SAMAIN LYRICS

"Today You're a Lion" (1985 Demo)

1. No Time to Lose
2. Waste Land's Plead (Waste & Black)
3. Into the Daylight
4. Child in the Dawn
5. Separation's Bitter Aftertaste (Shake Down the Load)







1. No Time to Lose

You keep your troubles but I keep my life
I am a child of delights
I have adventures you can't understand
cause your world's just a bored black 'n' white

I'm giving parties, excessive 'n' wild
maybe, it can be the last
I'm boozin', I'm sniffin' and I'm whorin' around
sometimes our life's passing fast

I've got no time to lose

You're telling me words I can't understand,
I hear from your predestined way
the things that I do can change at any time
man, I just live for the day

I've got no time to lose

Today you're a lion, tomorrow a mouse
who can predict what'll arise?
There is a livin' before we die
so stand up and open your eyes!

I am a guy who takes liberties
to be whimsical but free
I take your woman I have no conscience
I am the man you wanna be

I've got no time to lose
I've got no time to lose
I've got no time to lose
I've got no time to lose
I don't take time to lose all my way




2. Waste Land's Plead (Waste & Black)

He was born to rule a Kingdom
of barren earth and deadly heat
creeks and lakes were out of water
and fervent storms destroyed the seed
the cattle was damned for dying
there was a foot-and-mouth-disease
he heard his people crying
and begging for release

On the day of coronation
most of his realm was burnt and dry
but in that night he had a vision
of a goddess speaking wise
"I'm here to give you power
I give you might to till the sand
Stand up! Induce the shower
you was born to save this land"

Waste & black
will have an end yet
Waste & black
she gave him power

So he climbed up on the mountains
as high as only eagles dare
at the top he raised the sceptre
and everywhere they heard him swear:
"I'm here to take my power
I'll free this damned and cursed land!"
still he swore as a violent shower
came down to soak the fervent sand




3. Into the Daylight

I played the fool in Amsterdam
when I was young just half a man
somebody'd told me about that place
of venal love and constant grace
into the daylight...thousand games
you'll get her body...hot like flames
into the daylight...thousand games
you'll get her body...hot like flames

She looked so sweet and as she spoke
I could not resist to have a talk
You'll get my body I heard her say,
for little money any way
into the daylight...thousand games
you'll get her body...hot like flames
into the daylight...thousand games
you'll get her body...hot like flames

I was deceived her love was cold
just hands of ice were what she sold
I felt exploited I felt abused
believe me, man I got confused
into the daylight...thousand games
you'll get her body...hot like flames
into the daylight...thousand games
you'll get her body...hot like flames
into the daylight...thousand games
you'll get her body...hot like flames
into the daylight...thousand games
you'll get her body...hot like flames




4. Child in the Dawn

"The good man's life is full of light. The sinner's road is dark and gloomy" (Proverbs 13, 9)

The daylight breaks and silver dew
reflects a sparkling light;
night shadows swiftly slip away
and reveal an elflike child
Child of Dawn the twilight holds you tight
Child of Dawn you're bound to keep the night

The child moves like a fairy
with hair as white as snow
its skin of bronze shines beautiful
its eyes of fire glow
Child of Dawn the twilight holds you tight
Child of Dawn can't leave the night

Oh Lord, please tell this child to take the head
Oh Lord, this child was born to draw the line
between good and bad

Oh holy child of twilight
you see me on my knees
I ask for power and wisdom
that set my spirit free
Oh Lord I understood the vision
dawning in my brain
You want to hear our decision
or we go down the drain
Child of Dawn the twilight holds you tight
Child of Dawn your bound to keep the night
Child of dawn the twilight holds you
Child of dawn can't leave the night
