Evening Sky

Done during those (very) rainy summer days... Perfect weather for music making instead of grilling like a sausage at the beach :)

Hope you'll like that "Hopkins-esque"  one(or is it rather a Holden-esque track?) 

So, do you like malls? Let me tell you that I really don't! 
Forget all hope in those places of despair

Do you like malls?

This was supposed to accompany some vocals, but I realized it worked better as an instrumental piece. A different version with the vocals will follow at some point.

On the guitar, in the intro, Dan Blackard used his Gibson Les Paul. On the break solo, he used his "high action" Fender Squire for the slide.  This is a bit of an Orwellian song. 

Lyrics;

I'm only happy in this place
When I can see your face
You're like a holiday

The music playing on
But they play that same old song
Just in different ways

Crazy Town
Laughing out loud
Never thinking what you're speaking
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Never finding what you're seeking

Third ring in the Circus
Big top always wants work us
And they're screaming like berserkers
The flipside of the flipside of the flipside of the flipped

In the cages with the beasts
Man, they never give us peace
The clowns in on the fleece
Tripping on the tripping on the tripping on the tripped

Crazy Town
Laughing out loud
A finger points in your direction
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Open your mind for their inspection


The big wheel for the  run around
Like a rat we chase the bait
We know where this train is bound
Our sanity's the freight



I'm only happy in this place
When I see your face
It's like the flowers in the spring

They changed the lyrics of the song
Just like bees we buzz along
No one knows what to sing

Crazy Town
Laughing out loud
Never thinking what you're speaking
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Never finding what they're seeking


Crazy Town
For crying out loud
A neverending runaround
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Down down down down

Crazy Town

Malevolent Energy

Lord Of Ages



------- Catherine Healing Hearts

She takes a bold courage
Of silver delight
And calls for the thunder
To rescue her knight

With leaves of chamomile
Her hands bound in moonlight
And shadows of pain
In the fields of the fight

Oh heavens
Bring mercy
Oh heavens
Be kind

She holds her knight’s head
In her cold trembling hands
A ray of warm blood
Running over the sands

A deep open wound
In his wild heaving chest
She kisses his forehead
Praying him to be blessed

Oh heavens
Bring mercy
Oh heavens
Divined

She will always wander
From mornings to sighing nights
In ruinous wars’ battlefields
For the broken in violent fights

She carries compassion
Unending floods of care
With waves of sweet tenderness
And healing hands everywhere

Oh heavens
Bring mercy
Oh heavens
Be kind

-------

I was in Stalingrad
The cold winter the cold winter over forty two
In the shadows of the Volga river
The rat war
I was in Stalingrad
At Mamayev Kurgan
And Pavlov’s House
Oh heavens
Your mercy
Oh heavens
Your mercy
Oh heavens
Your mercy

I was in Hastings
And Vienna
And also in Cajamarca
And in Yorktown
And then in Trafalgar
And also in Leipzig
And Waterloo
And Hiroshima

-------

Again a bold courage
Of silver delight
And a call for the thunder
To rescue her knight

A new place of battle
With deep scorched holes
And wounds of shear terror
Of harsh suffering souls

Oh heavens
Bring mercy
Oh heavens
Divined

------- George and Dragons

Eight
Eight times before you smile
Fate
Fate washing hands in time

While
While hearts cry

While
While hearts cry

In vain
