Missa Innominata

Postcommunio

When Three Or More Are Gathered. . .

A love song..

LYRICS:

All the time we spent apart
I never missed one beat
One beat of your heart
We fall in and out of favour
with the critics of our own design
The cruellest words were yours
Yours and mine
Yours and mine

And all the miles we drove to talk
I never though for a second we could have walked
On tripping over a shoelace
I realised I hadn't tied
it was brought to my attention
that I'd never really been outside
Let's go outside
Let's go outside

Because the night is young
and the light of the moon
will guide our frightened tongues
to loosen, but it's too soon
to tell our right from wrong
Hold me tight
The song is alive
No excuses
Cut me loose
It's not a nuisance
It's a first kiss

Outside

Home

Electric guitar is absent --- Bass and Acoustic lead the way .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wish you were the one that could
Bring up the sun, instead
You bring out the dark and soot
Am I good enough for you? Am I good enough for you?
Put on a front, I hide
What's killing me most inside
Oh, I stay to myself, "I'm fine"
Is what I'd say to you, am I good enough for you?

Say that you'll be mine
Well you lied, well you lied
I tend to stay aside
While you try to be some kind

You were the one that would
Bring up the sun, instead
You bring out the dark and soot
Am I good enough for you? Am I good enough for you?

Say that you'll be mine
Well you lied, well you lied
I tend to stay aside
While you try to be some kind

All done, it's out there
And everything inside is just alright
Far from complete here
That's okay, I'm still alive, I fight
I fight

You were the one that could
Bring up the sun, instead
Oh, I stay to myself, "I'm fine"
Is what I'd say to you, am I good enough for you?

Some Kind

lyrics-

i spend most nights wandering in my head
and losing sleep to the memories that i had
i need to learn to let go
i need to find a new home

my days are filled with dreams of places i'd rather be
where the sky is clear, and there's just the wind to hear

i need to learn to let go
i need to find a new home
where the sky is clear
and there's just the wind to hear

i knew i was old enough to love you
and that truth will haunt me everyday
i wasted all of my time with you
and that's life i mas as well erase

i knew i was old enough to love you
and that truth will haunt me everyday
i wasted all of my time with you
and that's life i mas as well erase

my life was so invested in you
and that fact will haunt me everyday
i wasted so much of my life with you
and that's life that'll never be replaced

Urge for tears

paypal.me/HaleenMusic


Escaped from the lands
Of fear and trembling
The body's image has gone
Awaits your maker
A savage place as holy and enchanted
I am crawling 'cause I'm no saint
Thoughts in twirl
Spinning in circles
Spinning in circles
Healing healing from the past
Healing healing from the past
A savage place as holy and enchanted
I am crawling 'cause I'm no saint
Thoughts in twirl
Spinning in circles
Spinning in circles
Healing healing from the past

Even today, modern politicians are educated by what's been dubbed a "manual of statecraft", penned by the so-called Father of Modern Political Philosophy and Political Science, the 16th century Venetian, Niccolò Machiavelli. 

In Machiavelli's book, The Prince, they are taught that no matter how evil the means that they employ are, to achieve victory, the ends will justify those means. Then as the victors, all they have to do is to rewrite the history, to present themselves as the good guys. 

I'm very grateful to Mark Combstead for providing such great rock music for this poem. You can find him here: https://soundcloud.com/markcombs-928282858

Words:

Last night, I dreamed of Machiavelli,
 Who, it seems, hasn’t learned much since the days of the Medici. 
 His pretext of seizing power for the ‘good of God’,
 Was straight out of the playbook of Cesar Borgia....
 So it seemed from my talk with poor, deluded Niccolo.
 
 Looking into my eyes and holding my hands
 He plied me with cunning plots and plans,
 Dripping in evil criminality, and base intent
 To create chaos for the existing world order
 No means was too foul, not even murder.
 
 The end will justify the means, my dear,
 Don’t worry your pretty head. 
 He said. 
 I wasn’t buying it, though, 
And so I said:	
 
 All around us in the world today that we see,
 Has been caused by those with such a strategy.
 The end doesn’t justify the means, at all.
 It is the means themselves which create the evil
 Of famine, pollution and perpetual war,
 Driven by madness, greed and holy preachings;
 This is the end created by your teachings. 
 We now have nation pitted against nation,
 Because the way, the means, IS the destination.

Machiavelli

It seems to me that many people these days make more effort to separate themselves from others than to compare themselves with others. Both are triggers for unhappiness, in my opinion, but it's something more than that.

This song has very few bass parts. Most parts use an 8-string guitar. This is the result of avoiding the competition between the bass and the area of existence. I did slaps, thumbs, tapping, and all sorts of other things. It took me a long time to finish the song because there were so many parts I had to practice and I had tendonitis....hahahaha

Feed the Beast

⚡️Watch Video⚡️

In my stone tower, high above the restless town,
My chamber's quiet, save for parchment laid down.
Only for the brew of blackest bean, I dare descend,
Then back to my sanctuary, where thoughts and shadows blend.

My words travel on invisible steeds so bold,
From this fortress aloof, to the hearths now cold.
A visage in a frame, confined by magic lore,
My counsel spread afar, from shore to distant shore.

I'm the hermit, let me be,
Silence here, thoughts roam free.
Speak not, don't disturb my think,
In solitude's depth, I link.

When the scrolls are rolled and the quill pens dry,
I muse on the silence that money can't buy.
Is this tower my haven, or is it my cage?
Only the echoes of ages will gauge.

Yet in this quiet, my soul's eye sees clear,
In the calm between messages, truth draws near.
The brew steams like a potion, calling me forth,
A hermit midst commerce, unmeasured in worth.

Let me be, let me think,
In this silence, on the brink.
Speak not, disturb not, let me be,
Solitude is where I'm free.

Hermit's heart, hermit's mind,
In my keep, peace I find.
Let me be, let me dream,
In quiet waters, thoughts stream.

Speak not, disturb not, let me be,
In solitude, I find the key.
Hermit's call, hermit's plea,
In this silence, let me be.

Let me be, let me think,
In this silence, on the brink.
Speak not, disturb not, let me be,
Solitude is where I'm free.

Hermit's heart, hermit's mind,
In my keep, peace I find.
Let me be, let me dream,
In quiet waters, thoughts stream.

Speak not, disturb not, let me be,
In solitude, I find the key.
Hermit's call, hermit's plea,
In this silence, let me be me.

"The Hermit" is a blend of genres, where the soulful depths of delta blues meet the ancient sounds of medieval instruments. This song tells the story of a solitary figure, isolated in a stone tower, finding peace and profound insights away from the bustling world below. The track explores themes of solitude, self-reflection, and the eternal search for truth. Each verse invites you to ponder the balance between isolation and inner peace, questioning whether solitude is a prison or a gateway to deeper understanding.

The Hermit (Introvert Song)

90's inspired Rock made in Metro Detroit.

Breaking all the lessons, from the ones that never try.
Gather up some sympathy, hanging on like suicide.
Now casting those of us who want to see.
A shadow of our former self, so what's it gonna be this time.

My mind is all tore up and finally broken.
Got some blame to spread around, ramping up to wind it down.
I saw the world explode with phony rage and truth unspoken.
No one made a single sound, we're ramping up to wind it down.

And it's safe to say I can't afford another day.
On the stage of common ground, beginning's end can not be found.
Who and what we'll never be, and all the things we can't receive.

My mind is all tore up and finally broken. 
Got some blame to spread around, ramping up to wind it down.
I saw the world explode with phony rage and truth unspoken.
No one made a single sound, we're ramping up to wind it down.

Giving up to wind it down.
