about

All Hallows' Eve came from watching 'Nawlins' flood from Katrina's tears half a world away, news flying in on the airwaves like fresh assaults, while on the ground, “...the kingdom starts dying feeling it's been had, fashion is a poser as a biker clad,apocalypse a tattooed fad...”

lyrics

All Hallows' Eve

A chopped off head in a necktie noose
Telling me all hell’s breaking loose
Not a hair out of place on his plastic-coated head
Reporting people I don’t even know want me dead
The president of the world has a billion arms
He clamors for more claims he can’t do enough harm
So this year for Halloween I’ll only lock my door.

Whole big cities now haunted houses
Their fates been seen fleeing down dead end street buses
Blackwater’s called in though flood waters recede
There’s hope that the saints’ll come marching in
Bring the cities back to life again
But they’re sequestered in a silver hall, and told play ball

Chorus:
Don't the man on the street these days seems strange
Though he says wants money all he needs is change
His numbers grow steady with every monied-heave
Every day, to him, must seem just like
All hallows' eve, All hallows' eve, all hallows' eve, all hollows' eve

Science takes the podium has to have its say
Says the planet will be dead now any day
All the preachers leer in an “I told you so way.”
The kingdom starts dying feeling it’s been had
Fashion is a poser as a biker clad
Apocalypse a tattooed fad

There’s hope in a dead man returning with a strut
Millions everyday eat his body drink his blood
While the high priests desire young boy stud
So this year’s costume for Halloween
We’re already wearing it just needs dry cleaned
So this year for Halloween I’ll only lock my door

Sometimes it takes traveling far from home to find out where one comes from... after combing the world for signs of the sacred among paths of the profane, Sonofmel returns with fistfuls of chords wrapped up in verse that declare though trouble never starves, somewhere high above the maladies of modern man, the sky is still as blue as when Adam first kissed Eve... ... more
