lyrics

¬¬Dominoes – by Mark Bishop Evans 022022

Who knows why men prophesy and then deny what they imply?
They magnify what underlies the need to justify

Pedigrees aren’t guaranties for living free of life’s debris
The destiny of refugees begins as fantasy

At end of day as visions fade in sad display of what we’ve made
The slow decay that overlays corruptions underway

Within this place the egos race with frantic pace to win their place
In every case this fate they face how not to be erased


Can any know what mysteries show from wild seed sown on high plateaus
And things the grow in ridged rows will fall like dominoes

We often find that peace-of-mind is so entwined with being blind
That to unwind the ties-that-bind will leave you more confined.

And when the song is somehow wrong you find the throng won’t sing along
Pretending strong will just prolong as agony’s drag on

Chorus

Like every plan yet small or grand is made to stand the frying pan
While wisdom ran like grains of sand untethered through your hands

The breath of life is cold as ice when painted nice it will entice
And bring you twice the going price then cut you like a knife.

Chorus
