Lyrics:  Obfuscated
Obfuscated, obfuscated
You make things unclear, You make things obscure,
Obfuscated, You confuse me
Obfuscated,  i’m perplexed how You make things complex, 
when you hide the truth when you bend the truth

obfuscated
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Obfuscated,
What you hide from the light is concealing
Deliberate misleading is deceiving
beguile Deceit, mislead, cheat, make  believe

Obfuscated,
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Put in the shadows out of the light
In the fog, there’s no clear sight
In dirty water, it’s dark, you don’t see me
The answer is foggy, the message is misty

Obfuscated     
web of lies, in disguise - web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies
Obfuscated     
duplicity
double identity,  who do I trust
one or  none

Let’s face it, you know it
With a good sauce, you will eat it
Let’s face it, you know it
With the right words, you’ll believe it
Let’s face it, you know it
With a nice story you’ll  Buy it
If you want to believe it 
you won’t fight it

Obfuscated (collab Paploviante)

Lyrics by Glen Granthem

I have to let her go, it's time to let her go
Cos she don’t want me  -  "She don't want me" 

It's hard to say, yet so easy to see 
That girl don’t want me  -  "Girl don’t want me"

Chorus 1

Overpowered by the price she paid when she was younger
She says she’s in control but controlled is what I see

Because it's in her eyes, that pain she hides  
It still lingers   "It still lingers”

She guards her heart, from the better parts 
So not to love me  "Girl don’t love me "

Chorus 2

I must admit at times I’ve failed to understand her
She needs her time and space, so desperately 

Solo  

Chorus 3

Like the freedom in the sun and wind, she can’t be smothered
But they'll never be a place inside, her heart for me

I think I’ve always known, So I must let her go
That girl don’t  love me  - "She don’t love me"

Although I love her so, she’s gotta go
That girl can’t love me  -  "she can’t love me "

Outro ending  

She don’t love me, she don’t want me,  she don’t need  me
   
That girl  don’t want me...................

I Must Let Her Go (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration with Video)

Norse, Nordic, or Scandinavian mythology, is the body of myths belonging to the North Germanic peoples, stemming from Old Norse religion and continuing after the Christianization of Scandinavia, and into the Nordic folklore of the modern period. 

Lyrics

Veiðikona ​(Huntress)
Know me as Huntress
Know me as winter, kalt veður ​(cold weather)
þekk mig sem Skaði ​(Know me as Skaði)
Heir of Thrymheimr

Over frosted fjords, through wolf-ridden valleys,
Djörf, öflugur og óbugandi ​(bold, powerful and unyielding)
whipped by vindur, gust, and gale we rally ​(wind)
Unflinching, fiercer than the Aesir gods
Við komum frá Ymi ​(We come from Ymir)
Blood of our blood

Voices Of The Fallen

NO DEVOTION (RevCo/Ministry)

Buy it HERE

New songwritten by David Cooper and Ralph Donkin.

Performed and produced by David Cooper.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

She was knocking on the door of the age of consent
Almost all grown up waiting for the event
Looking oh so sweet and so innocent

Just a little flattered by her interest
Tried to play it cool but you'd never have guessed 
Feeling overwhelmed but truly blessed

Chorus

Through my eyes I wish you could see
See the things that I can see
And if you take me seriously
We'd be together 
Forever in perfect harmony

A penny for your thoughts is not a lot to pay
I'd gladly give a million just to hear you say
You know I think today could be your lucky day

Chorus

Bridge

When you want the present to last
The present soon becomes the past

Solo

Knew where I was going cos I'd been there before
Once bitten, twice shy, I don't care anymore
Think I'll take my chance, that's what life is for

Chorus x 2

Perfect Harmony (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

🌪️🔮 BORN OF CHAOS 🔮🌪️

Shadows creep
Skies torn
Vicious beasts
Chaos born
Blood rains
Earth scorched
Skull throne
War's torch

Screams echo
Void calls
Empires crash
Kingdoms fall
Blackened sun
Hope depraved
Cursed fate
Enslaved

Iron fists
Doom's gate
Eternal night
Wrath's fate
Rotten flesh
End time
Despair reigns
Death's chime

Screams echo
Void calls
Empires crash
Kingdoms fall
Blackened sun
Hope depraved
Cursed fate
Enslaved

Guitar screeches like the dying..
Feedback howls
Tempers frying...

Ancient gods
Twisted fears
Thrones of bones
Drenched in tears

Screams echo
Void calls
Empires crash
Kingdoms fall
Blackened sun
Hope depraved
Cursed fate
Enslaved

Beyond the veil

Born of Chaos

some birds can sing in perfect fifths~ 
& perfect fourths. 
This started out as a riff. 
much love.
