The Maze
Each corner turns to greet me
A pathway to my soul
With walls so high, they touch the sky
Through years I can't control
This place I'm in astounds me
It never seems to end
This is my Maze
These are my days
If I could change the way I go
Be part of times I'll never know
This maze would be the proper choice
To follow blindly, it's soundless voice
This place I'm in, It astounds me
It seems to never end
This is my Maze
These are my days,
No purple haze
I'm on the inside looking in
Wide lines are growing thin
Inside this Maze, there's no purple haze
This is my Maze, these are my days
This place I'm in astounds me
It never seems to end
This place I'm in astounds me
It never seems to end
This is my Maze
These are my days
No purple haze
These are my days
Inside this Maze

Mama Rock
Never waste a minute
Never changed your style
Always full of life
Always wore a smile
She could tell stories
Like they happened yesterday
Gave your love to all
No one was turned away
People come and go
You’ll never leave
When it’s all said and done
You go on
You could tell stories
Like they happened yesterday
Gave your love to all
No one was turned away
You’ve seen so much
Now your at peace
Goodbye Momma Rock

Sad and Lonely
Couldn't help but see you
A sad and lonely face
Standing in the doorway
To a sad and lonely place
Heard you softly weeping
Sad and lonely cries
You turned and looked right through me
Through sad and lonely eyes
You looked right through me
You looked right through me
Your looking through me
You looked right through me
Didn’t plan to know you
Your sad and lonely tale
Hiding in your sorrow
A sad and lonely veil
I have no words to say to you
No soothing lines to give
In sad and lonely times like this
Sometimes it’s hard to live
Just a sad and lonely soul like you
A sad and lonely world
You looked right through me
You looked right through me
Your looking through me
You looked right through me
No need to be alone tonight
Don’t try to walk away
Sometimes it’s hard to push ahead
Start another day
Won’t you Take my hand
Hold it tight
Let sad and lonely fade away
drift into the night
Just a sad and lonely soul like you
A sad and lonely world

RTZ
Motion is needed
Push at my back
Look what we’re doing
What do we lack?
If by touching, we all can agree
Nothing can stop us !
If It’s not finished, don’t turn around
Look what we’ve done
We’ve covered some ground
Finding a place
That’s right for me
Falling through space..... RTZ
Quiet and peaceful
So easy to fail
Look what we’re doing
We’re the head not the tail!
No matter how hard, or long it will be
We got it rolling!
When chasing the finish start at the end
Theres no turning back
No curves in the bend
Time has been wasted
But now we can see
Over that hill..... RTZ
Finding a place, that’s right for me
Falling through space..... RTZ

There Are Times

There Are Times
There are times when you feel
What your living's not real
And the answers you seek can't be found
As the day's turn to years
All the joy's all the tears
No going back, back around
Emotions you live
All the love that you give
There are times
There are times
There are times when we rest
With our faith put to test
And our dreams seem so hard to find
All the goodness we taste
All the moments we waste
On things that treat us so unkind
Emotions you live
All the love that you give
There are times
There are times
All through it all
When you stumble or fall
You still can’t believe that you’re wrong

Popcorn Dreams
Slipping thru madness, falling thru time
Looking for light, it's so hard to find
Visions astound me, illusions a tease
Portals come quickly now, adrift on a breeze
Like well worn shoes that fit so well
Friends never die
We're in we're out in between
Waving good-bye
Popcorn Dreams
A pale looking face, invading my space
Granting his curses, giving them place
Nobody speaks names that I know
It's not what it seems
We're in we're out, in between
Waving good-bye to Popcorn Dreams
Popcorn Dreams
Another day of Popcorn Dreams
Waving good-bye
Another night of buttered screams
Smearing the sky
Popcorn Dreams

Bow to the King 2
07:34
|

Bow to the King,
He's marching down the aisle
His subjects start to scream,
They've waited quite a while
The King is dressed in red,
His fist are hard as lead
He's waited months to meet,
The man he's going to beat
Bow to the King!
He slowly steps inside,
Across the canvas hide
He hears the bell to fight,
He's blinded by the light
Bow to the King!
The King begins to move,
His movements are so smooth
The man moves to his right,
His eye's are filled with fright
The King connects a right!
The man is turning white!
A jab has crushed his jaw,
The man begins to fall
In fifteen seconds flat,
He's put him on the mat
The man is counted out,
The King has won the bout
As the bell begins to ring,
The crowd salutes their king
With fist up high, they jab the sky,
He's won again they sing!
Bow to the King!
He's won again!
Bow to the King!
He's won again!

Love Sonnet 2
Time honored dreams
Can be reality
Changing to now
What was before
Love is ever at it's height
Love is Yes when it's right
When one Loves His Life is still
His dreams and wishes all come true
Beneath the stars of scented sky's
My arms reach out to hold
The warmth of Love with all it's sighs
The Love that I must hold
Love can be a mounting sound
Expanding till hearts grow full
Love can be a friendship found
Love can turn the fire cool!
A smile a touch
Can soften any heart
No matter who or where we are
Love’s a gift we hold each day
Turn your face it slips away

413
Dressed in gothic sorrow
I watch them slowly pass
Wearing years of torment
Like vestments to a mass
Wretched Land, hell on earth
It's people bowed in shame
Relentless years of grooming
Have seared them like a flame
Three hours till destruction
The speakers blared on high
They’ll be a huge reduction
Three hours till we die
No protest lines
No threatening crowds
Their doom would be unseen
Liquidation
413
Trembling faces
Wild eyes and fearful stares
Little eyes were crying
And weeping filled the air
Escape was not an option
But some still chose to fight
Without a chance of victory
The slaughter took all night
Three hours till destruction
The speakers blared on high
They’ll be a huge reduction
Three hours till we die
No protest lines
No threatening crowds
Their doom would be unseen
Liquidation 413

Eve of the End
A spectacular view
A world of our own
Looking like giants
Tasting the sweet
Our minds are in focus
Our pleasure discreet
It’s the eve of the end
We stand tall on a hill
Playing our song
Touching the clouds Looking down
Waiting is over
The taunting had stopped
Looking like giants
We ride with the strong
This must be heaven
All doubts are proven wrong
It’s the eve of the end
We stand tall on a hill
Playing our song
Touching the clouds
Looking down
This must be heaven
All doubts are proven wrong
It’s the eve of the end
We stand tall on a hill
Playing our song
Touching the clouds
Looking down

In This Time of Mine
In this time of mine
Let my voice be heard
Calling loud from the crowd
There’s power in a word
In this time of mine
Let me speak words of truth
Truth is hard to find
Through it all
In this time of mine
Let me love with all my heart
Love is hard to find
Through it all
When I see dark clouds
Drifting high in the sky,
They will all soon pass
They will all pass by
In this time of mine
In this time of mine

Isle of Hope
Like an angel gently calling,
She beckons me
Lost in the distance of another life,
My destiny
The Isle of Hope, The Isle of Hope
Skid away Drift away across the water
Skid away to the Isle of Hope
Adrift upon a tender wind
I hear her whispering
Spend your life
Be here with me
Make it so
Let it be
Skid away across the water
Skid away to the Isle of Hope
Like an angel gently calling
She cries to me
Skid away across the water
Skid away to the Isle of Hope
Skid away to the Isle of Hope
Spend your life
Be here with me
Make it so
Let it be
Skid away Drift away

Redneck Riviera
Take a ride to the Redneck Riviera
It’s down a teenie weenie road
Stay at the cottage on Pleasure Bluff
Ease your mind you've had enough
The tide is outThe sandbars up
ouple of hours to have some fun
Give me two tokes two smokes
And a couple of rum and cokes
Give me two tokes two smokes
And a couple of rum and cokes
Take a ride to the Redneck Riviera
Its down a teenie weenie road
Don't get drunk or you'll see Sheriff Chunk
At the MacIntosh county jail
The tide is out
The sandbars up
Couple of hours to have some fun
Give me two smokes two tokes
And a couple of rum and cokes
Give me two smokes two tokes
And a couple of rum and cokes
Take a ride to the Redneck Riviera
Its down a teenie weenie road

BANG Dallas, Texas
Surely one of the most unsung bands in the history of American hard rock music, BANG released three full-length albums for Capitol Records in the early 70’s, that criminally sank without a trace. Capitol artist development at the time just did not know what to do with the band that was often called America’s answer to Black Sabbath. ... more
