30 Minutes To Go 04:08
lyrics
Title: 30 Minutes To Go Words & Music By: Rick Denzien, Ethan Freckleton, Mike McLaughlin Verse 1: 30 minutes to save my soul snake bite burn’n out of control Poison coursing through my veins Never knew nothing that felt this strange Bleed the burden to ease the pain Nobody here left to blame Feeling light headed blurry lines Won’t be long before I’m blind Chorus: It’s too soon to fade to black It’s too late to bring her back It’s too soon to lose my sight It’s too late to make it right Got to stop the clock some how I need absolution now Time is running out – to save my soul 30 minutes to go Verse 2: Left her body back at the camp Funny how karma leaves it’s stamp I found her lying with that snake Her lips were blue she would not wake Leaving her alone big mistake A choice for her I can’t unmake Ran to her side and I knelt down The fangs sunk in our fate was bound Chorus: Bridge: Dm, Am I’m feeling guilty as hell Left my daughter alone It’s all my fault I never anticipated C, B, A Stupid argument – now she’s dead on the ground No more peace to be found F, G Got 30 minutes to go – 30 minutes to go – 30 minutes to go…..

Dream That Far 03:31
lyrics
Dream That Far Words & Music By: Denzien, Quirk, O’Reilly, Lee We’re going round and round again The battle lines are drawn Backed into our corners Where this contest can’t be won We are waiting for the warning bell to ring Like two fighters who are losing everything Maybe you were right I been losing heart And up all night Reaching out to the stars Touching nothing but air I wish that we could find our way You know that we have come so far If we could only dream Together we can dream that far We lost the spark that brought us love, so many days gone by the fire of our passion dying right before our eyes We are holding on with nothing left to show We can’t get it back but still won’t let it go Can we climb to the heights? With so much wrong And too little right I don’t want to fight To get along I wish that we could find our way You know that we have come so far If we could only dream Together we can dream If we could only dream that far Instead of fighting who we are we’d ignite the fire in our hearts again We are waiting for the warning bell to ring Like two fighters who are losing everything We can climb to the heights Take what’s wrong and make it right cause I don’t want to fight To get along I know that we can find our way You know that we have come so far If we could only dream Together we can dream that far Yeah together we can dream that far - Dream that far - Dream that far - Dream that far © MMVIII Slot One Entertainment, Inc.

Exotic Berry 03:18
lyrics
Exotic Berry Words & Music by: Law Blank, Rick Denzien, Hal Cohen, Debra Lee Delicate little one - growing ripe under the sun Teasing Me upon the vine - the morning frost covers her Rebuffs me every time Chorus: Says she hates being alone - destroys my comfort zone Well she will always be - EXOTIC BERRY This bitter craven is so cruel – my prisoned mind is such a fool It’s got me twisted up inside - try not to show it on Show it on - on the outside Chorus 2: Says she hates being alone - destroys my comfort zone Well she will always be - EXOTIC BERRY - EXOTIC BERRY Bridge: This morning light - looks so good on you My senses yearn - to taste your ripened fruit First Morning Dew - Drops smile for you My body aches – Tri painted hue – won’t pass on you Quiet rain fell on the roof each droplet begging me for proof That what could spoil would ever be The happiness I feel only when you’re next to me Chorus 3: Says she hates being alone - destroys my comfort zone Well she will always be Leaves me shaken in the wind. Wish I could let her in, I got to let her in because she sets me free EXOTIC BERRY - EXOTIC BERRY- EXOTIC BERRY- EXOTIC BERRY © MMVII – Slot One Entertainment, Inc.- ASCAP All Rights Reserved

Southern Rain Words & Music By: Rick Denzien, Alan Bennett, Jim Carolan Southern rain fall on me Take this heart and wash it clean Troubled times are all I've known Lord, I feel so far from home Do you know the end is near Do you cry Heaven's tears Are you sent from His great hand To lead me to His promised land Chorus: 'Cause i'm knocking on the devil's door and i've been here before i'm not sure this time i can walk away 'cause he's promised bridges of gold only you can save my soul SOLO: All year long I work your land Raisin' corn with these two hands Hear my prayer, my desperate call If you still care for me at all Chorus 2: Southern rain fall on me Take this heart and wash it clean Troubled times are all I've known Lord, I feel so far from home © MMXVII Slot One Entertainment, Inc.

Green Sky 04:07
lyrics
GREEN SKY Words By: Z Mulls, , Rick Denzien,, Debra Lee Music By Rick Denzien VERSE 1 & 2: Albuquerque’s wondering where the hell I’ve gone Tryin’ to clear things in my head pressure getting so extreme, too much tension too much steam That’s what I thought, that’s what I said That’s what I thought, that’s what I said Second guessing why this desert Leads me on wind is kicking up my doubt sky is changing everywhere static crackles through the air Thunder roll in there’s no way out This wind is colder than that kiss I never seen a storm like this CHORUS: I see a Green Sky comin’ On the run but I can’t hide I see a Green Sky comin’ Who will I be if I sur vive … if I sur vive [last time] Tumblin’ round – caught in the tide will I die – my world collides VERSE 3 Isolation seemed like such a good idea Be the master of my fate easy answers don’t exist nature hammers down her fist Trying to run but it’s too late There is a truth that I must face This storm has put in my place BRIDGE: Where do you go when the sky turns green Is It a sign what does it mean? I got turn a round if the wind dies down CHORUS: I see a Green Sky comin’ On the run but I can’t hide I see a Green Sky comin’ Who will I be if I sur vive … if I sur vive [last time] Tumblin’ round – caught in the tide will I die – my world collides © MMIX – Slot One Entertainment, Inc.

about

GREEN SKY
One does not need to believe in climate change in order to understand the poisoning of the Earth. Consider this thought experiment. Gas car in a closed garage our depressed person starts up the atmosphere converter immediately changing the chemical composition of the air in the garage. Hypothetically, how long will our patient survive? It could be 10 - 20 minutes, but this person will die for absolute certain. This is a granular small scale example, but that is exactly what humankind is doing to our common limited atmosphere. There are those that want everyone to have clean air which will not harm life on the planet and those who are polluting even profiting from spoiling the atmosphere for everyone.
Which type of person do you want to be?
