Sweet Cicada is the Cosmic Doom/Groove/Stoner Rock project
from West Virginia’s doom prodigy, Dan Lively.
A (3) song EP called SWITCH was released in 2004
which really deserves to be heard.
Stellar songwriting and an excellent sense of THE RIFF
are the hallmarks of Dan’s doom calling.
Dan had once squashed the sticky bug,
but it has now resurrected and shall fly again...
A full length LP/CD is on the way.
"FINGERPRINTS":
Seen in the eyes of those whom they have led astray
Heard through the mouths of those who mock and turn away
May Adonai rebuke you
I smell you in the stench of death and rotting moral decay
Evidence you leave wherever you walk, It betrays you
I know, I see they live among us
I see, I know their fingerprints
I see you
May Adonai rebuke you
The truth He shows me
Every time you try to sell the same old lies
Ain’t buying it, no, just get outta my face
I won’t give you a place in my heart
No place
"QUARTER":
Please pardon me for what I have done
I admit it, in my heart, I’m pointing a gun
In the face of my enemy
How can we love here, when we are so bad?
Help us to switch from hate, to love our fellow man
Yeah
I hate myself, evil man I see
Is a speck of dirt in the eyes of eternity, yeah
I appeal to you, When you arrive don’t give me what I deserve
Come on down, But have mercy on my soul
When I think I’m king, I’m treading fire
The truth is plain, every man’s a liar
My heart is glad that you’ve made the way
For the human race to see a better day
Yeah
Someone good, Someone true
Someone right, Only you
You
