1. Boogie Bubble
Vague shadows, purple-toned sky, full moon and nightbirds on my mind
Cloud demons with wands of doom, chanting lines of solitude
Boogie bubble refrain, boogie boogie bubble refrain, again
Upon clouds of purple they ride, doing evil
Come demon and chant for me, come bring my eye some mystery
Strange things and stranger one finds, in them cloudlands of my mind
Boogie bubble refrain, boogie boogie bubble refrain, again
Upon clouds of purple they ride, doing evil
Every boogie bubble holds a demon inside,
each and every demon rides upon a purple cloud
2. Cosmic Weed
Running all the time
and knowing time is running out
and knowing all what time's about
Dreaming all those dreams so evil
so evil are the dreams we dream tonight
But the man in the moon sits tight, and he says:
"Come, come and try some cosmic weed
and glance a world so strange indeed"
Fading little ones
not knowing they soon fade away
the tiny mushroom houses of yesterday
Dreaming all those dreams so evil
so evil are the dreams they dream tonight
But the man in the moon he smiles, and he says:
"Come, come and try some cosmic weed
and glance a world so strange indeed"
Knowing there's no evil down where I go
Knowing there's no evil tonight
Knowing there's no evil down where I go to find it all out
"Come, come and try some cosmic weed
and glance a world so strange indeed"
3. When My Sun Comes Down
Close my eyes, think of the rain
think of an evening the same
dream it is autumn outside
an evening to hide
Someone to carry me home
to forests where I do belong
close my eyes, little bit scared
and no one to care
And when my sun comes down
and you won't hold my hand, it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a darker way
it's okay, it's allright
Close my heart, hold on to evil
embracing the only, the Foul
dream it is twilight outside
an evening to hide
Oh raven, say will it be mine
the golden, the line of my time
fading and I am not scared
Five ravens to bear
And when my sun comes down
and you won't hold my hand, it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a darker way
it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a lighter way
it's okay, it's allright
4. Devil's Diner
As the bell strikes twelve
I say we say farewell
I say we say farewell as the bell strikes twelve
Tonight's the night my friend
tonight's the night, the night it all shall end
as the bell strikes twelve
As the bell strikes twelve
he welcomes us to hell
he welcomes us to hell as the bell strikes twelve
He's the one so bad
and he's the one, the one so very glad
as the bell strikes twelve
Oh devil dire, save a chair for me
Oh devil dire, for me and my lily
A table set for three
my lily, him and me
and a chandelier, and a chandelier
All seven candles lit
it scares a little bit
oh little lily dear
As the bell strikes twelve
he speaks the evil spell
he speaks the evil spell as the bell strikes twelve
Now's the time my dear
now's the time, the time we all once fear
as the bell strikes twelve
Oh devil dire, save a chair for me
Oh devil dire, for me and my lil
5. The Four Strings of Mourning
Some tales say morrow knows
I know not why they say so
some go where sorrow goes
I know not where they do go
One comes with winter's wind
to tell a tale of mourning
one free as summer's sin
to tell a tale of mourning
Spinning around in circles every day
spinning around and finding no new way
Spinning around, spinning around they say
I wish them all dead anyway
So sing the poets then
I know not why they sing so
so go they sorrow's friends
I know not where they do go
One comes with autumn's rain
and sings a song of mourning
one sets the spring aflame
and sings a song of mourning
Spnning around in circles every day
spinning around and finding no new way
Spinning around, spinning around they say
I wish they all could go away
6. To Die is to Wake
7. Lady Rosenred
There's a faerie in my head
and I call her Lady Rosenred
why she came there I don't know no I don't know
We wander worlds sometimes
green forests, stars and stories
a secret time under three moons
We walk the clouds at times
and ride on dragon faeries
a drink with friends under three moons
Say will you dream with me tonight
under moonlit skies?
We run the hills sometimes
do battles upon evil
a bard so sings within the shadows
We turn the ghosts away
and jam with angry mages
a silent dream within the shadows
Say will you dream with me tonight
under moonlit skies?
And then we turn around
and find all forests gone
and find all stars and stories gone
And then we turn around
and find all faeries gone
and find all dragon faeries gone
Say will you dream with me tonight?
8. Raistlin and the Rose
Shadows
shadows and fever
no-one hears him cry so he turns to evil
Only now, only now does he know
Pains
always those pains
once he turns that way he will do it again
Only now, only now does he know
silver doom, unseen moon will show
As they dance under the moon
they bring doom
he calls her friend
and says he'll change
she calls him friend
and he deceives again
Flowers
a scent of flowers
always on his mind so he deceives her
Only now, only now does she know
Love
love makes her blind
soon she follows him through the doors of time
Only now, only now does she know
silver doom, unseen moon will show
As they dance under the moon
they bring doom
he calls her friend
and says he'll change
she calls him friend
and he deceives again
9. A Crimson Cosmos
Great cosmos
eternal ocean
spring forth now colder motions
break dawn now
break new day
sweet silent colder changes
Lay still night
in the forest
bring fall now bring the ever rest
cold silence
no emotions
feel changes through the ocean
One went to seek the loss
one went to seek the darker side of us
One went to seek the cross
only to find a crimson cosmos
Great cosmos
crimson ocean
waves riding empty motions
bring twilight
bring new night
now silent demon sleeping
Lay still night
for the angels
no laughter or no angers
cold silence
no emotions
Feel changes through our ocean
One went to seek the loss
one went to seek the darker side of us
One went to seek the cross
only to find a crimson cosmos
