Another rocker with incredibly poignant lyrics. Can hear the feeling in the way you sing. Do you play your own drums to or programmed?

Mark I love the crunching licks on this, perfect for the story line and badass lyrics! Def one of my favorites

The great sound/guitar/voice. Beautiful realization :-)

[Verse]
A spark in the night no end in sight
The stars hum a song only silence can write
Floating on whispers a galaxy bends
The chaos it spins but the beauty ascends

[Prechorus]
Where shadows stretch and echo long
I find my place I feel the song

[Chorus]
I’m the light in the void the calm in the storm
The warmth in the cold where the universe forms
I’m the yin to the yang the pull to the push
The breath in the still the roar in the hush

[Verse 2]
The edges blur where time doesn’t go
A dance of opposites an endless flow
From fire to frost from lost to found
Each step is a circle the world spins around

[Bridge]
The dark needs the light and the light needs the shade
Without one the other would simply fade
Balance in motion the cosmos will sing
A tapestry woven with every string

[Chorus]
I’m the light in the void the calm in the storm
The warmth in the cold where the universe forms
I’m the yin to the yang the pull to the push
The breath in the still the roar in the hush

A Light in the Void

Break the Silence - Fuel the Tension

Face the Facts

Lyrique:
Try to run when you can't seem to hide
Try to talk when the cat's got your tongue

La  La La   La La La
Ahhh Can't catch me now
No you can't
You'll never catch me
1... 2.... come on count along....
3.... 4...... and 5
come on kids.. this is rockin 6 7 8 9 10

When you play
You play for keeps 
When you tag me
I've been tagged
When you play
You play for keeps
When you tag me
I've been tagged for good

Try to run when you can't seem to hide
Try to talk when the cat's got your tongue
Can't catch me now
Can't catch me now

When you play
You play for keeps
When you tag me
I've been tagged
When you play
You play for keeps
When you tag me
I've been tagged for good

Stay one step ahead .....

When You Tag Me

An enhanced version of "My Way" For MIDI Violins, Violas and a Harp

Delmonia

My Way (Enhanced version)

This Song was specifically written about Iraq; however, as time has gone by I changed my mind about the words. They can comply to ALL Wars. No disrespect to Volunteer and/or Conscripted "Drafted" Warriors. In the toughest of campaign goals, no matter how well planned, the thought, in a moment, for any human is that Wars are Hopeless. The Sacrifices, Permanently Injured to the Ultimate gift of Life is necessary when Wars are fought. I salute All Veterans. If we could Save our World through diplomacy and find Common Ground with All Humans on Earth, then Peace is Possible.  I'm a Dreamer - no Different than ... well, no name dropping. Peace and Love To All.

These Words Remind

Hopeless

Dedicated to those who fight the virus.You are not alone.We are not alone.

Kapernick has guts. He sacrificed his career for the greater cause.  And he is right.

Born Of Stars by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09.

The audio file for this song was plagued with hundreds, maybe thousands, of corrupted waves. These ranged in sound from a very big click at the small end of the scale, to something akin to trousers being ripped when bending over in a Carry On movie at the large end of the scale.

The audio file is now massively better than it was. A few blemishes and some sounds not unlike that of a scratchy old vinyl record still exist in places.

Repairing the damaged audio file for this song was an incredibly time-consuming and tedious task. It required massive amounts of the wave forms to be redrawn by hand in tiny, tiny detail.

The first time we attempted to repair it, the work was almost finished when the main hard drive on the mastering machine lost the will to live and mangled itself beyond all recognition. We had to buy a new one and completely reinstall the entire system.

All the repair work already done to Born of Stars was therefore utterly destroyed. It had to be done again from the start. Fortunately, as we are reasonably diligent with regard to backing up our work, no other files were lost.

This is why the Winter version of Born of Stars appeared two years after the rest of the album was released!

* Born of Stars is a highly rifftastic space rock song in the key of E.
* Several sections are deliberately left quite loose to allow for improvisation.
* The lyrics also tend to vary from one version to another.
* Born of Stars was performed by the Spacegoats, including in their brief “Electric Elves” manifestation.

Earth
Planet Earth
Planet Earth
Our planet
Terra Firma
Has made a conscious decision
A conscious, conscious decision
To become whole
To become one.

Entombed, cocooned
In concrete, metal,  plastic, tarmac
Effluence of all kinds
Chemicals, radiation and  nuclear waste

Yet she shall break free
She shall break free from this prison
Free from these chains

Planet Earth is undergoing
An evolutionary, interpersonal, galactical
REBIRTH!!!

We are born of stars
We are born of stars
We are born of stars
We are born of stars
