Ghost Town 03:29
GHOST TOWN V I read the news today They’re comin’ down to ghost town I saw the news today They’re gonna re-name my ‘ol town V So let your worries go Don’t need ‘em here in ghost town Let your mind explode Have ya-self a ball in my old town CHORUS Did you see, did you see What’s been goin’ on lately? Did you see, did you see Not much for you or me Not much for anyone But get ready cause here they come V3 They stopped it all today They killed it quick in ghost town They saw the feed today No one’s givin’ likes in my old town BRIDGE Ya comin’ round, comin’ round to ghost town Bring it down, bring it down in my ‘ol town Comin’ round, comin’ round Comin’ down, comin’ down V4 They shut up shop today They sealed it tight in ghost town I saw some guards today No one’s gettin’ past in my ‘ol town CHORUS

Grifter 04:16
NOTHING IS A CONSTANT NOTHING IS A CONSTANT A fight without meaning or cause Is just insanity in hiding Motivation left unchecked for a reason Tells us something has failed NOTHING IS A CONSTANT NOTHING IS A CONSTANT A plan with something missing Sees small nations divide Europe’s misplaced as it stumbles today Their timing is broken A grifter designed for dishonesty Will invite their own luck Honest men in hiding found praying alone So much for their icons NOTHING IS A CONSTANT NOTHING IS A CONSTANT A few minor islands in the far-east Is just ‘risk’ for grown-ups No one’s ringin’ bells as this happens Too tired and exhausted NOTHING IS A CONSTANT NOTHING IS A CONSTANT

It’s not great that this actually happened It’s too late cause none of us knew It’s not right as it’s all been made up It’s only right if it needs to be A precedent for those who lie and cheat You’re only with us if people ignore this What fool forgives fools in high office What fool chooses lies over substance Truth’s out of time Choosing inaction Truth’s out of time Choosing inaction One mob in a tight spot, police-state nation For now until whenever… It’s not real if your cover’s not’s real It’s only real if the news says it happened It’s not normal to deny everything Only normal to know that’s not normal It always starts with high odds stakes It only starts cause the pack wants fake What fools want mediocre What fools want what’s now on offer? Truth’s out of time Choosing inaction Truth’s out of time Choosing inaction One mob in a tight spot, police-state nation For now until whenever… Truth’s out of time Choosing inaction Truth’s out of time Choosing inaction One mob in a tight spot, police-state nation For now until whenever… Everyone slept through another warm winter Everyone’s in denial and reality splinters Everyone said nothing much matters But when it all falls apart you’ll be shattered Into a billion pieces off into nowhere….

OUT ON THE LEGDE V1 I’m gonna try and change your mind with a full-on protest Run it past you first, see if it flies, let outrage do the rest I’m only gonna do what seems to appeal here Even if half the world thinks it’s a bit King Lear What’ll make this mob turn as it feigns mass-hysteria? Across the world’s a call to stay well inside your own area But as long as you’re convinced the borders are porous There’s not much of a chance you ever getting past us We’re gonna try and give you whatever’s second best We’re gonna try for second best CHORUS Mix it up, stir it up Repeat over and over Mix it up, stir it up Repeat over and over Kill a story, kill it quick Do whatever it takes to stick Cause the power ain’t pure (Doesn’t need to be) Ask yourself how far we’ve come…? V2 I’m gonna try and shift your thoughts for the good of us Run it past you first, see if it flies, let lies trade for trust I’m only gonna do what hides all of this greed Even if half the world can’t stem their slow-bleed What’ll soothe the mob as it looks past its boredom? Telling them to be content in place with their zero sum But as long as you’re convinced the borders are porous There’s not much of a chance you ever getting past us We’re gonna try and give you whatever’s second best We’re gonna try for second best But as long as you’re convinced the borders are porous There’s not much of a chance you ever getting past us We’re gonna try and give you whatever’s second best We’re gonna try for second best CHORUS x 2 to fade

(circa 2020’s) reflect the political
and social ramifications of current world happenings – songs trying to capture what their ongoing ‘observing earth’ series depict – socio-political life during the new millennium.
Seventh Saint appreciates that the world’s shifted a little on its axis of late and that to tilt back to where we once were might not be possible
