I have looked on you from afar,
Shining like an ancient star,
You must be an old soul,
Because I found you,
Don't ask how I know this,
But it helped my eyes see you.

I know.
Oh yes I know,
Oh yes I do.

I see you as beautiful,
As rich as gold through and through,
So many other's think you are so plain,
But I cannot say the same.
They do not see your inner beauty,
No, not the real you.

I do,
I don't know why yet,
But I know I do.

Long flowing jet black hair,
Piercing eyes,
some might say a cold stare.
Going nowhere but deep into my soul.
That I know.

I never can forget you,
So glad I ever met you,
You made me happy this day,
Please don't ever go away.

I pray my Raven beauty will stay,
That she will never go away,
Yet I know she will in time,
As she exists only in my mind,
She will haunt me and taunt me through time,
I don't care though because she is mine.

I know,
Her beauty is so captivating
and so devastatingly grows,
I know, I can never let her go.

My Raven Beauty

How do I feel?

Tired.

Tired of life.

Existing seems to be,
an exercise in futility,
Why feel like this?
I do not know,

I can,
barely answer the question,
It needs to be,
quantified.

All I know is I hang by a thread,
If it was not for my mate,
I would probably be dead,

I appear to have no issues,
But in truth,
I am secretly screwed,
by people unknown to you.

If you lose me,
Do not be sad.
I had a good time here,
Just be be glad,

There were happy times,
When I was on my bike,
The world was mine,
I loved my life,

For that short time,
Then I got to work,
and realized,
I was just a jerk!

One getting taken advantage of,
By The Corporation.

Yeah...
Fuck that.

Fun has left my life lately.
Now It's just bleak existence.
I am not up for,
Twenty more years of this instance.

At this point life,
just conscript me,
put me on the front lines,
I will die willingly.

Why?
We all ask why?
That great question why?

you know there is no answer!

I am tired boss

Born into a world of lies
Imprisoned by our corporate lives
Live to work
Work to die
Born to serve the parasites.

Work and pay, and work and die.
All for their bottom line.
Toil and work and pay and die,
All for their bottom line!

Bled and drained to fuel the machine,
With greed as far as the eye can see.
Lost our homes and lost our lives,
To the vultures. To the parasites.

Work and pay, and work and die.
All for their bottom line.
Toil and work and pay and die.
All for their bottom line!

They have trained us from the start
To be dumb not smart
They want a system of slaves,
Too stupid to know their cage.

Fed and trained by the machine,
With greed as far as the eye can see,
Lost our homes and lost our lives,
To the vultures,
To the parasites.

"This is not a test.
This is the emergency broadcast system
Announcing the commencement of the annual corporate sanctioned cleanse.
By the law of our great nation.
You have been granted permission to purge.
Please make way for the most important day of the year.
The beginning of the end."

This is not a test

Deep in the gum trees, under the moon,
Lurk the shadows of a certain doom.
They’re fuzzy, they’re cuddly — or so it seems,
But the Drop Bears hunt in your darkest dreams.

Killer Koalas with a blood-red stare,
If you don’t believe me, best beware.
They’ll fall from the branches, right on you,
They are the War Marsupials of Doom.

The marsupials of doom,
Hiding in the eucalyptus gloom.
You will disappear without a trace
When the marsupials land on your face.

By the water’s edge, where the shadows slide,
Salties grin with their jaws held wide.
And if the spiders don’t get you, the snakes might try,
It’s an Aussie buffet and you’re the meat pie.

But nothing’s as deadly as the cuddly disguise,
Soft little killers with murder in their eyes.
Laugh if you want, you’ll be gone by noon,
Blamed on the War Marsupials of Doom.

Oh, the marsupials of doom,
They’ll smile at you before they consume.
You're invisible only with Vegemite’s perfume,
From the jaws of the marsupials of doom.

Blue-ringed octopus, a bite so small,
Western brown snake — nastiest of them all.
Redbacks in your boots, funnel webs too…
But none hold a candle to what Drop Bears do.

Oh, the marsupials of doom,
Australia’s lullaby, your final tune.
If you hear one drop, you’d better assume,
You're going to be eaten by the marsupials of doom.

So spread that Vegemite, don’t be a fool,
It’s the only law in the Aussie bush school.
Forget the sharks, forget the crocs —
Fear only the koalas that hunt in flocks.

Marsupials of Doom

We sail to the Western shores,
Boats all set for war,
We will plunder and maim,
then come back and do it again.

Threshing oars cut through the sea,
Our longboats overly mean,
We fight, we know no fear,
You better run if we come near.

Viking warriors on the prowl,
hear the war drums howl,
We do not come in peace,
We come to make you grieve.

We sail to the Western shores,
Boats all set for war,
We will plunder and maim,
then come back and do it again.

Threshing oars cut through the sea,
Our longboats overly mean,
We fight, we know no fear,
You better run if we come near.

Viking warriors we will remain,
war and plunder is our game,
We do not come in peace,
We come to make you grieve.

Vikings

What do I do?
I am tired.
My direction is changing,
But I feel expired.

I know life is in flux,
I don't trust it but,
I would like to see one light,
Just to give me hope...

HOPE.

Hope is merely a denial of reality.

If you cling to hope,
then you have nothing.
Action is the only way out.
Back yourself, have no doubt.

I could ask 1000 people,
"What do I do?"
I will get 1000 different answers.
I need to do this myself.

Find my own path.

You would think that by my age,
you would have things sorted,
not be in a cage,
Yeah not all of us are there.

I am still hating,
Still raging,
quietly contemplating,
Why I am here.

So when they tell you,
you have to do something,
Don do it just freeze.
You are free, do not follow them.

I am thankful for my friends,
Without them,
I would already met my end.
But you guys are awesome.

Stick with me,
and I might be on this silly planet a moment longer.

Hope

I am so broken.
I have lost connection to you.
Whats the use of heaven,
If I cannot share it with you?

We were so young at the start,
I feel like we have grown so far apart,
but isn't that what talking is for?
please remind me once more...

I always asked for your time,
and though you said you were mine,
you never delivered this through,
and now I feel this is on you.

Time.
We all think we have enough of it.
Time.
But we cannot get enough of it.

Walking our dog through the park,
without you here it is just so dark,
I keep wondering why it's this way?
What did I do or say?

Why did you have to go?
Life is just so empty now.
Will another Princess I find?
Why can't you just be mine?

Be mine again?
Come back and try again.
I still love you so,
nothing will change that sorrow.

We drifted so far apart,
both our faults in part,
but I still love you dearly,
Damn I cannot think clearly.

Time.
We all think we have enough of it.
Time.
But we cannot get enough of it.

Time.
Do we all do enough with it.
Time.
Most of us end up losing ourselves to it.

If I could look back to our younger days,
give some wisdom that goes both ways,
I would ask you to speak your heart more,
and I would understand, not go to war.

Love is to precious to be lost,
once it's gone we count the cost,
not only in heartache and time,
But in the fact I still want you to be mine.

"We are not dead yet."

"There is still time."

Where did we go wrong

I am kind of over it you know?
You know when you have been in the store too long,
and you just have to head to the exit?
That's where I am at now.

The young folk think they have the license,
The title hold on dying wildly.
Out of time, out of place, out of nature?
Naaa they don't.

Those were the one's that just went too hard to fast.
The 27 club some people call them.
I am way past that year,
and for some silly reason I am still here.

No. Young people die from stupidity mostly.
Old people die just because it is their time.
For me? Well?
I am in the middle of both of those groups.

I really am just kind of tired.
Really just over being here.
People piss me off,
and I piss them off.

Do you know what is the scariest thing on Earth to a Gen Z?
A pissed off Gen X with a vocab.
They do not have a clue,
How to handle you.

The little bastards just fuck off.
Kind of the way I like it really.
Occasionally though one doesn't run,
and you know, you just know there is hope for this one.

I have been in many jobs
Many situations,
but seeing the current generation
scares the shit out of me.

Our politicians are selling us out,
our lands for sale but we don't wanna sell.
Other methods of removal for these assholes
should be allowed.

As I watch the world on the abyss
yes it was on it before, but not like this
I just wonder?
Why keep going on like this?

Well, I don't have to.
The next 20 years looks pretty bleak,
for one with my body.
For Fuck sake's the check engine light is on.

So... If the music stops in here,
If it dies, don't fear,
I have moved on,
just don't ever fucking cry or carry on.

Gen X

In nomine Dei, vade in pace
Sed etiam in nomine eius domum vestram defende
Non gladiis
Sed linguis vestris

Si hostis adhuc ad te venit
Da ei unum monitionem amplius
tunc et tunc solum
urbes defende

Indutus in armis Domini
fortis es
ensem gerens
potens es et victor

Fac ut ad caelum respicias
In aurora proelii
Dominus tibi gratiam det.
Honor et iustitia tibi sunt

Sanctificetur nomen tuum
Sanctificentur qui viam tuam ambulant
Benedicti puro corde
Benedicti sint pueri

In nomine Dei, nunc in pace vade
Unum cum creatione eius esto
Ama et protege omnia
Filii eius estis postremo

Hoc est verbum Dei
Esto bonus miles Domini

English

In Gods name go in peace.
But also in his name defend your home.
Not with swords,
But with your tongues.

If the foe still comes at you,
give him one more warning,
then and only then
defend your cities.

Wrapped in the Lords armour,
you are strong,
wielding his sword,
you are mighty and victorious.

Make sure you look to the heavens,
At the dawn of battle,
May the Lord grant you favour,
Honour and righteousness is yours.

Hallowed be thy name,
Hallowed be those that walk your path,
Blessed be the pure of heart,
Blessed be the children.

In Gods name now go in peace,
Be at one with his creation.
Love and protect it all.
You are his sons after all.

This is Gods word.
Be a good soldier of the Lord.

Go in Peace

So here’s a little tale for you,
A story born of love and truth.
I was faithful to my lady,
Loved her deeply, loved her daily.

Gave her my heart, my trust, my world —
Every promise, every word.
And how was I repaid in the end?
She was unfaithful… and then she went.
Left me standing with the debt.

Love — it’s a double-edged sword,
It can save you… or cut you to the core.
Love — you keep coming back to find it,
Even when you’ve lost it, even when it’s hurt before.

That’s how powerful love can be,
Without it, we die inside quietly.
My kingdom — for a lady’s hug,
And a heart that I can trust.

I’m not picky, don’t need a model,
Just a soul that’s kind and noble.
Someone who can challenge me,
Meet me on the field intellectually.
That’s a turn-on, pure and sure —
How could I ever ask for more?

Love — it’s a double-edged sword,
It can save you… or kill you in the war.
Love — you keep coming back to find it,
Even when you’ve lost it, even when it’s hurt before.

My kingdom…
For a hug.

Lost in the Beat

I am just an older guy making music because it pleases me to do so. I have been making music for over 3 years so some of these are back catalogue, but some are new.
