Like a God and Goddess 03:17
lyrics

I've heard of a place far away They say it's lit by heaven's grace Across a bad land, devil days Take my hand, hold it tight We'll be chased through the dark night Through the mud, through the fight To the garden, to the bliss Where the angels grant your wish To live like a god and goddess Paradise is the promise To live like a god and goddess A feast, no one can stop it To live like a god and goddess I'll feed you the grapes, wine and cake Pressed to your lips, the sweetest taste It's worth the hard fought, battle days Take our chance, go tonight Hellhound race to the white light Through the howl, through the cries To the garden, to the bliss Where the angels grant your wish To live like a god and goddess Paradise is the promise To live like a god and goddess A feast, no one can stop it To live like a god and goddess To live like a god and goddess Paradise is the promise To live like a god and goddess A feast, no one can stop it To live like a god and goddess

We Swirl a Cyclone 03:03

I ride a spell cast on the night Ride my wish come to life Maybe it's desert voodoo Bewitching me, lying next to you I'm the air and you're the land I blow my wind, pick up your sand We swirl a cyclone, round and round Clear a path through evil ground We swirl a cyclone, round and round We swirl a cyclone, tear it down Clear a path out of this devil town We gather strength, we make our break Busting loose, we escape Racing and dodging mesas It's you and me, flying fast and free I'm the air and you're the land I blow my wind, pick up your sand I'm the air and you're the land I blow my wind, pick up your sand We swirl a cyclone, round and round Clear a path through evil ground We swirl a cyclone, round and round We swirl a cyclone, tear it down Clear a path out of this devil town

Shine in My Mirage 03:53

Out here in the wild Seeing things, I think it's you Spirit on the bluff Shadows I've been talking to Dreaming of your skin so soft Your bliss, I almost touch Your vision, it's shimmering And dancing on the dust So come on, come to me and shine in my mirage Come be my magic, be my desert charm We'll climb the mesa, touch the moon, ride on shooting stars Our fire lighting up the sand brilliant in the dark Come on, come to me and shine in my mirage Come on, come to me and shine in my mirage We'll build our oasis Hidden by the tumbleweeds Playing with the coyote Splashing in the canyon creek Turquoise jewels and gold dust hair Beneath an endless sky Your look is euphoria You've got me mesmerized So come on, come to me and shine in my mirage Come be my magic, be my desert charm We'll climb the mesa, touch the moon, ride on shooting stars Our fire lighting up the sand brilliant in the dark Come on, come to me and shine in my mirage Come on, come to me and shine in my mirage

King of the Dust 03:08

It's forever we've been in this drought Everybody keeps bailing out I see visions, they look fine Tell me to stay, take this place, make it mine Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust Take it and shape it and conquer the sun Dig up the jewels, grab the gold rush Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust Build my castle out there in that heat Grow my garden lush, sweet to eat Make a kingdom come alive Push it high, spread it wide, make it rise Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust Take it and shape it and conquer the sun Dig up the jewels, grab the gold rush Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust BREAK Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust Take it and shape it and conquer the sun Dig up the jewels, grab the gold rush Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust Take it and shape it and conquer the sun Dig up the jewels, grab the gold rush Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust Take it and shape it and conquer the sun Dig up the jewels, grab the gold rush Stand on the sand, be the king of the dust

about

In June 2019, among other artists, I was asked to write a theme song for a new TV show. My co-writer and I wrote the song (Like a God and Goddess) in 4 days. I finished recording and producing it 3 days later. They liked it and put it on their list of songs to consider. I did not get that gig but it put me on a path to create more songs I love (Gothic Americana Rock and Medieval Rock). Here they are on this EP. They all have escape, badland, desert, mystical, supernatural themes and there's usually a woman involved. Listen and you can have a vision, swirl a cyclone, shine in a mirage, live like a god and goddess and be the king of the dust.
