Dreamland Poem by Lewis Carroll

Poem Part 1:
When midnight mists are creeping, And all the land is sleeping, Around me tread the mighty dead, And slowly pass away. Lo, warriors, saints, and sages, From out the vanished ages, With solemn pace and reverend face Appear and pass away. The blaze of noonday splendour, The twilight soft and tender, May charm the eye: yet they shall die, Shall die and pass away.

VERSE 
Coloring the stars I find in nature 
Wonder for how long I’ve been bellow 
All these trees and everything around me 
Have survived the pain survived the war 

CHORUS 
I see everything so closely 
the time has passed and mostly 
erased all life we’ll find for long 
in the dreamland 

VERSE 
Coloring the stars I find in nature 
Wonder for how long I’ve been bellow 
All these trees and everything around me 
Have survived the pain survived the war 

CHORUS 
I see everything so closely 
the time has passed and mostly 
erased all life we’ll find for long 
in the dreamland 

BRIDGE 
The twilight soft and tender 
won’t be a good way to stop what’s coming now 
If you close your eyes in splendor 
I know you’ll find… 

Poem Part 2:
But here, in Dreamland's centre, No spoiler's hand may enter, These visions fair, this radiance rare, Shall never pass away. I see the shadows falling, The forms of old recalling; Around me tread the mighty dead, And slowly pass away.

VERSE 
Looking for the stars I’d find in nature 
Now I see I’ve been here for so long 
All these people always were around me 
We survided the pain survided the war 

Even though we don’t know how to stop the rain 
We do know how to use its growth 
Now I know that everything around me 
Will not last all the time 
there’s in this world 

OUTRO 
Just in the dreamland 
Will last for long 
In the dreamland

Dreamland

Dreamland (Featuring Alicia Orozco and Alan Tully)

Inside Outside Coming In

Long long time ago
It served me well to think of you so
My friend, what happened to you
From fox to wolf
Such a wide gulf

'I'll never leave you'
'We'll stay together'
We were to cross that bridge. no matter the weather
But the only thing that was cross
Was saying goodbye forever

Gentlemen, You're off kilter
I didn't do nothing
The silver-tongue devil framed me
Golden spoon in his hand
He gave me what I desired
Thought he was godsend
But then the twist of knife on my back
Brought me back on the bend

'I'll never leave you'
'We'll stay together'
We were to cross that bridge. no matter the weather
But the only thing that was cross
Was saying goodbye forever

Please don't take me
Think of the children

The fool is primed and ready
May his sins be forgiven

Plead your case, whatever it may be

'Cause Come the morn you'll find
That this was meant to be

Oh Lord, what to do
I'll now rot 'till the end
Please my Lord, give me a sign
Or bring about the end

The devil wins the battle, but surely not the war
I plead you, Oh my lord, open the door

'I'll never leave you'
'We'll stay together'
We were to cross that bridge. no matter the weather
But the only thing that was cross
Was saying goodbye forever

Tell me now
Tell Me Lord
Is it me
Or is it the lack of love?

I sit here and think
Am I worth enough?
Oh Lord
Am I worth your love?

Set me free, Oh

Show the devil your scorn
Break him till he's torn
Show him your scorn

The Only Thing That Was Cross (featuring Tomas Baptista)

Little Piggies

Little Piggie went to market one day
He's gonna get some bread is that what you say?
I can't help myself, I love you so much
Just want to feel that toe down touch

I can't help it that I love you this way
I love your piggies what more can I say?
I like the way you dress them up right
You got to shake 'em, shake 'em so tight

Little Piggie went to market one day
He's gonna get some bread is that what you say?
I can't help myself, I love you so much
Just want to feel that toe down touch

I can't help it that I love you this way
I love your piggies what more can I say?
I like the way you dress them up right
You got to shake 'em, shake 'em so tight

Little Piggie went to market one day
He's gonna get some bread is that what you say?
I can't help myself, I love you so much
Just want to feel that toe down touch

Little Piggie went to market one day
Little Piggie went to market one day
Little Piggie went to market one day
Little Piggie went to market one day

The Fallen One

Lost in the woods, fallen in a ditch far from the sun
He was crying, and squirming, and thinking he was
Definitely done
Slowly a shape stands out
From above she observes the lion
And impassive, she hints at a smile

Can you give me sanctuary? Desperate, the unlearn'd 
begs for life
Can't you see that you're a prisoner and unhappy
Without wonder why?
But you can go away, and find your own path unaided
The universe still has plans for you

Rather bewildered, the one sits in the mud and begins to
think
There must be a way for sure to go
Back up, and not sink

The woman goes away, among the leaves she disappears
While the evening shadows stretch to the east

Paragon looks up and screams
Waves his arms just like wings
With the strength of despair
He slowly hovers lightly in the air

Sanctuary

The Fallen One (featuring Lorenzo Vincenzo Nocerino)

The Mad Queen's Waltz - Joanna of Castile didn’t become known as “Juana La Loca” for her sound rule. Yet to what extent was this “mad” queen a victim of greed and betrayal? From rumors of her “undead” passion for her late beau to her iconic beef against nuns, the legend of this wickedly jealous ruler just won’t die.

Joanna's Waltz

I'm sure  I've been waiting for a long time and much more  
And the only thing I know 
Is that I can't more 

I can't go on doing nothing 
I can't keep hurting myself  
Cause life get better after all 
And like a slipstream I’ll be strong 
 oh oh 
I can be strong 

And i know that I can't giving up if in the end 
This is only for you 
Only for you

I know is hard keep 
But you can achieve 
 Everything if you believe
only in yourself
(Only in yourself) 

You got to be strong  
and keeping moving on Darling  
oh oh 
Keeping moving on Darling 

And i know that I can't giving up if in the end 
This is only for you 
Only for you

Be strong 
Go and on 
Like a bird 
I never fall 

Be strong 
Go and on 
Like a bird 
I never fall

Issuba Tvshka (We Will Rise)

This is a Tone Poem based on Rudyard Kipling's Poem "If". Awesome poem, something to live by.

If, by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
   But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
   Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
   And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
   If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
   And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
   Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
   And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
   And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
   And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
   To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
   Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
   Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
   If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—
   Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

If (featuring Alan Tully)

Would you let some friend of yours
Eat all the meat on the barbecue?

Drink up all the liquor in your fridge?
Then why are you letting all
these guys take all your clothes

And more
So much more
All your life

All the gain
All the pain
That you suffered too
The price is too high
But you're gonna pay
They're taking all your shoes
What you gonna say?

Would you let some friend of yours
Take your wife for a ride?
Then why are you letting all
these guys take all your shoes?

Would you let some friend of yours
Choose what you wanna be?
Then why are you letting all
these guys take all your shoes?

And more
So much more
All your life
All your future

All the gain
All the pain

Take My Shoes (featuring Alex Van True)

Words by C. Bound

Your eyes
Are haunting
Your heart
A quiet story
Your smile 
Never fading
Your soul
 Old yet still learning

The road is long
Many met along the way
We danced the days together
Until we have to go 
Away
Away

Sometimes
The memories of years
Never let go of the past

Your eyes
Haunt my memory
Your heart
Tells my story
Your smile
Never leaves my face
Your soul still dances with mine

Some say
Nothing lasts forever
Some Say 
Time heals all wounds
I say 
Hold on to forever
You say 
One world split in two

The road is long
Many met along the way
We danced the days together
Until we have to go 
Away
Away
Away 
Away

I love you
And I always will
I love you
And I always will
I love you
And I always will

Don't Call Me Crazy

Reimagining of Handel's Lascia Ch'io Pianga (let me weep) Aria

Lascia Ch'io Pianga

Lascia Ch'io Pianga (Let Me Weep)

Song Cycle I wrote in 1982/1983 while at music school, interesting mix of short songs, interconnected. Lyrics by Mr. David Bjelland

I - Autumn
The Streets are quiet
A cold chill gusts in the wind
Stars shine, there are no clouds
but leaves of all colors
fallen from the trees
scattered like rain on the ground
The air is brisk with the smell of burn'd leaves
warming a tired heart

II - In The Passage of Time
My sails are full
Onward I go
we must drift together
Think about each other
or soon we will be
a sad memory
In the passage
of Time

III - The Bird
Come little bird
sit upon my hand
Not long ago I did not realize
That your wings are not made of steel
Your breast not of stone
The grip from my hand
Was too great upon your 
Beautiful feathers

Now Little bird, my dear friend
I cannot change the harm
brought by my hand 
But, little bird
tomorrow is still ahead 
and now, I can change,
Leave my hand open
for you to spread your wings
and fly free
as you have always wanted
to be
to be

IV - A Part of Me Has Just Died
I hurt
I think someone has left me
Alone
A part of me
has 
just
died

Re-imagining of Purcell's Dido's Lament from the opera Dido and Aeneas.  Also have two Emily Dickinson Poems one at the beginning and one at the end. 

Poem 1 - 
Let down the Bars, Oh Death by Emily Dickinson (Read by Libby Gohn, Lbrivox)

Let down the bars, O Death!
The tired flocks come in
Whose bleating ceases to repeat,
Whose wandering is done.

Thine is the stillest night,
Thine the securest fold;
Too near thou art for seeking thee,
Too tender to be told.

Purcell - 

When I am laid
Am laid in Earth 
May my wrongs create no trouble
no trouble in thy breast

When I am laid
Am laid in Earth 
May my wrongs create no trouble
no trouble in thy breast

Remember Me
Remember Me
But Ah, forget my fate
Remember Me
But Ah, forget my fate
Remember Me
Remember Me
But Ah, forget my fate
Remember Me
But Ah, forget my fate

Poem 2 -
After great pain, a formal feeling comes by Emily Dickinson (Read by Libby Gohn, Lbrivox)

After great pain, a formal feeling comes –
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs –
The stiff Heart questions ‘was it He, that bore,’
And ‘Yesterday, or Centuries before’?

The Feet, mechanical, go round –
A Wooden way
Of Ground, or Air, or Ought –
Regardless grown,
A Quartz contentment, like a stone –

This is the Hour of Lead –
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow –
First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go –

Dido's Lament (Remember Me)

KodoDojo re-imagining of an old Scottish folksong

The Water is Wide (traditional)

The water is wide, I can't cross over
Neither have wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

There is a ship, she sails the sea
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
So did my love prove false to me

For love be handsome, and love be kind
Gay as a jewel when first it is new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

The water is wide, I can't cross over
Neither have wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row
my love and I

The Water Is Wide

A new version of an old number from my Gene Pool Zombie days, lyrics by Chris Bound, Saxophone by Marty Leibolt (miss you guys). 

Somethings Never Change

I know it's been a long time
how're you doing
what's been on your mind
a lot has changed
but your still on my mind

you're in my heart
no matter how it goes
youre' still on my mind
together but apart

so baby where you stand
you know your hearts still in my hand
i still love you 
even after all this time

times they change
some still stay the same
you know the heart still has a memory
the days they come and gone
we still carry on
though lives change on a dime
we can still make the time
I still love you
somethings never change

Somethings Never Change (again)

Take Me Home (words by Chris Bound)

Breakdown the walls of perception
Wake up and pay attention
What you seek isn't what you wanted
What you hear isn't what you're getting
Change your role or you'll end up forgetting 
What is was like to be unchained

Life's struggles are hard to handle
It's your choice how to burn the candle
To allow the breakdown
Will put you in the ground
Are you the fox or are you the hound
Will you stand up, be yourself
Will you give up 
or sit there on a shelf?

Echoes of light and shadows
Bounce through time and space
Leaving no trace for the rest of us to find
Louder than thunder in your soul
Silent and invisible, always the goal
Never letting go
Please take me home

Questing through curtains, drinking champagne
You come through the door, but must I remain
The game you've been playing
doesn't cut it anymore
Am I the one you adore or just a Kink in your chain
I tell you know, we both share the blame

Echoes of light and shadows
Bounce through time and space
Leaving no trace for the rest of us to find
Louder than thunder in your soul
Silent and invisible, always the goal
Never letting go
Please take me home

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

Take Me Home (Reprise)

Remake of West Side Story's Somewhere by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim (Borrowed some from Jon Seceda and Dave Grushin).

Somewhere (There's a place for us)

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet
Open Air
Wait for us, 
Somewhere

There's a time for us
Someday there'll time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn
Time to care

Someday
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Well find a new way of forgiving
Somewhere

There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday

There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday
Somewhere

Somewhere (There's a place for us)

Remake of Cat Steven's The Wind

I listen to the wind
to the wind of my soul

Where I end up, 
Well I think only God really knows

I sat upon a setting sun
but never, never, never
I never wanted water once
No Never never

I listen to my words
but they fall far below

I let my music take me
Where my heart wants to go

I swam upon the devil's lake
but never, never, never
I never make the same mistake
No Never never

I listen to the wind
to the wind of my soul

Where I end up, 
Well I think only God really knows

I sat upon a setting sun
but never, never, never
I never wanted water once
No Never never

I listen to my words
but they fall far below

I let my music take me
Where my heart wants to go

I swam upon the devil's lake
but never, never, never
I never make the same mistake
No Never never
Never
Never

The Wind

Remake of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now"

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Both Sides Now

Re-imagining of Hubert Parry's Jerusalem from 1916

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of God,
On Englands pleasent pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine fourth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasent land.

The Hill
There are many Paths to Roam
Through the Forest of Life
Every Tree Branches
Every way through strife

Despite Winter's Workings
Defying the Cold Kill
We drop our leaves and
renew our lives again

Like a Flying Comet
Shedding like a Snake
Each moment we look ahead
We see light years since past

Our knowledge of what has been
Wondrin' what's in store
Going Forward Not Looking back
The lesson repeats once more

Life Flies as we Know It
Despite drowning in Foam
However we try our best
Where ever we may roam

The Path is before you
The Choice you make is clear
Dont question where your path turns
The road to home is here

The Lessons We Live
Are Lessons We Earned
Rules mean Nothin it Ends the Same
There are many paths to Home

The Lessons We Live

Gumshoe
I lay awake at night
Thinkin bout the way we fuss and fight
Turnin my sleeplessness into the blues
I can’t pretend it’s Ok
I think I need to get a Gumshoe

I think about it from day to day
I can’t seem to make it go away
How do I stop it ringing in my ears
I take an aspirin or two, I even drink a little booze
I think I need to get a Gumshoe

We can’t even sit down and talk
You keep threatening me you’re gonna walk
How could I ever, How could I ever
Get my self in situation, 
Oh oh, boo hoo

I found myself an old gumshoe
He was even used and abused
Kind of rough around the edges
But smooth in the right places,
I think I found myself a Gumshoe

We can’t even sit down and talk
You keep threatening me you’re gonna walk
How could I ever, How could I ever
Get my self in situation, 
Oh oh, boo hoo

Gumshoe

Gumshoe (featuring Audrey Childress)

Fragile in the wind
a tender place within
the soul, it hurts to let go.
Heavy are the thoughts,
but all that has been taught, will lighten the load
just carry on, down this road

Let the light in now it is time to allow the water to clear
and wash away the fear Eyes seeing a new world a forest full of blue birds
Can you see through the door? Serve the healing

The warm light of love The calming ocean of waves that carry
You and I so gently

The warm light of love The calming ocean of waves that carry
You and I so gently

Rebuilding this house, this home Painting the colours of
the flowers we've grown
There's so much room for you here, my dear.
Will you come with me?
Let me show you all I know

The fire, the earth
The world, how it turns so slowly
I'll treasure the memories

The water, the air time yet to be shared
Let's watch as our world Rolls steady ahead

A promise, a life
your hand held in mine here in these moments my heart is full for you this season is ours Summer 
made of stars We will be falling forward forever

The warm light of love The calming ocean of waves that carry
You and I so gently

The warm light of love The calming ocean of waves that carry
You and I so gently

Let's walk let's dance
through the meadows of chance through summers and falls, we have all we need
Let's run, let's swim
the flow of the rivers are in our hearts
my dear

72 Come Back

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow (featuring Speedenza)

Oh the work was hard and the wages low.
Leave her Johnny, Leave her.
I guess its time for us to go
And its time for us to leave her.
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh leave her Johnny, leave her.
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her.
 
Oh I thought I heard the old man say,
Leave her Johnny, leave her.
Oh tomorrow you will get your pay
And it's time for us to leave her,
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh, leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her.
 
The winds blew foul and the seas ran high.
Leave her Johnny, leave her.
We shipped up green and none went by
And it's time for us to leave her,
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her.

<interlude>
Oh leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her.
Oh leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her.
 
Well I pray that we shall ne're more see
Leave her Johnny, leave her.
A hungry ship, the likes of she
And it's time for us to leave her,
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh leave her Johnny, leave her.
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her.

Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her.

Johnny, Leave Her (featuring Lorraina)

Hi All, Thank you for taking the time to listen to the muse's creations. I have spent many years composing, playing with various groups in the DC metropolitan area (also Florida). Here you will find my 4 studio albums (see my playlists) with Gene Pool Zombie (GPZ) and, after taking a multi-year break, my new solo work as KodoDojo. 

Many thanks and love to all who have helped me along the way. 
To 
the players, thanks for teaching me
the composers, thanks for guiding me
the dreamers, thanks for inspiring me 
and especially 
the listeners, thanks for connecting with me

I am indebted. Enjoy!

Always Yours, 
Stuart "Kodo" Ott
