Lyrics:-
Once upon a time 
There was a grand magician
He would put on shows
To make the people gasp
In disbelief
All the Kings and Queens
Would ask him to their castles
They showered him with riches
And his popularity increased

Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale 
Be mindful of the trickery, the swindle
It's a smoke and mirrors plan
Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale
In pulling back the curtain
No surprise
There is an ordinary man

Now we have 
Celebrities and Politicians
Putting on an act
To entertain the folk
And keep them none the wise
All the kings and queens
Still ask them to their castles
Still shower them with riches
So they toe the party
Toe the party line

Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale 
Be mindful of the trickery, the swindle
It's a smoke and mirrors plan
Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale
In pulling back the curtain
No surprise
There is an ordinary man

===== Lyrics =====
The phone cord
The stereo
The television wires
Are twisting
And all I hear
Is your voice in my mind

Can I call you?
Can I call you?

All I know is
Tomorrow
Is forty years away
And I wonder
And wander
Through the land of time and faith

Could I want you?
Could I want you?

My head
And my heart
And my mouth
Have all run dry
And I wait for
Wait for
One droplet from the sky

Could I have you?

‘Cause with you I’m drinking saltwater
Never get enough
An ocean full
But I’m still hollow
Reaching for your cup
With you I’m drinking saltwater

A sinking doubt
Won’t wash out in the flood
A tidal wave
Can’t fill a broken cup
Could we decide
If this could be enough
A tidal wave
Can’t fill a broken cup

(Drinking saltwater
Saltwater)

‘Cause with you I’m drinking saltwater
Never get enough
An ocean full
But I’m still hollow
Reaching for your cup
With you I’m drinking saltwater
With you I’m drinking saltwater

(Drinking saltwater)

This is one of my very earliest songs from many decades ago. I decided to put it up here on Soundcloud.

In God’s Name (Brian Peters)

A village burns and leaves a scar on Mother Earth
The scented flames ascend beyond the fallen ruins
And helpless cries are stilled beneath the weight of senseless birth
A sacrifice is offered by the architects of doom

A figurehead is raised to cull the subjects’ praise
The attributes of God are transferred to his name
Unwarranted, his show of wrath and force belie his fears
His stature grows, but only death and pain support his claim

And so the game is played
No fears are allayed
And tearing down the idol
Can’t be but suicidal

Then suddenly a warning shout disturbs his rest
The spirits of the wronged are merged with forces of the right
A flash of light that brightens up the sky from east to west
He crumbles and descends into the world of endless night

And so his fate was sealed
His evil work revealed
Just memories remain
To inflict no further pain

In God's Name

They wake you up,then lay you down
The part in between
Is just waiting around

The TV plays the same old shows
Groundhog day
From beginning to close

When your time is over And your picture's on that door
They won't need locks to keep you there
In room 54

The window shows the world outside
A million miles away 
From your bedside

When your time is over And your picture's on that door
They won't need locks to keep you there
In room 54

Your life's been lived and your time is done
The last great battle
Just can't be won

When your time is over And your picture's on that door
They won't need locks to keep you there
In room 54

Chorus I’m on a mission—— so hold tight and feel the vibe  A new direction——- but still Going to keep it live  And if you’re itching —-to turn up the volume fine  Crank it and listen ——-cause I’m about to blow your mind

Verse1 No mistakes —-never hesitate  No glory—— no prize—— no lives at stake  I’m gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes  and it’s peace over war—— so I stay awake
—-🎵Watch every step I take ——plan every move I make  I was built for love—— and not the hate 🎵 I go hard ——-so why hesitate  this is the winning team ——time to elevate —-Got The mindset ——let’s negotiate  games Tight—-that’s right ——it’s Make or break  follow me into the light ——time to elevate another day another night —-nah—-it’s never too late  to create —-understand and fascinate  eat it up ——ask for more ——tasty—— scrape your plate  is gravy to me—— I’mer keep it straight  everything else ——is a piece of cake
Answer the calls—— from the voices inside of me  follow the signs ——-that lead to my destiny  it might take some time ——for all to see  Fluorescent writing on the wall—-like graffiti  infusing the track with—- positive energy  once of paper——— it’s vocal currency  skill level ——Stone Cold —-A—-prodigy ——- that’s my legacy——- building a dynasty

Chorus
Never walk the straight narrow —-choose the rules that I obey forgive and forget (ha—-)that might happen someday  don’t follow the crowd —-and needless to say  I try not to —-let my ego ——get in the way  I’m thankful although—-I don’t kneel and pray  And I’m truly blessed —-y’all know I’m set in my ways  but thank you Lord —-for another blessing today  in the meantime ——-please try to meet me halfway  please try to meet me halfway
