Amoxiana 03:35
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
2.
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

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

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

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

Colourblind 05:33
Unceasing Unyielding Unbending Unsparing They wanna see They wanna see They wanna see Immutable Invariable Continual Perpetual Colourblind Colourblind Colourblind They cast away Seek our way All are blind Love one day Hold out praise See one day Monochrome All too late Colourblind Colourblind

Blue Relief 02:38
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

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

Plutonia 04:19
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 04:05
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

Inaria 02:12
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 Inaree

about

Inaria is a convoluted and sometimes twisted journey through space and time, psychic and physic, mortal and immortal, hope and despair.

Play it loud.

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
