Cross-section of lyrics for Aylon's Bucket List,
by Alan Ewing
I never really knew your ways
As you hid within a maze
Looking for transcendent glow
For the answer I would know
Keeping in my heart special days
Figure out what angel says
Twist and turn, all back to front
Keeping on as I must
Is the space so empty now?
With no heir to the throne?
Just shadows from the past
Am I so all alone?
For what is life without the soul
The one who makes you whole
The garden gate opens wide
And there she is, my bride-child
It's so political
So analytical
When you move right
My left is my word
Put it to a vote
Float my boat
For you in my life
To mean trouble & strife
Here's the new manifesto
So quick hey presto!
It’s no longer self-rule
A showdown duel
It’s so political
The way you talk
So propositional
Hand-in-hand we walk
Sad, sad sad day
When you went away
Wish there was another way
So you could have stayed
It seemed we'd always be together
The years and years like forever
Taking the times in our stride
Now those years have gone to hide
Sad, sad day ...
And in the end you'll pay the price
For losing love, not once, but twice
The arrow of love drives into you
And there ain't nothing you can do
Sad, sad day ...
SOMEBODY
a lyric by Alan Ewing
Chorus
And if somebody
Brought love back to you
And that somebody
Always would be true
And can somebody
Really come through
Not like somebody
Who leaves you cold and blue
Verse 1
There was a time I lived in need
When it seemed to me
I needed a hand
From someone who believed
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2
Then came a place
When it seemed to me
That I had a gift
To go out there and set others free
Repeat Chorus
Carry On
a lyric by Alan Ewing
I pitch this looking for a new start
Because hereafter we must part
When you gave yourself to him
Threw away what could have been
Carry On: as you like
Carry On: out of sight
You are not the person that I thought to be
Seeking to inflict pain and hurt on me
Treating me as a fool rather than a friend
It got so bad that I brought it to an end
Yours always if you had seen and believed
Too busy with gratification for you to see
And so we part no longer even friends
A sad tale has been brought to an end
Carry on: in your way
Carry on: on another day
Conspiracy Theorist
a lyric by Alan Ewing
I’m a conspiracy theorist
If you get my gist
Spend my days spreading memes
If you get my drift
Don’t believe the news
Just believe in me
I’ll fill your mind
With some conspiracy
Get all my facts straight
Within my own world
Gonna give you the whole truth
The best you’ve heard
I have worked it all out
What they’re gonna do
I’ll tell you right now
Then it’s up to you
Entity
a lyric by Alan Ewing
Deep within your heart
Comes the call of your Creator
Far within your soul
The essence of your Maker
Lonely in a troubled night
It is God who hears your call
Troubled at the approaching dawn
Such Entity shines a Light
The Kingdom is never far away
For it lives in you here and now
Heaven reveals its gateway
As in the seeds you plough
The search for an answer
Is here for you to see
All is revealed in time
When you just exist and be
THE STONE REJECTED
a lyric by Alan Ewing
(with reference to Mark 12 1-11; Psalm 118:22)
Sorrows never will be drowned
No one will push you to the ground
Love will rise again I promise you that
We’ll never bow upon their mat
Time is the factor that heals the wounds
Evil has no victory it is doomed
So don’t give in to it’s ways
For The Good Lord shall have His Day
The stone rejected
Has now become a rock
Truly strong and majestic
They shall no longer mock
Sit and wait for the Omega factor
While working out the meaning of Alpha
Start the fight with spiritual prowl
For you know the time is now
Put your trust in God above
If they push then give a shove
Like Job persist all the way
Never allow your faith to sway
The stone rejected
Has now become a rock
Truly strong and majestic
They shall no longer mock
Take on your arm a shield
And to their toll you must not yield
Hold in your hand a sword
And in your soul obey Natural Law
It’s over it’s falling and that’s The Truth
No longer will they pervert the youth
In days of old The Prophets did see
That God’s People would be free
Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing
a lyric by Alan Ewing
Here you come in imitation of Jesus’ walk
Like a prophet from Hell with your lying talk
Your political lies reveal your true intentions
Sickly hypocrisy with the poor not mentioned
Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing
Consider all of the rot
Life of your own choosing
Within the devil’s lot
Vile nature pours out from your turgid soul
The triumph of evil lauded as your goal
Venomous hatred from your every pore
Gates of Hell open as you walk through the door
Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing
Consider all of the rot
Life of your own choosing
Within the devil’s lot
Your satanic presence leaves stench and rot
Spite, jealousy, maliciousness being your lot
Foul demonic rage is the fruit of your tree
The roots of evil are so evident to see
Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing
Consider all of the rot
Life of your own choosing
Within the devil’s lot
Well, there she was
A knocking on my door
I couldn’t believe my eyes
As my ears hit the floor
She came from Mid-State
Lived on the west coast
She wore her hair straight
Champagne was her toast
Then she stepped into the room
Her presence would shake your boots
Rock n’ Roll all night long
Because music was in her roots
Well, you listen to her all night long
And your senses are all over the place
You really are stuck on her
‘Cause she moves with such grace
BROKEN GEM
a lyric by Alan Ewing
I’ve been thinking it over
But I’ve not yet come to terms
My feelings are like a Supernova
I feel them turn and turn
You took a ride at my expense
And dropped the ticket in my lap
Then you say in your defence
That you read me like a map
Did you have to take it and break it
The gem that we had found
Now you’ll have to fake it and make it
The false love that will abound
Is it me who takes the blame
For what you can’t achieve
It could now never be the same
Because I am not so naive
So who is going to play the fool
Who’s going to provide the laughter
Who will smile and keep their cool
From this moment hereafter
Did you have to take it and break it
The gem that we had found
Now you’ll have to fake it and make it
The false love that will abound
I’ll take on new horizons
And make some new plans
It’s a new horse that I’m ridin'
A new beach with its sands
So keep looking over your shoulder
For what might be in reserve
You just got colder and colder
You really have a nerve
Did you have to take it and break it
The gem that we had found
Now you’ll have to fake it and make it
The false love that will abound
(a lyric for a lost friend in life}
by Alan Ewing
You never really wanted the help that I gave
Blank reversion to the pattern of your ways
I offered love and friendship as a basic cure
All that you wanted were the familiar days
I tried all I could to bring you back to your soul
But the never ending addiction proved stronger
The years of slavery enhanced the dragon's goal
It came to a point where I could help no longer
And so I hope that all turns out well for you
That seeds of impression planted find a way
For sometimes we pass through, that's true
To hold a light that emerges on another day
I could have taken you on the stage to sing
I could have given you all and everything
I could have made your voice oh so loud
If only you had not gone back to the crowd
Looking for inspiration – day after day
In this world – clear thinking today
Seeking the spirit within - in mountain streams
Turning nightmares around into wonderful dreams
No icons for sure – you see what you get
That is The Way – that things are set
Feel Spirit’s influence – each and every day
We listen for Your Words – and all that they say
Born for all ages – in your rightful place
Saving us all – with such loving Grace
Life lived with Love – You taught The Way
Caring for others – listen to what they say
Guiding Light – there for all to see
