IfGod so loved the worldthat shecame to us in song;to set the singer free

have weprostituted andraped her beyond recognission,in ourvery acts of worshipingat thedisco sanctuaries of songand dance

Walk me down the dark alleynarked with mental graffitidripping downveins of psychedelicconfettibleeding on a bastard hymnal

ofillegitimate dreams to revive and relivetheromance and the music of the song for it's own sake

Walk me through the ParadiseWhere i needno longer analogize

theelysium in the Pandemoniumrife with every pedestrian achewhenevery other strain, Is a sewer, polluted andfake

SingVocation Part 1

Freedom in SongFlood my heart with musicTwist my mind with rhymeFan my fire light my wickKeep me out of line

Let the burden of my songTouch anothers heartJustify my oxygenWhen I sing it out

Forgive me my frustration

When I fail to singYou made me a musicianThese songs are all I bring

Music is a lonely roadThat I choose to take

Not for applause or rewardBut for the musics sake

When the pimps of pop cultureSpread monopoly

Ill be headed for the doorAnd sing with dignity

Give me more than daily bread

Give me songs to singKeep them playing in my head

Always lingering

Let my music stay aliveWhen Im dead and gone

Eternity will have a voiceWhen she tarries on

Let the muse stay aroundWhen the song is doneInspiration may be foundWhen the music carries on

Should I paint a masterpieceI hope Ill never know

Pray my work will never ceaseThere is room for more

SingVocation Part 2 Learning to Fly

(Learning to fly on the wings of song,to that great gig in the sky)

I call no one teacherand i guess it showsin the haphazard waymy music flows

Clergy want to buy her fireFor 30 pieces of hell

Mercenary stakes on herattireBut i'm not gonna sell

The kingdom of freedom islike a song

That walked on mortal mindsAnd even though it all goes

wrongThe song still unbinds

I lift up my voice unto theskiesWhere do my songs comefrom?It should come as no surprise

The beating of an unhearddrum(Learning to fly high

SingVocation Part 3Cross Blessing

I ran away from the melody

When I saw her crucifiedRobed in sheer divinityNaked with nothing to hide

I saw them copyright her cryptWith tight securitySlaved her at the free marketMade her a commodity

Born of a virgin intellectIlliterate but awareinappropriately perfect

You know it when shes there

She fulfilled the song beyond doubtLyrical extraordinaire

On the charts she has cloutFor all (of us) who will hear

Oh listen to the song that sings withinThe silence of your stillness

Even with every rule a brokenYou dont lose the poetic license

Knock yourself out on inspirationInhale the spiritual soul

Be born again with infatuationLet your first love take you home

Remember the songs that now embarrass youAnd you want to forget her tune

Selective amnesia is like a boomerang(and) Youre back where you began

Imagine now a guitar soloImagine where it would goI would not have to sing these linesLiberated confines

Take this song and make her yoursMarry your lips to her voiceLet the song be a metaphor

Take you to the other sideEmbrace the yeasty epicenterLike she were a bride

Kiss her goodnight and stay awakeTake notes as you watch her doffHeaven breaks loose as you partakeAnd let the music blow you off

SingVocation Part 4 - The Bard

Prepare ye the way of the bard

Be an extreme version of yourself

With every quirky paradox

Well rounded won't cut anything

Don't talk normal if you wanna sing

The drama of true worship

Is to be truly oneself

You don't need no guilt trip

You don't have to fit a shelf

I may not move mountains

I am but a bard

I juggle life and hymnsWith fingers burnt and charred

Though i sing my loudest

I may not reach your ears

What matters is i did my bestDespite my doubts and fears

Obsessions on overdrive

Trickling down my veins

My heart might need an extra valveTo beat these soul terrains

Should i meet the song-giver

Demanding another tuneWould it satiate my hunger?

Lusting for the moon

Songs are just a metaphor

For the salvation withinI'm honored to co-author

The life Ive been given

Plastic to palstic - Sarcastic fantastic

I'm unenthusiastic - Of living unauthentic

Join me with your version

Celebrate the passion

of your own calling

of all that you are beingIt's not competition

It's not even ambition

Vocational who-you-are

Occupational all-you-are

Step out of the trite and shallow

Parochial point of view

The eye that watches over the sparrow

Is probably looking for you

Time has her signature

To date our songs and culture

Cemented in forever

Eternally now or never

Called to live, in Spirit and Truth... Called to bare Spiritual fruit

Your calling is all you know of it ... Eternity set in your heart

SingVocation part 5 Lip ServiceShe saw him lying nakedA song without a verseShe felt inspiredSet her lips to his chorus

She felt the song come to life

Cradled in her breathShe felt it grow as it was sungWith every flick of her tongue

The rhyming got chaotic

In a slapdash messExplosively exoticRainbow'tic finesse

All good things must come to an endThe best afterglow forever

Music bubbled and overflowedThe song became her lover

She gathered her self together

Kissed him goodbyeThought it was all over

A little high and dry

He grabbed her before she could leave

And peeled away her fearsKissed her, caressed her and made her

heaveClimaxing between the ears

Penetrated mind Hurt but felt divineSong n-singer intertwinedEach to its own, by design

SingVocation part 6 New Song in a New WorldNew Song in a New World

Ohhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaah The song is alive

Ohhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaah The song has arrivedOhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaah... Another song is in the offing

Ohhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaah... The songs are multiplying

When we know all the answers

And the universe makes sense

Healed of all our cancersRun out of suspense

When Commonsense supply n demand

In commerce might comprehend

An intrinsic value

In the art of all we do

When irony meets her master

And cleans up the slate

Satire turns sincere

Mockery, affectionate

Poet and purist

Slit the wrist of a pragmatic fist

Around the watch of time

In handcuffs sublime

Our heroes have left us

To think for ourselves

Forgetting our favored songs

So new ones can surface

The entrepreneurial spiritMust sift through delusional shit

Think Inc. technique

Fantastic beyond formulaic

When Natural laws of science

Beats the waif defianceTo a home in another world

Where freedom hung unfurled

And music has no pain




10/12

SingVocation part 7 My Song My Way!My Song My Way!I will sing (again)

For song not for gain

I will sing of how it wasBefore the great loss of loss

In blasphemous devotion

'n dissenting patriotism

Like erotic verseis not about sex but worse

Contortions and distortions

And erroneous interpretations

Composing a virgin's wombIn scripted I assume to the

tomb

Nipples pierced with wisdom

Sepulcher minds open

Heartbreaks sweeter thankisses

Paves the way for freedom

Free-speech no longer preached

Or practiced in silenceFreedom in prison

Beats vision out of rhythm

Questions aren'trhetoricbut

celebratoryAnd answers aren't trite or

right in contrary

Infectious inspirational

Intercourse without protection

May hopefully be the currencyBy which we buy and steal

There s something wrong about this song

Experts of the law and profitssay

If any of 'em a better one

I ve already had my way

Beyond time's signatureIn an overture to the future

Our stained glass psyche

Sing freely and artsyly out ofkey

The Begining!

SingVocation is the story of a song thatbelonged to the pedestrian minds she haunted.Used, abused and loved, the song changed theworld. Wherever she was sung it was Eden!

Proud to announcec Zero Piracy in creatingthis body of work

Musicians are oftencaricatured and

lumped withentertainers, and Ipoorly beg to differ.

Beyond the auralamusement; music

just might be a life

force to some, who areprobably so

delusional that theyneed to pursue aninner noise thathelps them makenonsense of a worldthat otherwise makes

so much sense.
