A War of Words
a trijan refrain
Demagogues fighting in a war
spar to find the liars.
Though it generates some rapport,
toleration backfires.
Demagogues lose in false debate.
Speak up, strive to keep the facts straight,
demagogues, fight!
Demagogues' fight
hopefully ends in Truth’s checkmate.
Demagogues fighting for their lives
honesty clears their names.
Distorted data only drives

The Trijan Refrain
Forgotten in my hurried quest
with forms of every kind
is that this is one of the best
all 'round you'll ever find.
Just try it once, then you will know
a refrain sets your mind aglow.
Just try it once,
Just try it once -
You'll wear it often, just for show!

Night Promise, a Trijan Refrain
Sweet fortune sent love on the run
as fate has proved this night,
the stars can’t change what has begun
time tells what’s wrong or right.
Though winds may blow, a heart burns true
and faith still holds though storm may brew,
though winds may blow
though winds may blow,
what has been done none can undo.
Sweet fortune sent love on the run
swear

I Will Not Fear the Silent Night (Trijan Refrain)
I will not fear the silent night
alone below the moon
or winter’s cold approaching bite-
the sting that comes too soon.
I’ll wrap my heart in Summer’s song
And sing to keep my passion strong
I’ll wrap my heart
I’ll wrap my heart
And hope that frost won’t linger long.
I will not mourn the silent night
or raging of the sea,
the frothy

Bringing Autumn (Trijan Refrain)
Come dance with me, my winged escape
and skip the skies in flight
we’ll let the wind lick at our nape
and subtle touch invite.
Our cares we’ll toss to milky moon
and resonate our silky tune-
our cares we’ll toss
our cares we’ll toss
in freedom’s

The Dance of Life (Trijan Refrain)
From winter’s death comes spring’s new life,
when day equals the night.
The Lord returns to seek His wife,
our Goddess of light.
And breezes stir as life renews
across the land in vibrant hues,
and breezes stir,
and breezes stir,
the blossoming springtime views.
The dance of life, of stems and stalks
emerging from the land.
So life returns where Nature walks
and leaves Her loving

Triple Moon (Trijan Refrain)
Oh Maiden Moon, who gave my eyes,
in visions of a child,
the innocently whispered sighs
to keep my temper mild.
With waxing love, I saw you grow
the Goddess maid, of all I know,
with waxing love,
with waxing love,
a world of light you gently show.
Oh Mother Moon, who took my hand
and nurtured in my soul
the will to work and understand
in

This Shade of Silence (Trijan Refrain)
This shade of silence withers me
and prunes me back to white,
a near dead branch upon a tree
cast into long-bright nights.
The sun deceives, His face aglow
abreast the earth entombed with snow
the sun deceives
the sun deceives
the earth and everything below.
This shade of silence withers me,
a wound upon my soul
while Winter reigns o'er all that be
abandoned in the

These Winter Weeds, They Come Alive (Trijan Refrain)
These winter weeds, they come alive
and seep in through my pores,
they dig through flesh, they dwell inside
and multiply by scores.
As vines lay bare 'round garden run
I curse the weakness of the sun
as vines lay bare
as vines lay bare
infectious shivers come undone.
These winter weeds, they come alive
and stretch from dusk to dawn-
perennial shadows, how

Gates of Ivory and Horn (Trijan Refrain)
My sanity is stalked by dreams,
that catch behind my eyes
where light is scarce and I can't see
what's prophecy and lie.
The darkness comes, my heart forewarns,
through gates of Ivory and Horn
the darkness comes
the darkness comes
alive with empty, lightless storms.
My sanity is stalked by dreams,
of Gods with dripping wings
the edge of disappointment seems
to follow these twin
