The SWR Project - Waiting
Written / Vocals : Fletch
Music : Fletch (GB), Steve P (USA) & Julie B (CAN)
(C) The SWR Project 2025

Waiting

And you realize the truth
They’ve always lied
There’s no reason for faith
No reason to try
And there is no belief
No certainty, no fact
No means to defy
No escape, no act

And love never fades
Just ghosts out of view
Grieving reminders
Of what never came true
And it makes no difference
What you try to do
Happiness is a shadow
That only fools pursue

Waiting for a win
A dream to pull you through
Waiting for the end
When there’s nothing else to do

And life is suffering
A truth they conceal
A vision of lies
To keep us from the real
And they’re all corrupt
Just playing the game
Trying to survive
With no rules and no shame

And the pain you feel
When they tax your dreams
Is just deception
In time’s cruelest scheme
And you could make the most of it
While you're passing through
But what’s the point of lying
When it’s all untrue

Waiting for a win
A dream to pull you through
Waiting for the end
When there’s nothing else to do

Waiting

The SWR Project - Bring It
Written / Vocals : Fletch
Music : Fletch (GB), Steve P (USA)  & Julie B (CAN)
(C) The SWR Project 2025

Bring It

Laughing casting trusting combine
Joking ‘n hoping that fortunes align
Spin it win it waiting for a sign
Bring it ‘n sing it a meeting of minds

Chilling ‘n thrilling making the time
Listening adrenaline sharing wine
String it ‘n ring it chanting rhymes
Bring it ‘n sing it secure inside

Romancing chancing a stranger blind dates
Looking for love someone who makes
You feel special to live and to dare
All life’s moments to hold and to share

Eating in binging a movie unwind
Travelling imagining wonders to find
Swing it wing it loving being kind
Bring it ‘n sing it I’ll make you mine

Romancing chancing a stranger blind dates
Looking for love someone who makes
You feel special to live and to dare
All life’s moments to hold and to share

All life’s moments to hold and to share

The SWR Project - The Ballad Of Mary Read (Spanish Ladies)
Written / Vocals : Fletch
Music : Fletch (GB), Steve P (USA) & Julie B (CAN)
(C) The SWR Project 2025

The Ballard Of Mary Read (Spanish Ladies)

She was born of shame and raised in lies
Disguised as a boy just to survive
She took to the sea to escape that life
Cutlass in hand a musket and knife

They cursed her name they called her sin
A woman who fought like the Devil’s own kin
To loot and plunder by day and by night
Eventually soaked she lost her fight

The chains don’t break and the tides don’t turn
A cold wind calls and the powder won’t burn
No grave for her no stone no name
A pirates fate is bound in chains
A pirates fate is bound in chains

She held her blade till the day she fell
Locked in the dark to rot in her cell
With child unborn her spirit grew weak
No ship to sail no future to seek

The chains don’t break and the tides don’t turn
A cold wind calls and the powder won’t burn
No grave for her no stone no name
A pirates fate is bound in chains
A pirates fate is bound in chains

A pirates fate is bound in chains

[Spanish Ladies]

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu you sweet ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail for old England
We hope that some day we may sail here again

We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt sea
Til we strike soundings in the Channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues

We hove our ship to with the wind at sou' west boys
We hove our ship to our soundings to clear
And we billowed the top sail the sail of down channel
We headed down channel to old England dear

We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt sea
Til we strike soundings in the Channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu you sweet ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail for old England
We hope that some day we will sail here again

We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt sea
Til we strike soundings in the Channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues

The SWR Project - Crusades
Written / Vocals : Fletch
Music : Fletch (GB), Steve P (USA) & Julie B (CAN)
(C) The SWR Project 2025

Crusades

Let there be light and forbidden fruit
The blind lead the blind in a frivolous pursuit
For a Golden Calf lambs to the slaughter
Baptism of fire turning wine into water

Wolves in sheep's clothing lead you astray
Cast pearls before swine repent and obey
Those who use the sword will die by the blade
Put your house in order atonement to pay

And I wasted too much time
On something that was never mine

He’s under your bed he’s in your head
Tells you he’s right all day and night
He’s under the stairs he hears your prayers
Hidden within watching you sin
He’s everywhere crusades begin
Father release your rosary screams
Checking your sickness in his book of dreams
Faith in forgiveness crusades begin

Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Haman’s leading for power and lust
Your brother's keeper is lost and scared
His flesh and blood the cross you bear

An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth
Matt seven fifteen the behemoths let lose
The salt of the earth suffer and pray
Echo hail Mary’s a judgement day

As I stood on the firing line
I found out you weren’t divine

He’s under your bed he’s in your head
Tells you he’s right all day and night
He’s under the stairs he hears your prayers
Hidden within watching you sin
He’s everywhere crusades begin
Father release your rosary screams
Checking your sickness in his book of dreams
Faith in forgiveness crusades begin

He’s under your bed he’s in your head
Tells you he’s right all day and night
He’s under the stairs he hears your prayers
Hidden within watching you sin
He’s everywhere crusades begin

We are all visitors to this time, this place.
We are just passing through.
Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love…
and then we return home

When you’re searching when you feel unease
Listen to nature breath

When you’re lost when you need a guide
Listen to her voice inside

Take time be patient question your truths
Listen to others views

Take less than you give do what’s right
Listen to your inner sight
Listen Listen

Be kind be hopeful
Be curious and grateful
Be warm be present
Unhurried and transparent

When you know more the less you need
Listen learn and believe

When you lose direction preserve don’t destroy
Listen simplicity in joy
Listen Listen

Be kind be hopeful
Be curious and grateful
Be warm be present

The SWR Project - Where Are You Now
Written / Vocals : Fletch
Music : Fletch (GB), Steve P (USA) & Julie B (CAN)
(C) The SWR Project 2025

Where are you now					

Where are you now
Where are you now
It dissed you, and dismissed you, and it twisted your past
It kissed you, and it fixed you, then it tore you apart

Where are you now
Where are you now
Made you pay, stole limbs away, it saw you fall from grace
As you decay, it ignored you pray, as you struggle with malaise

Where are you now
Where are you now
Divulge the truth, they indulge you, but ignore what occurred 
They begrudge you, and misjudge you, and they hold you to their word

Where are you now
Where are you now
Tired of listening, to the sickening, ignoring all they say
Your christening, reconditioning, you’ll find a winning way

Where are you now

How precious life is, your special and unique
They can’t label you, or tell you that your weak 
Never feel regret, for what you couldn’t be
Your far more than that, be yourself be free 
Where are you now

Where are you now
Where are you now

All life’s, broken promises, can’t pull you apart
It’s living, with the lies, and ignoring bleeding hearts 

Where are you now

How precious life is, your special and unique
They can’t label you, or tell you that your weak 
Never feel regret, for what you couldn’t be
Your far more than that, be yourself be free 
Where are you now

Where Are You Now

#German
Karges, dunkles Land.
Gänzlich still, weit, unbekannt.
Sollst so manch Legende schüren,
doch heut mir nur die Kutsche führen.
 
Durch wilde, kahle Klüfte -
hinein ins Ödeland. (still, weit, unbekannt)
Dort herrschen eisge Lüfte,
wie nie zuvor gekannt. (tief drinn im Ödeland)
 
Wohin ich blick - nur Eis und Schnee...
gespenstge Kiefer, dunkler See...
schauderhaftes schließt mich ein -
kein Weg, kein Steg, kein Lampenschein!
 
Der Pferde Kräfte schwinden
in einer Nebelwand,
gepeitscht von Geisterwinden,
der Schlaf mich übermannt -
tief drin im Ödeland.

#English

Sparse, dark land.
Completely calm, large, unknown.
[You1] are said to fuel many a legend
but today you shall only lead my carriage.2
 
Through wild, barren chasms -
into the wasteland. (calm, large, unknown)
Icy airs are reigning there,
as never known before. (deep inside the wasteland)
 
Wherever I look - only ice and snow...
eery pine tree, dark lake...
[something] ghastly encloses me -
no path, no jetty3, no shining lamp!4
 
The horses' energy is disappearing
inside of a wall of fog
[being] whipped by ghost winds
sleep is overwhelming me -
deep inside the wasteland.
