Panic in the Beltway 02:44
lyrics

Panic in the Beltway Tell me can you hear it Tell me can you feel it Rising tide of truth to wash away their lies A new direction Re-found conviction The blazing anger opens up our eyes Panic in the Beltway Cause the sheep are waking up Send in the brute squad Cause the slaves are rising up They play distractions To gauge reaction Mind bending false flags to fill up your cup Contestant winners Celebrate the sinners Who gives a shit now that the jig is up Panic in the Beltway Cause the sheep are waking up Send in the brute squad Cause the slaves are rising up

Fight 07:05
lyrics

Fight The shreds of dignity in tatters on the ground right next to justice, passed away without a sound I choose to fight I choose to fight Look at the people, some no longer blind It’s hard to stand up when prescriptions ease the mind I choose to fight I will fight

Lullabye 05:41
lyrics

Lullabye I know that it’s getting late I hear it so clear In your sighs So come to me little one Here in my arms Close your eyes Feet dangle off the ground Eyes next to mine Dance around Nothing can hurt you here Nothing to fear Lay your head down Imagine what you will see as you fly through the night No matter where you go, you’ll be all right No need to worry now I will be there When you rise So come to me little one Here in my arms Close your eyes Imagine what you will see as you fly through the night No matter where you go, you’ll be all right

Nonsense 09:53
lyrics
buy track
Nonsense One bright day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight. Back-to-back they faced one another, Drew their swords and shot each other. One was blind and the other couldn't see, So they chose a dummy for a referee. A blind man went to see fair play, A dumb man went to shout "hooray!" A deaf policeman heard the noise, And came and shot the two dead boys. A paralyzed donkey walking by, Kicked the copper in the eye, Sent him through a rubber wall, Into a dry ditch and drowned them all. (If you don't believe this lie is true, Ask the blind man -- he saw it too!)

Womb 06:02
lyrics
buy track
Womb In another time In another place Would it have been possible Not to land on my face? Show me the light and I’ll follow the beacon to nowhere Wrap me up In the cocoon I’ve become too comfortable To escape from the womb My greatest fear is to awaken from my slumber I may never open my eyes again Pick me up Then lay me down Take my head off Spin it round and round And when it stops will I see the direction to somewhere? I may never open my eyes again If I never open my eyes again

about

"Beacon to Nowhere" takes a lyrical ride through politics, wishful thinking, liberties, pure nonsense, and the moments before one drifts off to sleep. With a a foot planted in prog-rock (and the other in an unidenified substance), this collection has it's share of twists, turns and suprises.
