A miracle is a correction. It does not create, nor really change at all. It merely looks on devastation, and reminds the mind that what it sees is false. It undoes error, but does not attempt to go beyond perception, nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays within time's limits. Yet it paves the way for the return of timelessness and love's awakening, for fear must slip away under the gentle remedy it brings.
A miracle contains the gift of grace, for it is given and received as one. And thus it illustrates the law of truth the world does not obey, because it fails entirely to understand its ways. A miracle inverts perception which was upside down before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified.
Forgiveness is the home of miracles. The eyes of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love. Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse has come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid before the Word of God, upon the universal altar to Creator and creation in the light of perfect purity and endless joy.
The miracle is taken first on faith, because to ask for it implies the mind has been made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle will justify your faith in it, and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before; a world redeemed from what you thought was there.
Miracles fall like drops of healing rain from Heaven on a dry and dusty world, where starved and thirsty creatures come to die. Now they have water. Now the world is green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up, to show that what is born can never die, for what has life has immortality.

One Headed Hydra: Nutty Castle Lyrics
Artist: Time
Song: Nutty Castle
Album: One Headed Hydra: Nutty Castle
I drop the drawbridge on the nutty castle
like I drop the jaws of kids who be acting like rascals, please no Eddie Haskells
Damon is sipping Pisco, the feds are mad cause raps legal
I'm trying to wake up the minds of dumb ignorant sleeping people
I got a sign on my door that says please go away liars
I'm in my chain mail, where's Excalibur squire?
I make you say wowzer, then I run up in your castle like Bowser
I don't sag my pants I'm grown up I wear velour trousers
Most these queens don't have kings they have friends with benefits or interests
But with me I'm with a goddess or an angel but you could call her a princess
My archers got RPG's they're always on alert
I eat a dragon for breakfast and a galaxy for desert
I don't wear platinum, I wear the holy grail around my neck
And my army is so futuristic even Targzissians show respect
I got so much charisma I could turn Simon Birch to Lancelot
Welcome to my castle all you need to do is dance a lot
Nutty Castle, na na na na nutty castle
I got catapults full of singles and cannons full of mixtapes
I got reviews in my mailbox let's see how much slander Chris can take
Forget syrup Merlin just made me a tincture
And if you don't like my music then please stop kissing my sphincter
I slaughter hydras and fight like battletoads and double dragon
I play basketball with planets and black holes and I'm not even bragging
Yesterday I jousted and beat King Arthur in a duel
And the day before that I made Guan Yu and Lu Bu look like some fools
I'll knock your lights out like a dead uncle Fester
Most these rappers jokers so I laugh at them like jesters
And no I don't have a stallion or a trusty stead
I have a tinted Maybach that comes whenever I need
I killed a castle a bishop a pawn and a horse for start
I jacked a spade then went over and dug out the king's heart
I killed my best friend when I heard about Guinevere and Lancelot
Welcome to my castle all you need to do is dance a lot
Nutty Castle, na na na na nutty castle

Song: Puff Puff Pass the Truth
Album: One Headed Hydra: Nutty Castle
Every day's another war, humans are carnivores
Give us your money or we’ll bomb you some more
They make their own money, they write their own chapters
They slit democracies throat, when they signed NAFTA
Then came the Zapatistas and Marcos
They explained how we were locked up behind barcodes
Yeah, it’s funny how they silence the truth seekers
They put puppets in suits and call them true speakers
One love to the dude on my $20 bill
And rest in peace to all the Indian babies that he killed
Shout out to Ronald and the School of America
They took tax dollars and used them to embarrass us
I used to think Jay-Z pushed a lot of weight
Until I found out the C.I.A. moved all the cake
This for all my patriots who got locked up
One love to Billy Cooper and the rest who got shot up
They’ll never find me though, I’m deep in the underground
In the dirty lab where I just release sound
They can’t shoot up my voice or imprison this song
So dub the truth and pass it along
We will never know the truth, cause the truth was killed
Americans are terrorists, we break down what we build
They say the system protects us, but the system failed
To their coffin let my voice, be the last nail
They lower past temps and increase current ones
Then call it global warming to increase their sums
They tenure senators with plans like Manson
That’s why most politicians are Masons and clansman
In high school while I was busy taking a test
They were testing weapons in Iraq at the protest
That was about the time they invented conditions
Then every kid had A.D.D. filled with Ritalin
That was about the time when Disney bought the world
And capitalism made merchandise out of little girls
No one talks about suicide or why we’re unemployed
They just sit around the TV and discuss balloon boy
CNN, means control negativity nationwide
It’s a distraction brain cell subtraction is what they provide
When the prophet Isa spoke he let the truth unfold
That’s why the Vatican burnt the dead sea scrolls
It’s funny the people that think aliens are a joke
Are the same people who think the Bible’s full of white folk
They pay off the senate and pass all their bills
I guess democracies just a million dollar bill
And yes I know I just rhymed the same word twice
But this bullshit is redundant so I had to make it right
It’s up to us to speak up and take this country back
So spread the truth and pass along this track
We will never know the truth, cause the truth was killed
Americans are terrorists, we break down what we build
They say the system protects us, but the system failed
To their coffin let my voice, be the last nail

Song: Penny Mae
Album: One Headed Hydra: Nutty Castle
Mama said wake up it’s time for church
Daddy only wake up when it’s time for work
You don’t wake up any day
So take your lithium Penny Mae
She was only 14, they said she was phrenic
Zombie pills, it’s an epidemic
They said she saw people but she only Molly
But Molly was real cause she worked at Burger King
She didn’t like Picasso, she only like Dali
Plus realism really wasn’t her thing
She believes in God, she just don’t like religion
She thinks it’s all bullshit just like her Ritalin
I think I take lithium, I think it’s in batteries
Maybe it’s the reason I’m a robot in this galaxy
Maybe I’m fine or maybe I’m crazy
Or maybe I need it cause I’m not a normal lady?
As she ate breakfast, she thought about Ernest and orange juice
She thought about Sylvia Plath and the truth
She thought about melancholy and the definition
Then she took another lithium just like repetition
No manic Mondays, she had a manic lifetime
And when she panicked, Xanax was her lifeline
She wrote help me on her head with her sister’s make up
It’s all ready noon, she don’t want to wake up
Mama said wake up it’s time for church
Daddy only wake up when it’s time for work
You don’t wake up any day
So take your lithium Penny Mae
Brain like a race horse pissing on her summer
The insurance company just bought a hummer
Her doctor is damn sure filling her quota
But Penny is good, she take them pills like she suppose to
Everyday is tragic she can’t hold a job
The voices in her head all just applaud
She done have mood swings, she has mood bullets
When you’re numb to the world it’s hard to live it to the fullest
Every 30 minutes is a teeter totter
Lithium is her mother and she beats her daughter
But Penny got goals and Penny likes to paint
But Ambien CR just makes her faint
She wakes back up and takes an Adderall
So many pills she can’t add them all
Thorazine, Zoloft and Klonopin
Now she’s being woke up by her mom again
She calls up Molly and they meet at McCoy’s
They drink a pot of coffee and gossip bout boys
She takes another lithium and finishes her sandwich
Now she’s daydreaming bout a palate and a canvas
She goes to sleep and she asks for peace
But tomorrow she’s gonna paint her masterpiece
Mama said wake up it’s time for church
Daddy only wake up when it’s time for work
You don’t wake up any day
So take your lithium Penny Mae

Song: Hey Gawd
Album: One Headed Hydra: Nutty Castle
The snow fell all night exposed by the street lights
Walking through a city where the cops just greet fights
The town is Denver, it’s only 2 syllables
But it’s full of people who be selling their soul
Coffee is my potion each diner’s a save point
I just hope my memory card don’t burn up like a joint
And just in case things get out of hand I’m by the interstate
They got us all locked up I feel like I’m in a safe
All the crazies outside are waiting for the comet
I’m at the Breakfast Queen with Doc just waiting for my omelet
After sold out shows everybody applaud us
And after that I get to go home to a goddess
I’m going after my goals, this is my dream
So stay away from my bowl, this is my cream
I turn the lights out on them like a light switch or eclipse
My brain is the barrel I shoot truth from my lips
Check 1, check 2, check 3
Hey God, why don’t you make anymore emcees?
Check 1, check 2, check 3
They don’t make no more rappers like me
I spit a verse in the air for my heartbroken jokers
Who be going after their goals everyday but still hopeless
I wrote a message in graffiti it was for Melle Mel
I asked him why don’t these rappers have a story to tell?
Everyone’s cocky, there’s so much ego
And all I ever hear is negativity from people
I got haters to my left and haters to my right
And all I do is read hate mail all night
I went from battle rapping, to tours to paying dues
And labels still be sleeping like in the morning hitting snooze
Welcome to my dream this isn’t a hobby
Cause I’ve been rapping ever since my nose was snotty
A&R’s want a single I tell them okay
So I spit something so catchy it snatches their toupee
I illustrate and illuminate alliteration
Creativities on a milk carton these rappers lost their patience
I turn their head to Clay, you could call me Cassius
You already know my name it’s emit backwards
Check 1, check 2, check 3
Hey God, why don’t you make anymore emcees?
Check 1, check 2, check 3
They don’t make no more rappers like me
