RETURN TO THE DARKSIDE

IS THE PAST BECOMING THE FUTURE ?
    "AFTERMATH"
It used to be so common place
Joker’s smokers - interlopers  
A cheery wave a smiling face 
Spilling beer, and friends so near
We had it all - we found a way around the wall
I suppose one day I’ll make a will
Shoot the moon - enjoy the thrill     
And somehow face my fears 
Over the years so many tears brought on by nightmares 
We once shared
I suppose one day I’ll run away
And if I come back I may not stay
One day a love I’ll lose
I suppose one day I’ll write a song
And everyone will sing along
One day I’ll be alone

AFTERMATH

BEFORE  THE  COFFIN  KISSED  THE  EARTH  THE  BROTHER  KNEW  ITS  TOTAL  WORTH !

           'BROTHER  'O'  BROTHER'
WHERE YOU GONNA GO TO MY BROTHER
NOW YOUR SOUL IS GONE - SOMEWHERE IN TIME
THE BLADE THAT CUT THE TIES FROM ME
AND CROSSED THE LINE
CAN I ASK YOU -  TO PLEASE REMEMBER ME
AND YOU - YOU MAY SEE THE LIGHT
LOOKING DOWN ARE MUM AND DAD
WONDER IF THEY'RE SAD
WE SPEND OUR DAYS WITHOUT A SOUND
LIFE-TIME FRIENDSHIP CAST ASIDE
DID YOU EVER HESITATE AND DID YOU EVER FEEL 
BAD AT ALL
YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO SWALLOW PRIDE
AND CAN YOU FIND A PLACE TO HIDE
I'M JUST A BROTHER - HEAR MY CRY
I'M ENDING NOW - WITH A HEAVY SIGH.

Brother 'O' Brother

'WHAT'S THE POINT'

FALLING DOWN IS EASY
GETTING UP JUST 'AIN'T THE SAME
I'M FED UP WITH THE WORLD I'M SEEING, EVERYDAY
TAKE A LOOK AROUND
YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA GET BEYOND THE PALE
AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
LOOKING FOR A NEW WORLD SOUNDS SURREAL
BUT I KNOW I'LL NEVER  GO
TROUBLED TIMES ARE COMIN'
I'D BETTER GET A GRIP AND FIND THE PLACE I'M HEADING TO
I KNOW IT WON'T BE EASY - I KNOW IT WON'T BE FAIR
I'VE GOT A FUNNY FEELING
I'M WASTING ALL MY TIME AND EFFORT
I'LL BE GOING NOWHERE

WHATS  THE  POINT

          ' IN  ACHORD '
PLAYING WITH FIRE IS DANGEROUS
FINGERS GETTING BURNED
WE KNOW WHERE THIS IS ENDING
CONSEQUENCES - NO RETURN
SAME OLD LINE IS ALL WE HEAR
LET'S MAKE IT DIFFERENT THIS TIME AROUND
I SEE YOU SMILING AT ME - AS IF TO SAY
I'M ONLY DREAMING
YOU NEVER KNOW - WE MAY BE ONTO SOMETHING
BETTER THAN BEFORE  (WHO KNOWS)
UNLESS WE TRY
WE'RE NEVER GONNA FIND OUT
A SINGLE NOTE CAN TAKE US ALL THE WAY
WOULD YOU MIND JUST LISTENING ?
AND MAYBE YOU'LL AGREE
I'M NOT SURE MYSELF- BUT HEY
I MUST SAY, I'M EXCITED 
I WONDER IF IT WORKS ?
MEANWHILE, LET'S JUST RELAX
ENJOY WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED TODAY.

IN  ACHORD

Its a Love song.

'CHAPTERS'
THE BOOK OF LIFE - CHAPTER TWO
I AM HERE BUT WHERE ARE YOU
YOU NEVER SMILED IN CHAPTER ONE
NO LOVING- NOW YOU'RE GONE
MANY FACES SHARE MY DREAMS
LEAVING ASHES SO IT SEEMS
BUT FROM A DOVE
I OFFER FLOWERS SCENT WITH LOVE
PAPER DAISIES HIDE IN SHAME
ALL THEY DID WAS CATCH THE RAIN
LOST IN TIME - WILL I LOSE WHAT SHOULD BE MINE
THE DAYS WILL PASS 'TILL CHAPTER THREE
WILL YOU PLEASE BE HERE WITH ME
YES YOU WILL
YOU'LL BE FOREVER LOST IN NIGHTMARES
AND IN DREAMS

CHAPTERS

The Drugs WILL destroy you in the end friend !

DOOMTRAIN

OUT OF YOUR HEAD
AND OUT OF YOUR MIND
A FAR AWAY PLACE THAT
YOU THINK YOU MIGHT FIND

NOWHERE TO RUN
NOWHERE TO HIDE
ESCAPE FROM THE PRESSURE ?
YOU'RE WASTED INSIDE !

RIDING THE RAILROAD IS A ONE-WAY AFFAIR
NO WAY AROUND IT
IT'S GONNA TAKE YOU THERE

OUT OF YOU MIND
AND OUT OF YOUR HEAD
REALITY'S GONE
YOU'RE JUST A DREAMER INSTEAD

TOO WEAK TO CRY OUT
YOU THINK YOU CAN FLY
THERE'S NO TURNING BACK
YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA DIE !
(YOU'RE GONNA DIE)

GOOD TIMES ARE GONE - INTO THE NIGHTMARE YOU FELL
SPIRALLING DOWNWARD
YOU'RE ON THE DOOMTRAIN TO HELL !!

Hell bent !!

DOOMTRAIN

A song about the pursuit and capture of a serial killer

                NO ESCAPE
Is there something in your head
Makes you feel you’re up in heaven
You’re in a state of evil and it’s deep inside your mind
Hate is in your eyes searching for another
To satisfy your sad desire
Entering a world of pain
Does your mother know where you go
When your out of sight
On the streets out in the pouring rain
Do you ever stop and wonder who you are
You will get what you deserve now
The man will come for you tonight
Then you’ll know what it’s like to be alone
There’s nowwhere you can hide
Your lucky there’s no more rope above the trap door
After living in a hell hole you will disappear
And all your friends will  take good care of you
In the end you die

NO ESCAPE

CLOCKWORX
Savage wind you cut me down
I live forever die today
And move the mountains in my way
Touch the blood the sticky rhyme
And damn the clock for keeping time
That tells me when its time to wake
It could be you it could be me
I'm sending all my mirrors for your vanity
A pulsing crystal  heavens sake
Sunset slips away

It could be you it could be me
I'm sending all my mirrors for your vanity
A pulsing crystal  heavens sake
The sunset slips away

Feed me when the six bells toll
A rushing stream to quench my fire
I offer truth you spin me lies
Call me beggar call me thief
And calm the tempest falling leaf
Beyond the window is all I see
It could be you it could be me
I'm sending all my mirrors for your vanity
A pulsing crystal  heavens sake
The sunset slips away and cries

CLOCKWORX

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

AS THE NIGHT CLOSES IN - OUT POPS JIMMY THE FIZZ
DRIVING THE BACK ROADS - OUT THERE DOING THE

BIZZ

CRUISING THE SHADOWS - THIS GUY'S NEVER BROKE

MAKING A LIVING

DEALING WITH THE KIDS ON THE CORNER

SELLING THEM HIS LOW GRADE COUNCIL HOUSE DOPE

HE'S IN THE MONEY

HE STEALS ANOTHER MOTOR - A V8 AFFAIR

HIS ARM OUT THE WINDOW - LIKE HE JUST DON'T CARE
BURN UP THE MOTORWAY - THE HOT FUZZ IN PURSUIT
NO SPEED LIMIT AND DRIVING WHILE PISSED AS A NEWT
AND THE CORNER SHOP HE ROBBED LAST NIGHT

MEANS ANOTHER NEW SUIT
AND THAT'S JIMMY

DOWN AT THE BAR THEY'RE GONNA CALL HIM A FOOL

JAIL TIME AWAITS FOR OUR JIMMY
IF THEY CAN FIND HIM A SPACE

Community Spirit

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

10,000 WATTS
TEN THOUSAND WATTS INVADE MY EARS
 THEY DRIVE AWAY THE ENDLESS FEARS
AS ALL ARE CROWNED IN WALLS OF SOUND 
THEY GO ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND
BE MY LIFELINE BE MY FRIEND 
BUT JUSTIFY THIS HUMAN CRY
THIS WALL OF SOUND WILL NEVER END - OH NO 
SEE YOU AROUND
FEEL YOU AROUND
YOU HAVE FOUND MY WALL OF SOUND
ALWAYS AROUND ME.


10,000 WATTS

10000 WATTS

Just reflections in the mind !         
NOMAD

WALK THE SANDS -  OF GOLDEN DUNE
REFLECT ON LIFE - 'COS IT'S OVER SO SOON

FOOTPRINTS GONE - IN SECONDS TIME
GAZE THE MOON - A PEACEFUL SIGN

WINDS OF GRAIN - FORBODING SUN
MOVING SLOW - NO STRENGTH TO RUN

DISTANT SHIMMER - ON WATERS EDGE
SPEED ME ON YOUR - GOLDEN SLEDGE

are you a mirage in my mind
a distant place I left behind
men such as I on a winding road
seeking answers to the compromise
but too many questions - brings overload 

ALL ALONE - A LIFE-LONG QUEST
MOVING ON - NO TIME TO REST

LOST OASIS - IN DESERT STORM
ARE YOU THE LIFE FORM
THAT KEEPS ME WARM

NOMAD

Are YOU being controlled ?
THE WARNING
WATCH OUT FOR THE PUPPETEER
HE'LL PULL YOUR STRINGS - HE'LL MAKE YOU DANCE
TO HIS TUNES OF COLD DESPAIR
WATCH OUT FOR THE SMILING FACE
WITH GLACIER EYES THAT SPELL DESPISE
AND A SMIRK OF DARK DECEIPT AND LIES
YOU BETTER WATCH OUT !
BEWARE THE STRANGER'S KIND
WHO PICKS YOUR POCKET FROM BEHIND
A BORROWER FROM SOMEONE NEW
YOU'RE LEFT WITH NOTHING - WHAT WILL YOU DO
SO WHO TO TRUST TO PLAY A TUNE
NO STRINGS ATTACHED AND NO LOOKING DOWN
EARS THAT LISTEN, JUDGEMENT NONE
I'M STILL SEARCHING - SEARCHING FOR THE ONE.

THE WARNING

'GUN'
Power I will give you if you hold me real tight
Best friend now forever if you're in for a fight

Killing is my passion my creator was a man
Fear is my trademark so load me while you can

Misery delivered a pleasure dome in drive
Let me pull the trigger till there's nothing left alive

The look of pain surrounds me I know I've done my task
Why do I get such pleasure seems you very seldom ask

Made of steel I make you feel much bigger than you are
Hold me in your cold hand and the message travels far
'spoken'
Killing is my passion my creator was a man
Fear well thats my trademark load so me while you can
The look of pain surrounds me I know I've done my task
Why do I get such pleasure seems you very seldom ask.

One day Humans will no longer require other Humans !!!!

'A.I. GOD'
WHO THE HELL INVENTED ME
THE ANGER STORM - THE RED EYED GLARE
JUST WIND ME UP WITHOUT A KEY
BUT BE HUMBLED BY THE A.I. STARE
AM I THE HERO OR THE BEAST
NO GODLY NOISES TO TEASE MY EARS
A NEW SCIENTIFIC FIVE COURSE FEAST
NO SOUL TO DRIVE OUT THE GUILT AND FEARS
A RAINBOW - ALL COLOURS BLACK
NO POT OF GOLD - AND NO TURNING BACK
THE BLOOD OF THE ANGELS FILLS MY VEINS

BUT MY HEART'S A STALLION
WITHOUT THE REINS

WILL I PROTECT OR HUNT YOU DOWN

WHO WILL DECIDE ? - THE MEN DEMANDING CHANGE !!

CREATED ON THIS WONDROUS NIGHT
THRIVING ON KINDNESS BUT BUILD ON HATE
WILL I BE CLONED AGAIN AND AGAIN ?

A.I. GOD

'ENTER BAHAMUT'
FLOATING DOWN ON GREEN MARINE
SHIMMERING INSIDE AN ORB OF LIGHT 
HEAVY SIGNS OF LIBERTINE
AND ALL THE WHILE THE AFTERGLOW ALIGNS
HIDING UNDERGROUND - IN A DARK CHASM
WAITING FOR THE BEAM TO COME AROUND
WE CANNOT GO TOO SOON - SO JUST KEEP ON WAITING
SOMETHING IN THE AIR - DANGER EVERYWHERE
CREEPING IN AND OUT OF RANGE
NO MORE TIME - AND NO-ONE KNOWS THE WAY OR WHERE TO GO   
SO HERE IT COMES AGAIN - THE FINAL CHANCE 
THE MEGA FLARE IS LOADED - READY TO RELEASE
SUMMONING THE FIREBIRD - SO NO MORE PEACE
AND NO MORE RUNNING
AND THIS COULD BE THE END
(IT'S OVER)

ENTER BAHAMUT

The slow decay of society, does anyone give a toss anymore ?

URBAN WARFARE
Tell me one politician who don't tell lies
They promise the earth then turn a blind eye
They watch us from on high as the boys come of age
All the colours of man enter the turfwar rage
---------------------------------------------------
So Come on down to street level all you people of note
See the faces of the Nation ready to vote
You offered up yourself as a man of decision
Who could cut out all the rot with a confident vision
-------------------------------------------------
Down on the ward another boy waits to die
Yeah... he honoured his gang and yeah he gave it a try
The policeman looks down as he utters a sigh
Was it really worth the price of an eye.... for an eye ?
-----------------------------------------------------
So come on down to the street level all you people of note--- see the faces of the Nation that are  getting ready to vote
Well you punish us and you tax us and you live like Kings--- to working class people expense slips - they just don't mean a thing
So we all go to the ballot and we vote for a side but knowing full well that we're there just for the ride
Our fathers before us did exactly the same thing
Whoever you vote for they're still gonna let you down whether in your village, in your city or in your town
So don't feel so guilty when making a choice-- 'cos none of these parties speak with our voice
Keep your head up and walk with a stride - but remember -  they can take all our money but never, ever our pride
So come on down to the street level you Star Spangled Banner you Union Jack, 'cos its time for the people OK ? - yeah
to get something right on back  !!

MEDUSA'S GOLD
MY BLOOD RUNS COLD IN VEINS OF GOLD
CHILLING THOUGHTS - AND ACHING THROUGH MY BONES
FOREVER YOUNG - THERE'S NO GETTING OLD
PURE AS HELL THE LIQUID FLOWS FROM ME
AM I A RICH MAN - I GUESS NO-ONE KNOWS
THE BODY SCREAMING OUT FOR PEACE
BUT THE DEVIL'S CURSE -  WILL NEVER BE RELEASED
TO LIVE FOREVER - AND NEVER DIE
JUST AN ECHO OF A HUMAN CRY
AM I A GOOD MAN - STILL NO-ONE KNOWS
AN ALCHEMY OF SHADOWS IN A MIND
A PHARAOH'S KISS - FROM THE SANDS OF TIME
VALHALLA WILL BE MY FATE
FLAMES ARE GETTING HIGHER
A GHOST OF MAN'S DESIRE
I CLOSE MY EYES AND FEEL THE FIRE
AS THE VENOM SPITS FROM TEARS OF SNAKES
IT TURNS YOU ALL TO STONE.

             (  DESTITUTION IN GAZA ! )

                    'THE OTHER SIDE'

SO MANY PEOPLE - HIDE THEMSELVES AWAY
LIVING IN TWILIGHT DAY AFTER DAY
HOW THEY LIVE A LIFE ONLY THEY WILL KNOW
DO THEY THINK ABOUT THEMSELVES - AT ALL ?
DESERVING A FREEDOM THAT WE ALL PRETEND TO SHARE 
BUT THINGS NEVER WORK OUT QUITE THAT WAY                        
AND SO WE GO - OUR SEPERATE WAY
MAYBE TO FIND A BETTER DAY
I HOPE THEY MAKE IT THROUGH - ONE MORE NIGHT
SOMETIMES AFRAID - OR IN PAIN
LIVING ALONE ON THE OTHER SIDE

THE OTHER SIDE

Prog Rock, is a genre that emerged in the late 1960s and is characterized by its complex and intricate compositions, experimentation, and a fusion of various musical styles and genres. It often features elaborate instrumental passages, unconventional song structures, and thought-provoking lyrics. 
'ZIG ZAG'
ALL INFORMATION SENT - WILL BE CAREFULLY PRESENTED
NO MORE - BELIEVING EVERYTHING DIES
NEVER A GOOD THING - BUT IT CUTS DOWN ON MY PAPERWORK
OVERLAPPING - AND LETTING ME CONCENTRATE
NOW THE PRESSURE'S ON - MOVING OUT IN TIME - NEARLY MADE IT
BUT IS IT MAKING ANY SENSE 
FLOAT ON A RIVER - LOOKING DOWN THE LINE

ANYTHING GOES - NOW I'M ON MY WAY
AND LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD ALL I SEE
CRATERS ON THE MOON
THEN THE MAD MAN SMILES - HE'S CHANTING NURSERY RHYMES 
TO HIMSELF
NOBODY LISTENS - AND NOBODY CARES
IS IT ONLY ECHOES FROM THE RAGING SEA
IT MIGHT AS WELL BE
THERE'S DANGER UP AHEAD

YOU'VE ONLY GOT TO READ THE SIGNS
CONFIRMS THE FEELING IN MY MIND

       'IMMORTAL'

       LOOKING DOWN
I SAW THE DYING FEAR
   A DARKENED CARCASS
RIDING OUT ANOTHER YEAR

        TIMELESS AGE
   THE WONDER OF MANKIND ?
A ROTTING CORPSE, THE SOUL LONG GONE
            IN TIME

     SEE A RAY OF LIGHT
  TO PIERCE MY NAKED EYE
THAT BLACK HOLE SEEMS TO CALL ME
        TO THE SKIES

         LOST IN TIME
     A DISTANT PLACE
WE SHOULD HAVE TRIED TO SAVE
    THE HUMAN RACE

       DRIFTING NOW
   WERE OUT IN SPACE
A JOURNEY OF TEN MILLION YEARS
    IT SEEMS WE FACE

   AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT
   NO MORE TIME TO SPEND
IN A TWILIGHT WORLD OF HAZE
 FOR I CAN SEE  -------- THE END

IMMORTAL   re visited 2025 (1)

               ' EMPTY SPACES '
CAN YOU FEEL THE EMPTY SPACES
LIKE THE CRATERS ON THE MOON
DEATH BECOMES A DARKENED ANGEL
IN A PARADOX OF GLOOM - IT COMES SO SOON
LIKE SHOUTING AT THE PHOTOS
IN A STRANGELY EMPTY ROOM
BLACK AS NIGHT IN THUNDER SKIES
AN ECHO SENT TO TEAR MY HEART APART FROM YOU
I CLOSE MY EYES AND COUNT TO TEN
