Witch Wolf

  Witch Wolf Written by James Young, Ray Brandle Lead Vocals by James Young Listen on YouTube Reoccurring symptoms Answer the baleful howl Bringing me dreams of darkness The doer of all that's foul Raping the minds of infants Sower of unplanted seeds Full moon warrior Doer of sordid deeds Witch Wolf Night Rider Why do you call for me? Thirteenth hour madman Bringing my soul to fire Visions of my sweet Beulah To torment soon retire Witch Wolf Night Rider Why do you call for me? Got my one-way ticket on this hell bound train I can't seem to stop falling I bear the wrath of Cain Witch Wolf Night Rider Why do you call for me?

The Grove of Eglantine

  The Grove Of Eglantine Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube Hey you there Cast an eye this way You with that young lust virgin smile Don't pretend that you're quickly melting before my eyes That's a lie 'Cause I see all of you Quite clearly now I like our looks your moves you know everything So when I ring you up in the evening I shall meet you In the Grove of Eglantine Just south of man's delight Close to a soft flowing stream In the Grove of Eglantine We will join as lovers might Between the lines of a dream Your magic lips Have made me realize All of the pleasures man can fantasize So don't pretend that you're sad to see me say goodbye That's a lie You're a wicked wench...ha But thanks for all the laughs You and your young lust virgin smile And when I'm gone for awhile I'll once more want to meet you In the Grove of Eglantine Just south of man's delight Close to a soft flowing stream In the Grove

Young Man

Young Man Written by James Young Lead vocals by James Young Listen on YouTube People say with age there comes experience But as soon as you are born you start to die Older men are chosen to speak wisely But call the child to the sacrificial rite Who can we get to win the fight? Young man! Who can we get to make love all night? Young man! Who do we send away to die? Young man! I heard a lonely woman cry for a Young man! The fire bombs in distant lands are burning Jarring every synapse in your soul Life and death are a meaningless profession Tomorrow brings a horror yet untold Who can we get to win the fight? Young man! Who can we get to make love all night? Young man! Who do we send away to die? Young man! I heard a lonely woman cry for a Young man! Young man! Young man! Come home my son We'll give you a rest Welcome my son We'll give you the best Time's stowaway The young man Short are the days Of the young man Young man!

As Bad As This

As Bad As This Written by John Curulewski Lead vocals by John Curulewski Listen on YouTube Did you ever in your life before feel as bad as this? Did you ever in good time think my life had gone amiss? Now I feel I've been unfair 'cause I kept you hanging there. Did you ever in your life before feel as bad as this? God knows I tried a half a year but it didn't do no good. My damnedest try to make it work, I knew it never would. Now there's nothin' wrong with you, and there's nothing you could ever do. God knows I tried a half a year but it didn't do no good. The times were good, but over now, a pleasant memory. I'm sorry, there's another face one that's close to me. You know 'bout what I learned, and there's no stone left unturned. The times were good, but over now, a pleasant memory. (Sigh)

Jonas Psalter

  Jonas Psalter Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by James Young Listen on YouTube When Captain Jonas Psalter Sailed his ship to sea Anne Bonny kept him company The skull and crossbones flew Above the ocean blue The captain's men where a pirate's crew The ships they sought to take Were of the Spanish Main A gift from Ferdinand of Spain And though you rob and kill to find your dream Your crimes are hardly what they seem Tortuga held the treasure of a thousand kings So Jonas planned to steal everything Two hundred men stood guard Around the fortune's nest But Psalter's steel slew all the rest And when the smoke had cleared And bloody bodies lay Everyone could hear the minstrel play Woo woo Jonas Psalter You've captured every prize There is to dream of in one life And so we wonder why We found you in your bed With that bullet in your head

The Serpent is Rising

  The Serpent Is Rising Written by John Curulewski, Chuck Lofrano Lead Vocals by John Curulewski Listen on YouTube In the abyss of space From the center of time A superman race Moves the Serpent to climb The journey has lasted Seven ages or more Life after life Must pass through the door The secret revealed When you leave your cave Is a glory of thunder And life from the grave The Serpent is rising Uncoiling in your spine Bringing you light From the depths of your mind The people have massed In the center of town We drink from a glass And the world turns around The Serpent is rising Uncoiling in your spine Bringing you light From the depths of your mind The Serpent is rising Uncoiling in your spine Bringing you light From the depths of your mind The Serpent is rising Uncoiling in your spine Bringing you light From the depths of your mind

Krakatoa / Hallelujah Chorus

Image
Krakatoa Written by John Curulewski, Paul Beaver, B. L. Krause (Hallelujah Chorus written by Georg Friedrich Händel) Lead Vocals by John Curulewski Listen on YouTube Krakatoa you've changed your ways from evil days. Oh I know a once violent isle and gentle smile. When the dust and lava cooled you were sterile as the rock from which the earth was tooled. Was man's beginning a wind borne spore to fly no more? Nature's winning her docile spree has set her free. Seeds were wafted on the wind forming heavy undergrowth for species winged and finned. Tangled mangles rebuilt your soil from age dead toil. Sheltered bay coves protecting life from Satan's knife. Grow and island in the sun where the hell fire belching earth had destructively left none. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth Halle

Unfinished Song

Unfinished Song Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube Where am I going How do I get there What should I bring along Are people kind there Is peace of mind there Will I finally belong Cause you know ships sail their courses And heroes ride horses They know where they belong But I travel in circles Quickly to nowhere Singing my unfinished song Some poets say that There'll come a day that I'll find a place for me Why aren't I there yet Why can't I share yet Why can't my heart be free Cause you know ships sail their courses And heroes ride horses They know where they belong But I travel in circles Quickly to nowhere Singing my unfinished song
