Back to Back

Boris Vallejo: I 've Got Your Back

Ride
They came at dawn
into the morning light
black shadows ridin' on the mist
prepared for battle
swords were shinin' bright
filled with anger and harm
came to kill not to charm

The sound of metal
screamin' in the air
the time has come where justice rules
the endless victims
looking up in fear
now who were the fools

[Chorus:]
Oh here they come
riders of the sun
and they will fight
back to back - back to back

They're fighting hard
their way of victory
dead bodies lying on the ground
they are the soldiers of eternity
and their swords spinnin' around

[Chorus]

They're fightin' with power, ready to ride let go

They got it all
they'll never fall
but they will fight
The night is fallin'
light will disappear
a magic silence fills the place
could read the warning
shinin' crystal clear
now they were lost for the chase

[Chorus]
No - no - no - no

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


(Y.J. Malmsteen: Dreaming)

Red roses in a forgotten diary...

Eleanor Fortescue - Brickdale: Romance



Lonely at the top


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
