'ol Ben Boe

only echoes long dead can be heard tonight, not candy, nor music can still the fright! your friends you hold close and never let go or you might be next to join 'Ol Ben Boe! across the seas above the stars answers we seek from far away Mars! so, if by chance you live 'till tomorrow your life long-lived and true thank 'Ol Ben Boe I waved to him standing next to you!

I felt the presence, man, such a genius to put him inside my consciousness beside me, such a talent to scare the hell out of the frail. Peace and love
