3:15 The Moment Of Truth
04:25
|
|||
|
And there’s a moment in time
That was captured deep in your mind
When you can turn to me and belong to something we could find
While we were running for the land of innocence and make believe
But what could anybody say to make it all seem okay
But I will be with you
And you will expect me down the line
Can we begin to understand the great reveal
And you will believe me
And we will transcend this final day
Cause there’s nothing in this world that could ever take me away
Oh God it’s 3:15 and it’s the moment of truth

In this moment of a great reprieve
That fits you like a summer sleeve
Don’t even lament yesterday
Just sing with me and let us pray
For the ones whose own existence precludes the basic knowing
There’s more to life than witchcraft
To seek eternal logos
We started all the fires
Ignite every heart to the last
These mountains are a palish green
But brushfires all I’ve ever seen
These mountains are a palish green
But brushfires all I’ve ever seen
Do you believe that this is all from a spark
You wanted to follow
You wanted to follow every hiding hillside
So we are

Bronx Lotta Finale

This is the endgame
Come walk behind me
They call me Shannon and I am the hunted
This is the endgame
Come walk behind me
You can try and catch me but I belong to the night
I shadow your fright
While I mess with George Eastman’s light
The hunter is caged
My history’s stained
I’ll never surrender to your insane demands
Cause you feel it
Like the endgame is real
But the ending is only just the beginning
Because this final fight
This epic night
You waited your whole life is so cruel
God annihilated everything I ever loved and now he’s annihilating me
God have mercy

Once upon sometime in a rain cloud
We were the resurrected dead out of Eden
Speed into this sweet spring in its colour
This is our one ascension day we’re running for cover
I believe in you
Cause happiness is easy
It’s such a shame
It’s you
Does Caroline know
To call in the night boys
Renee
Today
Have you heard the news
Give it all time
It’s time
Life’s what you make it
Living in another world

I’m on the late shift
It’s a skate drift
I never wanted to be left behind
I’m on the late shift
It’s a light switch
These feels are looking for a place to hide
I’m on the late shift
It’s a fate lift
I never wanted to be left behind
I’m on the late shift
It’s the right switch
These evening feelings are a late night ride
Are
And we are
Just like everyone knows that this feeling is holding you up
And we see
In the absolute knowing
The heart starts it’s showing
For everyone in here
Is overcome by fear
Never again will I be Ghouls And Ghosts
Everyone in here
Is always so sincere
Never again will I be Ghouls And Ghosts
I’m on the late shift
It’s a skate drift
I never wanted to be left behind
I’m on the late shift
It’s a light switch
These feels are looking for a place to hide
I’m on the late shift
It’s a fate lift
I never wanted to be left behind
I’m on the late shift
It’s the right switch
These evening feelings are a late night ride
Are
And we are
Just like everyone knows that this feeling is holding you up
And we see
In the absolute knowing
The heart starts it’s showing
For everyone in here
Is always so sincere
Never again will I be Altered Beasts
Everyone in here
Is always so sincere
Never again will I be Altered Beasts

And the time feels right to watch that part in Shocking Asia
After Faces of Death and Gates of Hell
The shit don’t phase ya
Watching Asians eating monkey brains
Yeah that’s truly shocking
But that Vic Morrow Twilight Zone helicopter footage is shocking
I never wanted to be alone
I never wanted to feel like you’d been here
And the time feels right to watch that part in Shocking Asia
After Faces of Death and Gates of Hell
The shit don’t phase ya
Watching Asians eating monkey brains
Yeah that’s truly shocking
But that Vic Morrow Twilight Zone helicopter footage is shocking

If reality’s faults are bringing you down
And you can’t escape from where you’re found
Don’t believe in yesterday’s clowns
It’s just a lie
And if you’re thrown away with yesterday’s news
Don’t betray what you’ll never use
Just prepare to be abused tomorrow

I was in Dealey Plaza
Under the triple overpass
I have become the phantom
You can even have my autograph
I was the great pretender
And if you could turn back time
I am your dark suspicion
The hand that draws the line
Now we’re in Angola
High above
Bringer of death and return
For you have always been so deceived
And a need to know
That ghouls don’t exist
Anymore
Not anymore
Can you keep a secret
Can you keep a secret
Left on your own time
Left on your own time
You’ll never believe us
You’ll never believe us
No matter who you are

We Are In Warfare

Don’t even feel like
We are in warfare
If your head is in my head
Don’t you feel it in my head
Don’t you feel in the back of your mind
That they’re setting you up
Don’t you feel in the back of your mind
That they’re setting you up
Is that all that you got
Is that all that you got
You got this feeling of treason
Before the winter is freezing
But you can’t even see
Just how they made you play
But you’re gone you’re gone until the judgment day
Don’t even feel like
We are in warfare
If your head is in my head
Don’t you feel it in my head
Don’t you feel in the back of your mind
That they’re setting you up
Don’t you feel in the back of your mind
That they’re setting you up
Is that all that you got

When you were my Woody Hayes
I was Art Schlichter
Getting wasted in Reynoldsburg
Follow the leader
I work swing shift at the King Kwik man
Maybe on Friday
Don’t believe everything you read
All magazine sales are final
Even if you’re nine
Even if you didn’t know
Even if you don’t care
Believe me
God I know it’s a lie
I can’t keep quiet

Don’t believe what you hear
I was a phantom before you were haunted
I don’t leave nothing to chance
My introduction was never as vaunted
You say we must be reborn
My energy was the moment we fell down
I could love you forever
But there is nothing to replace God’s grace
I wish you weren’t so upset
Last night I dreamt that I could live a billion
I could live a billion years
Don’t believe what you hear
I was a phantom before you were haunted
I don’t leave nothing to chance
My introduction was never as vaunted
You say we must be reborn
My energy was the moment we fell down
I could love you forever
But there is nothing to replace God’s grace
Last night I dreamt of a halo
Last night I dreamt that a halo was falling
I could dream a billion years
Never mind
Left to shine
Everything’s alright
Never mind
Left to shine
Everything’s alright
Never mind
Left to shine
Everything’s alright

It was modern times
Back in 1986
When I felt just like a phantom
Don’t take another step
Unless you’re prepared to put on Color Blind Jam
But I don’t wanna hear about all the endless degrees
Of Praise to the end of Ourselves
So throw on some Soulforce Revolution
It’s time to embrace the beginning of it all
Then they set it up for other bands to follow paths laid down by Kevin
And it took a Uniform Choice and Dag Nasty into the mix
I wanna listen to Trouble Is now
I wanna listen to Trouble Is now
But there’s Dark Days Coming
For Staring At The Sun
It’s a New Day Rising
Or just one more for the fire

Hidden Thunderdomes
07:35
|
|||
|
This is something about where I’ve been hiding
When storms would take out the dark
And why are you just imagining this
For you refused to take part
This is something about all that lightning
And how it never strikes twice
But if only a story you held inside wasn’t following you
For every hidden thundercloud became my shroud
It isn’t through
We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we need is someone who tell us how
We can find our hidden thunderdomes
But now my heart is so free
I praise the day the shadows would care for me
And there was this lightning
Even though I could see
Holding you
But now my heart is so free
I changed my name
But you weren’t even looking for me
And there was this lightning
Even though I could see
Over you
But now my heart is so free
I praise the day that Jesus could care for me
And there was this lightning
Even though I could see
Over you

Doleful Lions Chicago, Illinois
Doleful Lions are one the great lost bands of modern times, its not an under achiever thing rather more that they’ve been constantly overlooked in favour of ensembles, fads and fashions less musically astute and considerably less talented, always occupying their own little orbit shying away from the various bandwagons that have come passing them by - Mark Barton (The Sunday Experience) ... more
Doleful Lions recommends:
Save For A Rainy Day
by Jan & Dean
The first twee pop album from November 1966. I listened to this a lot when I wrote and recorded Song Cyclops.

Cry All The Time
by Impulsive Hearts
My favorite Chicago release so far this year. Blurry 60s girl group songs with tons of emotion. Favorite song EXODUS EVENING COMPANY.

Driving On Redline / 3000 Miles And Counting
by Cinco de Gatos
My mid nineties band has reformed!

The members of Big Slice rubbed shoulders with Britpop legends like Suede & Echobelly—no surprise when you hear their radiant, hooky songs.

Market, from Melbourne, fuse soul and chillwave on a wonderfully woozy song with rubbery guitars & breathy harmonies.

An easy-to-love combination of emo and jangle pop, the first full album from Spirit Night in eight years feels bathed in a golden glow.
