Song information
Jethro Tull’s frontman Ian Anderson once sang:

“You’re never too old… old…old, to rock and roll… roll…roll,
if you’re too young to die.”

Well, I turned 73 on the 22nd of this month, and I’m nowhere near dead just yet.

It’s time to rock out!

Truth is, that while my last few songs were a bit on the light side, the itch
to make some noise again has been steadily growing.

So please pardon me as I scratch that itch!

I hope some of you can enjoy this one.

Be well my friends!

Lyrics
 LIVES OF SIN & EXCESS

I
Overstimulated brains.
Sensory overloaded strain.
Trial and  error. Joy and pain.
Lives of sin and excess…

II
All aboard this runaway train!
Tickets please! No pain no gain!
The passengers are all insane,
and speeding towards disaster…

Chorus:
You Who sit enthroned above,
show Your power! Show Your love!
Save us, save us from ourselves!
Turn this train around…

III
Life is fired at us point blank.
Our choices are a smoking gun.
Try our best to duck and run.
We cannot dodge sin’s bullet!

IV
Victims of our inner night.
Lost in darkness. Void of light.
Who of us can make this right?
—These lives of sin and excess…

Chorus:
You Who sit enthroned above,
show Your power! Show Your love!
Save us, save us from ourselves!
Turn this train around…

V
The more we strive, the more we strain,
the more we try to break these chains;
the more we find ourselves enslaved,
—locked in sin and excess!

VI
Moving now at breakneck speed;
fueled by artificial needs.
Is it death will set us free,
from this sin and excess?

Chorus:
Christ Who sits enthroned above,
Show Your power! Show Your love!
save us, save us from ourselves!
Turn this train around…

Some will rise and some will fall though
You’ve provided grace for all.
Some reject—some heed the call,
—that saves from sin and excess.

Loved this one Mike !! Just the right amount of everything. A little grunge, your awesome guitar riffs,keyboard that for some reason reminds me of Emerson,Lake,and Palmer, and of course your spot on lyrics. Keep em coming brother.
