1. THE SHINING

There's a man who sees all there is to see
What the future holds for all
As the days grow dark with the grim and final warning
Beware of the ones with invisible friends
They will steal into your mind
And all too soon the signs begin to show

Rise up to the shining
Live long live now
Rise up to the shining
Don't be blind by fools again
Fools again

As the pages turn and the story's told
From the visions he's seen
The house on the hill
With the haunted eyes that call
Noone laughed as madness came out
To play it's game
If you stay too long you'll finally go insane

Rise up to the shining
Live long live now
Rise up to the shining
Don't be blind by fools again
Fools again

Bells will take their toll
On your way
There's no way we're born to shine
Before our time, all your life
You're on your own
Lonely road
Lost in a time
Let the light lead your way
To the golden throne
It's the only way

Rise up to the shining
Live long live now
Rise up to the shining
Don't be blind by fools again
Rise up to the shining
Live long live now
Rise up the shining
Don't be blind by fools again

Oh rise up, to the shining
Wise up they're gonna steal your mind
Rise up, the house is gonna haunt you
No one laughed, no one cried
You stayed too long
You're finally gonna stay


2. SOME KIND OF WOMAN

She's young, but lord what a woman she's quick as a brawl at five
She's class, one hell of a woman, she really confused my mind
She's bad, power of the pleasure is far enough ta chase
She's fast, power of the pedal is keeping up the pace

Wise up, she's some kind of woman
Wise up, you can't get away
Wise up, ooh just when you think that its safe

I'm gone, i can't justify when i ain't got some control
So long, i ain't gonna stop 'till i step right off this world
She's gone, i guess i'm the winner of an innocent little time
Don't look, a tap on the shoulder sends a shiver down my spine

Wise up, she's some kind of woman
Wise up, can't get away
Wise up, oh just when you think that its safe (safe) ...
She's back

Cryin', to give all the lovin' but i never was enough
I cried, i prayed up to heaven but the lord said, "boy that's tough."
This smile, only served me to ruin me when i thought i had direction
That walk, how the hell did she do it every move was perfection

Wise up, she's some kind of woman
Wise up, you can't get away
Wise up, ooh just when you think that its safe
Ooh she's back
Ah she's back
Ahh my motors runnin'
It's buzzin'
Ooh she's back
Ah
Ooh she's back
Ooh


3. BLACK MOON

Oh the devil is rising with the moon
He cries and my blood runs cold.
Oh no never was the darkness so black,
No light and nowhere to go.

My spirit is crying for a love
So tired of being alone.
I remember he came here to steal,
and You are his stealer of souls.

I see a black moon rising,
and it's calling out my name.
Oh it's calling my name.

I've been blinded, lost and confused,
darkness will call me no more.
Heaven is no friend of mine,
no god ever knocked on my door.

I see a black moon rising,
and it's calling out my name.
Oh it's calling my name.

I'm standing on the dark side of time
Reaching for the power of her hand.
She's weaving an unholy light
And calls from lucifer's land.

I see a black moon rising,
and it's calling out my name.
An angel of hell is rising,
heaven's no friend of mine.

I see a black boon rising,
and it's calling out my name,
I see a black moon rising,
and it causes so much pain.

An angel of hell is rising,
heaven's no friend of mine.
I see a black moon rising,
and it's calling out my name.

It's calling my name,
this spirit's crying for love.

Heaven's no friend of mine.
