Black Plague or Orwell or No Vision

A disease from the past

Rats were the first origin

Its wreckage great and vast

Against it there’s no win

Vision is quickly lost

We stumble on blindly

With great human life cost

Does not treat us kindly

CHORUS:

The Black Plague Renewed

Corruption it spewed

Orwell warned us all

This will be our fall

All ask for sights return

Look to leaders for hope

They’re lost in the cavern

In the darkness they grope

No one sees the future

Blackness is all that grows

Eating those with power

Laid down in even rows

CHORUS

Light was still to be seen

This plague we planned to rid

On this thought we were keen

We would find the pot’s lid

The search did start off quick

Little luck these men had

The disease we must lick

What we saw was not glad

CHORUS (2x)

Bizarre

BIZARRE or KNICK KNACK

The last dance to attend

Prior feelings to mend

Sort of ready to end

Reality to bend

CHORUS:

A dance gone whack

Of strange no lack

Bizarre knick-knack

No going back

Hippies under a tree

Bonsai it looked to me

More weirdness awaits thee

Said my best friend Lee

Pyrotechnics inside

By a pool with a tide

No dance to be denied

Lee still had never lied

CHORUS

A love triangle that’s new

Cows there just for their moo

Synchronized swimming too

What wasn’t there to do?

‘Edmund Fitzgerald’ dude

Good thing no one was nude

The DJ was not booed

A great time sure ensued

CHORUS

A huge game of Red Rover

It could be heard in Dover

Too quick it was over

Never more fun with her

CHORUS (2x)

Kamikaze Bird

Swooping from the rooftops

Diving at the shadows

Avoiding all the cops

Dealing out the death blows

(CHORUS)

Into battle he flies

His loins he did gird

No worries if he dies

He’s Kamikaze Bird

Tying his head band

Protecting his honor

Leaving his home land

Coming at you like a bomber

CHORUS

Soaring through the skies

Guarding his borders

Awaiting his demise

Watching out for burglars

Flapping his great wings

Seeking his poor prey

Doing deeds for kings

Living day by day

CHORUS

Ruling all the air

Helping those in need

Saving his own mayor

Begging to just bleed

Diving from above

Causing his great death

Doing it for love

Taking his last breath

CHORUS (2x)

Be Safe

Walk like a duck, do not slip

Use hand rails, when using stairs

If your hands are in your pockets you’ll trip

You’ll get pink gloves, they come in pairs

No screwdrivers without proper training

Stop work is called, you’re flustered

Don’t use the ladder either, you’ll be crying

Everything has requirements before your trained

Be Safe Beeeeee Safe

Guard Against man eating machines

Be safe Beeeeee Safe

Safety haunts my day dreams

Remember hand safety and stress hands

Safe crane operation is uplifting

Someone needs to come free these bands

Wait! No one has proper training

One safe act will lead to another

That’s what the sign reads

Why start? It’ll be a big bother

More safety is just what it needs

Don’t forget JDLR- who could?

Just Doesn’t Look Right- ingrained

Said so much it’s there past should

Helps keep safe- but only when trained

CHORUS

And I Forgot The Words

I got up on stage

The bright lights on my face

People looking- like I’m in a cage

Suddenly one swings a large mace

I begin to remember

I continue with the song

People about to dismember

I won’t last very long

CHORUS: And I forgot the words

The words are no longer there

They flew from my mind like birds

And no one seemed to care

It’s a good thing I played jazz

I learned how to improvise

So now I can make up pizazz

And still look in your eyes

The song is long gone

What was once there is no more

Like a freshly mowed lawn

Strewn all over, a great big chore

CHORUS

The crowd is confused

What just happened?

‘He’s lost it’ one mused

This show was poorly captained

It comes to a close

It lived a life all it’s own

Running all over like a cold nose

In the distance there is a moan

CHORUS (2x)

The Hill on Which I Stood

 They call me a rebel
A cowboy that breaks rules
This may be my farewell
I will defeat these fools

 Outcast by my people
I had fought for the right
Thrown from my own castle
I strove to find the light

 The hill on which I stand
All things come to an end
On this hill I was banned
Some would call it legend

 Years I lived in secret
Waiting for the right time
My path had long been set
Lost to Fate’s every whim

 No vict’ry could be seen
A glorious defeat
Feeling strangely serene
There would be no retreat

The hill on which I stand
All things come to an end
On this hill I was banned
Some would call it legend

 The enemy will fear
I’ll strike hard at their hearts
But for those I held dear
The wounds my blade imparts

 The end I now see clear
This tunnel’s light I found
Do not cry, instead cheer
By no chains am I bound

 The hill on which I stood
All things came to an end
Fighting for the great good
Some now call me legend

 The hill on which I stood
All things came to an end
Fighting for the great good
Some now call me legend
