Thats really what I needed today. With love, Eden Project

I love this song more every time I listen to it, Jeff man. it reminds me of puffing grass in Australia and listening to the lizards as the prowled the walls looking for insects to eat. so glad you made this and shared it with us all!

Hug the Cynic: 25 Splendid new songs from the SoundCloud community

There's Lizzards on the walls in my hotel, it's hot as hell and it don't smell like my home town.
There's strangers in the halls, and the Punjab calls
while children laugh out loud without regard or regret

Ensconced in cotton course and white
the Charpois wait for another night
and the jet is on the runway, waiting for the northern flight
and Kashmir waits with open arms and mountains bright.

There's Lizzards on the walls of my hotel
Theres loaded Tongas on the teeming street that's lined with open stalls of spice and fruit and brass and salt and hanging meat.

There's Lizzards on the walls
Marigolds strung on strings wrapped around all kind of things.
Beggers on the street with broken arms and legs and feet, still smiling as they reach through diesel fumes and swarms of flys and eyes that stare longingly for some relief.

The Privileged life it dawns on me i didn't see till then and there
where a thousand stare in disbelief 
Humbled like a thief before the judge.

There's Lizzards on the Walls(a distant memory)

An Easter message? Music against war?All wars are wrought with inhuman threads of unwarranted violence and destruction whether in Libya, Yemen, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Congo or... (place any name of any war at any time in history).
In this one, a special military pox upon Putin and his house and all those who abuse and terrorize innocents and rain destruction upon all those who simply want to live and to exist. Justice? Where? ICC - we hope you're leading the charge for justice, and NATO, EU, UN - don't look away!

 (Don't)Look Away

1)Another day, another day in this war. 
A family man asks - What’s it all for?
Have we forgotten what we came here for? Don’t run away.   

To kill a man, a woman or a child. 
There’s something wrong, wrong in their minds.   
They look to God, but he does what He does best. He looks away. Hey?   

There’s always war in a far distant land
and civilised man goes out to lend a hand.
Holy Lands? Are you having a laugh? 
Laugh away, hey…  laugh away….hey…

(CHORUS)
I CAN SEE THEM ALL - LAGGING BEHIND. 
THEY’RE NOT PART OF THIS - HUMAN KIND
THINGS GOT SLOW, SLOW IN THE HEAD. 
WHY DON’T YOU GO SHOOT YOURSELF INSTEAD?
WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…YAAH

2) Armies are led by those who think they’re right. 
Tell us they want peace.    
To get it they must fight for… the love of God pray how is this right? 
Pray away. 
They say destruction is their means to an end. 
Aim their gun at what once was their friend.
Turn their back on humanitarian trends. Then look away, 
hey… they look away…

(CHORUS)     

(MID BREAK)   
Lay down on your pillow…sleep tight with your greed 
because your safe… you’ll dream… while others bleed…
and you tell me…that God is on your side…you don’t believe it…
and that’s what I despise….
then you look away…
nd then you look away…

3) They shake a fist with a gun in their hand. 
It’s an action only they understand. 
One step away… from a hellish end. 
Shake away… shake - away…  

If there’s a place I could send them all. 
Be deep space, on a hot fiery ball  
Where you can all…Happily annihilate yourselves!                                                                        Then fire away…fire away, fire away…hey…

(CHORUS)

4) One more day is too much in this war. 
The family man asks - What’s it all been for? 
His loved one’s buried with his heart in the floor. 
Please look away…

This is the first track of the upcoming Heartscore-album, which will hopefully be released at the end of 2022. The song is about an American female serial-killer called Jane Toppan or "Jolly Jane", who killed around 30 persons during her work as a nurse. She was fascinated by the moment of death, so the legend says, that she hugged her victims right before they died and looked into their eyes. 
Musically I follow the route, which I have set with "Medusa's head": Simple, but powerful Metal-songs in the tradition of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Manowar. I plan to be even more consistent on the upcoming album. Therefore I will try to avoid all sidesteps towards ballads, prog rock and other styles for wimps :-) Expect only face-melting, true Metal!
lyrics
The final hug

Hear my name is Jolly Jane
And I was born into the madness
My father "Kelley the crack" was known
To sew his eyelids closed in sadness
My mother died so fast
My childhood would not last

My father put me in an asylum
My sister went to be a bitch
Ann C. Toppan finally took me home
She did not know I was a witch

Chorus:
Slide to the other side
It will be your last ride
I will share my love with you
Are you still alive, dear
Can you feel me so near?
The time is now to give a
FInal hug to you

When I worked so hard in hospitals
My curiosity arose
What would happen, if I ram a shot
Of Morphine right into your nose?

Chorus:
Slide to the other side
It will be your last ride
I will share my love with you
Are you still alive, dear
Can you feel me so near?
The time is now to give a
FInal hug to you

Trained with poison, merciless
I know how I will get my will
I drug you first and before the kiss
Comes Strychnine, which will slowly kill
I look into your eyes
While you will miserable die!

Thirtyone I killed with so much joy
I touched them alive, I touched them dead
Don't believe, that I am just insane
It's me, your trusty Jolly Jane!

Chorus:
Slide to the other side
It will be your last ride
I will share my love with you
Are you still alive, dear
Can you feel me so near?
The time is now to give a
FInal hug to you

The Final Hug

Underground Maze

Hello partner, your ride is here.
Just slide the empties off the seat and climb in.
Don’t sit on that spring, it’ll cut you.
No, the seatbelt’s broken, wipers, too.

Where’d you say you were going?
This car doesn’t go that way.
This is a ride to the Last Star.
Don’t hold on too tight, you’ll get yourself hurt.
Trust me, you are going to a better place.

You again. You sure?
OK, I’ll take you home.
Crack the window, it’ll help some.
And there’s a paper bag in the back somewhere.
Use it if you have to.

LYRICS
-------------

Adrift In a world that you can't comprehend
As you shuffle down sidewalks you used to defend
And pick through the garbage from parties you no longer attend

You know you're a stranger in still stranger lands
Where the crumbling monuments once used to stand
And they look at you funny when you ask them where to find an honest man

When you're gone, long, long gone

When they try to dismiss you, you piss on their shoes
As they fondle their falsehoods and call them the truth
If only the hunger in our bellies were so easily soothed

But you are not like them and you don't even try
No matter how rotten, you can't make them cry
You're as real as their shadows but they'll never understand why

Until you're gone, long, long gone

So you eat in the market and sleep in a hole
You drink from your hands now instead of a bowl
Stand naked before them to show how the years take their toll

And when the wild dogs come to nip at your legs
And the passing onlookers who expect you to beg
But your life was a promise and it's far too late now to renege

And then you're gone, long, long gone

lyrics:

cut through the noise
away with distractions
digital clutter
sideways impairment
of thought and inner vision
no changes were made
to consent that wasn't given
as it wouldn't feel great

a culture of bias
laidback and sullen
to sometimes relax
all of a sudden

no thoughts are given
to continued relapse
till back in the spiral
of stellar collapse
