Could you picture for a moment A billion stars converging into one I'm checking western constellations And everything that Dallas ever done I'm taking over every heaven I am the storm front in Eden dregs complain You're all a bunch of fallen angels And I don't even believe you lost your names You wanna cry You wanna cry You wanna cry I'm calling all the sons and daughters Of the black sun eclipse of Carbondale Cause NASA tried to cut the power And put all the secrets up for sale I'll never whisper words to warriors I never wanted to take His name in vain It's time to listen to the magi And shake the beast with all these hosts proclaim You're gonna cry You're gonna cry You're gonna cry

What's that shade being that gave me such a fright Confirmed by Thunder Strikes On some messed up late night broadcast show And for every love you claimed was something real And you feel like letting go And you want to run and hideaway from those shadow people Well I've read a lot of witchy doomsday books And I sang a lot of hooks Just trying to be some lo-fi dude And when they bury me and write my epitaph I hope you have a laugh And know that I just beat the wrath Of those shadow people What's that shade being that gave me such a fright Confirmed by Thunder Strikes On some messed up late night broadcast show And when they bury me and write my epitaph I hope you have a laugh And know that I just beat the wrath Of those shadow people

If you feel It's just a moment of April's real and alive in the back of your house Heaven is parquet floors And I want to get high When I'm feeling low She is electric springtime C'mon now If you hear The sound of tapestries all torn clear and alive in the back of your house Heaven is a golden door And I want to get buzzed Gotta give me more She is electric springtime C'mon now

My name is Colossus And I've been here before us I reach out in the darkness And change like Everly's chorus But we believe in you And yesterday slayed with you crawling on my entrance We fall apart and we're wasted in the back rooms But we all begin again My name is Colossus And you used to call me your champion But I'll streak across the sky above and lo behold entranced inside This spiral staircase You believe that we are yesterday's news when Don't believe in you and waterfall Beyond beyond beyond beyond the water Wait for us Don't say that I didn't warn you Don't say that I was always a shadow Don't say that I didn't warn you Don't you believe that I was a shadow Don't say that I didn't warn you The dawn is breaking and I could believe you Don't say that I didn't warn you The shadow lies

If all we are is all we are Will you apologize to compromise Every Saturday you must delay Your sweater weather tether forever betrayed And I never even wanted it I'm ashamed to say Can I replace my leopard's heart Or could I ever endeavor to change Minerva This book of days you tried to hide I'm a latch key ghost and the door is locked from inside You hide in the light of the infinite you give it away You hide in the light of the infinite you give it away You hide in the light of the infinite you give it away Don't you know that we could be always You hide in the light of the infinite you give it away Do you believe do you believe You hide in the light of the infinite you give it away Don't you know that we are forever You hide in the light of the infinite you give it away We believe we believe

Reflex Blood 02:31
And from the moment I arrived I kept the dream alive By handing it over to Wahoo And I found the sound of tearing every newspaper down And I’m tired of loving I wanna drink it down and chase destruction And when my fist meets your face Such a cosmic disgrace of submission Standard reflex blood

Open lanes I wanted to feel that love

Witching hour You know I never wanted much Just a clear spot on the horizon And even though you’ve had enough You forget every bad way a fixed camera Made us get involved They made us swear on a stack of Bibles Never to tell the world What we learned along the way And you will pay Witching hour Looks tight on You’re wearing floral shirts And you ignore tight on You never wanted to believe that Now love is free That love is free

True Blue 03:48
True Blue When I read about your requiem too Didn't really make much sense at the time That a sky that seemed so brilliant and clear That belonged to you my dear And you won't find your way back home You forget every thunderdome Take a wish and when the coast is clear And the daylight changes here True Blue When you stuck that knife so deep in your heart Did you think about the very next part When the sky turns from blue to black And how could you ever get back For the heart pumps a sacred rhyme That vibrates in this space and time But now you gave your heart to the blade And you rest in eternal shade You know that you'll always You'll always be true blue to me You know that you’ll always You’ll always stand in the shadow

about

Doleful Lions Chicago, Illinois

Doleful Lions are one the great lost bands of modern times, its not an under achiever thing rather more that they’ve been constantly overlooked in favour of ensembles, fads and fashions less musically astute and considerably less talented, always occupying their own little orbit shying away from the various bandwagons that have come passing them by - Mark Barton (The Sunday Experience) ... more
