Above & Beyond
|
Above and Beyond
Fist clenched tight on the dice
With the big-band playing casino dream themes
Just pawned away his wedding ring
For another shot at cashing dollar sign eyes
Puffs twice on the dice out of ritual
And lightly rolls a losing combination
Jack-pot prize fantasies quickly demise
Into a reality of loss calculation
Crashing down off waves of inconsistency
Plugging into high risk frequencies
Place all your bets on the one
Who never fails to take life
Above and beyond
Your highest expectations
Scratch a card get a handful of dust
Looped from spinning wheels of lady luck
Flip the mind-set switch on things above and feel
A fresh outlook separation of distortion and what’s real

Standing Room Only
|
Standing Room Only
While striving towards the prize many times I stumble
The blueprints in my mind revise until they crumble
Sirens drown out doubts megaphone tone
Reinforcement from the power of the throne
Calling all cars pick up the receiver
There’s a code red distorting perceivers
Flash-flood disaster on the long journey home
Assistance is needed for those trapped in the lost zone
Step out and take a stand
Glory is waiting to take you in it’s hands
Step out and take a stand
The solution that’s in high demand
The lost zone: where emotions ring-lead the show
And the soundtrack to painful memories plays over the radio
Strain toward what lies ahead, stamp out what’s behind
And the dust will landslide from the surface of the blinds

360
|
360 Degrees
Eye-prying captivation around every single bend
Hire wire sensation triggered thrill circuits within
Confidence in circus acts and optical illusions
Turned away from truth for a tight rope walking excursion
Spun Around
360 Degrees
Spun Around
Searching for answers that were there in the beginning
Journeyed up the neon lit path only to find
Behind the scenes reality, a sharp decline
Slipped into emptiness and landed paranoid
Headed back to the only one that could fill the void

Liberation Day
|
Liberation Day
Shouts echoing
The masses feeling low again
Driven out of mind
For the last time
On the other side of peace
The stampede’s pounding at the door
Crying out for the key
To release this inner war
No More, no more, no more
With eye’s on Christ
Lock’s shatter and gates open wide
Hands and voices locked in Unity
Cries of agony replaced with peace
Breaking from all the gimmicks
And the false advertisements
The prize claiming to be solid
That is never provided
It all appears to be simple
And at first quite harmless
Future eras never fail
To deliver all the punches
There’s no time to waste
Life’s duration is way
Too short to hesitate
So let the truth liberate
And soon you’ll know
What lies within the unknown

Did you say 3 cold fords?
In 1997, 9 out of every 10 people you met on the street played in a Ska band. Threefold Cord were 9 of those people. Having all met while attending North Park University in Chicago, we quickly set out to break the record for the number of band members you could fit in a Nissan Sentra (7, don’t tell the cops).
Recording an EP and 2 albums in six years, our mission was simple: to share the love of God and make as many uncoordinated people dance as possible throughout the U.S. and Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
Often spelled horribly wrong on show flyers, the name Threefold Cord comes from the verse Ecclesiastes 4:12:
Although one may be overpowered, two can withstand one; a cord of three strands is not quickly broken
