Proof is running Oh so sunny Lose your thorny heart You so funny Got no money Leave your stony path Every one can see the elevation of the heart Revelation constellation Destination station Falls apart Raven tongues And parlour fun Better push the button fast With feet of clay You seize the day Gonna drive this wreck so hard Every one can see the elevation of the heart Revelation constellation Destination station Falls apart Precious change And penny planes Your kingdom come tonight Like rats we leap Into the deep The game is on the rise Every one can see the elevation of the heart Revelation constellation Destination Destination Destination station Falls apart Gonna drive this wreck right into the wall Gonna drive this wreck right into the wall Gonna drive this wreck Right into the Right into the Right into the wall

Widdershins 03:51
Light creeps into the circle And I seem to be in purple And time takes one more incursion Inside So round and round and round and round we go Yeah round and round and round and round we go So this vortex is twisted And spacetime has been enlisted The truth is wholely unravelled Today So round and round and round and round we go Yeah round and round and round and round we go The halo it starts to unravel A fool has hold of the handle The past and future are somehow Aligned So round and round and round and round we go Yeah round and round and round and round we go The pattern is done The costume is spun You pressed all the buttons And rode to the sun So round and round and round and round we go Yeah round and round and round and round we go

In a distant shadow land Where all the fevers roam You promenade a foreign plan To bring the faithful home Years come and go The night it hides your destiny Yeah And we’re setting solo free Poison darts and dalliance Expecting company Hidden question decompression Tested by a queen Years come and go The night it hides your destiny Yeah And we’re setting solo free Years come and go The night it hides your destiny Yeah And we’re setting solo free Let the darkness wash away Dream of eternity Fetid tomb and deep decay The lonely man retrieved Cruel though you’ll never see The light, it shows your destiny Yeah And we’re setting solo free Yeah We’re setting Solo free

In the land outside your bed Where the silence comes a creeping Hear the golden King is dead And winter comes a calling Now you're dream is not alone For the Titan stands a knocking Won't you understand That winter comes a calling When the dawn is far away And the setting sun has fallen When the light is gone Then winter comes a calling Time for heroines to rise And there aint no time for stalling For the tide is turned And winter comes a calling When the prophet speaks his mind And the faithful hear his warning I heard That winter comes a calling In a world that's frozen cold When the wolverines are hunting The blood will rise And winter comes a calling When the dawn is far away And the setting sun has fallen Now the light is gone And winter comes a calling

Alta Khan 03:44
When you’re watching from the peak of Alta Khan And the sun is stretching out his big red hand No amount of sleeping gonna make you awake Watching seeds falling outta your God’s hand But you’re driving over parched and stony land Full of stories and testaments unplanned I’m a preaching what others should-a known Howling like a banshee in the night On the road to Mandalay Well I just wanna say Watched the moon rise one dark and sunless night There ain’t no hiding in this desert paradise Fears a flavour that can’t be denied

Part 1, Poison Tongues Used up your yesterdays Won't hide inside It's love but I'd rather stay warm Can't protect the world Pressed against the wall April don't wanna know You seize one never let you break You're one who prays dollar sane Wrecked upon the shore They can hide your poison tongue But not your cupid heart Yeah Oh never not a lay down lie Oh heaven, Have your seas run dry Part 2, Murderous Hearts Just wanna say boy that-a She want you Gotta seize that golden chain Just gotta have it now What you seek what you buy I have everything you wanna do Everything you wanna be I just don't wanna stay gone Ah why you ride Yeah surely that game ain't wrong man Rise in that one You can play a wild with me You can play a wild in the sun Yeah one taste of that apple You can have it on a chain You can have a want a chain And see what I have seen You can see what I can see I can see Honey wild Honey Wild

You sacrificed ascension For a whispering in your ear The poison tongues of passion And the darker things you hear The world can’t see you But every thought is here You’re seeking every murmur You’re solar This caravel of light The light is heavenly The price you paid for sight You paid in chemistry The world can’t see you But every thought is here You’re seeking every murmur You’re solar This mistral doesn’t sleep here It floats in entropy This mistral doesn’t sleep here It floats in entropy
9.
You widen the cracks and strip out the light And god knows for sure what is right It's only a matter of time You stumble on blistering bones And stare down the sacred unknown It's only a matter of time You'll see one day There is a fork in the road The shadows gather, pray Then you will hear your bell toll You shut down the lids of your eyes To keep the dark thoughts well inside It's only a matter of time You'll see one day There is a fork in the road The shadows gather, pray Then you will hear your bell toll You're a veteran of all your past wrongs And a sentence just raging along It's only a matter of time You'll see one day There is a fork in the road The shadows gather, pray Then you will hear your bell toll You'll see one day There is a fork in the road The shadows gather, Hey Then you will hear, Then you will hear Then you will hear Hear your bell toll You'll see one day There is a fork in the road The shadows gather, pray Then you will hear your bell toll

Treasures Precious A life that seems so senseless Battered Flattered Lost all the things that mattered And as she walks back through the door Well Maggie’s heart don’t work no more Processed Obsessed But there’s no rest from darkness Lurching Searching A place with no more hurting And what she writes upon the floor Says Maggie’s heart don’t work no more Stolen Emotion It’s just a drop in the ocean Poisoned Frozen A world with no compassion And there’s a light upon the shore But Maggie’s heart don’t work no more
11.
There’s always change You’re always in motion It might sound strange A frightening notion But I want to surf this raging ocean And fall from the tallest of mountains Pray to me Call to me Come to me Fall for me I’m a storm in a teacup of love for you It’s out of sight And mired in emotion Just like a child You seize the commotion And I want to surf this raging ocean And fall from the tallest of mountains Pray to me Call to me Come to me Fall for me I’m a storm in a teacup of love for you Into the night The deepest devotion The wildest heart The only solution And I want to surf this raging ocean And fall from the tallest of mountains Pray to me Call to me Come to me Fall for me I’m a storm in a teacup of love for you Pray to me Call to me Come to me Fall for me I’m a storm in a teacup of love for you
12.
You go down and try and find The land at the river’s end With heads and stones and blood and bones You trade with the living dead Don’t tell me your running free Don’t you see the lightning tree Is black and burned And dead at the bitter end At the bitter end At the bitter end It’s dead at the bitter end All I see is ripped inside And the sands of the soul are lost on the tide The breath of the dragon is a desperate slide. The wings of the devil are a burning ride Don’t tell me you’re home and free You can see the lightning tree Is black and burned And dead at the bitter end At the bitter end At the bitter end It’s dead at the bitter end At the bitter end It’s dead at the bitter end At the bitter end It’s dead at the bitter end At the bitter end At the bitter end It’s dead at the bitter end

about

Rich Black Melbourne, Australia

Heavily guitar oriented with flavours covering a broad gamut from rock through grunge to blues including a few unexpected sidebars, Rich's writing covers a lot of territory. Rich has described his art as ‘kind of a screenplay about the supernatural, science, history and human frailty’ and close scrutiny of the lyrics might support this hypothesis, or not! ... more
