Mercy 06:22
MERCY VERSE 1 Confined, Detained, taken from your loved ones in restraints. Blood shed, so much death, and they don’t realize you’re innocent! I gaze at you, through tempered glass, So I sing to you, to try to ease your pain PRE CHORUS And I want to forgive them for what they do, what they do But then I see what they’ve done to you, done to you CHORUS Where is the Mercy? x6 VERSE 2 My melody draws, while your trapped in this prison Tracing circles with your inmates, caught and trapped here with no escape. Our faces eye to eye against the glass, a moment shared, a moment passed. My vibrations transfix you, and all I want to do is rescue you.

Enticement 05:01
ENTICEMENT VERSE 1 Enticed by your smile, by your power to break. Your heart so big and your gazing at me makes’ me shake Are you a monster that’s gonna swallow me whole? Or are you an angel redeeming my soul? Enticed by your smile, your strength to bleed. Enticed by your smile, it’s you I need CHORUS Your soul is a friend that I know. My soul is at stake and this I know. Fly, fly with me, with me, fly, fly away with me VERSE 2 En-captured by your love, caught in your butterfly net, You seem to have sucked the life from me, yet tell me don’t fret, Enticed by your smile, your strength to bleed, Enticed by your smile, don’t you know its you I need CHORUS Your soul is a friend that I know My soul is at stake oh this I know Fly, fly away with me, Fly, Fly away with me BRIDGE Its always been you x3 I look at you and I know that it’s always been you Oh no, no, open your eyes, and here I am staring back at you Is this a surprise to find me kneeling down here before you CHORUS Enticed by your smile and your strength to bleed Enticed by your smile and you know that its you I need Fly, Fly away with me, fly...fly....

Plastic 03:17
PLASTIC Verse 1 These are the days of isolation These are the times of my oppression These are the moments I forget that I am me Closing my eyes I see your face Everywhere in every god forsaken place CHORUS Isolate me Incarcerate me Asphyxiate me Wrap me up in plastic Cover me You suffocate me You trap me Wrap me up in plastic Verse 2 Sometimes the drugs make me feel strong With you I know I’m always wrong Sometimes I wish I had the strength to leave this place Closing my eyes I see your face Everywhere in every god forsaken place

Wild and Free I see your face locking eyes with me Wrapped in utopias arms , I was soaring free I sense your empathy, I taste your anxiety Tangled in their cast nets, you stand helplessly (x2)   Pre Chorus Be my emancipator love me forever? Can you be my friend, would you set me free? Can you be my saviour, and take down my jailor? Can you be my champion, and fight for me? (x2)   Chorus Head banging on the glass, Im a gypsy of the sea Im screaming let me out, I need to be free Get me out! Let me out! Get me out! Let me out and set me free Get me out! Let me out! Get me out! I was born wild and free  (x2)   Verse 2 I committed no foul act, engineered no felony I was fighting for my life, I was hunted and besieged You hear my voice, you try to understand me Caught in this prison tank, no crime no release   Pre Chorus Chorus

BANGKOK PRINCESS - Written by Vicki Kiely VERSE 1 You look so small in this concrete city Tucked amidst the paradise Your limbs are thin but your face is so pretty And your smile lights the night sky Well you cant be much more than 6 With your senses sharp and your beggars tricks But you stole my heart under this Bangkok sky But your life is so unfair, and I’m asking God why? CHORUS Bangkok Princess, Bangkok, Bangkok Princess x2 VERSE 2 Your tiny face is etched in my mind A sweeter angel I’d have trouble finding So I’ll pray for you and hope against the odds That you find your Wizard of Oz CHORUS BRIDGE Is there a yellow brick road through Bangkok? And I hope you find your Wizard of Oz

The Massacre at The Cove We were weary from the long hard swim, but found a school of size, With teamwork and excitement ,we surrounded the terrified prize, Our sonar working perfectly, our bellies soon be full, We heard a dreadful banging sound, that made my senses dull My eyes they shook inside my head, I heard my mother cry Our pod was scattered everywhere searching a way by To run from this horrendous bang, this ringing in our ears The sound it grew in length and depth, and with it carried fear The commotion and the cries from all, I never will forget, Of course we swam far fast and away, but the banging would not let It would not let us pass that way, so the other way we went Little did I know that soon, many lives of ours would be spent I swam close to my pod, every now and then I dove down deep In a panic to find some way out, from the wall of sound and beat Alas this sound it went down too far, and sure I was out of breath I couldn't stay down very long, and that banging made me deaf Right back up to the surface where the pod in disarray, Were jumping, running for their lives, all splashes cries and fray I swam fast to the very front, I saw my mother leading A inkling at the back of my mind, that a trap was where we were heading But swim I did, and run and dive, and search and try to escape Yet the sound of engines roaring, and the banging made me shake I notice rocks ahead of us, some nets, and close to shore If we did not get back to sea, I feared the worst and more The sound it was beyond us still, and only land ahead The banging closed around us, and I heard the cries of the dead Oh now this was an eerie place, blood spilled of many lives I felt their energy and souls, I heard their petrified last cries I swam next to my mother, as they behind us dropped a net We frantically pushed against it, but the net it wouldn't let, It wouldn't let us out, and my mother was now caught An engine roared right o’er our heads, my mother was distraught I tried to help her free herself, but tangled bound was she They came and shouted, hit her hard, bound her fluke so brutally Her face I saw as she was dragged, away and by her tail Gasping coughing drowning now, I watched her attempt to inhale I poked my head above the surface, to see what they were trying And in the shallow waters, she was convulsing, bleeding, dying I desperately swam fast around, calling others from the pod, But all I saw was blood and pain, and all I loved seemed lost Then hands were all upon me, and I was forced into a sling Thrown roughly by the side, and no one heard me screaming Water it was flung at me, the engine in my ears I knew right then that this was it, the start of miserable years And now I float in a grimy tank, a whistle rules my fate I eat whats given, do my tricks, and drive myself insane I remember that day like yesterday, the memory etched in stone This my friends is captivity, a death sentence, a life alone

Cats Oasis 04:23
Cats Oasis Verse 1 You met him on the street one night Cupid drew his bow, and it was love at first sight Girl your smile caught his heart in a vice Now you’re bound, now you’re one, and you’ve become his whole life Love is strange and love is good Music keeps you connected just like it should Two souls familiar, two souls soul mates Now there is nothing that can take that away Chorus You’re his Wonderwall  His soft place to fall Girl you’re beautiful You’re his beautiful Verse 2 He said Don’t Look Back in Anger and Stand by Me In this Champagne Supernova is where you are free This love is Supersonic so Don’t Go Away  Stop Crying Your Heart out girl he’s here to stay Little by little, Half the World Away Cigarettes and Alcohol in a drunken haze Whats the Story Morning Glory, Do you know what I mean? Let There Be Love, She’s Electric, and we all see….we all see Bridge All Around the World Let There Be Love

about

This is an album I have been writing for many years, but was pushed to the front of my priorities when I joined Ric O'Barry Dolphin Project and saw how music is a way to spread my message on anti captivity for dolphins and all animals. 30% of profits will go to Ric O'Barrys Dolphin Project www.dolphinproject.net www.vickikiely.com
