OPEN DOORS

You don’t have to look
You don’t have to hide
You don’t have to sneak
You just walk on through
More than a little bit
More than a little bit

Hold your head high
Hold, see them eye to eye
Hold, so easy to try
So easy to try
You’re gonna get by

Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors

Hold
Hold
Hold

You don’t have to shout
You don’t have to run
Be afraid
Just walk on through
Step through another
Step through another

Hold your heart high
Hold, don’t ask why
Hold, no need to be shy
You’re gonna get by

Hold
Hold
Hold

Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors

Walk on through
Walk on through
Walk on through
Walk on through
Walk on through
Walk on through

Open Doors

Ok(Not Ok)✝️🖤🎶

Im not ok!!
Im not ok!!

Look deep inside your heart
You know this to be true 
Things will never be the same
They were always meant to change
But not for me!!
I never felt that way!!
My arms are tied
Ive been left behind
And now Im not Ok!!
Im sorry I feel this way
No its not Ok!!

Im not Ok!!
Im not Ok!!

So take my life!!
Watch me die!!
I don't care no more!!
So take my life!!
Watch me die!!
I am not Ok!!
So take my life!!
Watch me die!!
I don't care no more!!
I waited my whole life for this!!
Just to watch it end?
So change my life!!
Watch me die!! Watch me die again!!
I waited my whole life for this!!
Just to watch it end?🖤

Turning Point

While we wait for BARDS: Of The Shimmering Seraphs to finish physical production, in the meantime we are forging ahead with a new crop of songs for the next album. The next album will serve as a continuation of the oracle deck concept, featuring songs about "objects" - the first of which be this little song about the magical horn of the elusive and beautiful Aardvark Girl. It is also about a recently discovered strange dwarf planet at the farthest reaches of our solar system.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà  was discovered on 19 Oct 2007 at the Palomar observatory in California, at 9:09 UT. Gkunhomdima is a member of the extended scattered disc and is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). Its orbit is inclined 23° off the ecliptic and is quite elliptical. It was knocked out of a normal orbit early in the history of the solar system, probably as Neptune migrated outward to its current position, which gives the high  inclination of Gkunhomdima’s orbit. However, there is no known orbital resonance with any other planetary body, except for its binary companion. Its ‘moon’, or secondary is called G!o’e !Hu (pronounced GOH ay KOO). Goeku means ‘horn’, or Oryx horn. And that takes us to a bit of mythology.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà is also the Beautiful Aardvark Girl of Juǀʼhoan mythology, who sometimes appears in the stories of other San peoples as a python girl or elephant girl; she defends her people and punishes wrongdoers using gǁámígǁàmì spines [devil’s thorn plant], a rain-cloud full of hail, and her magical oryx horn.

LYRICS:
-------------------------------
Aardvark girl, come trumpet your horn
Bellow your clarion call
Summon your dark and impenetrable cloud
And let your hailstones fall

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound

Scatter the poisoned thorns in their lane
May they tread upon those in their path
The stinging in their feet shall remind them
They’ll be dead before their next bath

Aardvark girl burrow down in your den
The night will be ending soon
The Oryx are gathered at the watering hole
And your face is in the moon

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound
We are just ants crawling around on the ground
We are just termites in a crumbling mound

The Oryx of the Aardvark Girl

It's All Because Of You ( Fox and Harris )

United network’s breaking out
So turn your ears and hear the shout 
Shadow governments sick regimes
Grind your bones for poxy beans 

Unknown names on pots of wealth
No fucks given for your health 
If you think this is our true path 
You must be having a fucking laugh

So hold tight to what you got 
We’re gonna find freedom with a struggle or not
Times are all a changing and the word spreading fast 
The futures looking better so let’s make this shit the past

Somewhere back in distant days 
Minds tuned into higher ways
Pyramids built with copper tools
And history books printed for fools 

Breathed clean air and loved the Earth
Knew what natures really worth 
Sacred knowledge few still know
Helped the spirit truly grow 

So hold tight  to what you got 
We’re gonna find freedom with a struggle or not
Times are all a changing and the word spreading fast 
The futures looking better so let’s make this shit the past

Where you going please decide 
Materialistic greedy ride 
Fill your bags with plastic shit 
And swim around the ego pit 

Spin that same old disc again 
Am dropping out so just say when 
Fear anger greed and pride 
Cast those fuckers all aside 

So hold tight  to what you got 
We’re gonna find freedom with a struggle or not
Times are all a changing and the word spreading fast 
The futures looking better so let’s make this shit the past

(Verse 1)
The battle cries out, a melody of steel
The air is thick with smoke, the scent of death you smell
A warrior's heart beats strong, a fire in his heart
He fights with fury, and for treasures to bring home

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where heroes never die
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

(Verse 2)
The battlefield is silent, the smoke begins to clear
The fallen lie in slumber, their spirits filled with joy
For they have earned their place, around the table in Odin's hall
Where warriors gather, and their stories will never die

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die


Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

LORRIDI

A Warrior’s Paradise

I am the fish that learned to walk
I am the monkey that can talk
A genius without a brain
A heart beat that feels no pain...

So won't you please, please remember
This night with me

Oh I hope, you can remember
This night, this night with me

I don't want to know what you know
I don't want to go where you go
I don't want to see what you see
I don't want to be what you be

So won't you please, please remember
This night with me

Oh I hope, you can remember
This night, this night with me

Beautiful girl, so far away
I wanna see you, everyday
I see your eyes, your face your lips
When I'm with you, time just slips
Away, away, away

So I hope I can remember
This night with you
Oh won't you please, let me remember
This night, this night with you

'As sunlight obscures the stars
By day
So too does wakefulness obscure the fact
You're still dreaming

As sunlight
Obscures the stars
By day
So too does wakefulness
Obscure the fact
You're still dreaming...'

(with thanks to Peter J Carroll who allowed us to use his words at the end of the song)

Be Still
(John Stone)

Vocals, Keyboards, Production: John Stone

Be still my beating heart  
Be sure  that from the start 
That you won’t ever break apart  
If you can only find the will 
To keep your feelings hid until 
I find the strength to walk away
And learn to love another day Be still be still
Be still my beating heart

To lose in Love may not be all they say 
And this  isn’t judgement day
An end is just a new beginning
Losing soon can feel like winning
Hold yourself together while you find a way


Life may be short or long
But through it all you can be strong  
No matter it takes from you
No matter what it is you’re  going through

Be still be still be still my beating Gm heart 
Be still be still be still my beating Gm heart
Be still be still be still my beating Gm heart

Be dry my crying eyes
Don’t-let-them-ever win that prize
But find the strength you have inside
No pity, only pride

Be still my beating heart
Be sure  that from the start
That you won’t ever break apart
Be still be still be still be still 
Be still my beating heart

Be Still

J'ENTENDS RIEN  (Lyrics)

Lyrics
Laying low the ghosts of old
Trails of dust and broken souls
There is no one left to lead the way

Crows fly overhead
Take back what you said
The web of lies is burning now
Idols falling down

Sacrifice a soul to Odin
Mix my blood with broken bones
There is no one left who wants to stay
I can always tell when your telling lies
Eyes betray you every time
Mistletoe and oak on judgement day

Be alone again
Be alone again
Be alone again

Every time you love it’s a sacrifice
Every choice you make is a shadow life
Placed on the altar of compromise

Every time you love it’s a sacrifice
Everywhere I look there is fading light
Distracted by what we’ve done
Will we even notice when winter comes

Be alone again
Be alone again
Be alone again

Odin

This is new take on a song that Rodolfo and I first worked on 4 years ago. He had always imagined it with fine saxophone and great backing harmonies and now that Continental Collision has a wonderful pool of talent to draw on, that has become a reality, thanks to Ce Mastro and Georg Boehme's beautiful contributions.
The song has been given so much more feeling and emotion.
Thanks to them and Rodolfo for believing that we could succeed  and thanks to all of you for listening.

A Stranger In Your Heart - Continental Collision featuring Ce Mastro & Georg Boehme

I don't know what I've done wrong?
I don't know why you have gone?
Though I hope some day,
When I whisper your name,
We'll be together.
But today's too soon.
When I think of you, I dream.
Yet still, I'm a stranger,
Yet still, I'm a stranger in your heart.

Sometimes I feel like a fool.
Never knowing whether you'll,
Give me hope some day,
Still I call your name.
We'll be together.
Is today too soon?
When I think of you, I dream.
No longer a stranger,
No longer a stranger in your heart.

A Stranger In Your Heart - Continental Collision (featuring Ce Mastro and Georg Boehme)

With the advent of our democratically chosen fascist plague looming I'm going to reprise this one which is basically about -- wait a minute I don't do  "it's about's"  --  it's about whatever you think it's about.  I feel it now more than four years ago when I wrote it.

Do you see the same things I do 
in morbid visions of the night
I'll confess I'm in need of some discipline
a circumcision of the mind

a single moment's indecision can mean the difference of a life
wait for the signs of antipathy
I'll be coming right behind

is it time to take our things and go running for the line
there's nothing here that's worthy of the sacrifice
why keep me waiting in the dark
as if you and I were born to all this suffering in our stars

Jacob wrestled in the desert
with an angel who would not give his name
does faith only come to me in my anguish and shame

witness to your own decline
you just lie and tell yourself it's alright

Late to the Show

You came in from the pouring rain
And stepped into the light...
Worn and frayed
That stormy night...

You slipped up to the microphone
Held with all your might
Quarter past ten
That Tuesday night....

The kit it fell silent
The bass man he froze 
Echos through the rafters
Straight to the soul...

The silence was so deafening
Until you let it go...
Rich and arresting
How could they know...

The teardrops rolled like thunder
From your eyes into theirs
Rivers of emotion 
For all to hear...

The kit it fell silent
The bass man he froze 
Echos through the rafters
Straight to the soul...
