01 Prince Of Darkness

Hammer Time

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In the shadows, where the untouchables hide,
We move like ghosts, with purpose our guide.
Gardeners on branches, closest to the core,
Their power starts to crumble, till it cannot be ignored.

[Verse 2]
Glyphs painted in moonlight, are signatures our traits,
Leaving trails of whispers, they know their altered fate.
No escape from the shadows, where the gardeners tread,
Holding fear like a hot coal, that keeps them wide awake in bed!!
(Wide awake in bed!)

[Chorus]
We’re the silent hunters, striking out of sight,
With every careful move, setting wrongs into rights.
Leaving signs they can't dismiss, to show they have no claim,
Counting down to chaos, in the shadows of their game.
(They have no claim!)
(Out of sight, Nerves are Tight with shadows bathing in the light.)

[Verse 3]
In silence, They hear ticking of destiny’s call,
Weaving through their defenses, while they hunt shadows on the wall.
Our currents shift of presence, weaving chaos in the air,
With every mark, and whisper, we might be any! anywhere!
(Weaving Chaos in the air!)

[Verse 4]
Holding tight to secrets, they know there's no escape,
The weight of truth around them, bending reality's shape.
Our calculated silence, pushes them closer to their end,
Guiding them to the inevitable, where truth and fate blend.

[Bridge]
Ticking clocks of fate, counting down the score,
For the gardeners of shadows, are tapping at the door.
Holding close the knowledge, there is, no place to hide,
They feel the gravity shifting, stepping through the shadows inside.
(There's no place to hide!)

[Chorus]
We’re the silent hunters, striking out of sight,
With every careful move, setting wrongs into rights.
Leaving signs they can't dismiss, to show they have no claim,
Counting down to chaos, in the shadows of their game.

(They have no claim!)
(Out of sight, Nerves are Tight with shadows bathing in the light.)
(shadows bathing in the light.)
(shadows bathing in the light!)

HALO Fallen Angels (Gardeners)

Lyrics:
I got your back... That's all That Matters.

[Verse 1] 
Every day there's something new, to rile and ignite, 
From who's allowed to be proud, to every endless fight. 
Racism seems to be rising, kids with guns in hand, 
Terrified, confused, in a world that’s hard to understand. 

[Chorus 1] 
Weeellllll!! either it matters and I don't care! or I care, but it don't matter! 
Let’s pull out some old recipes and fire up the grill chatter. 
Let’s hunt a little, fish a little, drink a case of brews, 
Laugh about the old days, and bid the blues adieu. 
And when the night is over, and we’re through with all the clatter, 
Just remember at the end of the day, I got your back. 
(That's all That Matters) 
(That's all That Matters!) 

[Verse 2] 
Gas prices tumble while tariffs leave a mark, 
Groceries cost a fortune, except at John’s old farm. 
The world's spinning crazy, everyone’s got complaints, 
But at the end of the day, we can lean on simple saints. 
(Like John!)

[Verse 3] 
We’re drowning in opinions, but the truth gets lost in noise, 
People shouting louder, but failing to find their voice. 
They see the world in fragments, living behind their walls, 
But out here at the B.B.Q., we can rise above it all!

[Chorus 2] 
Weeellllll!! either it matters and I don't care! or I care, but it don't matter! 
Let’s gather for a potluck and watch our worries scatter. 
Strum those old six-strings, ignore the TV news, 
Share stories by the firelight, and chase away the blues. 
Through every storm and trial, no need for fancy chatter, 
Just remember at the end of the day, I got your back. 
(That's all That Matters) 
(That's all That Matters!) 

[Verse 4] 
Let's take a stand together, in a world that’s all amiss, 
Value friends and family, and moments of sheer bliss. 
The headlines can keep turning, distractions they may woo, 
But the things that truly matter are those right in front of you. 

[Verse 5] 
So let’s gather ‘round the fire, share the stories that we’ve known, 
Of battles fought and lessons learned, and how we all have grown. 
In the warmth of connection, we’ll find the strength to stand, 
Together we are stronger, united hand in hand. 

[Chorus 3] 
Weeellllll!! either it matters and I don't care! or I care, but it don't matter! 
Let’s toast to good old times, as we watch the firelight scatter. 
Let's live for the here and now, find comfort in each other, 
Spend our days in laughter, lifting one another. 
At the end of every journey, no need for idle chatter, 
Just remember at the end of the day, I got your back. 
(That's all That Matters) 
(That's all That Matters!) 

I got your back... That's all That Matters.

I got your back... That's all That Matters. (Remastered)

[Verse 1] 
In quiet shadows I reside, the echoes of a soldiers past, 
I drift like smoke through corridors, friendships not allowed to last. 
The ties that bind are fragile strands, are pulling at the seams, 
When my heartstrings play their tune, Marks the time to leave this dream. 

[Chorus 1] 
I’m the fleeting silhouette at dawn, the whisper in the wind, 
A phantom of forgotten ties, where true connections end. 
The memories we could've fashioned, I'll cherish deep inside, 
But I'm bound to the horizon, where hidden shadows hide. 
....
(No feelings aloud inside!!) 
(No feelings aloud inside!!) 

[Verse 2] 
I've been trained to be a ghost, to vanish without a trace, 
To keep the distance, guard the heart, in this empty space. 
Yet in the silence, longing grows, like embers in the night, 
Afraid the fire's way to big, exposing this hidden fight. 

[Bridge] 
The past is a landscape, a pattern woven tight, 
Every thread where memories lay, I left into the night. 
Don't think I meant to hurt you, my feelings went a stray, 
My leaving keeps you safe, in ways I'm not allow to say. 

[Chorus 2] 
I’m the fleeting silhouette at dawn, the whisper in the wind, 
A phantom of forgotten ties, where true connections end. 
The melodies we danced to, are echos in the stream, 
Yet I’m the shadow in the story, left untold in every dream. 
....
(99 percent nothing happens, but that 1 percent's extreme!) 

[Verse 3] 
The heartache buried deep inside, the ghosts of hope and fear, 
I slip into the void of mist, where regret is always near. 
In the night I fade away, before the dawn reveals, 
The truth behind these haunted eyes, and the scars no one heals. 

[Outro] 
I leave with unspoken words, the whispers of my soul, 
A hero in the distance, my life stole and never whole. 
In dreams I walk beside you, my friend, my silent plea, 
For in the tale of the shadows, it’s safer without me. 

[Chorus 3] 
I’m the fleeting silhouette at dawn, the whisper in the wind, 
A phantom of forgotten ties, where true connections end. 
Our chapters left unspoken, time washed them from the shore, 
And when you find the sunlight, you’ll live forevermore.  
....
(I know no one can see, how they're safer without me) 

(Goodbye My Friend, It's safer without me) 

It's Safer Without Me

This track was created purely by accident, inspired by a vibe I was feeling. While working with my drum machine, I was editing and slicing up my own samples when I inadvertently chopped up and rearranged a powerful bass line. I was also manipulating and recording some synth sounds, looping them, and managed to create a nice mix. I recorded a one-minute video jamming to it and became instantly hooked. Not wanting to lose the vibe, I quickly opened Logic and started recording directly to the master track. 

I listened to the recording the next morning and still liked it, so now I’m excited to share it with you. I'm new to sampling and don’t usually create drum and bass or break beats, but I tried to stay true to the genre while keeping the song ever-evolving for the listener. While bouncing this jam, I had a vivid memory unlocked in my mind from my younger days. A friend and I were driving home on a cold night after a jazz basketball game. A thick fog blanketed the valley, creating an eerie yet beautiful atmosphere. We could barely see on the freeway as the fog enveloped the lampposts, making everything look hyper-futuristic. In the other lane, we could see sirens flashing by. We were in awe of the scene and talked about it while making it home safely. This song captures that vibe perfectly.

Sirens in the Fog

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In the quiet of my dungeon, shadows wrap me tight,
A sanctuary from the smiles that I wear in the light.
I’m the jester in the daytime, laughter hides the void,
Just a role I play so well, in this grand charade deployed. 

[Chorus 1]
I want to feel the warmth, the love that others see,
To genuinely embrace the joy of friends and family.
But here I stand, between the worlds of light and grey,
Wishing to be the person I pretend to be each day.
(between the worlds of light and grey)

[Verse 2]
I feel this earth’s abandoned, maybe God withdrew,
Leaving us to wander skies without the clearest view.
I’m detached from fear and doubt, numb to what remains,
As if the universe reflects the absence of refrains.

[Bridge]
Though I’m tired of this journey, glimpses of the end,
I’ll hold on to existence, until the curtain bends.
The contradictions bind me, like threads within my mind,
Waiting for the final act, the truth that I must find.

[Chorus 2]
I want to care deeply, to love where love resides,
To conquer this divide with every wave it rides.
Yet in my heart, a silence, the echoes ring so hollow,
Wishing to join the dance of life, though shadows often follow.

[Verse 3]
I smile and nod convincingly, a people person song,
Finding solace in disguise, where I feel I don’t belong.
But despite the disconnect, there’s a fighter in my soul,
Holding on for the finale, when life unveils its scroll.

[Outro]
In the labyrinth of contradictions, I pretend to toe the line,
Always seeking answers hiding in the strings of time.
Though the numbness wraps around me, I long to see it end,
With the hope that in this journey, I’ll discover how to mend.

[Chorus 3]
I want to feel the sunshine, to bask in its embrace,
To join the dance of living, to find my rightful place.
I’ll fight to stay alive, witness the world’s last theme,
For even in my darkness, I still hold on to a dream.

[Chorus 1]
I want to feel the warmth, the love that others see,
To genuinely embrace the joy of friends and family.
But here I stand, between the worlds of light and grey,
Wishing to be the person I pretend to be each day.
(between the worlds of light and grey)
(between the worlds of light and grey)

Between The Worlds of Light and Grey

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In the gentle sway of morning light, whispers soft and warm,
Everything is falling into place, a refuge from the storm.
But beneath the painted surface, shadows start to creep,
Silent whispers in the distance, threaten our fragile peace.

(Shadows start to creep)
(Cre Cree creeeeep!)
(Shadows start to creep)

[Chorus 1]
It’s the calm before the storm, hope flickers like a flame,
Moments of fleeting beauty, before the world’s untamed.
Feel the chaos closing in, we fight to stand our ground,
Lost in the tempest’s fury, where the silence drowned.
I hold on to the memory, of the calm’s gentle embrace,
Praying for a moment’s peace, in this relentless chase.

(A Calm Before the Storm)

[Verse 2]
The sky begins to darken, thunder rumbles far and near,
The rising winds of chaos, echoes our deepest fears.
Every time the storms arrive, tears at our weary souls,
Dragging dreams into the vortex, while hell's claw unfolds.

[Bridge]
In the battlefield of heart and mind, we wrestle with our fate,
Caught between surrender, and the will to recreate.
Like a dance with shadows, the cycle spins its chords,
Life’s a game of survival, but it's taken all our swords.

[Chorus 2]
It’s the calm before the storm, where beauty hides within,
A fleeting glimpse of something more, before the darkness spins.
The storm’s a vicious enemy, feeding on our fright,
Tarnishing the threads of hope, with every passing night.
Yet we cling to those moments, where peace was once restored,
Praying for the strength to weather, the chaos' mighty roar.

[Verse 3]
In the eye of the tempest, we search for threads of grace,
Those ephemeral moments, we long to embrace.
When the storm has passed, of truths we all ignored,
We rise from the ashes, so broken we look bored.

[Outro]
So here we stand, in aftermath, amidst the fallen leaves,
With the scars of battles fought, and victories we make believe.
For every storm that rolls in, every shadow takes a form,
There’s a new dawn awaiting, another calm before the storm.

[Chorus 3]
In the calm before the storm, our hearts ignore the signs,
fleeting whispers of hope, before the stars align.
All pray for solace, among the wild waves,
In those peaks of quiet, life’s truest beauty stays.
Storms will come and go, and the winds scream high and low,
We hold fast to a calm, and pretend it helps us grow.
(pretend it helps us grow!)

(In the gentle sway of morning light, whispers soft and warm,
Everything seems to be falling into place, a refuge from the storm...)

(A Calm Before the Storm)

A Calm Before the Storm

Spiritual but NOT Religious!

I am something else and no one will ever know.  But I do hope my words inspire you to awaken to new understandings of purpose.

I will try to post a 6 to 10 minute teaching of MAFOA (as I have called it), every couple of weeks.  One goal is to create awareness of self, purpose and understandings of the Awakening of Self. 

I will speak a truth that has not been told for a long time.  and the things I will share will be easy to understand.  If you are on the path to the awakening then I will help you get there faster.

Feeling is believing.

Lyrics
Verse 1
If I could see
all the things that waited for you and me
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand
for you...

Chorus 1
There's a light in your life
let it be your guide
The clock keeps score
for you tonight
We can change the world 
one clock at a time
don't let it tick away....

Verse 2
If I could see 
through the shadows of life
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand 
for you...

Bridge
One clock at a time
One clock at a time
I could change time
One clock at a time

Chorus 2
There's a light in your life
let it be your guide
The clock keeps score
for you tonight
We can change the world 
one clock at a time
don't let it slip away....

Outro
One clock at a time
One clock at a time
I could change time
One clock at a time

SAY THE WORDS (see info for video link)

So close but yet so far - we're reaching for a star - it's at our fingertips - we ignore who we really are - the truth is in my eyes - but you never look my way - you're so pre-occupied - going on with your day - I'm peeking in your room to see if you're awake - please don't make pretend - oh how my body aches - you're reaching for your phone - it's not me on the other end - does he really make you smile - can he give you everything
got so much time for him - time to throw away - wish you'd make him your past and spend some time today - cause baby we got time - time to see this through - if you've got time for me - then i got time for you
When did this go wrong - the two of us to blame - can you sleep at night - or do you feel ashamed - cause i know that I'm ashamed with all this fight in me - i still procrastinate - precious time is fleeting - if you just pick up your head - take one look at my face - it'll all come back to you - you let me take my place - so i sit and watch you sleep - cause i'd like to spend some time - oh how my body weeps - can't have what isn't mine
Chorus
We're bent but we're no broken - we're tired but we're awake - exchange cautionary glances - at what point will we break - i need some of your time - i miss you terribly - I'm in the other room - come and spend some time with me
chorus
