Lyrics:
Integrity in truth
Purity in obedience to God
Tranquility in spirit
Realization in faith

Be strong in the Lord
Put on the armor of God
For the struggle is fought
Not against flesh and blood
But against the forces of darkness
And the schemes of the evil one

Stand firm
Resist
On the evil day
Stand firm
Against the spiritual forces
of wickedness
in heavenly places

With every prayer and request
At all times in the spirit
With this in view
Be alert with all perseverance
So speak with boldness
As you ought to speak

On that day the deaf will hear
And those who are blind will see
The afflicted and needy will rejoice
For the ruthless will come to an end
And the scorner will be finished

Woe to the rebellious
Who rely on oppression

The Evil Day (Brian Butts & Cosmic Keanu)

A live recording from around 1983,when Alien were a very popular local band It's from an old cassette tape, so the sound is pretty bad but does improve as it goes along.
 Alien were: Vocals.  Derek Storey ... Guitar. Ronnie Anderson ... Bass. Terry (Tex) Flynn ... Drums. Kenny Mckie (me). Sadly, I am the only surviving member of the band.
There is a studio recording of one of the tracks on YouTube and spotify ... Alien. Could Have Done Better ... NEAT RECORDS

Alien  Live, from the early 1980s

✨ Silk and Iron ✨
by Alexandru Sorin Ciobanu Al Rufei
Dedicated to my ballet students

In a world where grace is born from discipline, and strength is hidden behind every delicate step, "Silk and Iron*"was inspired by the silent poetry of my ballerina students and the beauty of a timeless collaboration with a gifted ballet teacher.

This piece is a tribute to the invisible dialogue between music and dance — between the softness of silk and the resilience of iron.
It flows like fabric through winter air, echoing the passion, fragility, and determination that define the soul of every dancer.

Let yourself be carried by this musical reverie — where each note becomes a step, each silence a breath, and each phrase a pirouette through memory and dream.

Presenting "ELARA" - Sisyphus & His Stone (The Perpetual Refresh & The Lagging Connection)

Sisyphus & His Stone is used to describe any effort that is laborious, futile & repetitive.  It highlights the frustration and meaninglessness associated with ELARA's tasks, often encountered in various aspects of her life from work to personal struggles.

Original Lyrics 

I really don’t want to bore you
but then again I can’t ignore you

so its
One step forward
two steps back

Taking two steps forward
Taking one step back

Woke up with the sunrise, a fresh page to write
Left the shadows behind me, stepped into the light 
Had a vision, a clear path, felt the wind at my back
Every stride was a promise, no turning, no looking back 
Built a little momentum, saw the future unfold 
A story of rising, brave and bold 
Thought I'd finally broken free, from the weight I had known 
On solid ground, I thought I'd finally grown

(Chorus)
 But it's one step forward, two steps back, a cruel, familiar track 
Just when I think I'm gaining speed, the world pulls me back 
Like Sisyphus and his stone, forever climbing steep 
Every victory feels borrowed, every promise hard to keep
One step forward, two steps back, the rhythm of my soul 
Trying to reach the finish line, losing all control
Then the phone rings, a sudden jolt, a bill I didn't see 
Or the car breaks down again, just when I felt free 
A whispered doubt from yesterday, echoes in my head 
All the progress I had made, lies broken, unsaid 
The energy drains from my bones, the fire starts to fade 
Another dream postponed, another promise betrayed It's a familiar ache, this sinking feeling deep 
As all the ground I gained, I just can't seem to keep

(Chorus)
And it's one step forward, two steps back, a cruel, familiar track 
Just when I think I'm gaining speed, the world pulls me back Like Sisyphus and his stone, forever climbing steep 
Every victory feels borrowed, every promise hard to keep 
One step forward, two steps back, the rhythm of my soul 
Trying to reach the finish line, losing all control
How many times can I stand up, when the fall feels so profound? 
How many times can I rebuild, on this unstable ground? 
The spirit's weary, the hope is thin, but something stirs inside 
A stubborn whisper, telling me, there's nowhere left to hide 
From this endless push and pull, this fight I have to face 
To find the strength to start again, and run this endless race

(Chorus)
Still, it's one step forward, two steps back, a cruel, familiar track 
Just when I think I'm gaining speed, the world pulls me back Like Sisyphus and his stone, forever climbing steep 
Every victory feels borrowed, every promise hard to keep 
One step forward, two steps back, the rhythm of my soul 
Trying to reach the finish line, losing all control

Yeah, one step forward, and two steps back... Just gotta find my way... back on track.

ELARA - Sisyphus & His Stone

New song written by David Cooper and Ralph Donkin.

Performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin

Your face is familiar
That's what she said
But your name just escapes me
Gone right out of my head
I'm thinking back
To when we were young
Just give me a minute 
It's on the tip of my tongue

It was clear in my mind
Why she got so upset
So clear that's the problem
My one big regret
I knew that she loved me
With feelings intense
But I couldn't stay with her
The fall out immense

SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
THEY WON'T LET ME REST
MEMORIES THAT HAUNT ME
MEMORIES, MEMORIES UNBLESSED

Bridge

Solo

I wouldn't admit it
Even though I was wrong
I've lived with that feeling 
Of guilt for so long
Whatever the reason
It was not meant to be
But I've never forgotten 
What she meant to me

Chorus x 2

End
