Echoes of Dust 1

Many people still believe strongly in religion however I'm quite the opposite. I think they largely insult the truth and still convince most people to follow them through fear and limiting people's outlook on the universe. The day we accept that and move on from them will be a good day for us all. At the very least I feel we need to evolve them to spiritual based docrines that are based on actual truth and to do that they need to align with actual science and modern discovery otherwise they will just be the divisive conflict causing truth limiters they have been for thousands of years keeping people living in the past!

Maga and the US christian right are currently showing everyone how detached from reality they are and they put their faith in a person as far away from supposed christian beliefs and moral standards as you could possibly get in Trump, yet they still want to cling to that old psychology so much they choose to support him because he tells them he's on their side. Its the same pattern throughout modern history christians will move the goal posts to try and survive in the real world instead of accepting a reality that's actually real and moving on with everyone else. All religions have the same protectionist mindset and it's poison for this beautiful planet plain and simple




Shame on you

In the name of truth you say
Yet molest our young like worthless prey
Aligned with fascist iron fist desires
For your secret truth bore anti-semetic mire
Oppress non believers in the name of your God
You give free reign to new political fraud
In the name of the truth you say
Yet your bible lies from page to page

We cannot be gay your doctrine say
That makes us beast in your truth way
Your words of protection have killed millions
No contraception aids dead civilians
We are born in sin says your brain bin
Our innocent beings untrained begin
In the name of truth your doctrine say
Shame on you and your mindless way

Half our people are the wrong sex
Fine women are still second class oppressed
You seed fake power in your fake reality
All for belief in unprovable insanity

You move the posts to try and fit in
You hold the reigns but grip is wearing thin
The truth evolved everyday
Your truth is stuck weak control dismay
You have nothing left of credit here
Your lies too deep and mindsets unclear
You make our evil and teach with fear
Bring on the day when religion's not here

Shame on you (Poem)

This song is inspired by a true story of a Mexican citizen I met who was incarcerated for 3 years without ever being charged, tried, or sentenced. Sadly, this is all too common in Mexico: "Four out of every 10 Mexicans currently behind bars have not been convicted of a crime, according to new official statistics that experts say show the depth of injustice in the country . . . Much of the issue stems from Mexico's use of mandatory pretrial detention, or prisión preventiva oficiosa, a no-bail system in which those accused of certain crimes such as burglary, fuel theft, kidnapping, or drug trafficking can be jailed without probable cause and held for years without trial." https://www.axios.com/2023/07/25/mexico-pretrial-detention-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador

For those listeners unfamiliar with Spanish, "Déjame ir" means "Let me go".

Lyrics: 
Ominous early morning knock on the door
Cops swarm in, pin him down on the floor
No reading of rights, just knocks ‘n’ deep bruises
Cascade of bad-mouthing, it scares and confuses
Tossed in a small cell, no hearing or trial
With five other inmates, not even a smile
A fist or a knife, a boot to the balls
For who or what is he taking this fall?      

Every day’s a nightmare straight outta Hell
The bad guys are devils, the good guys as well
If the sicko don’t getcha, a brutal guard will
So, you gotta stay quiet, you gotta stay still
In the showers come the men, there’s probably four
This time it’s the pretty boy pinned to the floor
A fist or a knife, a boot to the balls
For who or what is he taking this fall?

The chow’s pretty scarce, he gotta get more
Soul sold for the right to set up a store
Just to earn a few pesos to keep up his strength
When hunger grips, you go to any length
Every week they come round for a piece of the action
And if he falls short, there’s a harsh reaction
A fist or a knife, a boot to the balls
For who or what is he taking this fall?

Bridge
All he is seeking is peace of mind
Away from the fist, the boot and the knife
Peace of mind, yeah, peace of mind
And the chance to start a new life, start a new life, start a new life

Five years on, he’s still in the jail
No trial date announced, no chance to get bail
Five years lost, his wife and kids gone
No money to speak of, house sold for a song
His best mate’s been in for 15 years
Still awaiting a sentence, he still knows the fear
Of a fist or knife, a boot to the balls
And the question why did he take such a fall?      (Déjame ir x muchos)

The Fist, the Boot & the Knife

If the sky could crack Would it spill its heart 
If the stars could sing Would they play a part 
In a world where the echoes don't fade 
Would you hear my voice Or would it be delayed 

If I told you Would you stay 
If I showed you Would you sway 
If love's a game Let's press play 
If Oh if It’s all today

If the ground could shift Would it hold us still 
If the oceans whispered Would you feel the thrill
 In a life that spins like a record too fast 
Would we slow it down or make it last 

Questions tumble like falling dice 
Every answer comes at a price 

If I told you Would you stay 
If I showed you Would you sway 
If love's a game Let's press play 
If Oh if It’s all today 

If the wind could write It’d spell your name 
If the sun could blush It’d feel the same 
Every "if" is a door Every door's a chance 
Would you walk with me Would you take the dance

“Smokey Hornz” by Luke

Here is an unreleased track. I felt this character study song was too dark, but I hope you find it interesting. A character study of bitter man and his breakup blues.

Lyrics:
I'm drinking the Devils urine
It keeps my angels yearning
Drinking darkroom chemicals
It's coming up burning
Slowly developing
That our love is turning
And all my love spells 
That I got from the bottom of the well
All your forgiveness
All those sutures
That never ever held

No movie music gonna save our final scene
Those swelling strings
( Do you feel manipulated?)
(Ya  know what I mean?)
All those curse words
That you heard
When I became 
Exiled from your world

Out where the molecules
And the numbers live
That makes the world spin 
(just right!)
When I'm doing the cemetery polka
All night

All the fake excuses
All the lies
My ghost will haunt you
But It will never look you in the eyes
All those insults 
That you hurled
When I became
Exiled from your world
I'm an exile from your world

Exiled from your world...

Exiled From Your World

This is my single, Left Me For Dead. This is an original song, that is written, produced and recorded by Calyx Kre/Astral Realm Beats. 

This song is of rebirth, self-realization, and divine timing. You are the Queen of Cups, guided by Pluto’s alchemy in Aquarius, rising from the depths with compassion as your strength, intuition as your compass, and emotion as your magic.
The message is clear:
“Trust the unseen. Flow like water. You are loved, guided, and transforming into your highest truth. The impossible is not out of reach — it is already becoming you.”

Left Me For Dead

I like to wine & dine you in the best
Restaurants Mitchell star
It’s Gregg’s or Maccies on the bus cause this man he don’t own a car
(It really doesn’t matter because I getting the best of both )
It really doesn’t matter boys because we are all getting daily oats )
In the morning it’s salmon with poached eggs on french one sided posh toast
It’s a strong brew & cornflakes & another notch on the bedpost

Chorus

If only we could make up our minds
If only this was a sign of the times
In this three point love affair x2

V2
I can’t share you anymore with this caveman neanderthal
Hey pretty boy it’s not all about you you don’t have a clue
(I’m enjoying this boys can’t we stay close
I’m enjoying this boys wait to see what’s under my coat )
Good night Neanderthal I hope you have the worst nightmares
Look pretty boy just remember I’m the other side of our share

Chorus

If only we could make up our minds
If only this was a sign of the times

In this three point love affair ……repeat to end

3 Point Love Affair

For many years, an amateur theatre group from my hometown, in which a friend of mine also performs, has been putting on a fairy tale every Christmas season.
This year’s play is “Hans im Glück” (Hans in Luck), and I was asked to compose and produce the title song for it.
Since this is a charity project, with all proceeds going to support children’s causes, it was an easy and heartfelt “yes” for me. ❤️
Together with MiLu Lotus, I created a danceable, clap-along song that’s feelgood, fun, and child-friendly, yet carries a meaningful message inspired by the story of Hans im Glück. I am very grateful that she sang this song with me. Thank you so much, MiLu! 💜
I hope you enjoy this slightly different song from me, sung in German.
You can find the English translation of the lyrics below. 🎶



Es ist nicht alles Gold

Er ging mit Gold, doch ohne Lächeln,
der Weg war weit, der Schritt war schwer.
Was glänzt, blieb fremd in seinen Händen –
als ob da noch was andres wär.

Er tauschte Gold für etwas Ruhe,
für Schritte ohne Druck und Ziel.
Er nahm nur mit, was leicht geworden,
und ließ zurück, was ihm zu viel.

Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt,
nicht alles wahr, was du erkennst.
Was du verlierst, kann dich befreien,
der Weg wird leichter ohne Stein.

Kein Zögern, keine großen Fragen,
kein Rechnen, was ihm bleiben muss.
Er nahm das Leichte in den Tagen
und ließ das Schwere einfach los.

Er kam nach Haus mit leeren Händen,
doch niemand nahm, was er gewann.
Was andre suchten, ließ er liegen –
und ging mit leichtem Herzen dann.

Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt,
nicht alles wahr, was du erkennst.
Was du verlierst, kann dich befreien,
der Weg wird leichter ohne Stein.

Und du – was trägst du durch dein Leben?
Was hält dich fest, was macht dich klein?
Vielleicht ist Loslassen kein Fehlen,
vielleicht kann frei sein einfach sein.

Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt,
nicht alles wahr, was du erkennst.
Was du verlierst, kann dich befreien,
der Weg wird leichter ohne Stein.

Not Everything That Glitters Is Gold


He walked with gold but without a smile,
the road was long, his steps were slow.
What shone felt foreign in his hands –
as if there was something more to know.

He traded gold for a bit of peace,
for steps without a goal or strain.
He only kept what had grown lighter,
and left behind what brought him pain.

Not everything that glitters is gold,
not everything you see is true.
What you lose might set you free,
the road feels lighter without the stone you threw.

No hesitation, no great questions,
no counting what he had to keep.
He took the lightness of his days
and let the heavy things just sleep.

He came back home with empty hands,
but no one took what he had found.
What others sought, he left behind 
and walked with heart unbound.

Not everything that glitters is gold,
not everything you see is true.
What you lose might set you free,
the road feels lighter without the stone you threw.

And you – what do you carry through your life?
What holds you down, what makes you small?
Perhaps letting go is not a loss –
perhaps to be free is all.

Not everything that glitters is gold,
not everything you see is true.
What you lose might set you free,
the road feels lighter without the stone you threw.
