1. The Beginning (I) The Creation (Narration): In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth There also was the Word, All things were made by Him The earth was without form & void, Darkness was upon the face of the deep The light shineth in the darkness, The darkness comprehended it not Then God said… Let there be light (II) The Word: In the beginning the Word made everything Nothing left to chance no not a thing Life’s been given to us by Gods own breath For us to serve the King with all our depth In the beginning God spoke and gave us light Seperating time by day and night The sun the moon the stars they are so bright Shining up above as the Word is Light In the beginning Messiah was the Word He is the life to all the world Without His light there’d be no hope Driving out the darkness from our souls He laid foundations the angels they did sing Laying down His life this is what He brings What this world needs is His saving grace This is all our hope He’ll be our King (III) The Message He gave us His Word that we can build our life upon Through our Lord all things are possible Come into the life Come into the Light

2. The Deception (I) Eden: Eve bites apple, For a taste, Laid down Eden, All to Waste Barred of mankind, Angels in place, Edens lost, Waiting for grace Desolation soon was here, god of this world, Blackness of fear Dragging down man, Into abyss, Losing all hope is just Way too near, Way too near, Way too near Son of man, Are you awake, Don’t lose hope, Its not too late Books have been written from times past, Time is lost, All too fast Take the time the future is here, Heed the call, But be aware Time to wake up, Don’t be afeared, Look up and know that He’s Way too near, Way too near, Is He near, Being here (II) The Fall: The great deceiver opened our eyes, To the truth of love and lies Showing us life and death of a different light Saying we can be like God with just one bite We’re all living the lie... They say that heaven can’t be bought Thats not what I’ve been taught Making immortal souls that wont die We’ve been deceived by the father of all lies We’re all living the lie…

3. The Wandering (I) Sands of Time: Why have you brought us out here to die Wondering if this has all been a lie Wandering aimlessly Helplessly blind Hopelessly lost in these sands of time Hopelessly lost Hopelessly lost No end to this madness to gather my thoughts What are we doing Why are we lost Glass is half empty Times running out Hopelessly lost In these sands of time Hopelessly lost (III) Times Up (Narration): Sunlight rises the moon will shine Sunlight fades where shadows go to die Spoken words on starlit nights of truth & love whispers have turned to lies Innocence is betrayed by young & old Trust is lost our souls have been sold Time moves forward stars will shine Time stands still black hole arrives Madness Kingdoms will rise kingdoms will fall Eons will cease as worlds collide

The Lost 17:44
4. The Lost (I) Shadows of Time: Am I lost... Am I found Here I am... Turn around... See the sun... Touch the ground Fading light is... All around Shadows fall upon us all Shadows fall upon us all Is the race to the swift The battle to the strong Riches to wise men who will take it all Is favor given to men of skill Time and chance does happen it will Shadows fall upon us all Shadows fall upon us all I came back and looked under the sun Nothing's changed... Of no one Am I lost... Am I found Here I am... Turn around Shadows fall upon us all Shadows fall upon us all (II) The Reality Shadows dimly fade Out of sight out of day Darkness surrounds me more As someone shuts the door But wait there's a ray of light Cutting through the blackest night I know what to do I see where to go The end is in sight but oh no Here I am all alone Where do I turn where will I go Searching deep within my soul For the love for the hope for the truth but it's all gone But wait there's a ray of light Cutting through the blackest night I know what to do I see where to go The end is in sight but oh no Why Am I still alone Where do I turn where will I go...

about

The idea of Snakes & Angels came along several years back. Writing a concept album about the timeline of the Bible, as daunting as it was, I still felt compelled to do so. Of course, it is in no way complete but as a synopsis, it works. From Genesis to Revelation. To me, this is only half of the story and there could be another chapter at a later date as I do have plenty of music already written towards that end. But this is where we are for now. The struggle between good and evil has always been mankind’s success or demise. So, there is a message in there I hope that can positively impact the listener as well as being accompanied by the best cinematic soundtrack I could write for it. So, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it all together for you!

Production / Musicians: Gordon / Gordo Bennet: All the music on this album was written, performed, arranged, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Gordo except for some very special guests playing and singing with heart and soul using their incredible talents to raise this album to new heights and breathing their life into it! Thanks to them for such inspired artistry and musicianship!
Joseph Frick, a lifelong friend, had heard the demos that would become the Snakes & Angels album, and being one of my most trusted audio test pilots on anything GorMusik surprised me with some wonderful bass playing he had recorded on those demo tracks. Upon hearing them I was totally blown away and said to him “Let's get to work my friend!” So, plans were made, and the recordings began and now we have the result of his exceptional bass playing. Thank You, Joe!
Jay T McGurrin as well has been a lifelong musical companion. Jay, drummer/vocalist has played drums and sang with the best, always active in the local music scene as well as touring with the late Jimmy Van Zant band. Jay has also played drums on The Colin Tench Project, Hair in a G-String. As most know the drums on my GorMusik albums are written/programmed by me but there are just some things that can’t be programmed. That's where Jay comes in. I had this song called The Lost, and I knew what I wanted to hear and how I wanted the track to sound and feel and I knew I couldn’t achieve that with programming, but I also knew Jay would be the perfect fit for it. So, after talking to him about where I wanted the track to go he laid down some initial drum tracks that after he worked them out took the track to its only rightful place in music history by his awesome playing abilities! Thank You, Jay!

Peter Jones: If you haven’t heard the name Peter Jones yet I’d be amazed! Pete has been cranking out his awesome music through Tiger Moth Tales, Red Bazar, the Colin Tench Project, and with the legendary Camel Band for years now and he’s still going strong! As for Snakes & Angels, I had sung all the vocals on the demos of the album and almost released it as it was, but as an artist myself knowing my limitations and not being overly concerned with the ‘doing it all myself’ ideal knew that vocals on an album are usually what makes or breaks it. So, with that in mind and want to give the listener the best possible production I could muster I talked with Pete and sent him the album and he was instantly on board with it! Wow! & Phew! Were my initial responses to having such a talented songbird sing on my album! As you will hear, Pete did an amazing job singing on the album as well as him playing Irish Whistles on ‘The Lost”! Thank You, Pete!
