Isis

SOS my ship has been boarded
Takin on by those who are sordid

It still carries our flag
They also have a hag

One that knows whitchcraft and sorcery
Appearing as our own
They carry our embroidery
And are made not of flesh and bone

But are the sons of him the other
They will look like a brother
Trickery and deceit are their marks,
Trust them not, neither they nor their larks

I fear that one day when push comes to shove
All this ISIS fuss
Is putting on the stand my religion, my love
What if they come to be known as us

SOS my ship has been boarded
Takin on by those who are sordid

We speak of honour, peace, equality for all men
They would not even respect a hen

Beloved

Hello, how are you
I am fine, and you
Towering over high
I see a bride

What do you think 
Of those who do not
When honour is linked,
And cannot be bought

How do we free it
If it is so
That so many need it
Is but a woe

But thou have it near
From afar I have heard
As Thou art dear
Silent of word

And keep thy silence
Oh honoured geust
Lest it blow,
And many a bow

Strike the matches
Of a hungered soul
Who could not but wait
At thy present fate

A cold mistless night
When the sun is out of sight
To climb the mountain at this hour
Pick a flower for they honour

Would thy accept I wonder?
To let go of the honours, dreams and dye
To cast asunder
The decorative bye and sigh

To let go of the honours
That such a tale intales
And live free of the world
That hath honoured thy hand...

Yaba Daba Do

Here we sit, in a fair
By and by round a table
All in all without a care
Like a baby in his cradle

Longears asks us how do we do
The world is screaming but we
Do fine as rabble dabble do
Most of us know not but he

Knows most of us, what to do
When fire strikes, or rain falls
Like a cascade on the crew,
Or on the rabbits in their halls
Shouting "yaba daba do"
