Seed Ov Nothing
R.L.Gillis

Nothing is the way it used to be
Ever since you turned to look at me
I’d like to think your wink is erotic
But I’m not quite that quixotic.

Why’d you tell me you would be my bride?
When you took your vows you must have lied.
Cuz you don’t give a damn about true lovin’
You just want my Dog in your Oven

I bet you thought you’d catch me unawares
But I can hear you creeping up my stairs
The rhythm of love is so exotic
Its enough to make a sane man turn psychotic

You lied and cried ‘there’s no one after me’
And then you tried to use witchcraft on me
But I’m not gonna join their cult or your coven
I just want my Dog in your Oven.

The Tod Song
P.Ossy

I smell the roses, the graveyard is near
Two thousand paces, I now feel the fear
Why do these people just stand there and stare?
A demon moves through them and still they don’t care.

I hope you’ll stay with me here
My madness won’t hurt you since my logic is clear
Do I upset you when I speak with the dead?
I think that there’s danger ahead.

The gate is open, the doorway is clear
The journey’s over, do I see a tear
Dig that hole deeper so no one will know
That I’m locked in the shadows, with nowhere to go.

I hope you won’t walk away
My visions won’t hurt you they have nothing to say
I see you standing with flower in hand
I know that I must leave this land.

The priest is leaving, I don’t hear a sound
Only the silence is moving around
How could this happen, no warning at all
Where are the angels, why don’t they call?

I hope you’ll banish this dream
My stare won’t hurt you, but I hear you scream
Cold and dark winter the snow will descend
I hope that this is the end.

Gateway Arch
R.L.Gillis

Open the gate and let me in
I can’t wait to be within
Your confines, your perfume
You’re divine, like the womb.

I got my scars too long to tell
I plot the stars, I know them well
I made my wish, and “I” was done
The rush of bliss, I’m overcome.

Out of steam on these rails
The grinding wheels, the vapor trails
The letters flow, I put them in
They stop and go, on paper thin

Look around, no look and see!
What are you saying, next to me?
What are you bringing to the feast?
Beauty is singing to her Beast.

In the cage, rattletrap
My hometown is painted black
I got the blues over you
I begged my muse what to do

She replied with a grin
Open them wide, and let me in.

The River
R.L.Gillis

The river’s rushin, I can’t get across
The flow is crushin, and my nerve is lost.
The world’s a prison that I can’t escape
I take the hammer, and try to change.
I smash illusions, and my mirror too
Open the window, and let in the blue
I found no solace between these walls
My tears are flowin’ like waterfalls.

The river’s flowin’ from paradise
The chill is blowin’, it turns to ice
My motion frozen, immobilized;
The Path I’ve chosen is memorized
It bent so softly below the trees
It gently offered the slow release
Now there’s no laughter, here in my heart
I’ve seen disaster, since we’re apart.

The River’s runnin’, the sun is red
The dawn is comin’ to wake the dead
The cryin’ spirits, that sound Toots Sweet
The inspiration is strikin’ me.
I wake and wonder, just how you feel
The clap of thunder, like bells that peal
Their tortured voices, callin’ your name
There are no choices, it’s all the same.

The Old Silk Road
R.L.Gillis

I sold the slaves – Constantinople
Around the graves – I drew a circle
I sold the jewels to all the dancers
I asked the rules; they had no answers.

The Silken Road – that’s where we traveled
Carried the load – Tower of Babel
Too many tongues I can’t decipher
You leave your young right there beside her.

Bury the gold, with all the spices
Deep in a hole, then you disguise it.
The prostitutes they seem so willing
Oh what they’ll do, just for a shilling.

You light the punk, the smoke is rising
You see the monks, on the horizon
Their begging bowls are filled with slaughter
They take your soul, you take their daughters.

The master comes, demanding silence
They beat the drums with all their violence
The curtain falls, no word is spoken
The raven calls, the night is broken.

Dance Eva Dance
R.L.Gillis

There was a night so vast and full of stars
That the explosion rent the fabric
Of the lonely watcher below.
And in the treeless waste of the curving dunes
The distance increased between the one and the other.

Sliding through fingers that helplessly grasp
At a fragment of time, a glimmer of light,
No answer to the question that hung in the air,
And disappeared into the night.
And I waited, and I wondered, as the voice of the wind
Took my last breath away and extinguished the day
And I lit a great fire for the camp
For tonight we celebrate and we dance with the snake
And the dawn is not far away
The dawn is not far away.

I lit a great fire for the camp
To cleanse it and keep it alive
Till the blood was absorbed, and the triangle gone
And the spirits had vanished again.
I relied on them once, and I saw in the flames
The illusion of Fire and Water
My thoughts were but flickers, my Reason a lie
And I searched for a snake I could dance with.

We dance in our folly ‘neath a blanket of stars
That glow in the dark like a child’s plaything
We laugh at the Gods as we dare to embark
On a journey that takes us in circles.
In the bliss of the moment, we cannot believe
Our paces will not be remembered.
The sands will be shifting, the waters receding
Our thirst will increase by the hour.

But onward we dance for we must celebrate
And Eva will charm the slithering Snake
And the dawn is not far away.

Rosy Cross
R.L.Gillis

I guess I got to live but how can I forgive
Everything you’ve done with your Other One?
Everything you say changes day-to-day
Your rationality is invisible to me

You hide the Truth, you dyed your roots.

I’m ready for the tomb, I hope I make it soon
I got the Rosy Cross, I’m sufferin’ the loss
I don’t understand, you canceled all the plans
The tapes are all erased, and I’m so out of place

You hide the Truth, you dyed your roots.

Even though it’s hard, I’ll draw another card
Even though I’m burned, I’ll take another turn
I got the Six of Disks, I calculate the risks
Of cleaning up the mess that’s covering Success.

You know I’d rather die, than listen to your lies
Every other day you’re changin’ what you say
You burned the Rosy Cross, and you don’t give a toss
And I can see the end, I lost another friend.

You hide the Truth, you dyed your roots.

Gimme That Beat
E.Gillis

You slipped on a shingle
I’m digging a well
Just when it hurts.

Overtake and underrate,
She’s held together with crinoline

The hill is hollow
The hill is hollow

My compass is pointing to a map

How many jars does it take?

Can we end this home
Can we end this home?

Slicked back heart attack
It smells so lonely in here.

I can’t breathe,
Where’s my bottle of hydroxygen?
Hydroxygen! Hydroxygen!

Slip it, slip it, slip it

Leave the switch alone
Leave the switch alone
Leave the switch alone
Leave the switch alone

I told you!!!

Syrinx in Vain
R.L.Gillis

Oh – I breathe
Through a broken reed.

O my god!
How I loved you from afar
I drew near
And you fled away into fear.

Oh – I breathe
Through a broken reed.

I gave chase,
And I finally found your trace
As I feared,
You had nearly disappeared.

Oh – I breathe
Through a broken reed.

Now I rave
At the site of your watery grave
And I wait
For the night to make my escape.

Oh – I breathe
Through a broken reed.

I am Pan.
I am more than a mortal man.
Ah but Death!
I can only offer a breath.

Oh – I breathe
Through a broken reed.

Pan Atomic X
E. Gillis

I found my way to something new
Gonna be there in a spinning flash
I’ll give you all that you wanna do
I just hope you got the cash.
Come on, my way, come on.

Always on the outside looking in
Don’t open your window no more
I feel my chances are pretty slim
You always slam the door oh no!
Come on, my way, come on.

You’re tellin’ me that you’re gonna be mine
Just take back whatever you give
I’ll fall into the back of the line
I want the fruit but you forbid
Come on, my way, come on.

Gonna pack my case, cuz you set me free
You couldn’t even tell me why
I’ll think about you at a quarter to 3
Have a drink and a heavy sigh
Come on, my way, come on

Next time you find somethin’ new
Take a look at the lines in my face
You might see something that looks like you
Let it die without a trace
Without a trace
Not a trace

Babylon-Live
P. Ossy

I see a Bonapartist,
I think she’s after me.
She says her name is Ivan
She says she’ll set me free.
I give her drugs and liquor
She gives me honesty
If I could slay her Dragon,
I’m sure she’d marry --- somebody.

Lazarus! Lazarus?…

Blue-Lidded Daughter
R.L.Gillis

Did you drink of the water of the loveliness?
Blue-lidded daughter, damsel in distress.
I received your message, it said nothing’s known
How quiet is the power behind your throne.

I had the arms to hold you so close to me
You forgot what I told you, you have no memory
And now the Main Attraction is done at last
Too many imperfections to cloud our past

See the Lord of Strength and Silence
Become like a child
When his Word is finally whispered
The virgin is defiled
By his double wand of power
He moves like Mercury
With a message from the heavens…
There is no misery.

Sophia
R.L.Gillis/E.Gillis

Well we took our chances
And we tossed the dice
And we heaped the altar
With our sacrifice.

And we wore the jewels
And we burnt perfumes
And we kept the secrets hidden
In our empty room.

I gave you time to change your story
Make your mind up fast
You just had to steal my glory
Oh I know this can’t last.

My thoughts don’t seem to matter
While you re-work the plans
I’m at the top of the ladder,
You are nowhere man.

In the naked brilliance
Of the night-sky
See the daughter of sunset
In splendour and pride

See her way out…
Is your way in
Her figure by the window,
A body without Sin.

She brings her wisdom
In the hour of need
I call Sophia
A moon that bleeds

Congo Tribesman Mask
R.L.Gillis

The word of creation
Sacred in his language
Passed down by word of mouth

Congo tribesman’s mask
In the throat is the womb
The womb of the Word
In the neck, in the neck

Flow in time Flow
Flow in time with it
Flow in time with it
In the mouth of the cave
In the third eye
Rarefied
The third harmonic.

Lady of the Sycamore House
R.L.Gillis

In the perfumed air
He recites the prayer:

Hail! Great Mother
Thy birth is not uncovered.

Hail! Great Goddess
Within the doubly-hidden underworld
Thou Unknown One.

Sebastian
P.Ossy

Lazarus?…
Lord, it has been four days now
Surely there will be a stench!
Lazarus, come forth!

Look and stare
Cause the ghost is here and it’s a scare
Kneel, confess,
That your drunken song is the deadliest
Listen and hear,
The magickal words of another year
Run, and hide
And realize that the singer lied

Run to the sky and run to the sea
But you can’t get away from me.
I conquered a king and I butchered a Queen
The play goes on, but its my scene
Call out the guard, and call the High Priest
For these are the ones that I fear the least.

He looked her right in the eye
And she saw why
Cause there was no question
She had her moment of joy
With a fleshy boy
That I call Sebastian

Give me our love and give me your hate
But your philosophy, it has to wait
Tell me a word, tell me a lie
And ask me the reason why
The angel said, “you’re no longer dead,
But it’s a silly fate that you create’
You’re such a fool, stuck in your Muse
Give it up, you wanna lose?

Run to the sky and run to the sea
But you can’t get away from me.
I conquered a king and I butchered a Queen
The play goes on, but its my scene
Call out the guard, and call the High Priest
For these are the ones that I fear the least.

He looked her right in the eye
And she saw why
Cause there was no question
She had her moment of joy
With a fleshy boy
That I call Sebastian.

Catalyst: Cats In The Well

Album lyrics

Led Blimp

R. Leo Gillis

I don't waste time

wonderin' what you do with your voodoo

I don't taste wine

From your lips the venom drips

the bootleg poison

pour a little faster for your master

Incense noisome

I'm trackin' the scent, I'm a little bent

By vicious rumours

They're turning the tide against your side

malignant tumours

are spreading their seeds in time of need

His name is Legion

for they are many, leave a penny

Charon's regions

A nominal fee to set you free.

In your grasp strikes the asp

Thunder loosed from the noose.

The laughter ringing

Through the halls and off the walls

the vulture is singing

and spreads his plumes amid the fumes

arising, inspiring

the oracle that she unfolds

by writhing and firing

the furnace for the burnished idol

Folly is certain

the Undefined, it hides behind

the velvet curtain

lifts a little in the middle

Serpent Wonder

you reach the portal, you're immortal

Love is under

a glamour spell, you know it well

In your grasp hold the asp

Thunder loosed from the noose.

The razor margin

of victory you're lost at sea

The neighbors barge in,

they heard the screams that split the seams

the Whiskey Rebellion

they took the bait and can't get straight

Not one in a million

can crack the safe and get away

like you do, there's no clue

what you're thinking, I've been sinking

Quagmire of Doom

the gravity attracting me

my bootheels trample

down the heathen, disbelievin'

nothing's simple

oh never mind, I'll never find her.

In my grasp I hold the asp

the lightning loosed I drink the juice.

Stones of Precious Water

R. Leo Gillis

See the stones of precious water

On the sky-blue-lidded daughter

Every facet is a rare beauty

Like a kiss from lips of red ruby.

Mother of emerald and of pale turquoise

Steals the whole world from the pale sad boys

As they're floating in her evening sky

Flecks of gold in lapis lazuli.

With a necklace made of blue sapphires

She's too reckless with her true desires

A hint of danger in her jade-green eyes

Every day there is a new disguise.

Walkin' the Plank

R. Leo Gillis

I'm walkin' the plank, I'm walkin' the plank for you

there's no one to thank, there's no one to thank but you

my ship it just sank, my ship it just sank for you

it fell in the tank, it fell in the tank of blue

I'm thinnin' the ranks, I'm thinnin' the ranks a few

I'm gonna get yanked, I'm gonna get yanked for you

I'm drawin' a blank, I'm drawin' a blank on you

I'm walkin’ the plank, I'm walkin’ the plank for you

walkin' the plank, I'm walkin' the plank for you

there's no one to thank, there's no one to thank but you

I've broken the bank and emptied the tank for you

my heart it just sank, I'm drawin' a blank on you

I'm walkin' the plank, I'm walkin' the plank for you

there's no one to thank, there's no one to thank but you

the poison I drank, the poison I drank for you

is fillin' my tank, its fillin' my tank with blue

I'm turnin’ the crank, I'm turnin’ the crank for you

I'm breakin’ the bank, I'm breakin’ the bank for you

I emptied my tank, I emptied my tank for you

I'm drawin' a blank, I'm drawin' a blank on you

I'm walkin' the plank, I'm walkin' the plank for you

there's no one to thank, there's no one to thank but you

I'm breakin the bank, I emptied the tank for you

my heart it just sank, I'm drawin' a blank on you

I'm walkin' the plank, I'm walkin the plank for you

there's no one to thank, there's no one to thank but you

I finally sank, I finally sank for you.

I've broken the bank and emptied the tank for you

My heart it just sank, I'm drawin' a blank on you

I'm walkin' the plank, I'm walkin' the plank for you

there's no one to thank, there's no one to thank but you

they're rushin’ my flank, they're rushin’ my flank it's true

they're bringin’ a tank, they're bringin’ a tank or two

I'm turnin’ the crank, I'm turnin’ the crank anew

I'm firin' blanks, I'm firin' blanks at you

I'm tellin' you frank, I'm tellin' you true

I'm walkin' the plank, I'm walkin' the plank for you.

None and Two

R. Leo Gillis

Breathed the light, none and two

In your eyes, me and you

None concealed, none is known

Nu revealed where I've grown.

None and two breathed the light,

Had and Nu share delight.

On the road, at the fence

There unknown waits a friend

with a seal for your lip

And unreal on that trip

Past the sea, where she wed

'Come to me' is what she said.

Seven Wonders

R. Leo Gillis

Lazily, hungrily, ardently, patiently

i await you

The mirror broke on the day we met

Seven years so unfortunate

Seventh son of a Seventh son

I used to be such a lucky one

Seven veils that Salome wore

every one ends up on the floor

how she dances so dreamily --

can you guess what she wants from me?

Lazily, hungrily, ardently, patiently

i await you

Seven steps on the pyramid

where she found everything I hid

Seven wonders she showed to me --

all but one toppled to the sea.

Seven seas never turned the tide

count the reasons she hurt my pride

Seven sins that i can't repent

Seven hills, is that where she went?

Lazily, hungrily, ardently, patiently

i await you

Seven sisters are in the sky

they don't sing me a lullaby

Seven ravens are on my roof:

basic black, and the hidden truth

Seven days 'til I take my rest

Seven leagues in a single step

I know she roamed seven continents

Seven days, she'll be home again.

Iguana's Second Lament

Paul Henry Ossy

What a way to start the day

My baby said she's goin' away

i really can't believe my ears

She melts away through my tears

Once i thought i was in love

i whispered it to the stars above

i spoke to her a thousand rhymes

We lived alone in celestial climes

And then she spoke to me in words of silence

And her eyes did close and left me blind.

And her memory faded painfully

'cause the imprint was just too strong, and

Comfort did the shadows bring

And mournful did the angels sing

Her face i began not to know

And little did I feel my woe

And now she's on the other side of the fence

I was a second too late, and that made all the difference

So i turned away, though i wanted to stay

But my feet just moved me on and on

What a way to start the day

My baby said she's goin' away

i really can't believe my ears

She melts away through my tears

Rollaway

R. Leo Gillis

I wrote you a note on the 4th of July

i waited a lifetime for you to reply.

You waited too long to deliver the mail;

it finally came in the teeth of the gale.

the storm it was ragin’ in the city below,

they packed up the tents in the traveling show.

they're goin' upriver to look at the Queen

they're rollin' the dice and they're makin' the scene.

You're weavin’ a web and you're callin’ the shots

the price that you're askin’ is more than I got

I'm paintin’ the town and I'm makin' my mark

A portrait of her that i did in the dark

she's haughty and nice as she sits on her throne

she's giving a glance that can cut to the bone

i'm turnin’ my back but i see in the glass

the right is the left, and the present is past.

i took out your note and i read it again

A tumble of words from beginning to end

i tore it to shreds and i threw it away

There's not enough words...

and there's too much to say.

I Can’t Get Close

R. Leo Gillis

I love her more than any other

but I can't get close

when she looks into the mirror

does she see my ghost?

She's a river, maid of shadows

her waves are rolling in

I see her figure by the window

A body without sin.

She wears a mask of green and scarlet

but I can see her eyes,

when her seas are finally parted

by the magick cries.

She holds a candle to the present

and sees the amber glare

piercing through the mist of moments

with her empty stare.

When the carriage comes around

to take her to the church

I'll draw a circle and kneel down

and sing a vacant verse.

She wears the crown and feels the glory

she's the Queen of May

at the wedding ceremony

Celebration Day

Hark! The Fallen Angel Sings

R. Leo Gillis

Hark! the fallen angel sings

And dips his mighty-sweeping wings

The Earth is turning into green

Rejoice, rejoice exceedingly.

He bids you not turn from your ways

A kiss, the bridal feast is laid

By him no sacrifice is asked

He's hidden underneath a mask.

Lay down your head before the Lord

Expect the sweeping of the sword

Only those who fear shall fail

To raise their lips unto the Grail

Heart of Babalon

R. Leo Gillis

Deep within the eye of the hurricane

Daughter of the sky in her domain

We paddle the canoe down the Amazon

Back into the blue heart of Babalon.

Waitin' for supplies in a border town

Feedin' me lies, i can't keep 'em down.

Paddle the canoe up the Amazon

Back into the blue heart of Babalon.

Danger in the air just around the bend

Another victim there at the bitter end

Natives in the trees blowin' on their guns

The victim never sees the killer as it comes

Deep within the eye of the hurricane

Daughter of the sky is in her domain

Takin' the canoe along the Amazon

Back into the blue heart of Babalon.

The Chariot

R. Leo Gillis

i don't see the idols that i have to pray to

You don't need the spice of Life i gave you

In your demise i see no reason

You're in disguise, hanging for treason

i don't see your breath foggin' the mirror

i know your death is drawin' nearer

And when it's here, will you be grateful

for all the Dear that you were faithful to?

i can't hear the sentence you're tryin' to whisper

she's over the fence and I'm dyin' to kiss her

i need the release she's coming to offer

i'm down on my knees to fill up her coffer.

Creatures

R. Leo Gillis

Creatures are standing in a line

Cobwebs are on the grand design

Vultures are circling their kill

They won't rest until they've had their fill.

The windows have been painted shut

The waves are beginnin' to get rough

Emotions are goin' to explode

Fragments are scattered on the road.

You see through me like you've got x-rays

Your silence is deafening these days

i wake up and wonder who you are

Your makeup it covers every scar.

Wind whistles through the attic loft

Young lovers tryin' to get off

Steampipes are knockin' out the beat

There's gunfire on the whole damn street

There's no compassion for the mortal men

There's no mercy in the lion's den

The cold blood is pouring out in streams

The two lovers flooded by their dreams.

The tired man in his rockin' chair

He keeps movin' but he gets nowhere

His grandchildren take an acid bath

And see visions of the garden path.

The millstone has ground us to a halt

The artworks are hidden in the vault

The answers are on computer chips

You speak out and the alarms are tripped.

The dust settles on our satin sheets

The rose petals fallin' at our feet

The empires never seem to last

We need hope, and we need it fast.

Beast and the Beauty

R. Leo Gillis

I can hear

the Lion roaring in his den

waiting for

the Lioness to come again

she was gone,

out to stalk another prey

running on,

to the mountains far away.

underneath

the trees arising from the plain

all she sees,

hypnotizing like the rain

just a jewel,

the world is turning in the deep

the waters cool,

the sun is turning, lovers leap.

the Lioness,

she was crafty, worldly-wise

her loneliness

only lasting for a time

she attacks,

watch her pull her victim down

the throat is slashed,

she takes a life on killing ground.

the Lioness,

in her splendour re-entered

dripping blood

as her love was surrendered

deep the night,

strong the light inside the cave

strength and sight,

how his life will now be saved.

the Lion felt

her heartbeat penetrate to his own

the rhythm was like thunder,

his love was home

now in the void,

the mysterious can be seen,

"Lust, enjoy,

all things rapturous unto Me."

None and Two, breathed the light.

Had and Nu share delight.

Breathed the light, none and two.

shared delight, me and you.

To Mr. Jones

R. Leo Gillis

God's out on the golf course, he's shooting a few holes

There's gurus on the nail-beds, and walking over coals

There's freaks and preacher, teachers,

And some monks with begging bowls

And none of them have got a single clue

There's all these givers, takers, and shakers on the move

Frantic panting sycophants who've got something to prove

There's walking wounded in the streets, their needle skipped a groove

And none of them have got a single clue.

O where are all the city walls that stopped the infidel?

And where are all the cannon balls that sent them back to hell?

And where are all the men of Gaul who fought and bravely fell?

All they did was what they had to do...for you.

Well god's still on the back nine, he's shooting under par

The earthlings sent a telescope to see the furthest star

And somewhere someone's slippin' off the stool next to the bar

And even God ain't got a single clue

'cause he's busy trying to make a hole-in-two

The mystics and the magic men, with all their sacrifice

Have killed the goose that laid the egg of gold in paradise

And Einstein was just kidding, 'cause God does play at dice

And maybe he's just easily amused

But none of us have got a single clue...do you?

Gasoline's Explosive

Paul Henry Ossy

Time bomb in my head, it's ticking

Mess with me and it'll go off.

Rattlesnake in my head, it's deadly

Mess with me and it'll bite you.

Gasoline's Explosive...but so am I.

Charlie Manson's my friend, my buddy

Mess with me and he'll get you

Psycho in my head, he's laughing

Look at me and he'll get you too

Gasoline's Explosive...but so am I.

Dynamite in my head, the fuse is burning

Mess with me and it'll go off

Magnum in my head, it's loaded

Mess with me, you got a death wish

Gasoline's Explosive...but so am I.
