Steel wants
Nothing more
Take hold
Face the door
Poured from section old
She will
Take your heart
And wash it cold
She won't
Set you free
Born in a place of
Destiny
Cradle mined
She will
Taste your life
And ride it blind
Give me
Half an hour
Forge one
Blade of power
Locus of sight divine
She will
Tear you up
And waste your mind

Bird On The Wing

Well I've heard everything you see now
And I can hear it locked inside
Well there's that tear, that single golden tear
That she lonely sheds until the sands of time go
Well that's the least that I can show you
The plans that I have stowed inside
Well that storm there we sail alone, we sail alone
The lights don't ever seem to cool, alone we sing
Alone, in our dream wrapped around the seed of all dissent
Alone inside of side of scene inside of sense
Well that's the seasons I can see here
They turn around to save on lies
Why don't you drain and settle all that sediment
All that you love is made of air.
The chance of rain
I glance at every brother's scene
Of every boy that every mother bore
And as the light explodes upon me
It seems that I am here alone

Give Me The Power To See
04:43
|

In the twilight when
The eyes can hardly see
The truth is formed from fragments
Of dust and repartee
Just wanted to see
Just wanted to see
The light shine down on me
In a land of plenty
A fool has come to me
Who has heard the broken
And braved the sullen seas
Said his wings were sold to me
But my eyes can't seem to see
Just wanted to see
Just wanted to see
The light shine down on me
Who can ever believe
Who can ever believe
What that sailor is said to be
Just wanted to see
Just wanted to see
An old man told me of the sea
Just wanted to see
Just wanted to see
The light shine down on me

My Arrows Are True
04:21
|

A book of innocent read
A playful game, a passage dread
A rest of diligence
Inestimated sense
An understanding spread
In my schemes when I was young
I planned to shoot a box of arrows at the sun
A poisoned chalice if ever there was one
When I was done it had begun
Free fall, free fall, free fall
Now in the night I see the lights
That show the fabric of the world behind the veil
I dream of me and other scenes
A test of accidence, extraordinary tales
Free fall, free fall, free fall
A parasite, telepathic element
Plays characters inside a broken temperament
It's burned into your brain, the message is the same
But outside someone sits in judgement
Free fall, free fall, free fall
A child of Pericles born into this sphere
Reads the acid on the wall
See in prophecy, hide in potency
Lift me out of this fall
Free fall, free fall, free fall
I could not know
I could not know
How could I know
How could I know
How could I know
Free fall, free fall, free fall

A Strange Consideration
02:08

All the young say the same that's dominee
Never shown the king but it's cheap
Fallen ladies sold the terroir gol d'vie
Then they're gone with he that never speaks.
Oh it's said they've gone with he that never speaks
All the young it's said they take but effete
All them days that sow their hate, had to see
All that's locked, all that cinquain solidy
Yeah days, all that stays with he that sees.
Oh, they say, they say, they say

Unceasing

They wanna see
They wanna see
They wanna see
Immutable
Invariable
Continual
Perpetual
Colourblind

Colourblind
They cast away
Seek our way
All are blind
Love one day
Hold out praise
See one day
Monochrome
All too late

Wiser souls than me
Have taken to the streets
With every failing state
Of mind
Truth and future tense
Will test your best defence
And lead you to a fate
Enshrined
You held my heart
In no embrace
Over and over...
You held my heart
In no embrace
Passionate array
A state of pure decay
Pray your soul
Entwined
Pray your soul
Entwined

Show Me The Way
05:55
|

The standard was flown thought the battle was won
The band was ragin' in tune
You pressed on my hand and said come on along
And led me into your cocoon
Well I figured at once that the whole world could see
With your lantern a-shining upstairs
And you smiled at me as you laid out the spread
And held out your portion to share
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
Well I heard that grace is right there in everyone
Guess he'll show up some day
What I see now is a halo standin' right there in front of me
I got no right to say
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
Well I stopped the clock there and I raced for the door
When you told me a secret you'd saved
When heaven and earth are reversed in humility
We're gonna see a new day
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
What you see there, there in everyone
We will celebrate one of these days
Speak, yes even when you're alone
Find your voice now be brave
Then you poked me quite suddenly right there in my never mind
That's a metaphor you know
With the seed and the candle the handle is turned
Watch the melody flow
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
There is a secret sittin' right there, right there in everyone
Right there in plain sight today
And an angel just showed me the path to my own one
It just made me to say
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way

The winds of change
Have turned around
You can see the evidence this time
Have me here
Tell me here
Torn between the Devil and
Divine
You can't rely
On promised lies
Drowning in an ocean designed
Have me here
Tell me here
Torn between the Devil and
Divine
Have me here
Tell me here
Torn between the Devil and
Divine
You won't find me
You won't feed me
You won't see me
Right in here
You can't hold me
You can't wound me
You won't tie me
Right in here
Right in here

Time Past

You fake a sense of harmony
But these notes are not the same
There's a space that lies between the two
Where hides the devil's game
This play is of time past
I can see it in your eyes
And I know the devil's name
In spite of this disguise
You can argue round and round and round
'Bout politics and lies
But the biggest thing to contemplate
Is where the devil hides
This play is of time past
I can see it in your eyes
And I know the devil's name
In spite of this disguise
If this sounds just like a circular argument
Take a closer look around
There's a devil hiding deep within the sacrament
Just waiting to be found
This play is of time past
I can see it in your eyes
And I know the devil's name
In spite of this disguise

When the sleep don't come with the setting sun
And the rare moon rises like the kingdom come
World that brays with all this pity
There's a loner sitting with me
One more day amid all these tatters
She was stripped of all that matters
Inaree
Inaree
In a shadowed corner hides a devils daughter
With the magnus over there rides a crawler
In this stamping ground of pretty
One more page turns in the city
One more day amid all these tatters
She was stripped of all that matters
Inaree
Inaree

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
