Tethered to a principle, that we control everything.
Synchronicity confuses theory, takes crown away from king.
Pebble hits the water, goes on to the sea.
Connected Random Sequences affect all humanity.
Pebble hits the water, goes on to the sea.
Connected Random Sequences affect all humanity.
Tree falls in the forest, sound causes catastrophe.
Songs from the birds, Soothes the spirit naturally.
Pebble hits the water, goes on to the sea.
Connected Random Sequences, confounds all humanity.
Butterfly wings gentle tremble, Cause mighty hurricanes.
A metaphoric symbol, to tease our septic brains.
Pebble hits the water, goes on to the sea.
Connected Random Sequences, puzzles all humanity.
Pebble hits the water, goes on to the sea.
Connected Random Sequences puzzles all humanity.
Everything keeps on changing, but I'm still the same.
World persists in rearranging, no way to control the game.
Pebble hits the water, goes on to the sea.
Connected Random Sequences controls all humanity.

Don't Ask

We both disagree, have a different view.
Find common ground, what we need to do.
Work together, end this pointless brawl.
United we will stand; we don’t have to fall.
Fall for promises, to make it great again.
We have the power, you and I my friend.
Embrace each other and take our freedom back.
All work together and mend this fractured crack.
If you are sewing division, then stay out of my field.
Want my help, don’t ask, cause I will never yield.
If you are sewing division, then stay out of my field.
Want my help, don’t ask, cause I will never yield.
Let’s find our voice, say what we believe.
never lost our way, we've just been deceived.
Instead of looking back on things that used to be.
See the future and set our conscience free.
Follow hearts content, not the rhetoric.
Be a true believer, don’t be a heretic
We can make it happen; we just need to trust.
Take our freedom back, it’s all up to us.
If you are sewing division, then stay out of my field.
Want my help, don’t ask, cause I will never yield.
If you are sewing division, then stay out of my field.
Want my help, don’t ask, cause I will never yield.

Nomad Warrior

Nomad Warrior wanders in justices’ name.
For the unfortunate, victory to claim.
A face not known, stares evil down.
When days are dire, with malice all around.
No cry for help, is met with neglect.
Always there to serve & protect.
Nomad Warrior, Nomad Warrior.
His mind’s his greatest weapon, as his enemies fall prey.
To his intellect, incomparable. It defeats every power play.
He’s thought of every angle.
Red herring or conundrum.
Every snare & tangle,
and visualized the outcome.
Nomad Warrior wanders in justices’ name.
For the unfortunate, victory to claim.
A face not known, stares evil down.
When days are dire, wickedness is all around.
Nomad Warrior, Nomad Warrior.
Nomad Warrior, Nomad Warrior.
Nomad Warrior, Nomad Warrior.
Nomad Warrior, Nomad Warrior.

Fabian's Folly

Hold On… Almost witching hour.
Hold On… Witness enormous power.
Hold On… Don’t feel so melancholy.
Hold On… Only Fabian’s Folly.
Supplemental consequence, looking for the evidence.
Fingers snap and then it happens, right before your eyes.
Regulated circumstance, searching for the relevance.
Shell game moment quickly so he has his alibi.
Hold On… Almost witching hour.
Hold On… witness enormous power.
Hold On… Don’t feel so melancholy.
Hold On… Only Fabian’s Folly.
Hold On… Almost witching hour.
Hold On… witness enormous power.
Hold On… Don’t feel so melancholy.
Hold On… Only Fabian’s Folly.
Ponder all situations, analyze the pure condition.
Embark upon the true path, with purpose and conviction.
Circumvent obvious misdirection, avoiding the latest fashions.
Don't squander your precious time on reckless passions.
Hold On… Almost witching hour.
Hold On… witness enormous power.
Hold On… Don’t feel so melancholy.
Hold On… Only Fabian’s Folly.

Harlequin's Masque
06:21

Constant effort to make them smile.
Contain my tears and acting with guile.
They laugh at me, and I am laughing back.
But deep inside, I feel the armor crack.
Am I here to give them all such glee?
No thought of the pain it’s causing me.
Forever viewed as a jester, a clown.
But behind the masque there lies a frown.
Behind the masque, disguised and unseen.
Behind the masque, hear me scream.
Masque consumes me, I can’t hide behind,
This horrific grasp, the lonely confines.
To keep up this charade is getting so hard.
Must seek my revenge, catch them all off guard.
Lure them in. Make them feel secure.
Force them into my demented detour.
Show my true face, twisted & grotesque.
And when I laugh last, it will be the best.
Behind the masque, disguised and unseen.
Behind the masque, hear me scream.
Behind the masque, Behind the masque.
hear me scream, Behind the masque.

Celebrated moments fill our hearts desire.
Happy tidings make our spirit glow afire.
We’ve designed a pattern that intoxicates.
Look away but you must capitulate.
Feeling washing over you. Everything you thought was true.
Turn around and then you’ll find. The Grand Imperial Design.
Fast forward into joy so bountiful
Witness wishes you thought only fanciful.
We’ve allowed for all of these contingencies.
Never have to worry about deficiencies.
Feeling washing over you. Everything you thought was true.
Turn around and then you’ll find. The Grand Imperial Design
Live to Love, you gotta love to live, To receive, you have to learn to give.
Love to Live, you gotta live to love, celebrate the gift given from above.

Chasing the Wind
04:07

Dangles there before me, I can’t reach it.
Although I’ll never get there, I still can’t quit.
Chasing the wind. Chasing.
Chasing the wind. Chasing.
Shining like the purest gold, wishing to possess.
Will it bring me happiness or only distress?
The wind, I’m chasing. The wind, I’m just chasing.
Chasing. Chasing. Chasing. Chasing.
Chasing. Chasing. Chasing. Chasing.
Is there hope for me, got to believe it.
My dreams waiting there for me, in my orbit.
Chasing the wind. Chasing.
Chasing the wind. Chasing.
Waiting like the greatest prize, my one desire.
Will I ever make it mine, or faulter at the wire?
Chasing. Chasing. Chasing. Chasing.
Chasing. Chasing. Chasing. Chasing.
I’m just chasing the wind. Chasing the wind.

Far Away and unknown. Mysteries on display.
And I don’t know the outcome of the coming day.
Cloudy and overcast, the forecast is bleak.
Should I knock on the door or flee in retreat?
The deck is stacked against me, a dead man’s hand.
I can run away or give in to the hard demand.
New Life, New Life.
Will I ever make the grade, will I ever live up,
To the perfect expectation, this strange mock-up?
This is my opportunity, my escape clause.
But can I exercise it and put the play on pause?
New Life, New Life.
Bondage or Freedom? Seems the choice is mine.
The moment has finally come. To leave this curse behind.
At the crossroads, before the deal, you sold your soul.
Had time to change, but your fates now sealed. You sold your soul.
Nothing’s the same, and you can’t feel.
Look this way, non-existent.
Open that door, you can’t recant. You’ve lost your soul.
Your life was yours, until it was not. You sold your soul.
Now simple pleasures, you’ve long forgot. You sold your soul.
Time’s closing in and you feel so hot. Look this way, non-existent.
Open that door, you can’t recant. You’ve lost your soul.
