Mona Lisa
Lyrics: Michael Passen
I see you
Striking a bold pose
Yet a blank expression
Thinking God only knows
Like a cut-out from a fashion magazine
Beauty in two dimensions
Depth has been sacrificed to
Colored pencil color schemes
Or a mannequin in a store front window
Separate from the world outside and
Forced to watch the changing world while
Never seeing anything
Take my hand, invite me in
Lead me past your entourage
Green room calm, tension thick
Sober me to your mirage
Vacant smile, empty words
Show me just what I had feared
Shallow eyes, flat expression
Turn sideways and you disappear
Like a cut-out from a fashion magazine
Beauty in two dimensions
Depth has been sacrificed to
Colored pencil color schemes
Or a mannequin in a store front window
Separate from the world outside and
Forced to watch the changing world while
Never seeing anything
Even Mona Lisa
Hanging on a wall
Follows you with her eyes
Your curves fail to move me
Your colors all fall black
You're superficial pretension's best disguise
So go back to your page
Back to where you come from
To your thick spined volumes
And your thin skinned problems
Like a cut-out from a fashion magazine
Beauty in two dimensions
Depth has been sacrificed to
Colored pencil color schemes
Or a mannequin in a store front window
Separate from the world outside and
Forced to watch the changing world while
Never seeing anything
Even Mona Lisa
Hanging on a wall
Follows you with her eyes
Your curves fail to move me
Your colors all fall black
You're superficial pretension's best disguise

Just Call My Name
Lyrics: Kevin Boenning
"I'm leaving,"
Is the last thing that I heard you say
Off on your own, time to do things your way
Forgive me; I thought you'd never survive
But you knew what to do if you fell behind
Just Call My Name
Look no further in your time of need
When you cry and bleed...
Just Call My Name
"Be strong,"
Is the last thing that I said to you
I thought you should stay,
You had something to prove
Forgive me; though I still can't see why
If you need my help, I'll be standing by
Just Call My Name
Look no further in your time of need
When you cry and bleed...
Just Call My Name
There was a time when you were alone
With no one to catch you, you'd fall
But things have changed
Since you've been on your own
Now if you need me Just Call My Name
Just Call My Name
Look no further in your time of need
When you cry and bleed...
Just Call My Name

The Conquest
Lyrics: Michael Passen and Mike Newberry
In my own land no one listens to me
Now a foreign queen sends me across the sea
To bring back gold and spices from the East
Three ships she gave me and ample supplies
When I looked to my men I saw fear in their eyes
We set out to sea and saw terror in the skies
I've heard rumors of what we'll find
City streets paved in gold
I've heard tales of a civilization
Ancient as the Earth is old
The Conquest of thousands begins today
All but their footprints are wiped away
Crushed under hoof and boot their
Voices are all choked mute the
Mark of man's time has been...
The Conquest
We tell stories to pass the time
But for many something deep is aroused
Quest for discovery or something else
But all in the name of the crown
They say, "The victors record history"
Because the vanquished can't bear to recall
They say, "To the victors go the spoils"
But there are not enough of us to take it all
I've heard rumors of what we'll find
City streets paved in gold
I've heard tales of a civilization
Ancient as the Earth is old
The Conquest of thousands begins today
All but their footprints are wiped away
Crushed under hoof and boot their
Voices are all choked mute the
Mark of man's time has been...
The Conquest
