On the rooftops of hollywood the stars shine bright for miles Above the garbage in the alley ways reflecting off of bleach-whitened smiles The gathering of energies The spell, the sights and the sounds On the rooftops of hollywood the rain's pouring down Where are you gonna run now? There's a bounty on your head The sheriff's right behind you There's trouble around the bend When you first come it's understood She'll tempt you with all of her wiles Fast curves and luxuries The taste you won't forget once you've taken a bite Think you're gonna steal her blind? She'll reveal to you her darker side She'll chew you up and spit you out Boy you'd better hang on for the ride Where are you gonna run now? There's a bounty on your head The sheriff's right behind you There's trouble around the bend You can keep running but you won't escape it

The Pendulem swings up The Pendulem swings down the roller coaster ride spins round and round and round One minute you'll hate it Then the next its the greatest When the train is riding high upon the town Bridge: we would find our our own way home our own way home Chorus: These are the times that try our souls girl if we struggle, we can make it whole. and when the stars say, we're only human Yeah, we'll make a difference, we will come together. If our leaders lie deceive, manipulate if we judge each other, like its judgment day its cold outside so let's spread a little harmony touch my hand child, and sing along with me Bridge: we would find our our own way home our own way home Chorus: These are the times that try our souls girl if we struggle, we can make it whole. and when the stars say, we're only human Yeah, we'll make a difference, we will come together. and there's still time to unlock the mysteries of peace on earth and love infinity

Original Sin 04:28
no place left to turn nowhere left to run i know where you've been i've seen what you've done pounding like the heart beating in your chest leaves you blind and lost you can never win original sin coming back again its coming back again i won't let you run me down no i won't make a sound i would choke and drown before i let you run me down even while you sleep can't hide from the dark silently it creeps the maker takes its mark suddenly you're gone I'm left all alone a sadness never felt an anger never shown original sin coming back again its coming back again i won't let you run me down no i won't make a sound i would choke and drown before i let you run me down

Euphoria 04:40
How can I believe in democracy? the meaning of the word is lost to me the american flag looks tattered and torn the little guy lost to the corporate board. herded around like a flock of sheep bred for the slaughter of the soft and weak children of the world pray for relief locked inside the capitalist machine We watched it disappear right before our eyes Let it slip away like a thief in the night Reality is such when its built upon lies Can we get it back? Will we see the light? euphoria, euphoria the ancient ways of the spirited west stripped to the ground and paved for progress the rivers were dammed and the trees were all cut but this wasn't enough for the gluttonous so we drilled for more oil and we conquered new lands in the name of our father blood is spilt in the sands the freedom of the press is bought and sold if you bleed your gonna lead, the truth shall NOT be told So watch it disappear right before our eyes Let it slip away like a thief in the night Reality is such when its built upon lies Can we get it back? Will we see the light?

down past the corner of el centro blvd where the freeway commuters crawl past the pavement filled back yards. a transient community awakens to the bells ringing from the pay phone outside the saint moritz hotel ringing on..... half smoked butts from the pavement, picking lunch from the Denny's trash she sleeps out on the sidewalk, next to a cart filled with everything that she has left forty ounces for breakfast always starts her day off right until her head is blurred and angry, half slurred thoughts of life unkind left behind.. out on the west end of that sunset blvd with its tree lined streets mirrored in freshly polished cars ocean breezes blowing past the wilshire corridor million dollar cottages, they lined up to the shore. to the shore... half smoked butts fill the ashtray lines from a plate of glass she's sipping on her beverage feeling lively once again, but it won't last twenty four years behind her she can look at least thirty five and soon her head gets blurred and angry half slurred thoughts of life unkind left behind down past the corner of el centro blvd where the freeway commuters crawl past the pavement filled back yards. a transient community awakens to the bells ringing from the pay phone outside the saint moritz hotel ringing on.....

One More Day 05:46
I see the signs ahead (in my mind) These streets are cold and dead (can I find) There's nothing left to see (move along) It's all just make believe... I'm moving on I hear the distant shore (in my ears) These things that I live for (through the years) The times are hard enough (right or wrong) But I'm not giving up... still going strong I close my eyes and listen to the sound Of the wandering gypsies and the circus clowns This walk of fame is doing me no good It's just one more day in Hollywood This town is growing old (still I stay) The lights are getting cold (they fade away) There's no more mystery (no alibis) But I still see the beauty in her eyes I walk these streets and still I wonder why As the fading spirits slowly wander by I've been here longer than I thought I should It's just one more day in Hollywood I close my eyes and listen to the sound Of the wandering gypsies and the circus clowns This walk of fame is doing me no good It's just one more day in Hollywood

When I can't read the signs then I won't last a day In the wilds of your mind where you go to face your pain Ohhhhh, someday we'll find our way The street is hot and filthy as the summer's end draws near we waste another season then we waste another year Oooh, someday we'll find our way Oooh, why must we wait? chorus: Tonight we're gonna be blessed. Tonight we've gonna feel electric well push away your fears tonight let's pretend that everything is alright its alright y'all When I can't read the times Well I won't last a day In this great land of consumption without a dime to pay Oh, someday I'll find a way The sidewalk cracks grow deeper the weeds are growing 'round Now there's no place left to hide away from the anger in this town. Oh, someday we'll find our way Oh, why must we wait? chorus: Tonight we gonna be blessed. Yeah tonight we've gonna feel electric Well push away your fears tonight and pretend that everything is alright everything's alright

Flight of Foreverman (free) 04:18
When you stretch out your roots just to reach the water's edge You might get a taste for the life that the water can bring you. We got lost in adventure's sweet web never troubled about the road ahead How long can we sustain the flight? How long before we are restless and tired? Seeing the future is rarely divine, Let's bid our time on this one starry night. believe in the paths you choose never seek the gold at the rainbow's end you will find it all. How long can we sustain the flight? How long before we are restless and tired? We could question until the end, still a bond remains the journey is the same my friend. Flight of Foreverman. Flight of Foreverman. How long can we sustain the flight? How long before we are restless and tired? Flight of Foreverman. Flight of Foreverman. Fly........................

about

Welcome To The Musical Celebration!

The walls of commercial categorization are crumbling down. The freedom to blend styles, techniques, influences and rhythms from around the globe is creating harmonious expressions and bold experimental new sounds.

Out of the Great American West rides a band of renegade musicians, shaking the walls and laying down grooves with their own unique brand of rock and roll rebellion.

ZENTHESIS was born in the land of old growth giants, sacred mountains and pouring rain. A searing outlaw rock sound forged in the steel grey streets of Seattle, seasoned in the bohemian blocks of Portland and fired on the hot pavement below the eternal sunshine of Los Angeles.

The musical celebration of ZENTHESIS is best consumed by the heaping spoonful. Soulful soaring vocal harmonies caress the spirit and lift you like a cool mountain breeze. Transcendental guitars and driving rhythms guide you to places hauntingly familiar yet wholly original. Whether crunching with the ferocity of the pounding Pacific surf or gliding like a red tailed hawk on the wind, ZENTHESIS brings a unique and strong new voice to the musical celebration.
