavery Sacrifice the immaculate Stone the priests in the road Try too hard to calculate What you reaped from the sowed Your gods are all a fable But the devil’s in a thousand men They need to keep power stable So they teach you how to sin Mother taught you wrong Father wasn't there I can't finish this song Let’s just end it here

Ralph was a guy from the trailer side Ralph cleaned the campus almost every night Sweeping fast, mopping last Watch him use his dust attack Thinks it's fun, makes him run Watch him hit a hunk of crack Aye aye aye aye yiiiie Ralph didn't like the dust bunnies (No he didn’t) Ralph thought his puns were all funny (Yes he did, I swear) Inspect the room with scepter broom Never forgets a second glance Sani-bags & trailer swag Watch him do the Elmo dance Ralph was a master class sweeper Ralph was a class A tweaker, sneaker, peeper, creeper Creeps the halls, tweaking balls Finds every last particle Wash the floor, don't ignore The mess he finds is the mess he kills Aye aye aye aye yiiiie

Silence is haunting my past memories A dispersed assembly of muted screams Marked by crimson upon a sinner's crown Blasphemer on holy burial grounds Sorrow comes with aging Death's the final straw The only thing that’s changing Is my faith in it all Whispering banshees take my thoughts away They’re still bleeding on my altar of decay Mountains of sky show clouds learning to fly Novocaine feast for the dead, long-deceased Gone or non-existent, blind but still can see Evil or guidance? The ocean is not the sea (Go - bye bye!) I’m so blind, can’t find no one Why is it always the same; doing everything that you do? Look at how high we are: high enough to touch the stars Take a journey through your memories A tracing to the source of your current disease Lies don't matter if they're the only thing told The soul doesn't burn if it hasn't been sold

I went trippin' through the woods I brought back a story I'm sure like you've never ever been told It was he, me, & Drewby - yes, Drew, see - he was Nathan & I was me We three met a denizen of the trees Swiftly lifting nectar from a flower like a thief From afar, Drew could hear the fluttering thing Listen for the buzzing, the hummingbird is singing the day away This song would surely not suffice Drew prophesied we three would surely find the Flummoxing fowl (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Our trio strolled through honey suckles The wind to guide and hide our chuckles We followed the whispers of the breeze We came upon the enchanted spot The bird of feather floating aloft The petals of flowers glimmering green Lo! We gazed upon the bird below She did not heed nor fear we fellows She fuzzily fluttered amidst our three figures ‘Twas strange she did not hide in terror To see such giants tromping hither Her spirit and ours were somehow intertwined Now came out destiny, we claimed This bird and our blood will be the same It’s perfectly clear (it is?): sacrifice her to the flame 'Twas Drew who caught the fluttering thing & squeezed the life right from its beak. It squeaked & creaked between his teeth. The pieces that leaked were packed in the pipe real neat. So, we smoked the hummingbird, & ground her up into little bits. It hit harder than all the bong-hits we ever lit under slanted eyelid slits And so, my story has been told You might not believe me, but surely you'll have a question or three You might just disparage, or call it a mirage You might ask "how?" or "why?" But I say hummingbird resin don’t lie

The ghost of Dio comes to our practice space every midnight & with his help, a tasty jam is what we're sure to write I hope he helps us write something like "I" or "Holy Diver" With amplified technology, his words we'll decipher But after all what do you say To the dead king warlock of rock n' roll? Look for the sign: the last in line The words that will reveal you to your soul A sage, or mage, of ancient age who died a little too young Of dragons, & devils, & ancient beasts he primarily sung To say his ghost is haunting us seems frightfully absurd I'd demonstrate some actual proof, but lonely is the word Through rainbow eyes the wizard flies To legions of the brave to save again The chosen ones, the bastard sons The mob rules to follow the tears away Look away from the sea Those evil eyes staring at you & me This is some southern sign They’ll burn the sun and drown the children at sea If you truly have a spark, don’t lock it all up Or you’re just a rainbow in the dark Every time I climb upon a mountain I see the silver lighting in the black Those who shine won't be borne to heaven Those facing hell better turn back (Back) (Over & over again)

Helen Vaughan has taken my soul Left my body broken & cold Her allure discorporates my mind The love she makes takes & stays behind Nymphs & satyrs host our abominable orgies My demi-goddess shape shifts & twists upon me Bestial sex in the woodlands afar The reeds of Pan hark under the morning star Alright now Mistress of the overwhelming bliss Conjuring the images long buried in the abyss Fuck my soul & peel open my eyes Lift the veil, great daughter of Pan Why did you let me go to the woods with Helen Vaughan? I have seen the man of the wood: lord of satyr & faun I have seen the woodsman I have seen the great god Pan I am only mortal man I cannot live on

I: "Flight Through the Cosmos" [Lyrics: Dellinger] (00:00-03:50) Fog rolls over the starlit pavement ocean Sifting through the lifeless ghosts below us Capsizing clouds fill the burning night sky Ancient vapors disappear in my eyes (My eyes) Blackness enshrouds her deep & silent motion Stars meld with the sky & bleed in the ocean A cold sweat & a touch on your face The sea is troubled for you are in her wake (Her wake) Fly through the cosmos, feel where the wind blows Seeing the earth as it burns Find where the moon shines, make the time rewind Give the gods something to learn Light sacred fires, build the new empires Dance in the rays of the sun Create the new sound, make the walls fall down Sing until existence is done. II: "Unibirth" [Lyrics: Harper] (03:50-10:32) In the airless oceans swim The slipstream divers of ancient age With time blown halos weaving flight All making ink on astral page As the streamlined forms of time Race through the valleys of myriad streams All season's day-night mystic plays Reign shifting plot on flowing dreams On weaving, reaching pathways march The senseless heralds of just born days With dying matter's final shout Entreat the bounds of heaven's gaze III: "Final Shout" [instrumental] (10:32-14:04)
