This song is about political predation I started to see, beginning in the US, around 2000. It got far worse, in my estimation, around 2010. It's a song I had bouncing around in my cluttered mind for years, but never actually sat down and flushed out until 2010. Or so? I dunno. The final lines "don't place blind faith in black snake politicians" is an overt reference to fossil fuel corporations, their corrupt relationships with politicians in the US and abroad, and corporate capture of the US government. I got the idea from the indigenous legend "Prophesy of the black snake." Pipelines and oil trains, the visible signs as literal power is amassed and America literally divided. Americans, literally divided. Political power isn't as easy to see, but t's just as destructive. More so.

at any cost

they will prey upon your sympathy
they will tear our bands apart
and they will break your back, your will, your brain
so they can take whatever they can gain

they'll see you dead to keep in power
you're just opposition to devour
why are you loyal to the cowards?
sweet liberty turned bitter, sour

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

it doesn't matter much what happened here today
cause if it don't make the cover page...
they want you to forget the things they did and said
so they can do it all again another day

when blood is spilled for their desire
and they have all that they require
they'll tell you "freedom's cost" is higher
take honest words back from the liars

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

don't place blind faith in black snake politicians
they'll make you so afraid, can't even pay, pay attention

A song I wrote in 1992. It sat unused, until now. I thought it would be a good one for Cosmic Keanu’s amazing baritone. Hope you enjoy!

When Sparks Begin

It wasn’t planned, the sudden flare
A glance too long, electric air
The forest paused, the silence broke
As if the trees themselves awoke

No vows were made, no names were cried
But something ancient turned inside
A hand not touched, a breath not caught
And yet the world was set alight

Their words, once calm, began to burn
Each phrase a flame, each pause a turn
Not lust, not need, but something more
A door unlatched, a trembling floor

And in that spark, not loud, but true
The forest knew what they now knew
That love begins not with a kiss
But with the fire beneath the bliss

Toen vonken sprongen

Het was niet gepland, die plotselinge gloed,
Een blik te lang, geladen zoet
Het bos hield stil, de stilte brak
Alsof de bomen riepen: “wak”

Geen woorden groot, geen naam geroepen
Maar iets ouds begon te spoelen
Geen hand geraakt, geen zucht gehoord
Toch stond de wereld in akkoord

Hun zinnen, ooit zo kalm en rond
Werden vlammen, vonkend blond
Geen hunkering, geen driftig spel
Maar iets dat trilde, onuitspreekbaar fel

En in die vonk, niet luid, maar waar
Wist het woud wat zij verklaart
Liefde begint niet met een kus
Maar met het vuur dat stilte kust
