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

The Shadow People
02:53

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

Electric Springtime
06:15

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

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

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
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

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
