Millennium Foghorn © 1999 Henry Stopher, ℗ 2018 Millennium Foghorn Music 1. I hear you all talk / pretend you're so tough Will you crumble or crack / when the going gets rough? You think it's terrible now / it could be much worse There's not much time / left to get out / from under this curse 2. The mental environment / shot through with hate and fear It's so hard to take / so pretend you're not here Until the curtain is drawn / you create your fate Unless you let someone else / run your life / until it's too late 3. There's people talking to themselves / ignored and passed by Insanity at all levels / under a dirty blue sky Chemicals in everything / greed in control Chameleon enemies / attack your body / not to mention your soul 4. Advantage is taken / and deception ensnares Your mind's on the movies / your life vanishes into thin air Call the darkness light / and famine a feast Pretend you're all right / ignore the deafening howl / of the Beast * * * 5. And so as I'm painting / this portrait of hell I remember where I'm from / as I bid you farewell Life drowning in a whirlpool / deep trouble somehow What can we do ? Only something totally unexpected / can save us now Save us now / Save us now / Save us now / Save us now /

On Our Own 03:07

On Our Own © 1999 Henry Stopher, ℗ 2018 Millennium Foghorn Music Will you come again? They say you said you would Well, God knows when, or even if you should They say that you went out walking on the sea Are we all alone? Are we on our own? Well, little sad-eyed boys and girls Sweet and sour and sad old world A single ship sailing on the starry sea Are we all alone? Are we on our own? [instrumental] And some have faith, some have doubt Some accept fate, some wait to find out Some seek the truth, some know . . . wrong! Some just sing for the sake of the song I have paid my dues to the dark night of the soul Are we all alone? Are we on our own? God is real, but cannot be seen Silence is the song God sings The light pours out from the lighthouse by the sea Are we all alone? Are we on our own?

We Have Been Gone © 1999 Henry Stopher, ℗ 2018 Millennium Foghorn Music 1. The Khan made a levy, posted through the land: Each man me give a night with his wife. If of this a man do not think he can, Give me then his son for a knife. 2. Green is the country in the early spring; All through the land there runs a rage... How does the Khan think summer will begin? When his law and his fate come of age. 3. Me being sixteen, my heart was beyond rule-- A lot o' my friends felt the same. What can you do when you are treated so cruel And expected to be so tame? 4. The Khan is in hiding, the court it is in flight; Half of our great city burned! Shadows of strangers flicker through our night; Some say dragons have returned. 5. [instrumental verse] 6. We have been gone, for long and many years, Gathering these holes in our sack: Pleasure and pride, laughter and fears-- Now we are coming back.

Prayers 01:39

Prayers © 1999 Henry Stopher, ℗ 2018 Millennium Foghorn Music You call yourself religious / I wonder what God calls you Do you remember when you thought I was so outrageous-- and disgusting and vile? You'd lock your door when you saw me on the street. You didn't speak to me for quite a while. In fact you washed your hands of the whole affair: When I was poor and crazy, homeless and lonely-- hungry and thirsty: You didn't care. You call yourself religious, I wonder what God calls you Go climb your stairs Go say your prayers Hope that you're talking to someone who cares Go climb your stairs Go say your prayers Hope that you're talking to someone who . . .

David 04:27
lyrics

David © 1999 Henry Stopher, ℗ 2018 Millennium Foghorn Music David was the youngest son of Jesse the Bethlehemite. He was the one who guarded the sheep, by day and by night. David's father said, "Go bring your brothers something to eat." David came down from the mountain, in time to hear Goliath speak. Goliath was a giant man of the Philistine camp; He issued this challenge to Israel, "Send me out your champ." David walked down to the creek, and picked out five smooth stones. He said, "The Lord anointed me last week, so I know I'm not alone." When he saw David walk out that day, on the battlefield, Goliath said, "What have you done, Israel? You send a little boy to be killed." David said, "I have killed the bears and the lions, while guarding my flock. "You no problem to me, you big ol' giant, me and God, and my little rock." David slung out his first stone, and hit Goliath in the head; He ran over and, with Goliath's own sword, he killed that giant dead; and he cut off his head. [instrumental] So take heed, my friends; be sure, never fear. The Lord will help you fight a righteous fight, He'll always be near.

Turn the Page © 1999 Henry Stopher, ℗ 2018 Millennium Foghorn Music 1. Another day / has come into / this time frame and each of us / gets something new / we call the same but you, my love, / I thought you knew / we are a flame 2. Another day / we come and go / like chips on the sea and though I know / somehow we're one / it's a mystery as one by one / we lead our lives / like falling trees BRIDGE I thought we came to turn the page The time was ripe for the new age Life could not live inside a cage where nothing is what it seems now it seems it was a dream * * * It was a dream, they say it's through It was a dream, dreams can come true and we can make it happen yet Millions of us who won't forget We're not done yet, it ain't over yet 3. Another day / has come and gone / somewhat like the rest and in your heart / I want you to know / that you are blessed The setting sun / has filled the dawn / with emptiness The setting sun / has filled the dawn / with emptiness

Disappearing Act © 1999 Henry Stopher, ℗ 2018 Millennium Foghorn Music I hear the telephone / I'm sitting here alone Don't want to talk / with even you Nothing is very near All my plans have failed / all my wishes, too I didn't make a mark in life / I didn't have a clue BRIDGE They're singing in the street and wishing all good cheer Too stubborn to give in / too lucky to win It's all too clear / my race is run I don't know why I'm here All my dreams were dreams / my life a silly game There'll be no eulogy or epitaph They'll just rub out my name BRIDGE They're singing in the street and wishing all good cheer They're singing to the king while I disappear
