Just over your head...

There's a battle raging in the heavenly realms,
a sinister chess game for slovenly souls
Look up! Look sharp! Protect your person...
There are spirits around will oblige for certain
bartering market for unconscious minds
"they're dead in the water, so why not oblige?",
say the evil contenders, amassing a throng.
Draw your sword it's time for action
tension rising in opposing factions
be the light against the dark
Your silent arrows hit the mark
Stealthy, knowing, healthy, glowing
be prepared and wisdom friend,
be brave and fearless, nearing end
Times are changing fast

Metal Ox

I would rather be an ox than a monkey in the tree

I’d rather have a steadfast base with some stability

There’s more to say for growing old with gentle repartee

Than a monkey on my back, playing tricks on me

Hey ho Monkey off you go to war

Hey ho Monkey I’d rather be a bore

I want peace for all it’s worth and I don’t think it’s wrong

Spread some love, hug some hugs and sing a happy song

Hear a laugh and an honest cry with a shoulder good and strong

Leap in joy for all you’re worth and sound your deepest gong

Hey ho Monkey off you go to war

Hey ho Monkey I’d rather be a bore

I would rather be an ox than a monkey in the tree

I’d rather have a steadfast base with some stability

There’s more to say for growing old with gentle repartee

Than a monkey on my back, playing tricks on me
