Second Ballad

Miraculously Foolish

Asteroid and the Absolutist (rework)

Stefan K - Rock Flexible (Official) shared an inspiring instrumental, asking if anyone would like to contribute some vocals. I found the piece to have an ominous atmosphere that builds into something more triumphant. This is my take on it which is a rather dark ecological wake up call (as if we should still need that!) with the invaluable help of Dick Vestdijk (Oorlab) with whom I’ve worked on ten other collaborations. A very special thank you to both Stefan and Dick. Thanks for listening.

Is it just me,
Or is it you?
How can we,
See this through?

Is it because,
We're at a loss?
We can find our way,
Out of this.

Time is short,
And can't be bought.
Who will make time,
While we're in decline?

Too late to be denied,
We can’t hold back the tide.
Nowhere left to hide,
Time's not on our side.

Who’ll count the cost 
Of the Earth’s loss?

Is it just me?
Or is it you?

Too late to be denied,
We can’t hold back the tide.

Nowhere left to hide,
Time's not on our side.

(Meet me in the afterglow)

Pecan Pie

I actually had the opportunity to visit the tomb of Lazarus when I was 10 years old. I was spellbound. The tour exited the tomb and left me down there by myself. Then the guide shut the lights out...left me alone in the dark...and loudly commanded "LAZARUS...COME FORTH ! "... Oh, Come get me, Lord.

Lazarus Come Forth

I See Fire (Ed Sheeran Cover By Gideon)

Fellow stranger
it's been a while
since you met me
eyes crossing aisles

Through the crowds
of limbs alone
flying elbows
bring better souls

Oh 
going nowhere fast
this time

Midnight mornings
stop for air
still cold calling
someone somewhere

Don't ask questions
Don't read minds
All our dreams
just killing time

Oh maybe there's a light 
going spare
Holding on too tight
I'm already there...

(hey now little hurricane harbouring high hopes
hey now little hurricane won't you come on home
hey now little hurricane harbouring high hopes).

Fellow stranger
it's been a while
since you left me
'cross the aisle
