Down with a thousand souls it went right here! Right here! Right here! Ho, that’s me over, my lassie's dead n' gone! Ho, blow me over, her ship has sank n' gone! Right here! Right here! Down with a thousand souls it went right here! Right here! Right here! It’s too hard to talk. I can’t believe that she’s gone. The current was strong. It’s too hard to think About her below. Undertow. Ho, that’s me over, my lassie's dead n' gone! Ho, blow me over, her ship has sank n' gone! Right here! Right here! Down with a thousand souls it went right here! Right here! Right here!

Stay Home!
Stay Home!Copyright 2020 Dom DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe Lyrics: I couldn't deny (that) there's so many souls beggin'. Day after night, I see so many souls waitin'. I couldn't deny (that) there's too many souls strugglin'. Day after night, I see too many souls hurtin'. And now I'm ragin' 'gainst Mammon and all his pretty machines 'cause they're just waitin' to put us all out of our misery. I couldn't deny (that) there's too many souls strugglin'. Day after night, I see too many souls hurtin'. And now I'm ragin' 'gainst all of our leaders and the social elite 'cause they are just waitin' to put us all out of our misery. We've had enough! All we want is what's fair and right! We've had enough! And we're not afraid to start this fight! We've had enough! We're sick of all your bullshit plans! Enough is enough! This time we're going to take a stand!!! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (And the government says) "Stay home!"

Life
LifeCopyright 2020 Dom DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe Lyrics: One gone while another stays. Is there any reason for asking “Why?” All is said it’s just another day. Is there any rhythm to this lie? Man, that was something! What a life! Was that me??? "It’s always something!" What a line -- lie! Was that me??? Some gone while some others stay. It’s the only rhythm to this lie. All is said it’s just another day. Is there any reason for asking “Why?” When all’s said, I gotta love it. Oh I said “Oh, yeah.”

Under the KnifeCopyright 2020 Dom DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe Lyrics: I’ve had enough of her. Now, I’m topped off. I’m in love, but She really cuts me up. She’s all “Yeah!!!” and some “Woah, woah, woah!” She’s gonna cut me up rough Whatever she does. She’s going to eat my life alive, oh, baby, yeah. I ate the best of her. I’m ready to drop off. I’m in love, but She loves to cut me up. I’m all “Yeah!!!” and some “Woah, woah, woah!” I’m gonna cut her up rough Whenever because… I’m going to eat her life alive, oh, baby, yeah. I’ve got a way with what lies. Yeah, what lies out of line. I’ve had my way with her kind. They always come by my side. This is how we love! This is all we want! This is how we strengthen our bond!

Welcome To The 21st Century, The Age Of Obsolescence!
Welcome To The 21st Century, The Age Of Obsolescence!Copyright 2020 Dom DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe Lyrics: I asked the takers if they knew how to give. I asked the killers if they knew how to live. I asked the losers if they knew how to win. I asked the babies if they knew how to begin. Perfect, livin’ the world. Finally feelin’ the world. So much use to the world. I asked the bankers if they knew how to share. I asked the liars if they knew how to care. I asked the lovers if they knew how to shill. I asked the dying if they knew how to be still. Perfect, leavin’ the world. Much too old for the world. No more use to the world.

Love In Ultraviolet Light - B-Side Recording
Love In Ultraviolet Light - B-Side RecordingCopyright 2020 Dom DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe I'm walking all alone on the shore, it's another day. You're flowing through my mind like a sky full of ocean waves. I see you shining in your light on a sunny day. Share with me in your light for a while 'fore you fly away. Waited so long, I've waited so long, I've waited so long, My ocean butterfly For love in ultraviolet light! I feel the sun upon my face As you float into my space. I feel the love in your embrace -- Shoots me straight to outer space. And I know that you know I have waited so long.

A Grain of Salt - A 1970's-Style Rock Song
A Grain of Salt - A 1970's-Style Rock SongCopyright 2020 Dom DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe Lyrics: Brother said “Carry on! You won’t be seein’ me for a while, man. Our blood is shared. Carry on. I’ll be seein’ you in a while, man. But you shouldn’t worry at all. Take it with a grain of salt. ‘Cause life will eat you alive Though you try and you try Good intentions don’t make up a life. Take it with a grain of salt. I guess I’ll see you when we are both aged. Will we be different or still just the same? You see, it’s been bothering me some, All of these years to be gone. Can they be counted upon To return what’s already gone? I guess I’ll see you when we both have changed. Life happens; it’s never the same. And it’s been bothering me some, All of these years to be gone. They can’t be counted upon To return what’s already gone. Life can be a lesson, Love, an unquenchable thirst. But on the day of reckoning. Worries will have been your curse!”

Carried On The Wind (Special thanks to Paul G.A.U.G.E. Thompson for the drums!!!)Copyright 2020 Dom DiNardo, Matthew Alan Rowe and Paul Thompson. Lyrics: All or nothing — I will always understand It’s not for nothing — carried on the wind. Life has meaning, but they’ll never understand That there’s a reason for which we live. You carry me. I carry you, But there is nothing else that I would rather do. I give for you. You give for me ‘Cause there is no one else in whom we can believe. All or nothing — I will always understand It’s not for nothing — carried on the wind. Hope has meaning, but they’ll never understand That there’s a reason for which we live. You carry me. I carry you, But there is nothing else that I would rather do. I give for you. You give for me ‘Cause there is no one else in whom we can believe. They can’t break us down inside! We know who we are! And finding their way through the maze is their burden. Couldn’t find their way!

The Man In The Sun
The Man In The SunCopyright 2020 Dom DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe Lyrics: There is a man who lives in the sun. He has an old black cat and nobody knows where he got it from. But now he’s just gone, yeah, he’s gone. He left without telling anyone. So, people stare and they dare and they dare and they stare straight at the sun. And they go blind as they’re staring straight But they don’t mind even though their efforts may be too late. Has he abandoned us? He’s disappeared. He was right there! There was a man…

We’re all searching! We’re all looking! We’re all searching! We’re all waiting! We’re all hoping! That’s gotta count for something.

Menagerie
MenagerieDom DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe Copyright 2019 Lyrics: What if you and me — We ditch the circus — Forget our purpose — What if you and me just up and leave??? And we’ll open all the cages And see what rage is — Grimacing faces of all the beasts and freaks now running free!!! And at that time, you know, we’ll tell the clowns who run the show where they can go!!! 3x’s: Burn it down!!! Their fun stops now!!! Burn it down!!! What if you and me — We pull the tent down And torch the fairground? Nothing but total anarchy!!! And we do it all in stages, so it’ll last for ages. Grimacing faces of all the ticket-holders trying to flee!!! And at that time, you know, we’ll tell the clowns who run the show where they can go!!! 3x’s: Burn it down!!! Their fun stops now!!! Burn it down!!!

Slowly, finding purpose through the roots that they’ve grown. The only way through — (is) the two of you.” Recent Widow/Widower: “Wading through the silence and so much that’s unknown. Dying on the inside until you find your way home. The only way to — Oh, I need you!” Ankou to the one who died: “It’s time for accepting you have relinquished control. You heard me knocking. Now, get into my coach. Try as you might, you can’t fight me ‘cause it’s your time to go. Plead all you like, there’s no stopping me. I am now all you’ll know.” The one who died: “Please, please, please! Don’t make me leave from here!!!” Ankou to the one who died: “I’m not your god, you know! I just do what I’m told.

Roads-Demo to be Re-Recorded
Roads-Demo to be Re-RecordedCopyright 2019 Dom DiNardo Matthew Alan Rowe and Jason Lynch (Lyrical Contribution) This is just a demo that we are currently re-recording. Lyrics: Well, I’ve figured out where I’m going now. Won’t you come, too? I need a better life. This one isn’t right. I’m going to start anew. Time digs with a sharper knife. Just when I think I’ve got it right, I’ve gotta start anew. We’re going To the west. Time will never be this young again. Let’s make the best of this time, my friend. Let’s make the best of this time until the end. Follow me out west. It’s time we were moving on. Put the past behind. It’s time we started living again. Start to live again! Well, I’ve figured out what this life’s about. It’s about me and you. We must carry on the fight. And someday we’ll get it right, Just me and you. And so, I’m holding you real tight, Driving us through the night Towards something new. We’re going To the west. Time will never be this young again. Let’s make the best of this time, my friend. Let’s make the best of this time until the end. Follow me out west. It’s time we were moving on. Put the past behind. It’s time we started living again.

Canary In A Coal Mine
Canary In A Coal MineCopyright 2019 Dominic DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe Lyrics: Give me something to show that you know that everything will be all right, And not just tonight! Give me something to LIVE by!!! Give me something to show that you know about the mysteries of life -- Why we live and die, And why we try to survive!!! Bridge & Chorus: Well, I guess that's just the feeling when you live in the unknown. Like maybe there's something better that you will never know. And how do you find the meaning that others seem to know??? Keep on hoping -- Keep on looking for it! 'Cause maybe there's something out there TO discover!!! And maybe that something's simply that we FIND each other!!! Cause maybe that something's simply....x3 Oooahoohoo! There is so much to know that I know that it keeps me up at night. Keeps me wound real tight! Keeps me wondering "Why?" 'Cause there is so much we see that we see that we never see quite right. So, why do we try? Why keep wondering "Why?" Repeat Bridge & Chorus

Nequitia
NequitiaCopyright 2019 Dominic DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe Lyrics: Can you see your past passing by you again??? Now, you have to fast forward just to rewind!!! Can you believe you gotta start it all over again??? Seems your best foot forward drags the other behind!!! Going with the grain of things -- I've got no brain, you see. No. Thought I was made for greater things, But by the looks of things, No. So, don’t you believe! They’ll feed you nothing but their lies again!!! They’ll just keep tryin’ to rob you of your senses and your will to try!!! So, don’t you flee! Don’t let them steam roll you again!!! The truth of what they do will destroy them! The truth will stand the test of time!!! Going 'gainst the grain of things -- I’ve got a brain, you see!!! Oh! And now I’m doing greater things! You’re through oppressin’ me!!! Oh! I guess you’re livin’ your lie like no one can get to you -- No one can hurt you! No one can touch you! But you better get wise to the truth I’m ‘bout to pour upon you -- You are what you do! You can’t escape you! No matter what you deny, posterity will see right through you -- Nowhere to run to! No more escape route!!!

The Narrow Gate
The Narrow GateCopyright 2019 Dominic DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe What the son is taught: “Life's an arena where one's soul is tested. Must keep a daily audit of one's soul's state of grace. If Heaven's near at hand, Hell's even handier! Must give a daily prayer for all at stake.” Son: And I said “Oh, yeah!” Parent: “Keep your guard up, son! Never trust no one!” Son: And I said “Oh, yeah!” Parent: “Keep your mouth shut, son! You ain't The Chosen One!” What the son is taught: “Life's a procedure where one's skills are tested. Must keep a daily schedule of all the things to take place. If destitution's at hand, a gun's even handier! Must play the cards we're dealt and do what it takes.” Son: “Oh, I had a vision!!! Now, I'm a man on a mission!!!” What the son is taught: “Life's a battlefield where all wills are tested. Must keep control of all the pieces that come into play. If a threat's at hand, an attack's even handier! Must maintain control and keep all the others in place.” Son: And I said “Oh, yeah!” Parent: “Keep your guard up, son! Never trust no one!” Son: And I said “Oh, yeah!” Parent: “Keep your mouth shut, son! You ain't The Chosen One!” What the son finally realizes: “Life's an enigma where all fools are bested. Must take a foolish mind to think it's made sense of this place. If the truth’s readily at hand, a fool's even handier! (We) must find the proof, ourselves, or prove it's a fake.” Son: “Oh, Revelation!!! Oh, is obfuscation!!!”

Colorful ChildCopyright 2019 Dominic DiNardo and Matthew Alan Rowe You can say that "We're okay." And you can pray that it's true, what ya say. Brick us up inside your walls, But when the building falls, What will you do then? How many times will you put yourself through this??? Secrets safe from everyone, But when we're all said and done, What will you do then? How many times will you put yourself through this??? And you know it's always on your mind, that something you don't want to say. And it's better left unsaid 'Cause I already know I can't stay!!!!!! Now, push on towards happier days!
