1.	Perished by Poseidon 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Came an adversity in from the coast Took people off guard to those outermost Terror to them was the sea To find higher ground from the tsunami Engulfing bridges to places remote Rapidly turning their houses to boats Water along with debris is claiming the land's territory Waves like horses forms a stampede Bringing salvation to its knees Waves like horses forms a stampede With the merciless ruler of the seas Water pouring through the amphitheatre Corinthian columns collapsed together Tremors push sea to shore Submerging the temple to the sea floor Waves like horses forms a stampede Bringing salvation to its knees Waves like horses forms a stampede With the merciless ruler of the seas Ceased by the ocean Perished by Poseidon Waves like horses forms a stampede Bringing salvation to its knees Waves like horses forms a stampede With the merciless ruler of the seas Ceased by the ocean Perished by Poseidon
2.	A Mano, A Mano 03:28	lyrics	buy track
Held back, found myself drawn into combat The quick reaction made to attack, to counteract To those who oppose me Disputes no alternative to this route Me against them with the same aim to put mute Whoever's before me Like Jason's pure bravery seeking the golden fleece As he tamed two fire breathing bulls on a killing spree Conquer, either or my days are numbered In reflection I must therefore go onward For it is my duty Like Jason's pure bravery seeking the golden fleece As he tamed two fire breathing bulls on a killing spree A mano, a mano, mano, a mano Like Jason's pure bravery seeking the golden fleece As he tamed two fire breathing bulls on a killing spree Jason's pure bravery seeking the golden fleece As he tamed two fire breathing bulls on a killing spree
3.	Hercules, Son of the Deity! 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Hercules, son of the deity. The common place is a fool from grace Where sanity seems to come unlaced I found myself dropped to the mercy I'm just a meek with chronic fatigue Defeat eats you after you're made mince meat Where attempts are all futile Looks like a job for summoning my alter ego A transformation as and when to be super human Like Hercules, son of the deity The tarot cards have me on my guard Where the moon means an uncertain path An atheist that resorts to prayer Finding my circle to hard to square Subdued, beaten by the wrath of villainy Unleashing the final resort I beckon my inner self to be my saviour A sorcery that guarantees super abilities Like Hercules, son of the deity Become the mighty demi god In your hour of need Stacked up against the odds Become the mighty demi god In your hour of need Stacked up against the odds Become the mighty demi god In your hour of need Stacked up against the odds Become the mighty demi god In your hour of need Stacked up against the odds Become the mighty demi god In your hour of need Stacked up against the odds Confronting scary beasts Without being clawed Hercules, son of the deity! A King maneuvers forward a space Checked by a pawn, who then ends the chase Rather a pawn, who can holds his own More than a king cornered and dethroned Defeat eats you after you're made mince meat Where attempts are all futile Looks like a job for summoning my alter ego A transformation as and when to be super human Like Hercules, son of the deity!
4.	Moira 06:39	lyrics	buy track
Black cat uncanny Superstitiously crossing me Threatened by the cause of witchery Cracked slabs of concrete Only step on ones seen complete Walking in a manner disorderly Prearranged behind the scenes These bad omens are put here deliberately By some underlying cause for devilry As coincidences appear to be Murder of black crows feel fearful as they enclose Sentencing to death those next in line Feel that it's best to keep a rabbit's foot and horseshoe As something sinister is giving me signs Prearranged behind the scenes These bad omen are put here deliberately By some underlying cause of devilry Turns into déjà vu These demons are a menace that take their toll As coincidences appear to be so Toppled a dresser, smashing the attaching mirror Seven years unluckily paranoid Opened umbrella drying from the wet weather Certain superstitions you can't avoid Prearranged behind the scenes These bad omen are put here deliberately By some underlying cause of devilry Turns into déjà vu These demons are a menace that take their toll Hearing voices forming an echo Moira, Moira, Moira, Moira

Mötherwitz London, UK

Hear from a window, opened by the ledge
Folkish songs sung, with a more modern edge.
A storyteller singing overviews
Influenced by the following that he adheres to.
Johnathan Richman, Ray Davies, Lou Reed, Johnny Flynn
Damon Albarn, Adam Smith and Leonard Cohen
All styles of speeches, ideas brightly lit.
Come observe the man with his own mother wit. ... more
