Oh Captain

I heard you like to travel
And you're up for a dangerous mission
Check your bags and your condition and climb aboard
Watch your head on the door
We're Looking for a leader
The last two? Well they fell through
And oh my do you look the part
You'll Do You'll Do You'll Do Do Do Do
You'll get a medal for this, parades
A kiss from your sweetheart, the keys to the town
When they hear what you've done, your exploits
Aboard that old doomed galleon
Look for the great white ship named opportunity
This venture will define you
Leave tonight without a word, not to anyone
Your whole life is behind you
On a search for monsters and fortune
Be careful how you aim that harpoon
You're on the way home proud and bloody
The kids back home sing a song for the dead
It's the most peculiar trip
That the captain must go down with the ship
At least that's what the elders used to say
It's Tragic but it's True
The captain must go down with the crew
At least that what the stories always say

In the Name of the Night

The heat, the breeze, the braying disease and the trees
The palms of my hands are a foreign land
The sand, our friends, understated and red
A night to recover with all the undercovers
And you'll eat what you get
When you sit with the rest of the honored guests
At the height of the hour dour faces are turned away
In the name of the night they are toasting to a southern wind
And the table's on fire again
We've done this before
And it's happening again
It's dumber than reason
It's wasteful as sin
An extravagant offering
A toast to the end
The scents, the scare, the irradiated air
My breath, all leaden with laughter and dread
An eye, a tear, a caravan in the rear
A destination aimless, distant and blue
And we'll dream with the rest, if we ever get to sleep again
In the kingdom of animals its the cannibals who have agency
At the height of the hour the night demands her hunger satisfied
We're wild and smashing the tables again
We're falling so far
Not a care what's below
It's a funny sensation
It's part of the show
A story to tell your mind when it blows
What a foolish affair, yeah everyone knows
Heavenly
Oh what a time be alive, they're saying
Deafening,
Louder than night to be outside, it's maddening
Ages Eras Eons Burning
Ashes rising to the Morning Star
Heavenly
Oh what a time be alive, they're saying
Deafening
Louder than night to be outside, it's maddening
Ages Eras Eons Burning
Ashes rising to the Morning Star

Call Me Jezebel

Damn this wretched world
A Pox on the house of every boy and girl
Don't you know me by name
When you hear my cackle better turn away
This way the times are turning
As the burning of the wicked night
Reveals the righteous squeals of unjust kingdom's dying light
And as I swing my hips your sinking ships are blown asunder
As all the lords and preachers cling to life on rafts of plunder
If really have to wonder
What caused this timely spell
You can throw me from the tower
But I'll never reach the well
If you need a name to call me
You can call me Jezebel
In your city full of Idols
Watch them turn to dust and salt
Ask you god why he let it happen
But it's really not your fault
You can't help the way he made you
Like I can't help my name
Just like olden days, these ancient pains
Are new again
What makes a man, a man, a man?
The fire in my eyes reflects the skies
For everyone to see
Still no one ever remembers me
I'm a witch on the wing
I can do most anything
Let me dance through the veil
Where all the other seekers fail
Full of love for the scents
Of human disobedience
Those below, let them stare
I'm The Prince of the fucking Air

Here comes another one
The biggest one yet
A big bad blocker of the sun
Watch him sway
Glass armored dilettante, part restaurant
Sweet doorbell eyes and teeth of cement
It's a local emergency
A giant arises he crawls on all fours
A shiny new kitchen a view of the floor
A fist made of iron shaped like the police
You want to resist it, but you can't sign a lease
You tried to fight the wars
By empty lots and corner stores
But there's nowhere to hide
It takes a village to sate his hunger
And his children lumber behind
A giant arises all drooling and spent
He's building a prison and he's charging top rent
A Luxury Massacre with barely a sound
Drunkenly shuffling to the next college town
He Has Remade The Earth In The Image Of The New Gods
He Calls It Art For what it's Worth, you'll pay to see
His golden entrails are made boulevards to nowhere
A monument to smooth barbarity
Here comes another one
A bigger one than the last one
Stop me if you heard it before
A cyclops, nearsighted, addicted to comfort
And ravenous appetite for what's yours

We got the ones that hurt you
We never will desert you
It's an evacuation
Let's get you off this station
When you stepped on that mine, in the nick of time
We're back from the brink
When you're hurt in a war, it's too bad the score
Is Down 2 to 3
What were you trying to do when the world went kaboom
Don't Worry, It's Doesn't Matter
We'll never let these creeps win
Not on our stars, our streets
Let's get you on this table
And bring your systems stable
Your heart is strong and able
By the next time you fight, you'll be standing upright
So sure in your cause
Not a moment to pause to take that last shot
The one that saves all your friends
What was that moment of doubt that made them all shout
Never mind, it doesn't matter
We'll never let these creeps win
Not on our stars, our streets
Now that all your wounds are dressed
We'll patch you up and say God Bless
Send you home and send our love to you
It's not a scar it's just a seam
It's not a nightmare only a dream
Send you home and say farewell, to you
Tread carefully, Battlefield Lover
The heart is treachery, minefield of casualties
Comedy - tragedy - entropy's the enemy of love
War sitcom on a syndicated station
Ghostly reception vison is deception
Comedy - tragedy - entropy's the enemy of love
