- A Deluge Of Angels was written for the Danish girls choir EVE to perform on the 50th anniversary of World Earth Day, in April 2020. Due to unimagined circumstances, the event was postponed, as was its re-scheduled premier one year later.
Thanks to technology and tenacity, we offered you this high-fidelity online premier in June 2021. Here is one of the songs from the piece. Thank you all for your support and patience. Please enjoy, and feel free to share freely.

Lyrics:
Water, water, water, water, water, water, water
Who poisoned the well? Who polluted the stream?
Dumped their lead in the river? Turned the sea into steam?
Who emptied the ocean? Set afire the sink?
Sunk their young in the bathtub? Turned the rain into ink?
Our souls are in need of salvation
Bow down while I baptize a corpse
In a cesspool devoid of devotion
We all drown in chapter and verse
Water, water, water, water, water, water, water
Who tainted the lake? Who made toxic the bass?
Dirtied creek, kill, and brookside? Turned the pond into gas?
Who plotted the awful irrigation of blood?
Sowed the slow-motion murder? Turned our town into mud?
Our lives are in want of occasion
All rise while I marry the dead
In a land of eternal damnation
We all burn with passion and dread
Water, water, water, water, water, water, water
