Cosmic Adventures! (Covers and Interpretations)

There’s Room on the Door, Rose

Member when you tried to jump, Rose
And I saved your life
You’d think you would slide over,
Or at least you would have tried

Sinking in slow motion 
Gives you cause to cry
At least you’ll have your flashbacks
Of when I was alive

There’s Room on the Door, Rose
But I’ll just let it slide
There’s Room on the Door, Rose
But it’s more romantic if I die

Member that time we was dancin’
With all them steerage folk
I knew it was beneath you
But you got drunk and had a smoke

In the back of that car, Rose,
We had an awful lotta fun
And that time we was sailin’
into the setting sun

I was king of the world
And you were my queen
Now you’ve got yer memories
And I’m turnin’ green

There’s Room on the Door, Rose
But I’ll just let it slide
There’s Room on the Door, Rose
But it’s more romantic if I die

I’ll be waitin’ in heaven
Still young and in my prime
And I’ll draw ya lots of portraits
Of your wrinkled ol’ behind

Taking the Way Back

(IPG1)
Kicking ass with rhythm patterns until now-unknown
I'm light years ahead like another-time zone 
More than you can handle in another-rhyme zone
Thought I was done not till your minds blown
This is how I do it not being conceited
A cosmic contingency mission completed
I rock reality phonies defeated

(Kane)
My name is Kane, I walk the land
bring peace and harmony where I stand
always seek peace, fight for the soul
To endanger one, endangers the whole

As I walk, there are none to call on
Master Po’s wisdom I fall on 
Use kung fu fists of stone, 
Remember Master Po, never walk alone

Don’t fight force with force, redirect
Slip beneath the wave, respond with a check
better check than to maim or deface,
life is precious, can’t be replaced

studied mantis, dragon and tiger
ways of nature lead us higher
fight against what endangers the soul
It is stronger than time untold

This is IPG1 and Kane
Taking it Back
We're On the Way
Taking it Back

(IPG1)
Check the rhymes the style and the literature 
as the Rhythm evolves you'll see the spirit is pure
I'm going to rock the beats like never before 
And when I'm done you'll be waiting for more
traveling through time could be a blast from the past
present or future but built to last
now as the beat hits it knock you out your daze
remember the beat was just first phase 

(Kane)
Master Po says, in the immortal Tao
bend like a willow, never bow down
fight for those who need it most
die if I must and become a force ghost

Heart knows no danger, doesn’t exist,
Fear melts away for those who persist
Victory is yours with presence of mind
the will to move at danger’s first sign

(IPG1)
I Stay alert and always at the ready
don't mean I'm dangerous just means I'm deadly
There'll be casualties as a matter of fact
Personally I can guarantee that
Cause I rock reality phonies defeated
Total calamity My patience depleted
Empowered by the beat raining down defeat 
so cry me a River cause I'm here to deliver 
another verse to make you shiver

(Kane)
Seek not answers, 
but the right questions
Don’t be fooled by misdirections
Fear is like a seed that grows
In the darkness of the unknown

Reflections bounce back at your eyes,
Don’t react to tricks of mind
body and mind's a powerful force,
calm and wise as a matter of course

This is IPG1 and Kane
Taking it Back
We're On the Way
Taking it Back

(Kane)
Hate is salt water, thirst grows worse
Fear makes victims, and is a curse
Don’t rob the present, dwelling on the past
Or rob the future, forgetting what’s passed

Heaven and earth are one, so we must 
Discipline our mind and bodies and trust
the wisdom of our Shaolin way
our skills benefit all we may

This is IPG1 and Kane
Taking it Back
We're On the Way
Taking it Back

Feline Zorro and his trusty companion, Shadow Chaser, wish to relate another story. This one, is Safety Dance, by the super-group Men Without Hats. I have lost my hat in the heat of battle before, so I can relate. Please enjoy!

As far as the 'everyone look at your hands line', that is a good one. I use that one, along with, 'hey, your boots are untied', or 'hey, what is that on your shirt'? Then, that is when I strike!

Cimmeria
by Robert E. Howard

I remember
The dark woods, masking slopes of sombre hills;
The grey clouds' leaden everlasting arch;
The dusky streams that flowed without a sound,
And the lone winds that whispered down the passes.

Vista upon vista marching, hills on hills,
Slope beyond slope, each dark with sullen trees,
Our gaunt land lay. So when a man climbed up
A rugged peak and gazed, his shaded eye
Saw but the endless vista--hill on hill,
Slope beyond slope, each hooded like its brothers.

It was a gloomy land that seemed to hold
All winds and clouds and dreams that shun the sun,
With bare boughs rattling in the lonesome winds,
And the dark woodlands brooding over all,
Not even lightened by the rare dim sun
Which made squat shadows out of men; they called it
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and deep Night.

It was so long ago and far away
I have forgotten the very name men called me.
The axe and flint-tipped spear are like a dream,
And hunts and wars are like shadows. I recall
Only the stillness of that sombre land;
The clouds that piled forever on the hills,
The dimness of the everlasting woods.
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night.

Oh, soul of mine, born out of shadowed hills,
To clouds and winds and ghosts that shun the sun,
How many deaths shall serve to break at last
This heritage which wraps me in the grey
Apparel of ghosts?  I search my heart and find
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night.

Lyrics: 

I am a human being,
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man!

They live in trees
And run through the forest,
Shoot poison arrows,
ride dinosaurs!

Taller than humans,
Stronger and faster!
Oh so much wiser,
Healthy and sane!

Connecting with spirit
Is what they live for!
They love the trees,
And animals too!

They have a braid
That plugs into nature,
See through the eyes
Of all living things!

I am a human being,
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man!

Humans destroy all they see
For shiny rocks!
We do not know
The value of things!

We have machines
and bombs and explosions!
We’re really good
at blowing up things!

They stand for nature
And all that’s lovely,
They stand for freedom
And what is right!

If we were them
We would be the victors,
And always win
Because we unite!

I am a human being
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man,
Meow!

Solomon Kane's Homecoming by Robert E. Howard

Music by Omellette of Mars
https://soundcloud.com/omelette2mars / https://soundcloud.com/omeletteofmars
 
Read by Cosmic Keanu

The white gulls wheeled above the cliffs,
the air was slashed with foam,
The long tides moaned along the strand
when Solomon Kane came home.
He walked in silence strange and dazed
through the little Devon town,
His gaze, like a ghost’s come back to life,
roamed up the streets and down.

The people followed wonderingly
to mark his spectral stare,
And in the tavern silently
they thronged about him there.
He heard as a man hears in a dream
the worn old rafters creak,
And Solomon lifted his drinking-jack
and spoke as a ghost might speak:

“There sat Sir Richard Grenville once;
in smoke and flame he passed,
“And we were one to fifty-three,
but we gave them blast for blast.
“From crimson dawn to crimson dawn,
we held the Dons at bay.
“The dead lay littered on our decks,
our masts were shot away.

“We beat them back with broken blades,
till crimson ran the tide;
“Death thundered in the cannon smoke
when Richard Grenville died.
“We should have blown her hull apart
and sunk beneath the Main.”
The people saw upon his wrists
the scars of the racks of Spain.

“Where is Bess?” said Solomon Kane.
“Woe that I caused her tears.”
“In the quiet churchyard by the sea
she has slept these seven years.”
The sea-wind moaned at the window-pane,
and Solomon bowed his head.
“Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
and the fairest fade,” he said.

His eyes were mystical deep pools
that drowned unearthly things,
And Solomon lifted up his head
and spoke of his wanderings.
“Mine eyes have looked on sorcery
in the dark and naked lands,
“Horror born of the jungle gloom
and death on the pathless sands.

“And I have known a deathless queen
in a city old as Death,
“Where towering pyramids of skulls
her glory witnesseth.
“Her kiss was like an adder’s fang,
with the sweetness Lilith had,
“And her red-eyed vassals howled for blood
in that City of the Mad.

“And I have slain a vampire shape
that sucked a black king white,
“And I have roamed through grisly hills
where dead men walked at night.
“And I have seen heads fall like fruit
in the slaver’s barracoon,
“And I have seen winged demons fly
all naked in the moon.

“My feet are weary of wandering
and age comes on apace;
“I fain would dwell in Devon now,
forever in my place.”
The howling of the ocean pack
came whistling down the gale,
And Solomon Kane threw up his head
like a hound that snuffs a trail.

A-down the wind like a running pack
the hounds of the ocean bayed,
And Solomon Kane rose up again
and girt his Spanish blade.
In his strange cold eyes a vagrant gleam
grew wayward and blind and bright,
And Solomon put the people by
and went into the night.

A wild moon rode the wild white clouds,
the waves in white crests flowed,
When Solomon Kane went forth again
and no man knew his road.
They glimpsed him etched against the moon,
where clouds on hilltop thinned;
They heard an eery echoed call
that whistled down the wind.

O Holy Day (No More Night)

O holy day, the Son is brightly shining,
It is the day of our savior’s return;
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
When He appears all souls feel their worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;

Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O day divine! O day when Christ returns!
O day, O Holy day, O day, of His return!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming;
Before God’s throne all of us will stand
Light of the world now forever gleaming,
There is no darkness left in the land

The King of Kings, to our weakness no stranger,
In all our trials born to be our friend;

Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O day divine! O day when Christ returns!
O day, O Holy day, O day, of His return.

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is Love and His gospel is Peace;
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful Chorus raise we;
Let all within us praise His holy name!

Christ is the Lord, O praise His Name forever,
Proclaim His holy name, Jesus, Lord, forevermore,
Proclaim His holy name, Jesus, Lord, forevermore!

O Holy Day (No More Night)

Praise to the glory of the countless loved ones mysteriously lost in recent years... they will not be forgotten.

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
