1. WITCH WOLF
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?
2. THE GROVE OF EGLANTINE
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 no
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 of Eglantine
We will join as lovers might
Between the lines of a dream
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
In Eglantine...of a dream
3. YOUNG MAN
people say with age there comes experience
but as soon as you are born you start to die
all the 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 stole away
the young man
short are the days
of the young man
young man!
young man!
4. AS BAD AS THIS
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 catch you hanging there.
Did you ever in your life before
feel as bad as this?
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.
5. WINNER TAKES ALL
you've got to be strong
if you're going to make it baby
you've got to stand tall
if you're going to survive
so just take my hand
and I'll show you how to feel alive
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
winner take all
that's the way I play it
playing my cards as the world goes by
winner take all
that's the way that I get high
you live your own life
always needing someone baby
then I appear to answer your call
together I know
we can ride the highway past them all
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
winner take all
that's the way I play it
playing my cards as the world goes by
winner take all
that's the way that I get high
high high
winner take all
that's the way I play it
playing my cards as the world goes by
winner take all
that's the way that I get high
6. 22 YEARS
Lord, she's my heart and soul
I don't even have to tell ya
she knows how to rock and roll
well this crazy lovin' mama
makin' everything all right
I don't even have to tell ya
she makes things seem outta sight
all right
whenever I'm down
and nothings going right at all
I just think about my baby
and all I've got to do is call
when the evening's looking pretty
and the day's hanging out too long
I know my baby cares about me
right or wrong
it took a long time to find her
it took a lot of laughs and tears
it took a long time to find her
it took me 22 years
I've got a crazy little mama
said, Lord, she's my heart and soul
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I don't even have to tell ya
she knows how to rock and roll
well this crazy lovin' mama
makin' everything all right
yeah
I don't even have to tell ya
she makes things seem outta sight
all right
it took a long time to find her
it took a lot of laughs and tears
it took a long time to find her
it took me 22 years
oh my
22 years
22 years
22 years
22 years
22 years
22 years
22 years
7. JONAS PSALTER
When Captain Jonas Psalter
Sailed his ship to sea
Ann Bonnie kept him company
The skull and crossbones flew
Above the ocean blue
The captain's men were 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
Bust 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
8. THE SERPENT IS RISING
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
9. KRAKATOA
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 an island in the sun
where the hell fire belching earth had destructively left none.
10. HALLELUJAH CHORUS
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
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
King of kings and Lord of lords
King of kings and Lord of lords
And He shall reign forever and ever
Forever and ever
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah
