Dreaming (tell me)

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema: The Tepidarium

Shades of night, fall upon my eyes

Lonely world fades away

Misty light, shadows starts to rise

Lonely world fades away

In my dreams your face is all I see

Through the night you share your love with me

Dreaming visions of you

Feeling all the love I never knew

Here we are on the crossroads of forever

Shining star lights the way

Walk with me on the winds of time

Love's mystery is for us to find

Dreaming visions of you

Feeling all the love I never knew, I never knew

Until that day, the day until I find you

I won't rest, I won't let go

Somehow, some way, I know I'll be beside you

To warm my heart and fill my soul

Lonely at the top

2012-02-12T13:56:00.000+02:00

Boris Vallejo: Conan opening a bottle

It's a long way down from the top to the bottom

And I'm slipping all the time

So many people around me

Trying to take whats really mine

I made it all alone

Not a single helping hand

So many people are afraid of

The things they don't understand

It's lonely at the top

Everybody's trying to do you in

All the losers down below

Trying to drag you back there again

It's lonely at the top

It's a long, long lonely drop

And I feel I'm slipping day by day

My number isn't listed

But they stop me in the street

Catch me in the elevator

Now they're turning on the heat

I think I'm going crazy

But I know I'm not alone

There's a private detective in the car behind

And a bugging device on the phone

It's lonely at the top

Everybody's trying to do you in

All the losers down below

Trying to drag you back there again

It's lonely at the top

It's a long, long lonely drop

And I feel I'm slipping day by day

It's lonely at the top

Everybody's trying to do you in

All the losers down below

Trying to drag you back there again

It's lonely at the top

It's a long, long lonely drop

And I feel I'm slipping day by day

Beyond here lies nothin'

2012-02-11T19:00:00.002+02:00

Here I go again...

2012-02-10T19:00:00.003+02:00

J.W. Waterhouse: Touchstone, the Jester

I don't know where I'm goin

But I sure know where I've been

Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time

But here I go again, here I go again.

Tho' I keep searching for an answer

I never seem to find what I'm looking for.

Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on

'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known.

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Just another heart in need of rescue

Waiting on love's sweet charity

An' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days

'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known.

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time

But here I go again, here I go again,

Here I go again, here I go.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known.

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone

'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known.

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time

But here I go again, here I go again,

Here I go again, here I go,

Here I go again.

Bye bye beautiful

Frank Frazetta: Top of morning

Did you ever hear what I told you?

Did you ever read what I wrote you?

Did you ever listen to what we played?

Did you ever let in what the world said?

Did we get this far just to feel your hate?

Did we play to become only pawns in the game?

How blind can you be, don't you see?

You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting

Bye, bye, beautiful!

Dreams come through...

2012-02-06T19:00:00.004+02:00

You can't run away forever

But there's nothing wrong

With getting a good head start

You want to shut out the night,

You want to shut down the sun

You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart

Think of how we'd lay down together

We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong

Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods

Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs

I treasure your love, I never want to lose it

You've been through the fires of hell

And I know you've got the ashes to prove it

I treasure your love, I want to show you how to use it

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt

And I know you've got the scars to prove it

Remember everything that I told you,

And I'm telling you again that it's true

When you're alone and afraid, and you're completely amazed

To find there's nothing anybody can do

Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

There's always something magic,

There's always something new

And when you really really need it the most

That's when rock and roll dreams come through

The beat is yours forever, the beat is always true

And when you really really need it the most

That's when rock and roll dreams come through for you

Once upon a time was a backbeat,

Once upon a time all the chords came to life

And the angels had guitars even before they had wings

If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night

Remember everything that I told you,

And I'm telling you again that it's true

You're never alone cause you can put on the phones

And let the drummer tell your heart what to do

Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

The beat is yours forever

That's when rock and roll dreams come through

Hazy shade of winter

2012-02-04T19:00:00.003+02:00

(Winter boots)

Time, time, time, see what's become of me

While I looked around

For my possibilities

I was so hard to please

But look around, leaves are brown

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army band

Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride

Than what you've got planned

Carry your cup in your hand

And look around, leaves are brown now

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend

That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away

Simply pretend

That you can build them again

Look around, the grass is high

The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery

Weaving time in a tapestry

Won't you stop and remember me

But look around, leaves are brown now

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown

There's a patch of snow on the ground...

Herbert James Draper: The Kelpie

Waitin for somethin

That is never coming

So I guess I’ll be on my way

I know it’s over

we could never make it

so I guess I’ll just pull away.

Girl you been cheatin

and you been mistreatin

but I’m doin the best I can

all your confusion

and my disillusion

tell me when is a man a man?

Ooh, I couldn’t live without you

ooh, ooh I’d like to try

so many times

I’ve heard your hundred stories

so many times

I’ve heard you say goodbye.

I tried to hold you

remember I told you

that I know all about your lies

now that you’re goin

your vanity’s showin

I can see it all in your eyes.

Ooh, I couldn’t live without you

ooh, ooh I’d like to try

so many times

I’ve heard your hundred stories

so many times

I’ve heard you say goodbye.

Sittin on a rock

lookin out at the river

thinkin bout the boat

that’s takin you today

gonna take a while but

soon you’ll be a leavin

hope it’s not a streamer

but it’s pullin away.

Watchin all the waves

come rushin up behind you

kinda like an army

on surprise attack

you were always sayin

that you didn’t need me

I hope you really mean it

cause you’re never comin back.

Once upon a time

when you were just a baby

mama used to take you

to a friend of mine

you were always happy

playin with his cannon

then you came to me

and started wastin my time.

I remember when

you said you were a lover

that was just about

a year ago today

all you ever knew

was teasin and a cheatin

all you ever knew

was pullin away.

Waitin for somethin

That is never coming

So I guess I’ll be on my way

I know it’s over

we could never make it

so I guess I’ll just pull away.

There's no one here that feels no pain

deep inside we're all the same

and when the light begins to end

we meet a friend

Some people symbolize

the hope and fears beyond our eyes

and now you shine so clear and true

believe in you

Fly on, little chalk blue

fly on, I'm following you

and everybody in the world

is following too

fly on

When you're looked behind a door

you need your freedom there much more

and by your wings we'll learn to see

you hold the key

Fly on, little chalk blue

fly on, I'm following you

and everybody in the world

is following too

following you

fly on

Dream on!

2012-01-28T19:00:00.000+02:00

Every time when I look in the mirror

All these lines on my face getting clearer

The past is gone

It went by, like dusk to dawn

Isn't that the way

Everybody's got the dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows

Where it comes and where it goes

I know it's everybody sin

You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life

Is books written pages

Live and learn from fools and

From sages

You know it's true, oh

All these things you do come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears

Sing with me, just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

Sing with me, just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream on

Dream until your dreams come true

Dream on

Dream until your dreams come true

Dream on

Sing with me, sing for the year

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

Sing with me, just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me, sing for the year

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

Sing with me, just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away.

Edmund Blair Leighton: Duty

I know you're all alone tonight

And I hear your cries

From the world that lies

Beyond these lives

You've got dreams inside

They cut

I know

Cut so deep but you never show

That's the price you pay

Is your soul on the line my dear

As you take your bows

To a silent crowd

That never hears

Close your eyes for now

And leave your rage

Take my hand and walk the stage

That's the price you pay

There's no need to worry

Cause you have tomorrows

Another phase of life has begun

Am I getting through to you?

Can your mind reach beyond tonight

I believe your love for life

Will never die

So my child you ask

What does this mean

Cut the chains and chase the dream

That's the price you pay

Ooh yeah

That's the price you pay

When you come here to play

(Savatage: The price you pay)

Hold on!

Herbert James Draper: Ariadne

Look at me, see the love that you're missing

Can't you see that I'll always be there

You can't run you can't hide from the feeling tonight

Damage done. I guess love isn't fair.

Sometimes I wonder who you are

So close, but we've gone too far.

How long can I hold on till you say good-bye baby

You're gone and it's so wrong and now my heart cries for you girl.

Lonely days, fill my nights with such sorrow

Shades of grey, turn into blue tomorrows.

Sometimes I wonder where you are

So close, but your eyes are so far.

How long can I hold on till you say good-bye baby

You're gone and I can't go on and now my heart cries for you girl.

How long can I hold on till you say good-bye baby

You're gone and it's so wrong and now my heart cries for you girl.

Albert Ludovici: Lorelei

Merrily we sailed along

Though the waves were plenty strong

Down the twisting river Rhine

Following a song...

Legend's faded storyline

Tried to warn us all

Oh, they called her "Loreley"

Careful or you'll fall...

Oh, the stories we were told

Quite a vision to behold

Mysteries of the seas in her eyes of gold...

Laying on the silver stone, such a lonely sight

Barnacles become a throne, my poor Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

You would not believe your eyes, how a voice could hypnotize

Promises are only lies from Loreley

In a shade of mossy green, seashell in her hand

She was born the river queen, ne'er to grace the land...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

Oh, the song of Loreley

Charms the moon right from the sky...

She will get inside your mind, loveley Loreley...

When she cries "Be with me until the end of time"

You know you will ever be with your Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...'

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

William Adolphe Bouguereau: Nymphs and Satyr

Yesterday when I was young

2011-12-22T20:00:00.004+02:00

Edmund Blair Leighton: Fading laurels

(Seems the love I've known has always been
The most destructive kind
Yes, that's why now I feel so old
Before my time.)

Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.

The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I'd always built to last on weak and shifting sand.
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
And only now I see how the years ran away.

Yesterday when I was young
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all.

Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do.
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died.
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play.

There are so many songs in me that won't be sung,
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.
The time has come for me to pay for
Yesterday when I was young...

Sleeping in the fire...

Boris Vallejo: Alone

Touch, touch in the flame's desires

Feeling the pain's denial,

And your fingers in the fire

Look, look in the candle light

See in the flame of life

And my spell is our lie

[Chorus:]

Taste the love

The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb

The passion and all the pain are one

You're sleeping in the fire

Taste the love

The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb

You feel what it does and you're drunk on love

You're sleeping in the fire

I gaze at the flame and fire burn

And cry out the name of which I yearn

[Chorus]

Taste the love

The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb

The passion and all the pain are one

You're sleeping in the fire

Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale: Merlin and Vivien

I’ve been lost in the middle

Always trying to find the wishing well

Running around in circles

Never crossing the line

Don’t want to touch you

Don’t want to see

You’ve got a knife in your heart

Don’t say that you did it for me

Never unchain the night

Don’t tell me that the love is gone

Never unchain the night

Cause there’s always another turn

You know right where you want it

But you never gave it in return

Running me in circles

Always crossing the line

Don’t want to touch you

Leave you confused

You took the easy way out

When you looked through the eyes of a fool

Never unchain the night

Don’t tell me that the love is strong

Never unchain the night

Cause there’s always another turn

Never, never

Never unchain the night

Don’t tell me that the love is gone

Never unchain the night

I’m never gonna set you free

Never unchain the night

Don’t tell me that the love is gone

Never unchain the night

Cause there’s always another turn

Never unchain the night

Snow keeps falling down

From grace in the dark

Frozen tears in silent cries

Sadness, now color the battle field

All around, life is passing by

Falling from my eyes

Like a raindrop from the skies

Falling from my eyes

Oh, oh...

So Send me a Sign

Just a way to explain

Tell me what I can do

I'm turning insane

So Send me a Sign

Show me what I should do

Only one wish to tell

A word sincerely signed just for you

Winter paved my way, couldn't see nor believe

I watched the snow highlighting my grief

Oh, oh, oh...

Sadness, I long for the sun to shine

Please melt the ice wrapped around my heart

Falling from my eyes

Like a raindrop from the skies

Falling from my eyes

Oh, oh...

So Send me a Sign

Just a way to explain

Tell me what I can do

I'm turning insane

So Send me a Sign

Show me what I should do

Only one wish to tell

A word sincerely signed just for you

Nightmare lying here in the dark

Scared like my dreams made their mark

I wonder

Dreamer always alone

Lost in a part of myself I can't find anymore

I wonder if it's gonna end tonight

I can't sleep alone anymore

I need you here with me

Even though I closed all the doors

There's somethin' holdin' me

Never Ending Nightmare

Always there instead of you

Never Ending Nightmare

No escape this time from you

Lately been around someone new

Needed to fill in the space

That once sheltered you

Still I worry, if you're gonna be alright

I can't sleep alone anymore

Need someone here with me

All I ever wanted and more

My dreams are fighting for

Never Ending Nightmare

Always there instead of you

Never Ending Nightmare

Punishing me for the things I do

Never ending Nightmare

No escape this time from you

I'm just passing time before the ball

playing my guitar

I don't have to be where I don't want to be at all

maybe I'll go far

going nowhere sitting in a dream...

......in a dream

Sitting in a landscape full of sighs

dream away the day

making up a tune about the blueness of the skies

this is where I'll stay

going nowhere sitting in a dream...

......in a dream

Watching as a red and white balloon

sails across my mind

in between the images that drift along my tune

smile as they unwind

going nowhere sitting in a dream...

......in a dream

Eleanor Brickdale: The Pale Complexion of True Love

She'll come, she'll go.

She'll lay belief on you

Skin sweet with musky oil

The lady from another grinning soul

Cologne she'll wear. Silver and Americard

She'll drive a beetle car

And beat you down at cool Canasta

And when the clothes are strewn

don't be afraid of the room

Touch the fullness of her breast.

Feel the love of her caress

She will be your living end

She'll come, she'll go.

She'll lay belief on you

But she won't stake her life on you

How can life become

her point of view

And when the clothes are strewn

don't be afraid of the room

Touch the fullness of her breast.

Feel the love of her caress

She will be your living end [repeat]

No one came I threw one more

That really did the trick

Your daddy came and banged my head

He said what kind of man

Is this that's hanging 'round my girl

And threw me in the car

You're a farmer's daughter

Why do I always get

The kinda girl I didn't oughta get

I won't get no more eggs and water

Now I've laid the farmer's daughter

Imagine I was a full-grown man

And I could talk just right

Could I come and see you here

And do this every night

Wham! The door comes crashing down

Your daddy's face all pale

Says come with me you hairy bum

I'll put you in my jail

You're a judge's daughter

Why do I always get

The kinda girl I didn't oughta get

Now I'm getting jail and torture

'Cause I made the judge's daughter

It seems they're screaming law and order

When I go with anyone's daughter

Woman I should like some peace

And daddy hold your tongue

I think you're gonna die of fright

When I tell you what I've done

I can hear your tales and lies

You say I'm dumb and scraggy

But man this dumb and scraggy is

Your daughter's baby's daddy

She's a lucky daughter

Such a lucky daughter

Why did I always get

The kinda girl I didn't wanna get

Now I've got what I always fought for

'Cause I've married a rich man's daughter

Fairy elves,

Whose midnight revels, by a forest side

Or fountain, some belated peasant sees,

Or dreams he sees, while overhead the moon

Sits arbitress

And Then Home.

Oh It's Such A Perfect Day,

I'm Glad I Spent It With You.

Oh Such A Perfect Day,

You Just Keep Me Hanging On,

You Just Keep Me Hanging On.

Just A Perfect Day,

Problems All Left Alone,

Weekenders On Our Own.

It's Such Fun.

Just A Perfect Day,

You Made Me Forget Myself.

I Thought I Was Someone Else,

Someone Good.

Oh It's Such A Perfect Day,

John Everett Millais: The Knight Errant

October reminds me of my home

The cold nights I would wait all alone

Watching leaves turning from green to gold

The waiting feels like eternity

When waiting for love to come to me

Someone to have, someone to hold

Then once in a million years

A shining white knight will appear

Fairytales are coming true

I promise my heart only to you

A castle stands upon a hill

Our eyes meet and time is standing still

Your smile warmed me like the first summer sun

There's color where once was black and white

There's moonbeams where there was only night

I knew then and there you were the one

Then once in a million years

A shining white knight will appear

Fairytales are coming true

I promise my heart only to you

Then once in a million years

A shining white knight will appear

Fairytales are coming true

I promise my heart only to you

Only to you

Won't you ride my white horse...

Boris Vallejo: Teefa and the Butterflies

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head

Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead

Your life style to me seemed so tragic

With the thrill of it all

You fooled all the people with magic

You waited on Satan's call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure

Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport

Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth

Conceived in the eye of a secret

And they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse

Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course

Approaching a time that is classic

I hear maidens call

Approaching a time that is drastic

Standing with their backs to the wall

Was it polemically sent

l wanna know what you meant

I wanna know

I wanna know what you meant

2011-12-04T19:00:00.002+02:00

The day is gone

when the angels come to stay

And all the silent whispers

will be blown away

And lying in the corner

a pair of high heel shoes

Hanging on the wall

gold and silver for the blues

One too many wasted sunsets

One too many for the road

And after dark the door is always open

Hoping someone else will show

Someone is waiting behind

an unlocked door

Grey circles overhead empties

on the floor

The cracks in the walls have

grown too long

The slow hand is dragging on

afraid to meet the dawn

One too many wasted sunsets

One too many for the road

And after dark the door is always open

Hoping someone else will show

Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale: The Riches of Deceitfulness

While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand

While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land

While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow

Till the mountains crumble into the plain

Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'

Tread that fine line

Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah

Just passing our time

While we live according to race, colour or creed

While we rule by blind madness and pure greed

Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion

Through the eons, and on and on

Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'

We'll tread that fine line

Oh we'll keep on tryin'

Till the end of time

Through the sorrow all through our splendour

Don't take offence at my innuendo

You can be anything you want to be

Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be

Be free with your tempo, be free be free

Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself

Oooh, ooh -

If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky

If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die

If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask

Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask

Oh yes we'll keep on trying

Hey tread that fine line

Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah

And whatever will be - will be

We'll just keep on trying

Till the end of time

A little taste of baby's breath.... makes me forget about death

2011-12-01T21:00:00.005+02:00

A howling wind is whistling in the night

My dog is growling in the dark

Something's pulling me outside

To ride around in circles

I know that you have got the time

Coz anything I want, you do

You'll take a ride through the strangers

Who don't understand how to feel

In the deathcar, we're alive

I'll let some air come in the window

Kind of wakes me up a little

I don't turn on the radio

Coz they play shit, like....You know

When your hand was down on my dick

It felt quite amazing

And now that, that is all over

All we've got is the silence

In the deathcar, we're alive

So come on mandolins, play

When I touched you

I felt that you still had your baby fat

And a little taste of baby's breath

Makes me forget about death

At your age you're still joking

It ain't time yet for the choking

So now we can see the movie and see each other truly

In the deathcar, we're alive

I want to hear some mandolins

Lord Frederic Leighton: Cymon and Iphigenia

Sadly smile and turn the pages

realize the darkest ages

now - now that you have gone

try to scream and only whisper

deep inside you only want to call

but you just seem to fall

if we could see what tomorrow brings

forever we'll share a dream

share a dream

turn off the light

and don't be afraid of the night

I need someone to break my fall

and listen when my spirit calls

share a dream

still no one hears ...

I wake alone, you're nowhere near me

somehow someway dreams

all seem too real

the loneliness I feel

my heart is parched my

soul is thirsting

for the cup that your

love just won't fill

the loneliness leaves me still

if we could see what tomorrow brings

forever we'll share a dream

share a dream

turn off the light

and don't be afraid of the night

I need someone to break my fall

and listen when my spirit calls

share a dream

still no one hears ...

I won't be lonely forever, ever, ever

share a dream

cause I know that some day

we'll be together

I need you to break my fall

I need you, I need you

share a dream

let's share a dream

can this be real

I want to know

let's share a dream

just you and I

let's share a dream

And as he calls me, yes I do

How you doing?

I think of you

As we leave

I think of you

And I smile, I can't hide

I think of you

I don't know where your days are spent

Your lovers and you friends

But I know for sure

Of who you have been thinking

Far beyond the city's lights

Are two who dream a life

Forgive them if they never find their freedom

Their freedom

It's so late

I think of you

He walks me home

I think of you

I'm so sorry, I'm so tired

I think of you

And in the shadows

I think of you

I close my eyes

I think of you

Now I'm falling

I think of you

lalalalalalaay,

tararararttaraa i think of you

tararararttaraa

As he calls me, yes i do

i think of you..

i think of you of you.

yes i'm falling, i think of you

tararararttaraa

I think of you

As he calls my name, yes I do

I think of you

And in breathing

I think of you

And in seeing

I think of you

And in feeling

I think of you

And in living

I think of you

Bright lights fading...

Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale: Father

Father, if all I can be is a man

And all I can ask of you Father, my Father

How can I be in your plan?

Send me a sign from the heavens, in riddle or rhyme

Descend from the skies of forever, pray give me a time

For I have reached the end of the line . . .

Defender of truth and of freedom, am I living a lie?

I render my fruits to thy kingdom, pray give me a sign

For I am weak, how long can I fight?

Father, when can I see you again?

And when can I be with you Father,

You gave up your life for me then,

And when, I needed you Father . . .

When can I see you again?

And when can I be with you Father,

You gave up your life for me then,

And when, I needed a friend . . .

Father, your spirit I'm longing to bring

Through tears can I ask of you Father, my Father

To play your song through my strings . . .

Father, when can I see you again?

And when can I be with you Father,

You gave up your life for me then,

And when, I needed you Father . . .

When can I see you again?

And when can I be with you Father,

You gave up your life for me then,

And when, I needed a friend . . .

Will you love me tomorrow?!

Boris Vallejo: Alone

Tonight you're mine completely

You give your love so sweetly

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes

Will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure

Or just a moments pleasure

Can I believe the magic of your sighs

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken

You say that I'm the only one

But will my heart be broken

When the night meets the mornin' sun

I'd like to know that your love

Is love I can be sure of

So tell me now and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow?

So tell me now and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Pieter Bruegel the elder: The fall of the rebel angels

( by Thomas of Celano (1200 – c. 1265) )

Day of vengeance, without morrow!

Earth shall end in flame and sorrow,

As from Saint and Seer we borrow.

Ah! what terror is impending,

When the Judge is seen descending,

And each secret veil is rending!

To the throne, the trumpet sounding,

Through the sepulchres resounding,

Summons all, with voice astounding.

Death and Nature, mazed, are quaking,

When, the grave's long slumber breaking,

Man to judgment is awaking.

On the written Volume's pages,

Life is shown in all its stages--

Judgment-record of past ages.

Sits the Judge, the raised arraigning,

Darkest mysteries explaining,

Nothing unavenged remaining.

What shall I then say, unfriended,

By no advocate attended,

When the just are scarce defended?

King of majesty tremendous,

By thy saving grace defend us,

Fount of pity, safety send us!

Holy Jesus, meek, forbearing,

For my sins the death-crown wearing,

Save me, in that day, despairing!

Worn and weary, thou hast sought me;

By thy cross and passion bought me--

Spare the hope thy labors brought me!

Righteous Judge of retribution,

Give, O give me absolution

Ere the day of dissolution!

As a guilty culprit groaning,

Flushed my face, my errors owning,

Hear. O God, Thy suppliant moaning!

Thou to Mary gav'st remission,

Heard'st the dying thief's petition,

Bad'st me hope in my contrition.

In my prayers no worth discerning,

Yet on me Thy favor turning,

Save me from that endless burning!

Give me, when Thy sheep confiding

Thou art from the goals dividing.

On Thy right a place abiding!

When the wicked are rejected,

And by bitter flames subjected,

Call me forth with Thine elected!

Low in supplication bending.

Heart as though with ashes blending;

Cure for me when all is ending.

When on that dread day of weeping

Guilty man in ashes sleeping

Wakes to his adjudication,

Save him, God! from condemnation!

Truth Hurts

2011-11-20T19:00:00.002+02:00

Francois Joseph Navez: The Fortune Teller

You know my will is broken

You've got my heart on hold

I'm lying here in pieces, so cold

It gets so hard to handle

All the things you need to say

But I guess I heard it all before anyway

Is love such a blessing or a curse

Either way

Truth hurts

Well there'll be no more running

Now I've got you face to face

I want to know who you've been loving in my place

You say I had it coming

Try to hold my head up high

Love gave me wings and left me paralyzed

There's nothing left alive

As we watch the spirits die

The world keeps turning

My heart keeps learning

Do you know where the guilty sleep

Babe I've got my pride

Somehow I will survive

The world keeps turning

My heart keeps learning

Do you know where the lonely sleep tonight

Another fallen angel

How far I just can't tell

Living without love is a living hell

Why is love such a blessing or a curse

Baby either way

Truth hurts

Babe I've got my pride

Somehow I will survive

My heart keeps learning

Don't know which is worse

But one thing that I know

Truth hurts

Robert Braithwaite Martineau: The last day in the old home

And now, the end is near,

And so I face the final curtain.

My friends, I'll say it clear;

I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full -

I've travelled each and every highway.

And more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Regrets? I've had a few,

But then again, too few to mention.

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course -

Each careful step along the byway,

And more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,

When I bit off more than I could chew,

But through it all, when there was doubt,

I ate it up and spit it out.

I faced it all and I stood tall

And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried,

I've had my fill - my share of losing.

But now, as tears subside,

I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that,

And may I say, not in a shy way -

Oh no. Oh no, not me.

I did it my way.

For what is a man? What has he got?

If not himself - Then he has naught.

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels.

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way.

Yes, it was my way.

(Vacation memories: Grave in Portofino cemetery up the hill)

Ascolto ancora il vento

Che in disparte mi accarezza

Dimenticato pianto

Prigioniero della sera

Pianto, dimenticato pianto

Prigioniero della sera

Un respiro sempre acceso

Seguo e cerco lentamente

Nel sospiro del destino

Vivo per te, sogno di te

Canto di te

Nel cielo incastrata

Timida stella morente

Di canzoni dimenticate

Dai tuoi occhi gia' vissute

Ora vivo e mi consolo... vivo...

Il mio tempo, nelle mani

Nel tuo viso il mio tormento

Il silenzio, il mio domani

Ancorato ad un momento

Vivo per te, sogno di te

Canto di te

Nel cielo incastrata

Timida stella morente

Vissuti dolcemente

Sogni di un' eterna notte

Ora bruciano traditi

Dalle nostre memorie

Lacrime, lacrime di rabbia

Nel mio cuore sempre accese

Parlano, parlano le onde

Di un porto ormai svanito

Vivo per te, sogno di te

Canto di te

Nel cielo incastrata

Timida stella morente

(Rhapsody: Il canto del vento)

I'm still listening to the wind

Who's caressing me aside

Forgotten crying

Eveving's prisoner

Crying, forgotten crying

Evening's prisoner

An endless lighted breath

I follow and slowly search for it

In the fate's whisper

I live for you, I dream of you

I sing for you

Embedded in the sky

Shy dying star

Of forgotten songs

Yet lived by your eyes

Now I live and take comfort... I live...

My time in the hands

My torment in your face

The silence, my future

Anchored to one moment

I live for you, I dream of you

I sing for you

Embedded in the sky

Shy dying star

Sweetly lived

Eternal night dreams

Now they' re burning betrayed

By our memories

Tears, tears of rage

Always lighted in my heart

They're talking, waves are talking

About a harbour, faded by now

I live for you, I dream of you

I sing for you

Embedded in the sky

Shy dying star

I live for you, I dream of you

I sing for you

Embedded in the sky

Shy dying star

I live for you, I dream of you

I sing for you

Shy dying star

The owl dances in my hand

His eyes are my only light

I fly on to the neverland

I dream of days of long ago

When I was young and free

Tonight I know that I must go

And meet my destiny

Oh cold fire

Burn my dreams

Take me away

Let the darkness end my days

Cold cold fire

Falling, fading away

No laughter, no more pain

Take me back

Take me home

Take me, set free my soul

And I wanna feel that now with all…

All of those kisses and sweet embraces

Here am I, lost and forgotten

For this cruel, cruel time

When I’m first time in love

Now that is why

Now that is why I sing, Lord of Mercy

And I hope now that you hear me

What are you doing man?

I’m looking at her photos

What should I do with them?

Drop them to the fire

Oh, yes, yes, I’m gonna burn them now

‘Cause I have to forget her now with all…

All of those kisses and sweet embraces

Here am I, lost and forgotten

For this cruel, cruel time

When I’m first time in love

Now that is why

Now that is why I sing, Lord of Mercy

And I hope now that you hear me

...the powerful energies of the furthest secret cosmos

heard the prayer of our mother Gaia, the supreme spirit

who gave us the miracle of life... and her dark son breathed new life...

The power of the dragonflame realized what had seemed to be impossible...

And this is then the epic end

of the legendary tale

of the one who found the light

and the dragonflame inside

of the tragic rain of a thousand flames

of the town's defenders who faced real pain

of symphonies of enchanted lands

of whispers of love and hate

The dawn of victory can breathe in the wind

and this would mean the great rebirth

reborn, the one who's giving his life

...the towns lying on the ground

Be one (Be one!) of us (of us!) and

act as all the prophecies want...

To mountains and valleys, to fire and snow,

to sun, moon and wisdom rise your soul...

it's the call...!

(Hensley/Byron)

Searching every day

Looking every way

Trying to make a connection

To find a piece of the action

Like a hungry poet

Who doesn't know

He is close to perfection

Choice is the question

Moonlight night after moonlight night

Side by side they will see us ride

But if they cared to look, then they would see

It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Can you understand

That in every man

There's a need to unwind

That's never been defined

Somewhere deep within

There's another being

You are somehow abusing

By the person you're using

Moonlight night after moonlight night

Side by side they will see us ride

But if you care to look, then they would see

It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Travelling faster than lightning

Closer than ever before

We can go on for you, and take you nearer to

The legend of mystery from the beginning of time

Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming

We can return to the land of the good and the kind

TIME... Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming

Why don't you come to our party and open your minds

In another place

There's a newer face

Like an unfinished painting

Your creator is waiting

The brush and pen describe

What it is inside

That will set your mind thinking

While the others are sinking

Moonlight night after moonlight night

Side by side they will see us ride

But if they cared to look, then they would see

It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, oh yeah

Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy

If I close my eyes forever

Will it all remain unchanged

If I close my eyes forever

Will it all remain the same...

Sometimes

It's hard to hold on

So hard to hold on to my dreams

It isn't always what is seems

When you're face to face with me

You're like a dagger

And stick me in the heart

And taste the blood from my blade

And when we sleep, would you shelter me

In your warm and darkened grave

If I close my eyes forever

Will it all remain unchanged

If I close my eyes forever

Will it all remain the same...

Will you ever take me

No, I just can't take the pain

But would you ever trust me

No, I'll never feel the same...Ohh...

I know I've been so hard to you

I know I've told you lies

If I could have just one more wish

I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

If I close my eyes forever

Will it all remain unchanged

If I close my eyes forever

Will it all remain the same...

Close your eyes

You gotta close you eyes for me

Tell her today....

Frederick J. Waugh - The Knight of the Holy Grail

When the stars are right and you're alone

Take a journey, lock the world tight

Out of your mind.

The hall beckons your presence, the doors

Open wide you're to decide to turn back.

Deep the bowels of this black abyss.

Compelled I just can't resist it, take me

Take me away take me away

I wanna know what's deep within

Take me away

Drawing near someone passes through me,

A silent entity never looking back I won't dare

Evil eyes staring through he walls of stone

As I feared I travel not alone.

Laughter's echoes with the blatant wind

I have passed the threshold deep within me

A voice of thunder said turn back

Tabernacle is forbidden

No mortal dares to enter here

I want to know

Flame is burning center of a fountain yearning, waters

Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire

Above center is sky, cold neverness

Just vastness filled with stars upon stars

In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors

Reflecting what you are and what you are to be

In the first is a young boy white dove in

His hand, in the second is a warrior in armor

In the third is the old man gold watch

In his hand fourth and last

No reflection at all

Waters rise toward physical fire, voice says

Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back I don't dare

If the water touches the flame

Forever in darkness yes I'll remain.

White dove flies from the young boys hand

Through the mirror of the old man, only way out

Belle, is the only word...

Boris Vallejo & Julie Bell: Tamars vision

Something ugly this way comes

Through my fingers sliding inside

All these blessings all these burns

I'm godless underneath your cover

Search for pleasure search for pain

In this world now I am undying

I unfurl my flag my nation helpless

Black black heart why would you offer more

Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy

I'm on fire I'm rotting to the core

I'm eating all your kings and queens

All your sex and your diamonds

As I begin to lose my grip

On these realities your sending

Taste your mind and taste your sex

I'm naked underneath your cover

Covers lie and we will bend and borrow

With the coming sign

The tide will take the sea will rise and time will rape

Black black heart why would you offer more

Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy

I'm on fire I'm rotting to the core

I'm eating all your kings and queens

All your sex and your diamonds

Black black heart why would you offer more

Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy

I'm on fire I'm rotting to the core

I'm eating all your kings and queens

All your sex and your diamonds

The eyes of the world

2011-10-21T21:00:00.004+03:00

Bob Larkin - Conan the liberator

I see the innocent victims
Fighting to get to his door
No chain of events
Can shackle him down
He's not there anymore
Evil moves, evil ways
with his back to the wall
evil mind looking down
Without seeing at all

You ain't got a lot to say
Judging by the things you do
If only you could see the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world

Dust to dust by the million
Broken dreams in the ground
Aching hearts with the half dreams of hope
When their spirits are down
Evil takes, evil kills
With no shame or concern
Killing me, killing you
Watch the end of the burn

Maybe you don't understand
We don't need you anymore
If only you could see the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world

And in the name of religion
For the hate in our soul
For the blind
and the sick in the heart
War has taken it's toll
Evil moves, evil ways
With his back to the wall
Evil mind, looking down
Without seeing at all

Eyes of the world
Don't wanna, don't wanna cry no more
Eyes of the world
In the eyes
Eyes of the world
You ain't got a lot to say
Eyes of the world
Why's it have to be this way
Eyes of the world
Oh
Eyes of the world
We don't need you anymore
Eyes of the world
If only you could feel the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world

Ritchie: “I said: ‘Graham – your hair’s too short. The people who follow us like long hair.’ Graham replied: ‘I used to have long hair.’ I said: ‘Okay, but you don’t have long hair any more – it’s very short and you look like a cabaret singer. Can you please grow your hair?’

Ritchie continued: “By the time we were in Newcastle we actually had a minder on Graham’s hotel door to make sure he didn’t go out and get his hair cut. It was actually getting down to the back of his collar, and it was just beginning to be acceptable. Otherwise we’d have been crucified because we’d gone out on stage with our new singer who had short hair.

“But do you know what Graham did? He jumped out of the window, ran off and had a haircut! So it came to show time, we went on stage and I’m looking at the back of his head – he’d had like a military-style haircut. I was so close to taking my guitar off and going ‘whack’ across the back of his head. I was so angry! I was being pushed there… I was really being pushed.”

Watch out for the bat!

Boris Vallejo - Vampire Bat

Watch out for the Bat now

or that'll be that now

the price you will pay is dear

don't be ashamed to fear

that is what makes you care

makes you beware.

Don't worry about it

you'll find you're without it

the Bat's going to take your life

he's going to take your wife

the Bat's going to make you plead

make you bleed.

So make no mistake there

you'll end up as steak (rare)

so always be on your guard

for this life is hard

death is a breath away

every day.

Lost reflection

2011-10-18T21:00:00.001+03:00

J.W. Waterhouse: Marianna in the south

Locked in this attic

Been here so many years

Shanna won't set me free

She says I'm evil But then she doesn't know

I'm not pretending, no, not me

Full moon's reflecting

A face in the mirror

Twisted and bleeding

No, you can't be real, no you're All in my mind

Shades of insanity, you're not me

You're not me

Life in the attic

I like my rocking chair

Staring in shadows

Crouched in the corner

Waiting for something

Laughing at nothing

No one there

And on and on I wonder is there more

What is life beyond the attic door The full

moon in my eyes Is all that's real

The mirror's lost reflection is in me

Life in the attic

Cobwebs and dusty dreams

Sharp knives and hollow screams

Wide eyes of terror

Clawing the attic door Can't take it anymore

You better go away!

You're lyin'

Hurry

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Who's there?

No one there

You're not me!
