Happenstance: #SoCS 08.24.24
Happenstance brought them together Happiness kept them that way Happens at strangest of times Happens in strangest of ways Happened so quick and so sudden Happened in blink of an eye Happy together forever Happy ‘neath bluest of skies Happy the first time he kissed her Happy to hold tight her hand Happy that she…

Fandango’s FOWC: “Outside”
Outside Perceptions Outside the realm of being Far outside the realm of mind Outside our world so real Beings of a different kind Outside of our perception Outside your trains of thought For eons they have wandered Only knowledge have they sought Outside the cosmic balance Outside of time and space A world you can’t…

Blocked (The Ballad Of Fried Rice, Chads & Heartache)
I waited at the Chinese takeout You said we’d meet at nine I said I’d place our order And you told me that was fine Lobster rice, the fancy kind For you I bought the best But now I’m here and waiting A sinking feeling in my chest The owner was a dick And he…

(Rain)dancing The Night Away
Dancing in the rain Dance away the summer night Looking fine and pretty Raindrops shimmer under light In the background Eddie’s playing David’s singing just to you You can hear the drums start beating And the bass is pumping too Will you look my way? Or on my way should I just go? Because dancing…

Little Dreamer (Wandering The Veil)
I see you wander, Little Dreamer Through the landscape of your mind I see you wander through the veil So unsure of what you’ll find A path so cloaked and misty Does it hide an open door? And I see you’re back this evening Just what are you looking for? Are you scared that you…

One More Day
A walk through valley Shadows dark Another life Which missed the mark In desolation All alone A crushing pain Straight to the bone An outcast true A nomad’s life The loneliness Cuts like the knife But in the distance Shining light A burning beacon Dead of night All an illusion? Or hope at last? You…

Welcome To Tomorrow
Welcome to tomorrow August 2099 Everything is perfect Everything’s completely fine The androids run the system Everything runs right on time When you’re riding through the city You will notice there’s no crime Everything’s so neat and clean Not a second do we waste Everything it looks so sterile Styled in robotic taste You may…

Strength Beyond
Strength beyond An iron will I am the thing You cannot kill Come here, Death And bring your best You’ll never take My final breath Challenge me I dare you try The disbelief In soulless eye When you find I am your pain And you shall kneel Beneath my reign I’m stronger than You cannot…

Thousand Yard Stare
Thousand yard stare Just a casualty of war Can anybody tell me What the hell we’re fighting for? Politicians dirty games Money, power, greed A war we never asked for Another war we didn’t need A boy arrived on Tuesday He was in a firefight He was crying for his mother As he died on…

Solace In The Strings
She finds her solace in the strings With bow’s caress it sweetly sings It takes her back to better days A smile soft, as on she plays Within her mind, a symphony A backward glance to days so free As she lay it gently in it’s case The smile slowly leaves her face The world…

This I’ll Defend
This I’ll defend, unto my death. This I’ll defend, ’til final breath. This I’ll defend, I’m honor bound. This I’ll defend, for King and Crown. This I’ll defend, these castle walls. This I’ll defend, these sacred halls. This I’ll defend, forever free. This I’ll defend, I vow to thee. ©The Beginning At Last

Lake of Penance
From the mountaintop They cast me At the bottom Left for dead I was wounded I was bleeding Inner heart Filled deep with dread In the Lake of Penance Drowning Gasping Panic through my head Slowly touching bottom Perhaps My time had finally come Slowly losing feeling Everything Becoming numb A spark from deep within…

What Lies Ahead
An open door in front of me What lies ahead, a mystery Another walk towards the unknown Security, aside I’ve thrown Abandoned comfort, left behind Far too late, can’t change my mind I raise my head and hold it high As I turn around and say goodbye What lies ahead, I soon shall see Through…

To Walk With Me
The falling rain A lake at night The moon above The only light I walk the land Amongst the trees It’s here I find I’m truly free Here I breathe The cool night air Here I roam Without a care It’s here I see Serenity With just my thoughts To walk with me ©The Beginning…

I Remember
I remember when this house was new It was built on lands pristine I remember when this house was full Most joyous days you’ve ever seen I remember Grandma baking As the family gathered round I remember late night singing Never heard a sweeter sound I remember Mother reading She always voiced the books with…

In The Ever Of The Afterglow
In the ever of the afterglow Dancing deep into the night In the ever of the afterglow Underneath a shimmering light In the ever of the afterglow Caught within an astral flight In the ever of the afterglow I hold your body to me tight In the ever of the afterglow Nothing ever seems amiss…

Not Clowning Around
They said that I was funny That I was the perfect clown But I must confess that lately All I really do is frown The trapezist stole my lunch bag And the ringmaster’s a dick I want to stuff him in a cannon And fucking launch that little prick He withheld my freaking paycheck ‘Cause…

Flow
In a world so rigid, we must flow For if we don’t, we cease to grow Like water ’round a riverbend We learn to flow, we start to mend Like tranquil oceans, summer sands Like water flowing through our hands If we learn to flow, we move so swift Roll like a stream through nature’s…
