Green Goddess

O' my green goddess
Your gift of healing friends & family
Goes unwanted by so many
I hate to see their blind reality
So I’ll sit & tell your story
First accused in '37, then slain liberty in '70
The usual suspects, the usual story
but ya can’t keep a good girl down
Stand against their reign of cruelty
Stand & fight with the inside story
Natural beauty vs their profit & loss
Their twisted truth just an earful of 'ganda
How do we win? Where is the leader?
Say no to 'them', just let nature in
Breath in, breath out
Fight on, fight strong
No right, no wrong
Just care & love

Wondering down the winding lanes
Seeking signs of hidden running water ways
Esoteric paths of gain, city story now unchained
Following in footsteps gone by, changing realms pass by
Silhouetted ancient oak, dusks sinking storm
Neolithic valleys to reflections in the sea
Strolling up the misty lanes
Seeking signs of humans older ways
Finding healing springs forgotten, the bluebell woods are humming
Laid upon one another, nature's life floats by
Silhouetted ancient oak, dusks sinking storm
Neolithic valleys to reflections in the sea
Walking for miles thoughtfully
Every journey a new mystic tale
Observe the local lore luminary legend
Discovery lurks around every corner & crooked quarter
Silhouetted ancient oak, dusks sinking storm
Neolithic valleys to reflections in the sea
Twisting roots, suspended navigation
Bygone beings, forgotten folklore

The Hive
04:51
|
|||
Caught out on a dark emotion
All along the fallen angels have been singing
Their cold songs for the end of days
There’s only one way left to face away
I open up my eyes & see the coming storm
The end as we know it, unless we fight
We need to open our third eye & let the fear all go
Live in the present & bathe in natures glow
Lost humans
We’re running out of time
Stop conforming & lift the veil
Ascend & transcend
We've all had our minds tied in subtle chains
Egos are fighting hard, sensing there demise
Unfolding deceitful
Appalling scheme of dread
Nothing special, nothing real
Descend & regret
Hive minds must awake & resist in their millions
Maybe we'll lose, maybe we'll win
Whatever the outcome our humanity remains
Let's not help the final curtain call
Push on through the liars & help each other’s lives
Lost humans
We’re running out of time
Stop conforming & lift the veil
Ascend & transcend

Distant memories of earth filled playing sunny days
Florist terror from the dark mysterious alley way
To travel the ridge down & back to the glowing warmth
Walking for hours exploring the nights suburban walk ways
Fallin’, callin', movin' away
Fallin', callin', The New River way
Early morning sorrow as life had changed some way
Many a laugh, many a cry, bricks & love that all should have
Bald eagles nest & moles borrow, cats abundant flow
Thanks for all those calming days & imagined lands for me to play

Monsters
04:25
|
|||
I was told about a creature
That I’ve never heard of.
Asked about the new river
And I could not find a sliver.
Bodies of water
Invite us all to fill the void
Real or imagined, the monster’s keen to kill your daughter
Distance between us and the water
Or is it just a childlike wonder
Increasing separation anxiety
From the elements of nature and depravity
Bodies in water
Rubber dolls are speaking for us all
Smiling down the altar, Mother Goddess owns the slaughter
Is it the drowning children once their parents called back home?
Is it whispers of the mermaids pushing our matter back at us?
Or is it a bag full of shredded dreams and Panama leaks
A Nix, Poseidon, Llorona
The Kraken,
Careful, the giant squids are real.
Ask them about their superpower and you will know their fears
Tell them you their fear, and you’ll become their fiend.
Swim, swim, little monster, swim.

We Must Find Beauty
03:37
|

They’ll tell you the world is built one way
But the stars are alive with alchemy
& the forest vibrates with wizardry
They’ll tell you how much you need their rules
If rules go one way then compliance ain’t the way
Fighting lies with inquisitive eyes
Butterflies eyes & a glowing sunrise
Black cats & orange mats
Over the horizon an ever shifting landscape
Dystopia Utopia, a youth death cult
Looking for peace, looking for calm
Looking for fate & finding harm
Sleight of hand & speech is band
A delicate mind mangled & muted
Looking for peace, looking for calm
Looking for fate & finding bright light
Shimmering shores & sinking suns
Coloured glowing nights, an electric atmosphere
Thick dark thorns
Twisting underfoot across the damp forest floor
Entering an ancient cathedral
My body pings, feel its breath
This is our church this is our heaven
Lies flow through many tributaries
Flattened with an extinction flame
Logic makes way for madness
Act now, act now
Sleeping hive minds, ignorant & blind
Weird to talk to strangers? Strange to listen to killers?
Weaponized anger & fear
Act now, act now
A creaking chorus, a lively spring
True power comes together & within

One calming evening in the spring, a strangeness in the air
A psychedelic glowing sky, a growing vibrant tonal hum
Above the tree line a light appears, a metallic monolith
Calling out in ore struck horror, time seems to slow right down
Across the great black yonder
Many have seen them across the sky,
Some who've seen have their minds are sucked dry
Over the ancient woods they flicker,
Along the river banks they dance & quiver
Across the great black yonder
The acrid smell of burning oak,
A silent harmonious eerie landing
Face to face, eye to eye
An amorphous limitless life
Across the great black yonder

Our Time
02:49
|
|||
Early spring Walthamstow evening
A Mexican on stage awaits
Blue motor, lookin' all Miss Monroe
Ten years go by in the flash of an eye
This is an ode to our time
In this era of divide
In an era we must shine
Times of love & laughter
Times of anger & pointless debate
A lot of walking, a lot of exploring
A lot of rolling & toking too
This is an ode to our time
No need for negativity
So let’s just remember the fun
Three a.m. aisle exploring, rainy car boot fun
Post Office fracas, birthday Heath snow
Misty's acrobatics flowing
Finding cancer's kryptonite, founding dark-light
Maps of cypress drawn, the cherry chariot rolls,
I like to think we had some fun

Comet
03:53
|
|||
The comet is coming to stay today
& maybe we'll hitch & ride away
Singing & dancing & loving & fun
From hidden agendas we'll hide away
Taken from the fading light
& delivered upon a bed of night
The history that binds us all
Is like a river that cascades & falls
Forests & mountains a church for all
Close your eyes, reach out & feel
Darkness is crying but the light is fighting
The woodland is breathing
Weird creatures are stirring
The tree sap fuels me
From darkness we fall
Calling out my name again
Dancing in the summer rain
Pulling, luring, moving mind
Eyes of the leaves are lonely sign

Tooling up on a misty evening
Icy blast across the timbers creaking
Ready the flintlocks, powder dry
Subjects of fate let this be warning
Creeping to the sound of the horses snorting
Terrifying from all the shadows silent surprise
Highwayman of the dark Winchmore night
Thieving & breathing
On through the night & on through the dawn
On & on & on the wooded trail
Sleep through the day & wake in dusk's warm glow
On & on & on the horses trail
With riches come wenches, highway cult
Prowler’s dirt path, a moonlighter's tale
A ruthless elite, romantic notions
Under owl's hustle, a looting to the tooting
Pious respect through righteous plunder
Solomon’s brook ambush, tighten neck he feels calling
I stared into heaven & I got no reply
I'd fallen out with my angel
Death in front of Green Dragon's awning
Left to swing & offer warning
A devil's respect, a fallen angel’s code
A man is solitude plus additions, this is order
Seeing his own eyes further than the living border
Before he’s gone, he’s already dreaming of the dead ones he never met
While reciting the birds nest song
Killing & stealing & histories erased
Sliding & swerving & getaway good

Feeling the fresh night air
Wishing for another’s glow
Staring into the cosmos
I'll meet you their
Take a stroll with me
Back the ancient misty green
The pale enchantress of the hill
She looks at me & I ascend away
Let's gaze upon the universe
& forget that man exists
Looking forward into a future
A future we know can't exist
I wonder why? I wonder how did it get this way?
Maybe in unison we can find a way
Take a stroll with me
Back the ancient misty green
The pale enchantress of the hill
She looks at me & I ascend away
