"A Nation at the Crossroads, A Battle for Its Soul"
The world is shifting, and the line between democracy and authoritarian rule is razor-thin. The Strongman’s Shadow is a fearless, raw album that calls out the betrayal of America’s core principles. This collection of anthems rips apart the lies, exposing the dark deals, the abandonment of allies, and the slow, methodical rise of a new world order where power is traded for silence. 

"Trump isn’t just siding with dictators—he’s actively reshaping America to mirror them." – Steve Schmidt 

"This isn’t about red or blue. This is about standing up when it matters most." – Barking Justice Music

This is the sound of defiance, of voices rising when the halls of power fall silent. Will we fight? Or will we kneel?

The Strongman’s Shadow

Wailing In The Abyss

Eternal Void

Verse 1:



I've never been a saint.

Keep doing what I can’t.

Lived a life real large.

And always been in charge.



Verse 2:



I charted my own way.

And thinking mostly about me.

I've decided how to play.

And glad to be free.



Pre Chorus:



Until the day I met her.

My life was so a stir.

I couldn't shake this feeling.

One day I'd marry her.



Chorus:



She baptized me with fire.

No one else's like her.

Got it all going on.

I'm now her loving pon.



She baptized me with fire.

No one else's like her.

Got it all going on.

I'm now her loving pon.



Verse 3:



We met on a Sunday.

And was hooked by Monday.

I ignored every red flag.

Gave her everything I had.



Verse 4:



Spent every day with her

Time passed in a blur.

But eventually she bored.

And walked out the door.



Pre Chorus:



Until the day I met her.

My life was so a stir.

I couldn't shake this feeling.

That marriage would never occur.



Chorus:



She baptized me with fire.

No one else's like her.

Got it all going on.

I was her loving pon.



She baptized me with fire.

No one else's like her.

Got it all going on.

I was her loving pon.



Bridge:



I never meant to hurt.

Not myself or even her.

But still feel the pain.

Her memory will always remain.



Pre Chorus:



Until the day I met her.

My life was so a stir.

I couldn't shake this feeling.

That marriage would never occur.



Chorus:



She baptized me with fire.

No one else's like her.

Got it all going on.

I was her loving pon.



She baptized me with fire.

No one else's like her.

Got it all going on.

I was her loving pon.



Outro:



She really never said goodbye.

Nor gave a reason why.

She packed up and left.

Said she found another friend.



Now I sit by myself.

Our love on a shelf.

Unsure how to go on.

I sit here all alone.



She baptized me with fire.

No one else's like her.

Got it all going on.

I was her loving pon.



She baptized me with fire.

No one else's like her.

Got it all going on.

I was her loving pon.

Baptized me with fire

She Gotta Go

[Verse]
She gotta go
Somebody told her that her rent too low
She tried to argue but the lawyer said no
You gotta go

[Verse 2]
And when you go
Take all the pigeons and the broken windows
A couple poor people for the tourists back home
And when you go

[Chorus]
It’s like she said
They get you coming and they get you in the end
But there’s a hundred other places to rent
It’s just a building with a number on it

[Verse 3]
She’ll be okay
She got a job a couple miles away
And when she’s leaving and they’re blocking her way
She’ll say

[Verse 4]
I gotta go
So you can go to Whole Foods when you visit the coast
And your white sneakers stay so fresh and so clean
I’ll have to go
I’ll have to go

[Bridge]
And they’ll be sad
They’ll call a meeting and say we’re sorry about that
But what’s the point of selling if you can’t get it back
In a hundred years you’ll all be where I’m at

Fractured Grace is a dark, cinematic rock album built around themes of loss, resilience, and transformation. Each track — from the haunting Broken Wings to the powerful Shattered Chains — tells part of a larger story about surviving ruin and finding meaning in the aftermath.

This project blends ambient textures, heavy emotion, and poetic lyrics into a soundscape that’s both raw and ethereal. It’s not just music — it’s a journey through shadows and light.

Genres: Alternative Rock • Ambient Metal • Post-Grunge
For listeners who crave honesty, mood, and depth.

YEARS STILL GOING

What kind of country do you want to live in – one where the first thought of politicians is money, or one where the first thought is public welfare? What’s it to be – welfare or wealth?
Here’s the lyric:

Welfare or Wealth

VERSE 1
Law makers, lawmakers – one thing I ask,
what is the first thought that jump-starts your task?
What is the base-line which sparks all you do -
the welfare of all - or the wealth of a few?
CHORUS
There’s a hidden bottom line.
that moves with silent stealth.
It’s a flickering neon sign,
That’s asking: 
‘All or some; welfare or wealth?’
 
VERSE 2
When everything’s been said; when all is done,
what kick-start stands beside you in square one?
What sets the flame beneath the fire for you –
the welfare of all - or the wealth of a few?
CHORUS
There’s a hidden bottom line.
that moves with silent stealth.
It’s a flickering neon sign,
That’s asking: 
‘All or some; welfare or wealth?’

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 3
Law makers, lawmakers – one thing I ask,
what is the first thought that jump-starts your task?
What is the base-line which fuels all you do -
the welfare of all - or the wealth of a few?

What is the base-line which fuels all you do -
the welfare of all - or the wealth of a few?

about this song.

Welfare or Wealth

Welfare or Wealth?

I have written several pieces of poetry over the years linked to doomed relationships, which have filled 8 books I’ve had published. There are also included memories of times spent in military service during conflicts and wars. I thought I might add music to some of them. Here are my meagre attempts.
