Unstoppable force
Meets immovable object
And who am I to argue
The more things change
The more they stay the same
But the story never dies
The story never dies
The story never dies
Unless we bury it alive
No, the story never dies
The story never dies
The story never dies
Unless we bury it alive
The story never dies
The story never dies
The story never dies
Unless we bury it
Bury it alive

It used to be so simple
No road map to guide
We never stopped dancing
To keep romancing
Sweet dreams of the past
Will create the future
Building tomorrow
Nevers seems to stop
But we keep on dancing
Never stop dancing
Sweet dreams of the past
Nourishing the future
Please keep dreaming with me
Please keep dreaming with me
Please keep dreaming with me
Here we are
Tomorrow is now
Together we found a way
To never stop dreaming
To keep on dancing
Sweet dreams of the past
Create our every future
Please keep dreaming with me
Please keep dreaming with me
Please keep dreaming with me

We walk the same street
But you don’t see me
Stuck in your own world
You’re walking alone
Tell yourself comforting lies
To help pass the time
Creating illusions
So you don’t have to try
Where exiles’ll cower
The unwashed’ll shower
Echo chamber views
Feed minds of fools
Caught your earbud buzz
On a sunny day walk
With the words being said
And the nod of your head
We don’t feel the same
About who’s to blame
For the worry and woe
Who’s a friend or a foe
Come with me
I want to make you believe
In anything
In the power of tomorrow
There will be
Another day to save
If we walk together
On the way to the grave

A Dichotomy Paradox
03:15
|
|||
|
Ground control is off the grid
And now there’s no one coming in
I’m flying solo again
I don’t know how I’ll make it home
Some say you can never
Get there again
One way or another
Guess I’m flying in
I’m too far away
I’m too far away
I’m too far away to care
Crashing too fast to stop now
Can’t stop til I hit the ground
Flying fast and coming in hot
Should have died
But here we are
I don’t know how I’ll make it home
Flying bind and all alone
One way or another
I’m coming in
There’s time enough
To find a way
To change
The way things used to be
There’s time enough
For love, for life
To find a way
Time never runs out
When you’ve run so far
One way or another
I’ll make it back someday
Time will lead me
Time will bring me
Back to where
I need to be
One way or another
I’ll make it back
Someday
If I can find a way
To make it through today

My girl’s so groovy
She likes scary movies
She don’t go out
On a full moon night
So we stay in my room
And hide from the light
She says to me
We can fool around
But I gotta rewind the tape
I’m wound up so tight
But she said it’s alright
Daddy knows she long gone
Til the sun is high
She says to me
We can fool around
But I gotta rewind the tape
She only wants
To watch the freaky stuff
Until it’s on
I look but don’t touch
Put on her favorite slasher
She threw me on the mattress
She says to me
We can fool around
But I gotta rewind the tape
Covered me up with hickeys
Good lord it made me sickly
Trip to the hospital
Won’t cure me of what I got
She says to me
We can fool around
But I gotta rewind the tape

Peregrination Song

Anywhere you go I’ll follow you
Where you are I’ll be there too
Chasing moonbeams chasing stars
I will roam wherever you are
The road is long but we will go
On the paths the moonlight shows
We will wander through the night
Bathed in the glow of starlight
Where you go I’ll follow you
Where you are I’ll be there too
Chasing moonbeams chasing stars
I will roam wherever you are
Well I’m not scared of anything
As long as you are close to me
Over mountains over streams
I’ll run through fire if you run with me
The stars will tell us where we are
If the road ahead is away and far
Wanderlust it’ll have to be
A house isn’t home without you and me
Where you go I’ll follow you
Where you are I’ll be there too
Chasing moonbeams chasing stars
I will roam wherever you are
Anywhere you go I’ll follow you
Every place you are I’ll be there too
And I’m not scared of anything
As long as you are close to me
I’ll run through fire if you run with me
Across the world and across the seas
The sky’s our map to seek our dreams
I’ll know I’m home if you’re next to me
Where you go I’ll follow you
Where you are I’ll be there too
Chasing moonbeams chasing stars
I will roam wherever you are

A Poltical Primer

It’s a long hot century
And the finger’s on the button
And the enemies list
Just keeps on growing
Colonized by the corporate state
Divided and conquered in
Gated communities
They build those walls
And criminalize
Massive retaliation
Covers up all the lies
And we’re all illegals
In the shock and awe police state
Gluttons of privilege
Making profits on full prisons
Public office is a public trust
But who can you trust
Who can you trust
Follow the money
To the little tin boxes
Obey the religion
Of the gloom and doom prophets
We’re all illegals
In the shock and awe police state
And shadow government
Has a finger on the button
Public office is a public trust
But who can you trust
Who can you trust
Public office is a public trust
But who can you trust
Who can you trust

Let's Go (Hero Song)
03:46
|

Let’s pretend
We can save the world
Just for a little while
Let’s go on a journey
And save the day
Villains align
In castles on mountains
Plotting from far above
Save the princess
Capture the castle
Nullify evil powers and guns
Hobbits and pirates
Space captains
And princesses
Cowboys and mutants with capes
Let’s all save the day
We can live without fear
If we join as one
The dark side waits
In shadows and light
Biding time to corrupt
But we’re watching
And we are prepared
To disarm and disrupt
We sail and fly
And march and ride in
We’re coming to let love win
We’ll fight together
With powers of
Light and love
Hobbits and pirates
Space captains
And princesses
Cowboys and mutants with capes
Let’s all save the day
We can live without fear
If we fight as one
We won’t let them get away today
We won’t let them get away today
We won’t let them get away today
We’re all heroes
At least for a while
For just a moment in time
We can shine

For a charm of powerful trouble
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble
Double double toil and trouble
Fire burn and caldron bubble
Cool it with a baboon’s blood
Then the charm is firm and good
The happy man today
Is the man at the front
Your courage your cheerfulness
Your resolution
Will bring us victory
Destroy this mad brute
It is far better
To face the bullets
Than to be killed
At home by a bomb
Double double toil and trouble
Fire burn and caldron bubble
Fillet of a fenny snake
In the caldron boil and bake
Eye of newt and toe of frog
Wool of bat and tongue of dog
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting
Lizard’s leg and howler’s wing
Rally round the flag
Every fit man wanted
This simple faith
Has made America great
Out damn’d spot
Out I say
One two why then tis time to do it
Hell is murky fie my lord fie
A soldier and afeard
What need we fear who knows it
When none can call us to accompt
Yet who would have thought the old man
To have had so much blood in him

It comes as no surprise
We're dropping like flies
We're all compromised
By their pack of lies
Red State
Blue State
Fuck me
Fuck you State x 4
Writing's on the wall
The empire's in control
Will you fall in line
Will you wake up in time
Red State
Blue State
Fuck me
Fuck you State x 4
Step up
And speak out
Against fascist lies
Take back your power
And reclaim our lives
Don't be surprised
When your dreams disappear
Taking control
By controlling your fears
Time's up and time's out
We see through your lies
Dystopian nightmares
Don't stay paralyzed
Red State
Blue State
Fuck me
Fuck you State x 4
It's time to rise up
And fight for our lives
Nothing will change
If we don't fucking try
It's time to rise up
And fight for our lives
Nothing will change
If we don't fucking try

Nraakors Iowa City, Iowa
Nraakors is the brainchild of James Kasper, Joseph Norman, and Gigi Macabre. Their music includes aspects of grunge, prog, noise rock, thrash metal, jazz fusion, folk, neoclassical, and free improv. The result is a bit like the composers; weird, a little roughhewn, somewhat sentimental, and equal parts sardonic and sincere. ... more
