California Son
Son of the morning
Hold your head up high
Spread your wings like an eagle
You're your mother's child
You got your motor running
Speeding faster than light
And there's no denying
You're born to be wild
Set your soul among the stars today
You're a warrior child
You're just an ocean away
Sitting with Ra by your side
In the California sun
Your spirits are so high
You've only just begun
Among stars you ride
To ride free you were born
On highway number one
You're a rider on the storm
Dreamer
In the dawn comes the sun
Open your eyes
Morning comes unbegun
Like the first sunrise
Dreamer
What have you done with your life
Dreamer
Have you come to realize
You gave it all with no return
It's just another lesson learned
Go walk on, all yesterdays are gone
Dreamer, have you seen her
On a white horse tall with pride
Eyes turned to the sky
In the dream comes the sun
Open your eyes
Morning comes unbegun
Like the first sunrise
Dreamer
What have you done with your life
Dreamer
Have you come to realize
You gave it all with no return
It's just another lesson learned
Hold on to your dreams, it's a new dawn
Dreamer, have you seen her
On a white horse tall with pride
Eyes turned to the sky
In the dawn comes the sun
Open your eyes
Morning comes unbegun
Like the first sunrise
Morning sun comes along
Shining a new light
The night is gone for so long
Leave it all behind
Phoenix
You, what are you trying to do
You, all lost and torn and blue
Regardless of them breaking all the rules
Fool, what does it take you to come through
The world is yours, don't hide below
Don't you know, you'll reap just what you sow
You gotta stand up to your fire
You, you weren't singing
Yeah you, you can't sing when your crying
The world is yours, don't hide below
Don't you know, you'll reap just what you sow
You gotta stand up to your fire
You've got the universe
Inside of you, the stars
The world is yours, don't hide below
You gotta step out from the shadow
You gotta stand up to your fire
No more swan song, nightingale
Burnt those bridges, walked away
Heart's a feather on the scale
Mercury's a-comin' your way
Dancing With Mr D (Cover version)
Yeah, down in the graveyard where we have our tryst
The air smells sweet, the air smells sick
He never smiles, his mouth merely twists
The breath in my lungs feels clinging and thick
But I know his name, he's called Mr. D
And one of these days he's going to set you free
Human skulls is hanging right around his neck
The palms of my hands is clammy and wet
Lord, I was dancing, dancing, dancing so free
And dancing, dancing, dancing so free
And dancing, Lord, keep your hand off me
And dancing with Mr. D., with Mr. D., with Mr. D
And will it be poison put in my glass?
And will it be slow or will it be fast?
The bite of a snake, the sting of a spider
A drink of Belladonna on a Toussaint night
Hiding in a corner in New York City
Looking down...
Reaper On Your Heels
Have you ever seen the light
On a lonely summer day drifting off
Walking by the old stones in the yard
Contemplating when your number is up
When you used up all your time
And the flame in you is gone
When your skin has turned to white
Whatever happened to the ghosts of this town
All the bones laid down to rest down below
When the bleak man comes around
Find a quiet spot to rest
Lay all your sorrow down
When you used up all your time
And the flame in you is forlorn
When your skin has turned to white
And your summers they're all gone
Turn to dust
All the young ones keep on yearning
Turn to dust
The world it keeps on turning
Eyes In The Sky
By the foot of the mountain
I washed my hands out in the blue lands
I think you understand
Life has ways sometimes
You just don't know
Whether to stay
Or just to go
A myriad of stars
The eyes in the sky upon you
A timeless gaze
Ever outliving your days
Got the beast by the horns
But my heart's a morgue
Not asking for redemption
Just wish I wasn't born
Need an army of angels
To save my soul
Deliver me
I think I'm losing control
You're a giant oh mount black
But I've never seen you so sad
Heavy head in your hands
Before The Sun
There once was a lady
Of dust and gold
Lost faith and all her money
But mostly her hold
Had travelled a long way
Down a thousand roads
But what she had found
Is better untold
In the dark, all alone
Who do you call on
But a heart filled with foolish hope
Is better than none
There once was a lady
Coming in from the cold
Her days now so shadowed
And lost all her hope
Be still now my lady
For you don't know
No treasures are lost, you know
You better behold
In the dark, all alone
Who do you call on
But a heart filled with foolish hope
Is better than none
My lady don't cry now
For you don't know
Tomorrow awaits you
A heart of gold
Aton
When you're down and your spirit is broken
You're in the wild and on your own
A heavy storm on the horizon
Rain and thunder in your heart
Churning waters and the rain
Keeps pouring down
Sunshine ignite
Sunshine stay a while
When you're down and the living ain't easy
Giving up when the hour is dark
Sail your ship across churning waters
When you're drowning in the flood
When you are coming down
Sunshine, ignite
Sunshine, stay a while
Sunshine, ignite
Bathe me in your spectrum of light
Pour your light on me, Aton
Sunshine, ignite
Sunshine, stay a while
Sunshine, ignite
Pale sun rise, make me alright
Faux Pharaoh
Who will come to save your soul
Will you see the light
Pharaoh of death and scorn
Bones of dust and robes long torn
Choked on his heart of stone
He's dead
Morbid flesh, black caves for eyes
Poison snakes right by his side
The pharaoh is dead
Paranoia and decay
On his grave I dance, I'm dressed in red
Lying on his bed of death
Long exhaled is his last breath
The pharaoh is dead
Paranoia and decay
On his grave I dance, I'm dressed in red
All your shrouds they couldn't hide
You're a master of despise oh yeah
Three thousand years ago you've died
A simple man with rotten pride oh yeah
Stone coffin's where you hide
A necropolis of lies
Paranoia and decay
On his grave I dance, I'm dressed in red
Down below in his decay and paranoia
On his grave I dance, I'm dressed in red
