FLIGHT AMOND THE TOMBS (Wienczak/Tiseo)
Let’s take a flight among the tombs
We'll ride at night, like cats on witches’ brooms
To bask in black under the white light of the moon
So climb aboard - our flight is leaving soon
Inside the cemetery gates
Your final resting place awaits
See how my spirit levitates
Above earth’s petty loves and hates
On standing stones, our names not yet engraved
Still I wonder, do the spirits give you praise?
Time is an ocean and we must ride the wave
One single breath divides the drowned and the saved
Death has many faces, but he only plays one game
Do what you will, it always ends the same
You may seek out pleasure, and make luxury your aim
Or seek out sacrifice to put the world to shame
On standing stones, our names not yet engraved
Still I wonder do the spirits give you praise?
Time is an ocean and we must ride the wave
One single breath divides the drowned and the saved
On standing stones, our names not yet engraved
We are alone together in this maze
A time to choose, to curse or to praise…
A time to be buried, and a time to be raised…
A time to choose..
To curse or to praise…ARISE!

THE BATTLE OF SHERRAMUIR (Tiseo)
O came ye here the fight to shun,
Or herd the sheep with me, man?
Or were ye at the Sherramuir?
Or did the battle see, man?
I saw the battle, saw the fight,
The Redcoats and the Jacobites,
Who was wrong and who was right?
What is false and what is true?
When the battle comes to you
Will you fight or flee, man?
Everyone must choose a side,
Be ye slave or free man
many fought and many died
for the victory, man
Raise your sword and raise your shield
Life is but a battlefield
Never falter, never yield, the end is near!
Men of fear won’t persevere
And so it goes, you see, man!
On the fields of Sherramuir
Many men did fall
Will you fight or will you flee
When the trumpet calls?
When the seventh trumpet sounds
To rouse you from your sleep
The King will separate
The goats from the sheep
Soaked in lukewarm apathy
Cloaked in black hypocrisy
Neither cold nor hot.
So when you face eternity,
Will you laugh or weep, man?
Fight the fight!
Stand your ground!
Win the Crown!
The Battle of Sherramuir!
The battle goes on…

Condemned to Death

CONDEMNED TO DEATH (Tiseo)
In the beginning,
the beginning of the end,
To walk this way of sorrows,
I have been condemned
The powers of darkness
have sentenced me to die
To terminate the truth,
And liberate the lie
In my time of trial,
forsaken by my friends,
Tortured and defiled,
at the hands of wicked men
A crown of thorns
Arrayed in royal robes
Despised and rejected,
a Man of Sorrows
Condemned to death and doomed to die
(the crowd is crying “crucify”)
Condemned to death and doomed to die
(no more Hosanna heard on high)
Condemned to death and doomed to die
(terminate the truth, liberate the lie)
Condemned to death and doomed to die
Without the Way, I cannot go
Without the Truth, I cannot know
Without the Life, I cannot live without the Cross…
Without the Way, I cannot go
Without the Truth, I cannot know
Without the Life, I cannot live
Without the Cross… I can’t forgive
My brow is bleeding
from the thorns stuck in my head
My body beaten,
And broken down like bread
a victim of the system,
the Sacrificial Lamb
Like Isaac on the altar,
who trusted Abraham
Our fathers are corrupted,
they prey upon the weak
They turn and twist the Gospel,
“Molested are the meek”
For this reason I have come
to bear witness to the truth
To rise above injustice,
betrayal and abuse
Condemned to death and doomed to die (4x)
In the beginning,
the beginning of the end
To walk this way of sorrows,
I have been condemned
Fourteen are the stations
of suffering and loss.
Of trials and tribulations,
the Way of the Cross…

Ozymandias

OZYMANDIAS (Tiseo)
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said, “I’ll tell you what I saw there in the sand.
Two vast and trunkless legs in the desert stand.
The shattered fragments of an antique man.”
A shattered visage lies, half sunk in the sand.
With frown and wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command.
Mocked and molded by the sculptor’s hand,
Paralyzed by pride, without a leg to stand.
Paralyzed by pride,
His heart was petrified.
Empires rise, empires fall
I see the Queen is standing tall..
Lady of Humility, Daughter of Divinity,
On two feet you stand, upright with beckoning hand.
Give me the ability to share in your humility,
To kneel as well as stand, to remember who I am,
A fragile mortal man.
I met a pilgrim from a hallowed land
On his knees he crawled up the mountaintop to stand
He had a vision of a woman dressed in blue
Her heart was bleeding for me and you…
Lady of Humility, Daughter of Divinity,
On two feet you stand, upright with beckoning hand,
Give me the ability to share in your humility
To kneel as well as stand, remember who I am
The power of divinity took on our humanity,
Like water into wine, human and divine,
So show the Son of Man to us,
Who, unlike Ozymandias,
Is the true King of Kings…
The lone and level sands stretch far away…far away
