MONSTER IN THE CREEK
Old sea captain warned us today / when the lord surely looked the other way / something in the stream outside of town / reached up and dragged my poor child down / chorus - has the devil caused this hellish heat / to lure our children down to the creek / eleven miles from the nearest waves / what manner of beast has swam in from the bay young men dive in with hopes to free / my boy’s body from the jaws of the thing / at the deepest part of the swimming hole / refuses to give back the life it stole / chorus / bring your guns and dynamite the monster in the creek dies tonight / fire at whatever moves within the muddy waters of Matawan / lite fuses tossed deep we’ll blow the demon right out of the stream / chorus

DEAD MAN'S FOG (Lyrics by Gregory and Southard)
Our bow cannot be seen / from where we stand on the stern / fog has taken everything / the men’s faces show their concern / the cold is worse than we feared / I despair this the end of my years / the more it stings the more I try / keep waking up each time I die a little death I cry / a thousand leagues a million miles / the secrets buried in the vault beneath the oceans wide / this beacon’s light has burned for as long as I’ve known / though tonight the horn must bring us in / for the tower ceases to glow dare we raise our anchor / let the tide have its way / when waves crash on shores unseen jagged reefs calling our names

AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY (Lyrics by Gregory and Southard)
As truth’s war still plummets / I’m sick to my sromach for my rose I would leave / my barren lonely star / sketch me a picture / use only your mind / my imagination will make it turn out just right / chorus - I would give everything / gathered from worlds afar / sift through realities / figure it out / one world to another / search the heart of man / to die in a dreamland and never walk free again / chorus / the fact that you grew alone / so full on infertile grounds weak and oblivous / speaking without a sound / the boy’s soul plummets / I'm sick to my stomach / for my rose I would heal any scare / unlike me her wounds stay open and bleed / left no choice head to the woods and flee

THROWING A DONNER PARTY
this wagon has lost its wheels / now dig in with your heels and carry your own weight / with the snow up to our knees / all I can think is how you’ll be chorus - first to be eaten / you will you will / with the shit this deep you’ll have to leave all the things behind that you don’t need / you have fallen behind me / there is nothing left
to eat / chorus

DARE WE ASK THE WIDOW
these castle walls are finished at last / will they hold out the elements or just the past / bury it all out in the yard / down by the pond and the old livestock / exactly where I wasn’t shown / the site of his ashes now buried in snow / exactly where I wasn’t told / the site of his ashes now buried in snow / now take this flock far into town / they have eaten our fields down close to the ground / with the master dead and planted deep / who can possibly care for these tired sheep / I can’t reap what you’ve grown / I can’t plow these fields alone / I can’t bring the harvest home by my self and my self alone / these castle walls are finished at last / will they hold out the elements or just the past / and bury it all out in the yard / down by the pond and the old livestock
