The Highways Bride

Can you see her,
The Wicked Lady, shadows torments me
On No-man’s-land, pistol in hand
She shoots down the driver, for riches denied her
Can you see her, can you see her

Can you hear her,
The Lady Katherine, shadows gathering
From out of hiding, couple surprising
Shoot her; she fled, riding she bled
Can you hear her, can you hear her

They found her horse, amidst the grounds
Covered in blood, laboring unbound
They found her body, in Markyate cell
The highways bride, haunting farewell
The highways bride, The highways bride, cast into hell

Can you feel her,
Never forgotten, shadow on the common
On No-man’s-land, pistol in hand
Revenants intention, seeks redemption
Can you feel her, can you feel her

They found her horse, amidst the grounds
Covered in blood, laboring unbound
They found her body, in Markyate cell
The highways bride, haunting farewell
The highways bride, The highways bride, cast into hell

Can you reveal her,
The highways bride, torment foretells
Can you feel her, can you feel her
The highways brides, haunting farewell

Perfect Compromise

You don’t have to try and convince me
I know that you’re not perfect
You don’t have to hide your thoughts away
I know that your worth it
You don’t have to supress how you feel
I’ll listen to your pain
I can validate all your emotions
And I’ll love you still the same

You don’t have to try and impress me
‘Cus you already exceed
You don’t have to be someone you’re not
‘Cus you’re all that I need
You don’t have to be on your guard
I’m not playing any games
I take you with any scars
And I’ll love you still the same

When what you think what you say
and what you feel are all in harmony

Loves an understanding
A trade off we improvise
It’s taking each other the way we are
To respect and empathize
A perfect compromise

I believe I’m not always right
And I don’t have all the answers
I believe we’ll have to talk things out
Find our course and take our chances
I believe I’ll need to open up more
Trust you and try an explain
And I hope when you understand me
You’ll love me all the same

When what you think what you say
and what you feel are all in harmony

Loves an understanding
A trade off we improvise
It’s taking each other the way we are
To respect and empathize
A perfect compromise
A perfect compromise
A perfect compromise

Père Lachaise

French kissing by the Saine
Locked at Pont Des Art
Montmartre ascending
Healing Sacred Heart

Cold breaths misty clouds
Warming hands felt
Moonlit gazing
Dusky chills melt

Père Lachaise
With you
Garder La Foi Avec Toi
Père Lachaise
We knew
Aime-Moi
Père Lachaise

A wish at Pont Marie
Notre Dame’s rites
Stroll Champe de Mars
In glowing Eiffel nights

Lying on frozen ground
Holding each other tight
Sharing icy breath
Embracing the night

Père Lachaise
With you
Garder La Foi – Avec Toi
Père Lachaise
We grew
Aime-Moi
Père Lachaise

Angels protect
Weeping and mourning
Kissing Wilde’s tomb
Remembering the fallen

Touches enthrall
As soft lips explore
Discover the heavens
Found to Adore

Père Lachaise
With you
Garder La Foi – Avec Toi
Père Lachaise
We’re true
Garder La Foi – Avec Toi
Père Lachaise

The Dragon

[It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age…]

The only certainty I believe
Is those certain are ignorant and deceive
And those with insight full of vision
Are plagued by doubt and indecision

Don’t fill the void with certainty

Does life hold secrets a grand design
Or are we mere specks adrift in time
No evidence suggests a plan divine
To guess a purpose is a pointless incline

Don’t fill the void because you do not know

Where are the wise men now
The Russel’s and the Moore’s
As we pray divided desperate
The dragons still at the door
The dragons still at the door

Life’s a paradox a tapestry grand
We must trust in each other, hand in hand
Abandon this madness this binary trend
And seek redemption cooperation mends

Don’t fill the void with ignorance and hate

Where are the wise men now
The Russel’s, and the Moore’s
As we pray divided desperate
The dragons still at the door
The dragons still at the door

Don’t fill the void when you don’t understand
Leave the space empty for wisdom to expand

The dragons still at the door
Leave the space for wisdom to explore
The dragons still at the door
The dragons still at the door

A Single Heartbeat

A single heartbeat can last a lifetime
A single glance shows life combined
The realization we always knew
Lifts your soul and restores the view

A single heartbeat passions ricochet
A single word can take your breath away
When you discover destiny mislaid
Leaves you numb stunned and dazed

A single feeling can shape a future
A single moment when you know you love her
A single night gratifies our needs
A single vow offered on our knees

A single heartbeat can last a lifetime
A single song can sing our rhyme
A single heartbeat can last a lifetime
A single song when your lying entwined

A single heartbeat
A single heartbeat

A single heartbeat can break a lifeline
A single wish that was never divine
Fracture the trust and silence the call
No fairytale love no princely ball

A single heartbeat obscures the lines
A single truth hidden in your signs
The sacred words have no healing
Exposing affairs the real meaning

A single feeling can split a future
A single deceit when you thought you knew her
A single night gratifies your needs
A single vow broken on your knees

A single heartbeat can break a lifeline
A single song can’t sing your rhyme
A single heartbeat can break a lifeline
A single song for her lying crime

A single heartbeat

A single heartbeat can split a future
A single heartbeat when you thought you knew her
A single heartbeat gratifies your needs
A single heartbeat broken on your knees

Content

At the end of the day
When you’re tired and dazed
And your world stops spinning
And your connections cease ringing
Pause and look around
See what treasures you’ve found
Listen to your life
Its Content sound

As twilight brings an end
When your bones begin to ache
And your mind is spent
And your voice starts to break
Close your eyes in repose
Breathe deeply and compose
Listen to your soul
Its Contentment shows

Life’s to quick
You struggle to keep up
So don’t try to do it all
Focus on the crux

Remember all you have
Be thankful and proud
Listen to your world
It’s Contentment found

At the break of the dawn
With all that lies ahead
And your plan of attack
And your missions to adapt
Unplug for a second
Take a moment be amazed
With all you’ve gained
The Contentment you’ve obtained

Life’s to quick
You struggle to keep up
So don’t try to do it all
Focus on the crux

Remember all you have
Be thankful and proud
Listen to your world
It’s Contentment found

Listen to you world
It’s Contentment found

Harley Quinn

No one can tell you what to do
What to live for what to pursue
No one can tell you what is right
Who you should hold during the night

No opinion matters accept your own
How you feel inside is yours alone
No opinion matters only yours
How you find happiness is your own course

Everyone has a point of view
Some believe they’re always right
They can’t ‘Live and let Live’
They’re ignorant lacking insight

Life to short
So when you’re chasing dreams
Turn for inspiration
Heroines of the screen

Leia Ripley The Bride Yu Shu Lien
Lucy Adler Katness Everdeen
Don’t fear being different from the crowd
Be bold be loud be beautiful be proud
Follow your path the calling within
Find your inner Harley Quinn
Your inner Harley Quinn

Don’t let them suppress you
Or worry what they may say
You’re bigger than all of them
Don’t you hide away

Lara Connor Trinity Selene
Lisbeth Swann Thelma and Louise
Don’t fear being different from the crowd
Be bold be loud be beautiful be proud
Follow your path the calling within
Find your inner Harley Quinn
Your inner Harley Quinn

Turn for inspiration
From heroines of the screen
Women with attitude
Being what they believe

Leia Ripley The Bride Yu Shu Lien
Lucy Adler Katness Everdeen
Lara Connor Trinity Selene
Lisbeth Swann Thelma and Louise
Follow your path the calling within
Find your inner Harley Quinn
Your inner Harley Quinn

Be bold be loud be beautiful and proud
Find your inner Harley Quinn
