SKySWiM

SKySWiM is the core project name for all musical work by Arnie Stanton. Arnie Stanton has been very involved in creating an eclectic musical blend of classical, electronic, rock, jazz, and other styles. Because of his wide musical background from training and listening, he tends to not stay long with one particular sound, mood, or feel. Arnie creates music meant to evoke deep emotions and strong visual imagery. His lyrics have spiritual overtones, sometimes comforting, but more often, challenging and ominous. He plays trombone, keyboards, sings, and usually talks in the first person, rather than third person tense, as he is doing here. :-) His base of operations is in Torrance, California.

Story behind the song

After further study, we can "thank" (blame) the lust for bigger church attendance to fill egos and pocketbook here and across the nation to Rick Warren and his unbliblical book, "The Purpose Driven Church."

This is about my Jihad against my church back in 2001, before I fully understood how they bought into the lies of Rick Warren and his apostate friends.

Lyrics

What is this solemn game
by smilin' all the same?
Wear designer lifestyles
with pre-approved conversation?

So much thought control
your means become your end.
Between the glitter and the glamour
you've misplaced the valor.

You sing your brazen song
but you're fools and you are wrong,
less love in you than a stranger.
You put God in the box
and stuck Him 6 feet down.
Busy planting your seeds
yet you wonder why they're weeds.

You're the kind who miss the point
and rhyme away the reason.
You get all dressed up,
for your time and your season.
Lusting for the pulling strings
while you let the harvest rot.
Why try and mask the sight of
a better way to run?

Now that you have been undone
will all the blind be free?
Who can halt reaction
to the crumbling insanity?
How could you live 2 lives,
not knowing that you'd be judged?
What is holding up your head
with so much shame upon it?
