Moonlight Desires [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
Moonlight Desires Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan You've got ways To take hold of my thoughts Over-riding my senses Lock your sights Dead in line with your heart Share your powers You stir my soul And whet my hunger And weave that spell That pulls me under These moonlight desires Haunt me They want me, they want me These moonlight desires Haunt me You're sending, you're sending Secret fires Burn inside me unknown Raging on Never mentioned Only you Can uncover the flames Break their silence And make them dance For us to see them And break their chains And give them freedom These moonlight desires Haunt me They want me, they want me These moonlight desires Haunt me You're sending, you're sending A wave over my mind And I fall to it blind You say: Trust me Moonlight Desires

Awake the Giant [Lawrence Gowan]

Awake The Giant Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Born of pride and frustration Under heavy sedation Fought to be realistic Everyone pessimistic Filled with anger and regret That's how I was till I met you Trapped beneath indignation Thirst for retaliation Bit the hand of the feeder Never trusted the leader Locked and held a cold sweat That's how I was till I met you But you awake the giant But you awake the giant But you awake the giant The giant in me Tossed and turned is the dreamer Hard to find the redeemer Bought and sold by my old friends Cast admit to a dead end Stamped and marked as a bad debt That's how I was till I met you But you awake the giant But you awake the giant But you awake the giant The giant in me And in that dying haze Where the giant lay inside me Waiting to rise You found a willing heart And you made it start to break free And you moved me But you awake the giant (Elevate my fate) But you awake the giant (I'm going to make

Living in the Golden Age [Lawrence Gowan]

Living In The Golden Age Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan "All's well," say the tower bells And have for many years But not so say the ones who know Through a veil of tears A cold place is the world they face The one they never made Held back by the cruel attack They remain afraid And dream to share the light again Here we're living In the golden age The world has never Set a brighter stage While many ragged souls are bleeding Some have just begun to fight Can't change an angry world Overnight Old scores, settled years before Must they live again To run wild with the future child And to bring new pain Dark days seem to find a way To pass their sins along To sons born on a planet torn Where they don't belong We dream to share the light again Here we're living In the golden age The world has never Set a brighter stage While many ragged souls are bleeding Some have just begun to fight Can't change an angry world Overnight

Dedication [Lawrence Gowan]

Dedication Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan I could never count the hours of patience Nor how many times I've turned away Lost within this cause that lives to taunt me Long as I may breath, I'll get to you one day Wait on me now I say, wait on me now, oh I swear No power, no reason, no purpose, which stands before me Will shake my attention or focus from this one belief Locked away - in time, the door will open All those things that hide will be revealed "Never" is a word that's lost all meaning Nothing in this world will ever be more real Wait on me now I say, wait on me now, oh I swear No power, no reason, no purpose, which stands before me Will shake my attention or focus from this one belief You know my dedication Oh, you know Wait on me now Oh, wait on me now Oh, wait on me now, oh I swear No power, no reason, no purpose, which stands before me Will shake my attention or focus from this one belief Oh no, no reason, will change my dedica

Human Drama [Lawrence Gowan]

Human Drama Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Yeah yeah You get time, time But all that really changes is the state of your mind You get strong, strong But strength can be elusive when your fears turn on And you run for cover, but you never escape the storm In the human drama, that's how it can be In the human drama you're throwing at me You get tears, tears But all you want is pleasure to fill out your years You get love, love But wish you'd never known it when it starts to get rough And you run for cover, but you never escape the storm In the human drama, that's how it can be In the human drama you're throwing at me When you feel hope is fading Let your soul learn to fly Fly, yeah, yeah And you run for cover, but you never escape the storm In the human drama, that's how it can be In the human drama you're throwing at me In the human drama In the human drama In the human drama In the human drama In the human drama In the human drama In

Forever One [Lawrence Gowan]

Forever One Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Raise your hands Lift up my soul Through your eyes Envision my dreams Cast your light I will follow For night has fallen The demon lurks Before I fall victim I cling to these words Forever one And ever strong at my shoulder Forever one And sure as hard wind blow colder We'll go on Break the fear Of tomorrow Drown the past In these waters Trust today To another For nothing matters As much as this The fire surrounds us And all that there is Forever one And ever strong at my shoulder Forever one And sure as hard wind blow colder We'll go on

One Brief Shining Moment [Lawrence Gowan]

One Brief Shining Moment Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan One brief shining moment Your suspicious nature Keeps you on your guard And you learn to trust it In a world so hard But one day you'll erase it And my heart will replace it One shining moment One brief shining moment That's your life Hold it Close to mine Hold it One brief shining moment With a million problems Beating down your door Is it any wonder That you scream "no more"! But your heart holds one purpose Let it rise to the surface One shining moment One brief shining moment That's your life Hold it Close to mine Hold it One brief shining moment But your heart holds one purpose Let it rise to the surface One shining moment One brief shining moment That's your That's your life One shining moment One brief shining moment One shining moment One brief shining moment One shining moment One brief shining moment One shining moment One brief shining moment One shining moment One

60 Second Nightmare [Lawrence Gowan]

60 Second Nightmare Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Can this be really happening You're witness to a deadly thing Confirming every deepest fear That you've been hiding all these years It's a fatal mistake And your hands start to shake Not a thing can be done Once the worst has begun 60 second nightmare Everyone will see their 60 second nightmare Burned into their eyes Seeing is believing - camera never lies And you reel to the snap From the jaws of the trap You couldn't have expected this It didn't look so poisonous With shock and terror on your face Doomed to watch it all take place With your hands at your side Just along for the ride Save your loathing regret 'Cause you'll never forget Out of the night It'll come without warning Or out of the blue On a bright sunny morning Bur darker than dark It will thank you And scar you for life

Great Dirty World [Lawrence Gowan]

Great Dirty World Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan There you sit Starring at the dead screen And it's sad Life ain't like your day dream Every rat, gets an easy pigeon Every snake, somehow works a way in It's hard enough to sleep at night Darlin', so you've been kicked inside You're not the first one missing a pound of pride You'll see worse than me in your day Sooner or later everyone's heard to say - all in all It's a great dirty world Never safe You're at the disadvantage Then you start to hear the subtle message: Play along - in time they're going to reach you Play it down - eventually they beat you It's hard enough to sleep at night Everyone's cut by this knife Don't expect nothing from life But everything we've got to give it Give it all Give it all Give it all It's hard enough to sleep at night Darlin', so you've been kicked inside You're not the first one missing a pound of pride
