Stars.
There, out in the darkness, A fugitive running, Fallen from God, fallen from grace, God be my witness, I never shall yield, Till we come face to face. Till we come face to face. He knows his way in the dark, Mine is the way of the Lord, Those who follow the path of the righteous, Shall have their reward, And if they fall, as Lucifer fell, The flame, the sword! Stars in your multitudes, Scarce to be counted, Filling the darkness with order and light. You are the sentinels silent and sure, Keeping watch in the night. Keeping watch in the night. You know your place in the sky. You hold your course and your aim, And each in your season, Returns and returns, And is always the same, And if you fall as Lucifer fell, You fall in flame! And so it must be and so it is written, On the doorway to paradise, That those who falter and those who fall, Must pay the price! Lord let me find him, that I may see him, Safe behind bars, I will never rest, Till then this I swear, This I swear by the stars!

Hold Back the Tears.
Hello, my old friend, it’s good to see you smiling, You’ve been around so long, you must be strong, And single life really has its fine points, Like friends to help you out when things go wrong.
[Chorus] Hold back the tears that you’ve been crying, Push off the fears when they come around, Hold back the tears and keep on trying, Just around the next corner, may be waiting your true love.
I call her name out in the night, I feel for someone but still something isn’t right, Ah, those streets I hesitate to use, Start looking better when night brings on the blues.
[Repeat Chorus]
Two lyin’ fools and then four cryin’ eyes, Counting on one another to survive, Crazy love must surely have this pain, If getting up means going down again.
[Repeat Chorus]
Hello, my old friend, it’s good to see you smiling.

Vote ‘Em Out.

Vote ‘Em Out.
If you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out. That’s what Election Day is all about. The biggest gun we’ve got, Is called “the ballot box”, So if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out. Vote ’em out (vote ’em out), Vote ’em out (vote ’em out), And when they’re gone, we’ll sing and dance and shout. Bring some new ones in, And we’ll start that show again, And if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out. If it’s a bunch of clowns you voted in, Election Day is comin’ ’round again. If you don’t like it now, If it’s more than you’ll allow, If you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out. Vote ’em out (vote ’em out), Vote ’em out (vote ’em out), And when they’re gone, we’ll sing and dance and shout. Bring some new ones in, And we’ll start the show again, And if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out. Vote ’em out (vote ’em out), Vote ’em out (vote ’em out), That’s what Election Day is all about. The biggest gun we’ve got, Is called “the ballot box”, So if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out. If you don’t like who’s in there, well vote ’em out.
Lyrics: American singer, songwriter and guitarist John C. Fogerty(founder of the swamp rock band ‘Creedence Clearwater Revival’ (CCR). Vocals: American rock band ‘Creedence Clearwater Revival’.
Bad Moon Rising.
I see the bad moon a-risin’, I see trouble on the way, I see earthquakes and lightnin’, I see bad times today. Don’t go around tonight, Well it’s bound to take your life, There’s a bad moon on the rise. I hear hurricanes a-blowin’, I know the end is comin’ soon, I fear rivers over flowin’, I hear the voice of rage and ruin. Don’t go around tonight, Well it’s bound to take your life, There’s a bad moon on the rise. Alright. Hope you got your things together, Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks like we’re in for nasty weather, One eye is taken for an eye. Well don’t go around tonight, Well it’s bound to take your life, There’s a bad moon on the rise. Don’t come around tonight, Well it’s bound to take your life, There’s a bad moon on the rise.
“The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away”. [Psalm 90:10 King James Version]
We presently live in a world which is totally out of control, as individuals struggle to gain power, in order to satisfy an appetite for greed. The lyrics hereunder encourage listeners to imagine a world of peace, without borders separating nations, without materialism and without religion.
Lyrics: Singer, Songwriter and Musician John Winston Lennon and wife, Yoko Ono. Vocals: Swedish Pop, Soul, Rock singer and Guitarist Chris Kläfford(Mikael Christoffer Sjögren).
Imagine.
Imagine there’s no heaven, It’s easy if you try. No hell below us, Above us, only sky. Imagine all the people, Living for today. You… You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, And the world will be as one.
Imagine there’s no countries, It isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too. Imagine all the people, Living life in peace. You… You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, And the world will be as one.
Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world. You… You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, And the world will live as one.
