America - home of the free
To turn your life into a mockery
Born and raised to make believe
That the priviliged few will set you free

With the bombs bursting in air
Gas lights up just about everywhere
Invoke scarcity for cryptic shift
Export more lies for a power grift

Sowing fears to reap the tears
The promise drags it's tail in stale defeat
Cut yourself till you no longer bleed
The sacrifice still cannot meet your needs

"America the beautiful, America will save us all,
America the Glory Hole, America will eat your soul!"

America - got love for me??
Give it all up for you is a one-way street
America - say What to me??
Reverting all God's children back to beasts

Lost Horizon

Shaking on my legs
Trembling like a leaf
I hope that it is joy
But it also feels like grief

I do not have a clue
About how this should feel
But I know that this is truth
And that I need to heal

I know it will be fine
at times like this I grow
But man, it really hurts
It's an horrendous show

Tomorrow I will see
what I have left behind
It feels extremely free
Another place and time

It's okay but it also sucks
This trip of moving on
The sadness of a loss and yet
It makes me feel so strong

It's okay, but it sucks

Trapped Rat

When I was young I remember watching Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats on Top Of The Pops rip up a picture of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John from Grease. Summer nights had been at number 1 for seven weeks. The Rats had knocked it off to take the number one spot with Rat Trap. 
I was around 11 and thought this guy is so cool and the music and storytelling lyrics captivated me. 
This is the reason I wanted to be a frontman which lead on my journey of music from playing live at Birmingham’s Nec, releasing singles, albums on various labels and finally my last ever band gig selling out Ronnie Scott’s. 
These days I’m more of a bedroom rockstar recording remotely which suits me fine. It’s a young man’s game.
Trapped Rat is a continued story of Rat Trap and how in my head I thought Billy & Judy ended up 45 years later.
Yes I know it’s a long track but stick with the story as it’s a short story in song.
Noobly said it’s our Jungleland like Springsteen and I agree with him.
Hope you enjoy the journey because Rat Trap still remains one of my favourite all time tunes. 
And Geldof in his early work was a lyrical inspiration to me. 

V1
Billy rocks from side to side sitting in the darkness 
Hes listening to music that now makes him feel worthless 
The songs they remind him of those younger days 
When he thought he had no future 
And needed to change his ways 

Bridge pre chorus 
And Gorgeous  Judy was the only precious thing 
And he don’t see her no more 
Cause he’s a troubled thing 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

V2
Billy don’t leave the house only to go down the offey 
8 on the dot to buy cheap booze and backey 
He still pushes the button to cross that busy road 
He’s now in his early sixties and god he feels the cold 

(Bridge pre chorus )
As the youths are hanging around the yellow streets lights 
In years gone by he would have picked a fight 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

Chorus 
Your still  a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Your still a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Even in your old age x2



V3
Judy made a life with some hot shot lawyer
And her life with Billy is just something that annoys her
And when she arrives she pictures the Italian cafe 
It’s new bricks and mortar shes now visiting her and Billy’s daughter 

V4
Judy now in the bracket of middle classes 
And now drinks her coffee in double walled borosilicate glasses
And now 50p is  the least of her worries & cares 
She lives the highlife with panache grace &  flair

(Bridge pre chorus)
She don’t speak of Billy and nights spent together 
She as her own family from the land of never never 
She knows the rats 
She know the people 
It’s not hard for Judy  to decide these days
These days 

Chorus 

Lead break 

Trapped Rat Billy ……to end

Trapped Rat ~ Conscience Of Kings

This song I wrote in 2009 and it's just an old time 1970-1980 power pop rock song, Charlie did a great job singing it and I think we rocked it pretty good! Think of The Cars! Sometimes you just have to say "Damn, look what she's doin' to me!" The video is new, I finished it last month, I think it enhances the song pretty well.

My wife likes it so if she likes it, it's gotta be good, right? It's sassy and at times funny and it's full of cliche's but hell, so is life! I hope you guys like it! Dance if you feel like it, why not? You only live once! Cheers! 🥂

"WHAT SHE'S DOIN'TO ME"

Tigra

Lyrics derived from Antonio de Guevara (1480-1545). The text was written around 1539 in Latin. De Guevara had already had his experiences at the court of Charles the Fifth. The section from which the text is taken was a treatise on the government court, a critique.

Music: Mike Krath
Lyrics and Vocals: Xian3
DAW: Reason 12
VSTs: Nexus, Omnisphere, and other Synths.

Lyrics:

Farewell world, 
`Cos you are not to be trusted
Still nothing to hope from you
In your house the past has already vanished,
The present disappears under our hands,

The future has never begun,
The most enduring falls,
The strongest thing breaks,
And the most eternal thing comes to an end; thus,
That you are a dead man among the dead,
And in a hundred years you will, not for an hour, 
Let us live 

Farewell world,
`Cos you will take us captive,
And will not let us go again,
You bind us and do not dissolve us again;
You afflict and do not comfort,
You steal and give nothing back,
You accuse us and have no cause,
You condemn and hear no party;
So you kill us without judgment,
And bury us without dying! 

With You there is 
No joy without sorrow,				
No quietness without discord,
No love without suspicion,
No peace without fear,
No abundance without shortcomings,
No honor without blemish,
No good without evil conscience,
No status without complaint,
And no friendship without falsehood,
(Farewell World)

(Farewell World)
...

God bless you world,
`Cos in your house the great lords and favorites will be overthrown,
The unworthy brought forth,
The traitors with mercy regarded,
The faithful placed in corners,
The wicked left alone,
And the innocent condemned,

The wise and qualified are given leave,
And to the unskillful great pay,
The obstinate are believed,
And the honest and upright have no credit,
Everyone does what he wants,
And no one what he should do

(God bless you World)
…
for no one is content or satisfied with you, 
if he is poor, he wants to have; 
if he is rich, he wants to count for much; 
if he is despised, he wants to rise high;
if he is wronged, he wants revenge; 
if he is in favor, he wants to command; 
if he is vicious, he only wants to be of good courage.
(Farewell World)
(Farewell World)

Farewell World (collab with Xian3)

Hello dear Listeners,

Indeed, it's been a long while since Tim and I posted New Music together as  Shekinah Fire*, but today's the day!

This improvisation, recorded on our one Stereo Mic, April 8th during the Solar Eclipse. I am on the ancient upright Grand Piano and Timothy on his Telecaster electric Guitar. What came forth as we played were allelujahs for  the joy of Spring and the wonders of improvisation.

In case you're wondering about the title, the jewel-like 'sparks' made visible in the Sun's Corona just before it reached Totality then as it exited (as captured in the Photo), are called 'Baily's Beads'. We hope you'll hear them as the music unfolds.

May you enJOY!
