1. Devils Diner
As the bell strikes 12, I say we say farewell,
I say we say farewell as the bell strikes 12
Tonight's the night my friend, tonight's the night,
the night it all shall end as the bell
strikes 12
As the bell strikes 12, he welcomes us to hell,
he welcomes us to hell as the bell strikes 12
He's the one so bad, and he's the one,
the one so very glad as the bell strikes 12
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 12, he speaks the evil spell,
he speaks the evil spell as the bell strikes 12
Now's the time my dear, now's the time,
the time we all once fear as the bell strikes 12
Oh devil dire, save a chair for me
Oh devil dire, for me and my lily
2. Headstones
Past the forest of the flies of fire
Beyond the waters of shimmering tears
By a fire they stand
And they whisper my name
Now I seek upon the night
Small fragments of moonlight
Up the hill the headstones lie
Up the hill the reapers watching eye
Up the hill the headstones lie
Headstones ...
In the circle of stones dressed in ivy
By the garden of the serene flowers
And the spirits are there
Whispering my name
Now I seek upon the night
Small fragments of moonlight
Up the hill the headstones lie
Up the hill the reapers watching eye
Up the hill the headstones lie
Headstones ...
3. Netherworld
Shadows dance, in the moonlight
A chanting dance, in the dark night
A chanting hum, to summon the wind
To summon her, and the spell she brings
"Come now", the wind calls
"Come into the netherworld
Come now, come within
Into the land of the cold blowing wind"
She comes in the dark, a voice in her glimpse
"I am the silence, and the whispering wind
Come, come to me, come and take my hand
Come, come with me, into shadowland..."
"Come now", the wind calls
"Come into the netherworld
Come now, come within
Into the land of cold blowing wind"
Hand in hand, on the dark and devious path
Through the misty land, where shadows walk
"Come into shadowland, to where the winds blows cold
And become a shadow, of the netherworld..."
Dark and evil, with the face so grim
"I am the silence, and the whispering wind
Come, come to me, come and take my hand
Come, come follow me, into shadowland..."
"Come now", the wind calls
"Come into the netherworld
Come now, come within
Into the land of cold blowing wind"
4. So Fell Autumn Rain
Leaving with twilight though I was chosen
To wander the way in the darkest of nights
Oh in the summer sun how soon i came to stray
A true damnation when I turned away
So fell autumn rain washed away ali my pain
I feel brighter somehow lighter somehow to breath once
again
So fell autumn rain washed my sorrows away
With the sunset behind somehow I find the dreams are
to stay
So fell autumn rain
Blinded by dawning so you would take me
Futher away away from the fall
Oh you told me I must never dream again
A true damnation you left me the pain
So fell autumn rain but all things must pass
So fell autumn rain washed away all my pain
I feel bnghter somehow lighter somehow to breath once
again
So tell autumn rain washed my sorrows away
With the sunset behind somehow I f nd the dreams are
to stay
So fell winter
5. Down The Nile
Riders of the Nile race towards the light
Swiftly moves the golden lion
South's an eon watching, waiting to be whole
Never will the roacher tire
Winds of poisonous whispers brought to break them all
Racing riders of the Nile
Sapless seasons ending, the end of all grey
Graves and huddled in the fire
No one lingers long as fire comes their way
Racing riders of the Nile
Down the Nile, like them down the Nile
North a storm has wakened. Angry as it breathes
Molten lines are to expire
Cosmos holds the reason, cosmos holds the key
Racing riders of the Nile
Down the Nile, like them down the Nile
Riders of the Nile race towards the light
Swiftly moves the golden lion
Down the Nile, like them down the Nile
6. 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 3 moons
We walk the clouds at times and ride on dragon faeries,
a drink with friends under 3 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?
7. 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
8. Demon You/Lily Anne
I met the demon on a summer s day
Her name was Lily Anne was what she side
She was standing there alone waiting for the fall
So I asked her would she wa t with me
For the night to take this day away
But with the night she ran away the demon clad in grey
I summon the demon you
So I learned the ways the demon plays
From this beauty clad is ashen grey
How she left me with the fall left me all alone
Only sorcerers of death remains
Only shadowed ones as some would see
And the night that sings to me of Lily Anne the grey
I summon the demon you Lily Anne
9. To Blossom Blue
I'm bleeding in ways of the tire burned
I'm crying in ways of the nightbird
No more is there one to lay by my s de
I'm straying in nightmares all the time
A little something I know
A little somewhere I go rem nds me of you
To blossom blue is to blossom without you
I'm breaking but I cannot bear to
I'm staring but I cannot see you
For no more are you to lay by my side
I'm weeping no more then this second time
A little something I know
A little somewhere I go
Where the sweet waters flow reminds me of you
A little something I know
A little somewhere I go
Where the sweet waters flow
Where the mistletoes grow reminds me of you
To blossom blue is to blossom without you
10. Leave A Room
Leave a room inside my dear
The hide from all the darkness you must find
When you can cry when no one cares
Where you can leave them all behind
Close your eyes and ride into this night
There is no wrong direction here
Just a smile for every candlelight
So leave a room inside my dear
Leave a room inside, spare a place to hide
Bring a candle so and a smile inside
Leave a room inside, spare a place to hide
Bring a candle so and a smile to go
Form an ocean from your teadrops
Set your sails and sail away
And promise we that you will not stop
Until you find where tears wont stay
Leave a room inside, spare a place to hide
Bring a candle so and a smile inside
Leave a room inside, spare a place to hide
Bring a candle so and a smile to go
11. 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
