THE NIGHT
I look at you and see the night
The romance that stirs behind,
Don't ask me what I want from you
Because I'm afraid of that truth,
That all I'll ever want is you.
I see the darkness behind your light
The power that burns behind,
I want to tell you everything is alright
Be there for all your nights,
Hold you every night.
I want to hear you whisper my name
Spend time as lovers do,
And when we shiver from thunder's rain
I want to be standing beside you,
Always standing beside you.

Hold Your Breath

HOLD YOUR BREATH
Baby come once or twice
The earth is moving and the sky sure looks nice
Holds her breath, until the magic ends.
He holds her now, the children cry
He does not understand she's of another mind
Holds her breath, keeps it all in.
Call it what you will, I can see the freeze
You've lost your faith in the summer breeze.
I know my words can't give you any peace
You've lost your faith in the summer breeze.
He sees her now, at the end of a rainbow
Her eyes are smiling but her heart is unstable,
Holds his breath, not to scare her away.
He's running blind, It's all he sees
The earth is moving real fast under his feet,
Holds his breath, they can't take it away.
Call it what you will, I can see the freeze
You've lost your faith in the summer breeze.
And my words won't give you any peace
You've lost your faith in the summer breeze.

SEVEN LAWS OF LOVE
Cling to me in the morning, before you leave
You wanted me naked because you saw the truth in me.
Think of me as a secret that's your's alone
Infatuate until your perceptions enchant the world you own.
Seven Laws Of Love.
Let soul meet soul, step into the loving unknown
Share your spirit with me and take what you do not possess alone.
Let flesh meet flesh, let the energies emerge
Become the creative force behind the entire universe.
Seven Laws Of Love.
Relinquish your last claims to separation, see the self as the liar
Find yourself outside of I, Me, Mine.
Become both man and woman, let your desires be both's desires
Embrace your passion for love, for love is life.
Seven Laws Of Love.
Become intimate with the spirit, return to ecstasy
Before you leave in the morning cling to me.
Cling to me my darling, Never forget our desires
You know you understand your life better,
Because you understand mine.
Seven Laws Of Love.

THE TALE OF MO' CALASKI'S HEAD
Well I work, Until my fingers bleed
And I hurt, for what the world has done to me
And I loved this woman like she came out of a dream
But just like all the others, she proved a no good cheat
A no good cheat.
Well I hate, hate, hated, that man that turned her head
But I knew that fate would soon be bringing me Mo'Calaski's head,
It was on a cold october night, on the eve of the dead
When that heartless slimy bastard got the taste of my lead
I shot him dead.
CHORUS:
Well I shot shot shot that man until he died
And I stood there over him, watching his blood thin
Happy as I watched his life slowly leave him.
Well I saw his eyes darken and I saw his skin pale
I took away his future and his right to a Christian grave,
I felt the fury leave me as I stood under the moon
I needed the fire of whisky, I needed O'malley's saloon.
I was greeted by the lipstick of a dancer called Elaine
And she took me upstairs and she took away my pain,
Well she paid me sweet attention and I paid her all her dues
Although I was empty of my demons, I still felt the hand of doom.
CHORUS:
Well that night I lay sweating, my brow was all aflame
The hours bought a fever, It was the touch of Samhain,
My pistol lay beside me happy as a loyal pet
It knew nothing of my pain it knew nothing of regret.
The whore lover to the left of me, my fury to my right
The stoic moon watched over the gloom and welcomed the evil night.
Well the panic through that small town wrenched me from my slumber
And I rushed to the window unaware of the curse I'd put us under,
It was Mo' Calaski's corpse, it had returned from the dead,
Blasting a hole the size of a large turnip through Gabe McKindrick's head,
The explosion of his six guns, lit the entire street
Children's faces in the windows caught in frozen silent screams.
Monaghan McMonahaine came behind raising a shovel,
But Calaski's guns were fast and after the blast
Monahaine's head was in a puddle.
His mouth it bubbled open, his eyes in shock surprise,
He never knew that you could behead a man with the blast of a forty-five.
My mind was in confusion, I just didn't understand
For within the silver moonlight, the silver in my hand
Had killed that man.
CH:
Well I grabbed my trusty fury and I took hold of my shot-gun,
A gift my father gave me because I hadn't got one,
I rushed out onto main street, blasting thunder from my fist,
Lightening splitting raindrops, cutting through the spurting scarlet mist.
Each and every angry bullet passed right through Calaski
And as I landed in the sopping mud, he was standing tall above me,
His eyes screamed of creation, the cosmic birth of all desire,
This man had taken my woman, now he would take my life.
Within that single moment, facing such a tragic loss
A revelation struck me, speaking of love, revenge and cost.
I had no hold over that angel that had taken to another wind
And all my motives for justice were born from my sin.
I had made a man in-human in that hour of the witch
And the crafts that had created him were the jealousies in which all man's pride sits.
CH:
Well, O'malley came out blasting, a look of death in his eyes,
Striding through heaven's tears chanting bible verse and line,
The main street looked a chapel, candles lined along the road,
The rain it couldn't kill them and the evil wind just moaned.
The clouds, they all collected, becoming Cathedral, peaked and spired,
The barkeep glowed in the orange light, a preacher wreathed in fire.
He blew a hole right through Calaski, then shot away one hand.
The demon cowboy twitched a bit, then returned to his killing plan.
"I'm calling in your tab"! Said O'malley without a smile.
Calaski raised his pistol, said "I'll pay up on the other side"!
But the gift my father gave me, roaring like a bell
Ripped apart the road on main street opening a gateway to hell.
The candles burned around us, igniting heaven's tears
And at last I saw, in Calaski's face, a freezing gripping fear.
I blew away his working arm and took out both his legs
nd before his torso hit the ground I had shot away his head.
It flew right up into the night, a comet through the air
Landing upon a blazing flame that replaced that evil stare.
O'malley said, tilting his head, "Well, aint that a Goddamned thing"!
And I knew that Goddamned was I for my unforgivable sin.
CH:
Well that town never forgot, nor forgave that evil curse
And every anniversary that followed they remembered the hurt,
They had met death in their small town, witnessed evil in their land
All because of the jealousies in the mind of a single man.
They placed faces in the windows with burning watching eyes
So everyman they looked upon remembered the folly in desire.
So when you're scooping out that pumpkin or thinking of revenge
You'd be wise to remember the tale of
Mo' Calaski's Head.

THE SINGER
Take each word I share with you as a kiss upon your skin
Admit I'm one of the numbered few that you ever allowed in,
Our descent into the waters was not as smooth as it could have been,
But you sang there
And it is from there, I know you still sing.
Many hands have been and gone knowing the pleasures of your touch
And you in your precious way remain repentant of so much,
But you continued waiting for Midas to bless you with a curse,
So you could remain there
And it is from there, I know you still hurt.
I want to hold you like a Silverback
But like the serpent I need your soul
You've known muscle and you've known mind
But I've a passion you've never known,
I'll be here daughter of Lir listening to you sing to them all,
And you are still there
And it is from there, I heard you call.
With lips moist like a window pain sweating in the night
I don't think we've ever been this close or that with ever been this tight,
I'm waiting in the shadows while you yearn for them all,
And you stand there
And hit is from there, I heard your soul.

ALONE
I've seen you dance, here before
Within the arms of many men
I couldn't hope to out perform,
I see you glide across the floor
So warm.
I've heard your voice, whisper light
Carried on the air of hushed goodbyes
Under the strike of midnight,
And there you go, never alone
Lost to the swarm.
And there you go, never alone
Never alone.
You've been undressed, here before
Within the minds of many men
I'd find it hard not to recommend,
But I feel you glide close to me
So warm.
They see us dance, dance as one
Carried on the air of hushed surprise,
Within a flood of spotlight
And you are mine, never alone
Never alone.
And you are mine, never alone
Never alone.

THE MILES
I love your face girl, It's getting to me
It's not like I've never met this scene,
There's something about this
It's getting to me,
My body is craving the heat.
CH:
You can wade on, through the miles
Dig your own path but be sure you've laid the guide ropes behind.
For I'm cold and I'm tired,
I'm not sure I can carry us the miles.
But I see your face girl, It's a pleasure to me
It seems to wash away the screams,
There's something about this
Your dangerous love,
I can hear the roll of dice above.
I need your face girl, I'm sick of the lying
Greets me like an open fire.
There's something about this
That's gotten to me
It's in my blood now, an elemental bleed.
CH:
We can wade on, though the miles
Dig our own path but be sure to leave the guide ropes behind.
I'm cold and I'm tired,
But your face can carry me the miles.

Lay Down

LAY DOWN
Take my hand you lonely wraith
I see you're lonesome there,
You may not need my warmth for our passion
But can you imagine us lying there,
In the fire
In the hearth of all desires
We'll melt our hearts down to gold.
You want to be held like a diamond
By hands that need to touch,
Kissing your skin like a warm breeze
Every movement singing.
CH:
Lay down with me babe
Do not rise, do not rise
Consume me one more time,
Within your eyes
Is the hearth of all desire
We strike the iron, you and I
We strike together, you and I.
Then we are naked and we are raw
We use our bodies like fire,
We come on like we've never been there before
Had our time but God we're looking wild.
CH:
Lay down with me babe
Do not rise, do not rise
Consume me one more time,
Within your eyes
Is the hearth of all desire
We strike the iron, you and I
We strike together, you and I.

My Beauty

MY BEAUTY
Call up all mortal remains
Call to see what the Lord has to say,
For it is surely the end of days
I lost my lover to an unspeakable pain.
I loved her for what she gave to me
I loved her for what she took from me,
Between the lines and between the sheets
From across a crowded room she would speak to me.
CH:
Think of me
Think of me
Think of my beauty (repeat)
Halt all memory
Useless now she's not next to me,
When she smiled I'd never seen a soul as free
When she cried I'd never known such humanity.
CH:
Sing for me
Sing for me
Sing for my beauty (repeat)
Continue passing the days
While I can no longer speak her name,
You never even noticed the change
But I know what she would say.
CH:
Drink to me
Drink to me
Drink to my beauty (repeat)

Goodbye Moonlight

GOODBYE MOONLIGHT
Goodbye moonlight, goodbye romance
The legend is over, it was caught on the wind
The days seem strong and holy compared to the night
But my soul will always remain the nocturnal kind.
I used to believe in demons I used to fear
But now the fantasies are over I look to a bright career
I look ahead for answers to the day's early light
It delivers the beauty but it forgets why.
CH:
They say "Come on, come home
Come into the light".
They say "Come on, come home
Come into the light".
I enter and am welcomed they all know me by name
I see the colours in their eyes and their all the same
I tell them their light it is blinding it'll weaken our souls
We need the insecurity of the darkness to strengthen our resolve.
CH:
You were my only one my pleasure my pain
Now time has taken my love affair with your midnight rain
The dreaming is now over all nature has gone
For I am forced to hide in a world with no night time song.
CH:
There will be a statue of me somewhere
Saluting my victory in life's social fare
Telling how I traversed the plain doing no right and no wrong
While my heart called out for a night time song.

THE REVENGE
Oh my God can you help me
For I no longer feel no use,
Oh my God please forgive me
For I no longer see no truth
I see no truth in you.
CH:
You took my home and I have nothing left
You took my dog and I have nothing left
You stole my woman and I have nothing left
For me... (to Love)
Oh my God can you hear me
I no longer need your bread,
Oh my Lord don't dessert me
from all this noise in my head
To much noise in my head.
CH:
Oh my Lord I've been thinking
Maybe I should kill you now,
But I know you'll see me coming
See my designs long before
I even get close to your town.
CH:
So my God I'll remember
To drink your poison wine,
And while I'm eating your body
I'll remember all your crimes
Every one of your crimes.
