01. The Oldest Path

The oldest path beneath the grave
Lies a myth that's still the same
There ain't no way to make a change
Till Kings and Queens have walked in chains

And the wind it blows them down
And the sea it takes them in
In their sleep you'll find the anwser
To everywhere they have been

Sailors tossed by stormy seas
All in the name of slavery
Arm in arm, toe to toe
Sometimes your bestfriend is your foe

And the wind it blows them down
And the sea it takes them in
In their sleep you'll find the anwser
To everywhere they have been

Side by side their pasts in disguise
Together alone as he greeted the tide
And on the water knees lay the thoughts of
A hundred sunken shackle bound souls

And the wind it blows them down
And the sea it takes them in
In their sleep you'll find the anwser
To everywhere they have been

 


02. God Knows

Deal not the truth till you find the proof
And feel not the weight (wait?) can you step today
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
He knows where we've been

Deal from the path and place it on the stack
Pick out the card that's been there from the start
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
He knows where we've been

We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
He knows where we've been

 


03. Short Balled

Here's a tale of my true love
Fair and free was she
Wasn't I just like tonight
she stole my liberty

Ooooh

Like a flower in the spring
Words don't mean a thing
Like the ocean greets the sand
Beyond my own command

Ooooh

But then she warned me
She'd have to go
(And I'd ?) be left to show
Accept the feeling and then I'll know
I'll always love her so (soul?)

 


04. Flys

This is an educational talk about flies

Ichneumon flies deadly killers
Collectively catching caterpillars
Hatching their eggs in the wounds of the wounded
Beg, beat or steal from whomever he chooses


Wooooh Ooooooh


Worker wasp familiar infact
Three sided needle illiterate cats
Sharp-toothed mandibles that work in the grooves
Insects protect and don’t often like to loose

Oooooh
