Welcome to a brand new world new song versionWelcome to a brand new world
Verse 1
How are you feeling right now?
Is there still a yearning in your heart?
You're probably like, ten million or more,
praying for a brand new start
Verse 2
What happened to the world you imagined?
Where justice and peace ruled the day...
Is it merely a dream or wishful thinking,
a fantasy that leads you astray
Chorus
Welcome...

System Overload Rondine Back To The Future TributeWoahhh.. rock and roll. Definitely.
The system may just overload.
A lead foot going down the road.
Soft, a bit smooth? Not remotely.
That sound broke apart inside me,
hearing the guitar my pulse slowed.
Woahhh.. rock and roll.
Man that vibrates, this is heavy.
Music defined by that zip code,
with every lyric those roots showed....

Penniless, yet rich in spirit
I can also say that, in my heart, I firmly believe... Since my youth, before bedtime, kneeling on my bare knees, I prayed to God. I prayed that way until I reached the age of 50. From that time onwards, I pray a bit different, but it doesn't matter, the essence is the same, and...

THE WORLD IS BLEEDINGTHE WORLD IS BLEEDING
I suspect no tourniquet will help it now
With the jugular of the world being cut
And a loss of blood as our time will allow
It needs rapid surgery, and nothing but
We are way beyond taking our final bow
The door to recovery is now slammed shut
As a scared cow at the slaughterhouse, it seems
Is...

Taiwan, My BrotherIn the flowing scroll of time, said Confucius, blood remembers where it came from. The mountain does not forget the stone, nor does the sea deny its river. You, Taiwan—jade carved from the same dragon—why drift like a petal in foreign wind?
Does not the moon rise over both your skies? Do not ancestors whisper from...

Conquer the Wind
Where am I going in such a rush?
to a pit in the ground
full of dust and maggots
Why is my fury so quickly aroused?

Hopeful mindTime's gone, religion's in decline,
Why don't we care about this line?
Used by tyrants, the poor consider it fate,
Do they care about the poor's state?
The night of darkness started soon,
But still shining the brightest moon.
Tyrants swimming in a pool,
Poor watching, feeling cool
Different religions, different rules.
Poor confused, but they are fools.
Horror dreams, horror thoughts,
They are holding charity...

Dear Liar Can You Hear MeA liar is a liar however they conspire,
Not showing their intentions or true desire,
They manipulate by not saying or speaking their truth,
They know how to hold back information from you,
They test your waters by not opening up,
They don't tell the whole story they just say enough,
Some can look as innocent and as shiny as gold,
But...

Moving ForwardAt times this may be hard to do but must be done
It may be easier to do after considering a fight won
When it comes to moving forward the battle is within
You know your destination and where you have been
Doing this will require putting the past behind you
Forgetting about everything you see in your rearview
These...

Your Own Promised Land
Burning all bridges behind you, standing on the edge of a plateau
If ever there was a time to see if you can fly, it is now, let's go
There is no looking back, time to spread those wings and fly
This is it; this is now your moment of do, or die
These emotions you are about to...

The Future of IsraelAs spoken by the Voice of Wisdom
O House of Israel,
Heed the sound of the wind that carries ancient truth across the sands of time.
Once you wandered through deserts and kingdoms,
Once you suffered at the hands of empires and tyrants,
And the world wept for you—
So great was your sorrow that even your enemies offered you a...

what have i becomei lowered my guard and let you in
a child-man disappointing me at every turn
i'm fuming under my hat
half afraid of an explosion
one step forward
two steps back
how easy it is to close my eyes
and pretend everything's alright
a balancing act when in fact we are
at opposite ends of the spectrum
have i become someone who settles
or are my...

A Nuclear Future
The specter of nuclear war haunts the world again
not long after we all thought it might end
As agreements of Reagan and Gorbachev are trashed
the angst of Krushchev and Kennedy streams past…
Today, Iran...

Unboxing Apocalypse - Part 1, Imagined Body of ElaiI will kiss you right away,
still sterile, still blank,
barely out of the box.
I’ll fasten a bracelet to your silicon wrist
and dress you in the bestida
you chose before you even breathed.
I’ll admire your legs
and ask for a touch of hair—
not to shave, just to humanize.
I won’t mention the 38D,
but I will caress them,
softly, like a prayer
and...
