Night Is At Hand
Lady sun
Gathers her radiant skirts up and sets to depart
While the slowly creeping fingers of dark
Start covering the land
Night is at hand
The sun’s long shadows reaching out
And leading to the door
Another day has come and gone
Just like the day before
Tomorrow brings another yet
In one endless array
The drone of morrow comes before
The last one fades away
But till then
Night
Music to my soul
Resigning all control
I’m ready for the fall
Upstairs little Becky lies and she is wide awake
That noise she herd a second time - It was no mistake
Who is it there? What is it there? A-hiding ‘neath the bed
A ghoul or a ghost or something from that book she read
Don’t make a sound and cover up real tight under the sheets
Just close your eyes and try to picture something nice and sweet
And think of
Night
Demons, Ghouls and more
They’re clawing at your door
Bigger than before
And somewhere on the edge of town young Trevor’s in a bind
Across the smoke-filled bar his eyes fall back on her behind
So many girls of every kind, and yet so little time
A cleavage passes by… then he returns to her behind
All the feeling’s gone
Another day is done
Questioning who’s won
Coda:
Now people think and plan ahead
But I remember grandma said:
“A man thinks and God laughs”
You can joke or play an ass
Still everything will come to pass
You can’t change it, not by half
So be-ye safe
And goodnight
In Between
Your eyes are open to a land in between
A yellowing card in your hand
Dystopian harmonies, thick, yet inviting
A red tint to the sand
Crumpled papers mark a path
To a palm tree, bearing strange fruit
A dove’s cry makes you look to the heaven
A hawk flying by in pursuit
The dove drops, seeking refuge beside you
The hawk moving in for the kill
Some clocks run in different directions
Imagine that standing still
Gnawing engines make you turn your head
Thee eastern sky hinting of morn
Nameless figures surround a pile of ashes
From which a phoenix is born
The phoenix drops, seeking refuge beside you
The hawk moving in for the kill
Some clocks run in different directions
Imagine that standing still
Revolt
And now my friends our time is here
The situation’s made it all too clear
The maps are drawn
The stars - aligned
And now my friends it is our time
The morning sun upon our face
The quiet days are gone without a trace
The trumpets roar
Their call aloud
The morning sun will see us proud
They come from every corner of the land
Are drawn to where we stand
As summoned by command
As many as the sand
To take into our hands
Just walk. The path and do not stray
The days of idle talk have gone away
So chin up high
And show no fear
And now my friends our time is here
Troubled Times
I wake into the storm
The sound that can’t be borne
The freedom is all gone
I shift my gaze away
And all you mannered men beware
As you will find our - no-one cares
And you can try it if you dare
But you will probably die out…
The same in every way
No subtle words say
And violence all around
This is the dying ground
And it don’t matter if you run
You have been breathing it to long
And now eternal night will dawn
And the way back home is…
Gone, gone…
And where are we all bound
And everywhere is black
And everywhere there’s lack
There is no turning back
We have to find someone to blame
There’s no more modesty or shame
And only troubled times remain
But I will find you once a…
Hope
Come spend some time with me today
‘Cause we both know what’s coming our way
But see the ocean, the perfect sky
Don’t let this moment pass us by
Despite the sun upon our face
The quiet days are gone without a trace
For in the distance storm clouds descend
Our borrowed time is near its end
And we will fly way up high
Until the clouds pass us by
And in the rainbow we’ll be alive
To shine
Come spend some time with me today
We’ll watch the sun release its final ray
As night it falls now upon the land
Our farewell is near at hand
Come spend some time with me tonight
Your eyes are candles shining clear and bright
So let me join you, breathe in your light
And spend some time with me tonight
And we will fly way up high
Until the clouds pass us by
And in the rainbow we’ll be alive
Until the clouds pass us by
And in the rainbow we’ll be alive
To shine
