    About this ebook

    For about the last year and a half, I have stepped back from my main project (Rise of the Kek trilogy and screenplay) to concentrate on writing a collection of song lyrics. I have done my best to include a variety of songs ranging from soft rock to slow country ballads to hardcore heavy metal. Most of the material here is metered rhyming verses but I have laid out the lyrics as more of a general template so that potential musicians can mix it up and decide for themselves which lines and verses should constitute potential choruses, etc. I do have a poetry manuscript available (The Universe Can Never Be Complete) which contains very few metered verses but may serve as potential song lyrics as well.

    John Joseph Burhop

    John Joseph Burhop was born in Des Plaines, Illinois in 1966. After graduating from John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, Illinois in 1984, John went on to serve his country in the United States Air Force. He was granted a Top Secret Security Clearance in the field of Nuclear Weapons Release Systems, and was stationed at the Pacific region's primary nuclear weapons storage site in Kunsan, Korea before moving on to the spy plane base at Alconbury, England. He then completed his Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing: Fiction at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Since then, John has traveled the U.S. extensively in a variety of vehicles including a 1975 Volkswagen pop-up microbus, several different motorhomes and two different sailboats ranging in length from 27 feet to 38 feet. John is currently living on a coffee farm on the Big Island in Hawaii.

      ROCK STARS (Concept Album)

      2012-04-26

      ROCK STARS:

      1 of 8. IN THE BEGINNING

      Miniscule point of all creation

      In this universe anyway

      Energy racing outward in all directions

      Freezes, matter is born

      The laws of physics laid out

      No more corrections

      Clouds of gas and dust give birth to stars and planets and moons

      And people

      Like us

      Philosophers and dancers

      We begin looking for answers

      Who or what created our world

      Various gods assumed

      But then, after thousands of years of science

      A growing number of people are no longer in compliance

      Physical facts become hard to deny

      But the question remains

      Why?

      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

      ROCK STARS:

      2 of 8. CHEMISTRY

      Substance use

      Chemical balance

      Coherence

      Strict adherence to the laws of nature

      Periodic table of nomenclature

      Shells of valence

      Electrons on the loose

      Chemical bonds are made to be broken

      The most powerful words have never been spoken

      The mind of man is the issue at hand

      And that will never change

      The brain contains the mind

      The mind contains the soul

      The soul holds the universe accountable

      As it continues to unwind

      Atoms compound themselves in so many ways

      Experimental cocktails, patterns of light

      Hallucinations and better days

      We see far beyond our sight

      Chemistry set upon the sea

      Of darkness and illumination

      Fire breathing stars will forever be

      Our source of inspiration.

      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

      ROCK STARS:

      3 of 8. THE ROCK

      I come from a father I never knew

      The mother who raised me held skies of blue

      A cradle rock world bathed in the sun

      Thousands of miles to play and run

      The rock beneath me crept into my brain

      I learned to appreciate the wind and rain

      A sphere of music entered into my dreams

      Gravity waves and energy beams

      So I got up on stage and played the game

      And soon found myself with fortune and fame

      I rocked and rolled to my heart’s desire

      And little by little grew higher and higher

      (chorus)

      I’ve got rock in my head, got rock in my soul

      The Earth is a rock with gravity’s pull

      Diamonds are rocks as are lumps of coal

      Rock me to
