The Cult of Nothing © Kingdon 2010 I keep on hearing Whats best for me I hear it on the TV It seems so feasible And so sincere But I do not trust them I do not want them near The cult of nothing is where I wish to be No other voices, only hearing me The cult of nothing is where I wish to be Turn off that radio, turn off that TV I suspect that they Do not care for me or you And I am doubting That what they say is ever true Im being lectured And told what to do Free speech for the masses? Dont be such a fool! The cult of nothing is where I wish to be No other voices, only hearing me The cult of nothing is where I wish to be Turn off that radio, turn off that TV They want my money They want my vote They want obedience The removal of hope The cult of nothing The cult of nothing The cult of nothing The cult of nothing...

The Winter of Our Discontent © Daum 2011 I thought I always knew That my destiny was you But now I’m not so sure The world's a lonely place And we can no longer face The Better Angels of Our nature When I awoke I was still dreaming It seemed that you were heaven sent Now you say you must be leaving In the winter of our discontent You are not made like me Yet you mean everything to me And I could never make you stay I could never leave you I could not deceive you No matter what you say When I awoke I was still dreaming It seemed that you were heaven sent Now you say you must be leaving In the winter of our discontent When I awoke I was still dreaming I didn't realize what you meant Now you say you must be leaving In the winter of our discontent

Shades Of Gray © Daum 2011 I rue the day I ever met you I hear what you say but I just don't get you Your pretty words pour down like rain But when your lies dry up you'll be gone again Subtle Shades of Gray That range form dark to light Lies in every word you say Just spell it out in Black and White I can't do enough for Daddy’s little girl There's not that much love in the world I can't save your tortured soul You come apart I could never make you whole Subtle Shades of Gray That range form dark to light Lies in every word you say Just spell it out in Black and White I curse the day that I ever loved you You don't want to know what I really think of you I come home at night to find you in my bed There’s a million things I'd rather do instead Subtle Shades of Gray That range form dark to light Lies in every word you say Just spell it out in Black and White

Dark City 03:54
Dark City (c) Robert Kingdon 2011 This dark city Where the sun never shines for you A new dawn rising where the ashes of truth will burn through These broken times Where a man needs to hide away A new world order Where the embers of truth will remain I am saved or so the sign said A thought that stays inside my head But am I losing my mind? Losing my mind? I am saved or so the sign said A thought that stays inside my head But am I losing my mind? Losing my mind? This dark city Where the sun never shines for you An age of reason Where the words of the wise will break through These broken times Where a man must find a way A golden dawn Where the wise will have their say I am saved or so the sign said A thought that stays inside my head But am I losing my mind? Losing my mind? This dark city This dark city falling This dark city Dark city falling

Katarina 06:09
Katarina © Daum 2011 We wrote each other letters every week A private joke that passed between us I'd play your suitor on my knees You were my Imperial Russian Princess My Darling Princess Katarina My pleading letters would begin My dear beloved Katarina It was your heart I hoped to win In our game from a Russian novel You were imperious, and refined I claimed I was immobilized by passion Your beauty seared into my mind My Darling Princess Katarina In time our game came to an end My sweet darling Katarina We could no longer just pretend We exchanged letters all summer It seemed like a silly thing Our epistolary romance Raged like the Torrents of Spring Then one winter's night we came together And dropped the game to be ourselves As I kissed you on your lips We realized what we felt My Darling Princess Katarina What was once a game became real My sweet darling Katarina The game hid what we both feel You were my Princess Katarina As we held each other tight My Darling Princess Katarina Our bodies in the fading light

All The Dreams I Had Eric Daum 2011 Abandon hope all ye who enter here You should really post a sign I should have realized through that lonely year That I would never make you mine All my Energy All my Artistry All the time that I had All my Fantasies All my Poetry All the dreams that I had All the dreams that I had, wasted on you My devotion receives an empty stare Why did I fly out to the coast You insist that you really cared And yet you never held me close All my Energy All my Artistry All the time that I had All my Fantasies All my Poetry All the dreams that I had All the dreams that I had, wasted on you .

Holy War 03:51
Holy War © Eric Daum 2011 Given the choice Between Reason and Faith I'll take Reason any day Given the choice Between Freedom and Belief I'll choose what I believe What gives you the right To shove faith down our throats. Do you know what you’re fighting for? What gives you the right To tell me my beliefs I won't fight your Holy War You claim in God We Trust One Nation Under God And yet you say you want us to be free Your orders from on High I think you read them wrong Is there room for those who don't believe? What gives you the right To shove faith down our throats. Do you know what you're praying for? What gives you the right To sell me my beliefs I won't fight your Holy War Yours is not my cause Because I don't believe In the God you’re fighting for Don't I have the right To stick to my beliefs? I won't fight your Holy War

New Hope 04:05
New Hope Kingdon (c) 2011 Another time Another place Another chance And a brand new face New hopes New fears For I have shed A thousand tears And so it goes And now its here And now its time To taste my fears And so it goes And now its here And now its time To taste my fears The clouds have gone My souls intact It compensates for The hope I lack New hopes New dreams Born again? Or so it seems And so it goes And now its here And now its time To taste my fears And so it goes And now its here And now its time To taste my fears

A Mermaid's Tears © Daum 2011 Washed by the sea Worn smooth on the sand Lost on the beach So smooth in my hand A mermaid's tears A gift from the sea Ground down through the years Becomes a shard of memory Tossed in the waves A bottle of tears The memories we save Grow dim through the years A mermaid's tears A gift from the sea Ground down through the years Becomes a shard of memory

When We Were Young © Kingdon 2011 I remember the times When we were young It was always warm And the days were long But now I see, the end is near A time, when I'm no longer here Just wishing that I had my time again Don't you? don't you? I never thought about the time When I'd get old When nights are long And it feels so cold But now I see, the end is near A time, when I'm no longer here Just wishing that I had my time again Don't you? don't you? It doesn't matter anyway It doesn't matter anyway It doesn't matter anyway No matter what I say It doesn't matter anyway It doesn't matter anyway It doesn't matter anyway Instrumental I remember the times When we were young It was always warm And the days were long But now I see, that the end is near A time, when I'm no longer here Just wishing I had my time again Don't you? don't you?
