The End of the Last Ice Age

Cassiopeia's War Cry

To the Ocean

Lyrics:

King James and the unicorn
Had it all but you wanted more

The crowds would cheer
The streets all packed
People appear
Adore this great act
The grand parade
At noon everyday
The accolades
Like a loony charade 
All diamonds and gold
All the power he stole
To fill the deep hole
Gotta forfeit the soul

King James and the Unicorn
Had it all but you wanted more

Taken from his mother
At such a young age
Who’d ever blame him
For filling with rage?
At the sight of the joy
Of simplicity’s reign
Instead he’d wage war
On the peasants and lame

King James and the Unicorn 
Had it all but you wanted more

The muddy river
In armored feet
Though he’d quiver
He shan’t dare speak
The clouds rolled in 
The lightning shot
There stood the horned one
Calm as a rock
James’ wizarding axe
Took one great swing
All came together;
King and the lightning
Prophets are complete
He conquered the beast
hornless common white steed
You thief!

King James and the Unicorn 
Had it all but you wanted more

The hooves kicked hard
Right in the face
Knocked the king out cold
Then it galloped away
When James came to
His sight was lost
Magic horn gone too
An extinction
The cost

King James and the Unicorn

Imperfect World

This is song number 9 on my Spring project, "Bloom Where Your Ground Is." Listen to the full project in my playlist that is the same title as the project.

On Tired Feet, We Walk toward the Shadows

This song was written for and inspired by my students this year at Artesia High School in Lakewood, CA. I performed it for them on their last day of school! It is also song number 10 out of 13 I have written (and I am recording) this Spring for Bloom Where Your Ground Is!
