about

"Our ulterior aim is nothing less than Heaven on Earth,
-the conversion of this globe, now exhaling pestilential vapors and possessed by unnatural climates,
into the abode of beauty and health, and the restitution to humanity of the Divine Image,
now so long lost and forgotten."
-- Charles Dana (Mar 7 1844)

lyrics

A BETTER WORLD

…FOR…GET… THE… GIRL…TIME… TO… BUILD…
YOU’RE… BETTER… WORLD…SHINE…YOU…WILL…

BeFORe ya wanna GET rid of the THE pure evil GIRL
Whore of Babylon the TIME is nearly TWO we gotta BUILD
On top of YOU’RE losing the BET and that’s unTA’ your people WHIRL
Daughter travel on BUT SHINE and its all YOU ya really WILL

Grew UP I a criminal COURT deceiver short but sweet a BABY-faced awkward breather,
…In short a cheater feeling PRIDE like “I’m sure to beat ya”
in SCHOOL? Sort ‘a eager “Yeah, the student just taught the teacher!”
…Thought I’d be a corporate leader, taught to heed the
Bible BUT too bored to read I heard the earth was for the meek to
InHERIT and angels soured the Ether, or Jesus fought to free ya
FIVE loaves and two fishes for the meagre poor to eat I
DOUBTED that he walked across the water either,
Or that HE could heal a Blind man or cure the fever,
Ignore the PREACHER and the priest I didn’t talk to neither,
Man SURELY there is more to read a story how a pauper freed the
SWORD from the stone that’s for sure a keeper,
But the SWORD’LL bleed ya see how mortal we are? Don’t ignore the preacher
…Or repeat mistakes son and daughter heed the Words SEE that Stranger ya opened ya door to feed? ya
Didn’t know that YOU had entertained an angel one that walked in secret
I’m now A believer despite all the sh*t that I see I need to
Be a BETTER man before I meet ya, Lord I’ll greet ya
As a PURE believer, how small a creature look I walk beneath ya
YOU’RE my keeper Lord a final wake up call for the sleeper!

…I’ve rolled in stolen cars fast bowling past strolling paths
Gold in pockets swollen large owing no one but BEHOLDEN last moment?
Fumbling my hearts open wondering, how much sand
the glass holding tumbling from my hand
I humbly ask for atonement I stand and beg for forgiveness
I swear to do better with Heaven is my witness
Oh sweet angels things should ‘a been looking grim you could ‘a threw the book at him
But they see the good within I, wish I wouldn’t sin
But I am trying I’m sick of lying relying on Alcohol buying
My confidence flying but feel like I’m dying
And regrets? I’ve a bucketful enough to fall though loveable
Huggable a bit gullible hope I’m recoverable
Pride cometh, before the fall
Butterflies in my stomach Lord but all I’ve done is
Brag and bombazzled beginners been a blatant bully
But the fact when fun frazzled F-F-F faking fully!

I’ve taken God’s name in vane like “what’s in a name?”
But due to personal circumstances this year? A lots gonna change,
No more doctors to blame because we’re in pain lost little Hayden
In hospital strange obstacles shame was it the strain
Of an early birth no oxygen came or clots on the brain?
Or a disease impossible to name? That wasn’t contained?
Nah he died sleeping Gods little angel but, Gods not to blame
And Jesus’ sacrifice wasn’t in vane…
Second CHANCES are few and far between
And every time you do good? Heaven dances for you nah I mean?
Look ya hands, are they clean?... Free from blood?...
That’s the way ya GOTTA keep’em love start to dream it’ll be enough
TIME TO FORGET THE GIRL…TIME FOR A BETTER WORLD…

The coffin was a closed casket affair the lid closed tight

In every starving land there's a fat King

And every laughing man shares a sad grin"
