Time is the killer of man, rich or broke
and it don't give a love or a damn, nor hope
So hard tryin to see where it ends,
Sweat soaked working hard time and time again
Can you feel me?
Every day's not a day till another begins, really
But worldwide we can struggle as friends, still we
Can take advantage of the time we got,
There's no telling when our time will stop

Love's been missing the light
And hate's coming down the line
And I wonder why the sacrifice is blind

We're standing in the dark,
If you want to believe, it's all in your hands

Angels all around,
Trying to make a sound
If we hear the cry,
Something might be found...
And all they want is a world to love,
But all I see is a world out of love.

My child with a world full of troubles and pain
Headaches with no gain and hustlin to maintain
Our trials and tribulations don't ease no part
And lookin at makes me think it shouldn't be so hard, until we
Reach a higher plain of life together, will we
Ever learn to live right together, still we
Should try harder for the pluses and gains, 
There's no tellin when these times will change...

Time's been takin a man, given a soul that's real
And you can't deny, something must be healed

We're standing in the dark,
If you wanna believe, it's all in your hands
Livin in the dark,
We're searchin for ways, we're changing man

Angels try to find a love that holds the shine
In the candlelight, it's just a mortal mind.
And all they want is a world to love,
And all I've seen, is a world out of love.

Show me, hold me
Show me, hold me
Show me, hold me,
Someone, show me the world.

Every day's not a day till another begins really,
But worldwide we can struggle as friends still we,
Can take advantage of the time we got,
There's no tellin when your time will stop.

star 69 - the things you left for dead

Here is a compilation cover demo that my band Star69 recorded at Stephen's studio (Thermal). I believe this was 4-5 years ago when we first started with a couple of new tunes thrown in at a later time. The tunes, in no particular order are: Tom Sawyer, Born to Run, Let It Rock, Gives You Hell, Sex on Fire and Let's Dance.....The band features myself on drums/vocals, Stephen McKnight on guitars/lead vocals and Leon Karpovich on bass/lead vocals. A power trio playing mainly the northeast as well as some points south all the way down to Key West FL......we also have an original CD called "The Black List" available on iTunes and at our shows. We have been together for 5 years, all original members and play upwards to 10-15 gigs a month with more shows during the summer months. Check out www.star69band.com for more info.......enjoy, K

One of my favorite bands to ever record at Thermal-Star 69! This is my favorite song from our record called The Black List. I remember watching The Miracle Worker as a 5th grader, so this song has a lot of childhood emotion wrapped in ROCK.
