from Innocent Victim 1977

RETURN TO FANTASY

Searching every day
Looking every way
Trying to make a connection
To find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet
Who doesn't know

I'm flyin' high
And I know the reason why
'Cause the wind of change
Has blown my way
And you love me
As much today as I love you
Honey, as I love you

You who thought your eyes could tell no lies,
So your life became a compromise.
And it was you who had seen man dying
And you heard their children crying,
While their women weep in silence.

And you, who thought you were so wise,
Succeeded only in disguise.

HIGH PRIESTESS

You, who brought

You should have seen Tuesday's dream, dancing in my head
For you'd have heard a thousand words that nobody had said
And you'd have watched me try to run where dreams have never strayed
Heard my cries because I knew I really was afraid

Dreams, dreams I'll never keep
My body rests but my eyes refuse to sleep
Sights and sounds my mind created

I left my home on the way to the prayer
One last shot at the great out there
Gave it a chance on a railroad cart
Take my dream to a land so far

Miracles happen in a city of fear
I can say goodbye to my innocence here
Think what I like, gotta see it through

Love, love, love - I'm looking for love
Love, love, love

When I was only sixteen
Well, give it take a year or more
I've got to singing about
The life I've lead
And I threw it right out of the door

03. On The Rebound(Russ Ballard)

I must thank Lord ??
In my hour of need
I've given way to a better man
But I ain't been free
To push the hour here
In this soul of mine
I've burned my bridges
And I'm satisfied

A YEAR OR A DAY

Seen from the height
Of a thousand miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
But we can't find the things we need

(the way of life that must change)

In the court of kings I look around
My blood runs cold, I close my eyes
Out of my head a vision flows
I'll make the rules I need
For my survival, for my survival

You think I'm crazy for wanting you
But you just hide away
Behind your untold truths
And so I sit and
Listen to your lonely words
Another reason for you to be yourself

I can't be wrong for believing you

I had a little look for a minute today
and I told here there was something that I wanted to say.
Just sitting there glowing, with her red light on,
so I gotta move fast and it shouldn't take long.
Maybe she will? Maybe she won't?
You get yourself together cause she doesn't say don't.
I never ever thought I was looking for a wife
but I think I can love her for the rest of my life.

Desperate man, desperate times
Desperate heart, once she was mine
Bad blood, cold sweat
The more I give, the less I get
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone

Bad blood, runs through her veins

Desperate man, desperate times
Desperate heart
Once she was mine
Bad blood, cold sweat
The more I give, the less I get
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone

BEAUTIFUL DREAM

Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you
With a breath of the Spring

I'm coming home
I've been away for too long
I'm leaving it up to you to understand

You may wonder why
When it was me who said the last goodbye
But can I change my mind one more time

Белладонна* (перевод Ирина Емец)

Oh Belladonna never knew the pain
О, Белладонна, никогда не знал, что значит боль.
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it'll drive you insane
Наверно, я безумным стал и осуждён тобой.
The open letter just carelessly placed
Открытое письмо небрежно брошено куда-то.

Written by: Mick Box & David Byron, Ken Hensley & Paul Newton

BIRD OF PREY (original version)

I can see that look that says beware
Try to move in closer if you dare
So I will sit and play my waiting game
And for a while I know

(Bolder)

His blood's on stone
It's running down the frozen wall
His hand's so cold
He's trying not to fall
Oh will he make it now
One slip and he's lost

Heaven's above
What on earth has this come to
What have I done
What can I do now to show you
There's still a chance
If you're ready to make up
It's not too late
'cause I'm not ready to break up

The story of my life
Was written there in front of me
The book revealed
The lines upon my face
After chapter one
The images of better times
Turned into a classic cold embrace

Once there was a man of power
Had no care for human life
Then one day he saw his living lie
Growing all around him
The wheel of change had taken over
Found a love he never knew
Now he teaches children what is true
Gather all around him

Recorded at 'Fallen Angel' sessions, originally b-side of 'Come Back To Me' single. Included as a bonus track on remastered cd version 1997

CHEATER

Cheater, I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies

I was walkin' all alone through a sideshow
With passion and pain on each side
Somethin' inside me was callin'
For a chance to stay alive

At the time I didn't know what was callin'
As my head was buried in grief
Today I heard what was cryin'

Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land
For an enemy
Came across
Love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost

Written by: Gary Thain, Mick Box & Lee Kerslake
Released on: 'Sweet Freedom' September 1973

CIRCUS

Walkin' around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream

Daddy, daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book

(Kerslake/Hensley)

COME BACK TO ME

Alone again, I feel so alone again
With this emptiness I just can't hide
Picture me with a broken heart
See the tears run down my face

CORRIDORS OF MADNESS

I'm looking out over the water
Feeling the cold in my bones
A terrible nightmare growing around me
I never felt so alone
I'm starting to see my reflection
A whisper of light in the sky

See the blind man
At the dead of night
He can see, so he won't fight
Running scared like a swan in flight
On and on, looking for delight

But it's you, he'll hear you running
As this blind man tells the blind

What do you say
To a talk over dinner
Though we haven't
Spoken for a while
This time I won't take no
For an answer
You can't hide forever
From your only son

Я кричу о свободе
Я кричу это всему миру


She told the story
I listened with my eyes closed
So sad but so true
She whispered softly

(Previously Unreleased)

Dance dance dance
You've gotta keep on dancing

Dance dance dance
You've gotta keep on

You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight
And there are many

You can't stop a man from learning
I could write the book of love
Captured moments there
Between me and you
Then I had the thought of leavin'
It was a voice inside my head
Telling me I got to have the strength
To see it through

Been travelling this road for so long
My eyes are tired but I carry on
The sun lays down it’s golden threads
I need a place to rest my head
Although I am far from home now
My soul’s with you

It’s hard to be out here on my own

Grinning demons, smiling sideways, laughing in my face.
Here within my troubled sleep is such a lonely place.
Running fast but never moving, I can't get away.
Strange but realistic objects making me their prey.
Then it's gone as fast as it came - evil dream.
Changing like the sun turns to rain - it would seem.
Dining with the gods of beauty on a distant shore.
Tasting foods of untold sweetness never seen before.

You should have seen Tuesday's dream dancing in my head
For you'd have heard a thousand words that nobody have said
And you'd have watched me try to run where dreams have never strayed
Heard my cries because I knew I really was afraid

Dreams, dreams I'll never keep
My body rests but my eyes refuse to sleep
Sights and sounds my mind created

EASY LIVIN'

This is a thing I have
Never known before
It's called easy livin'

ECHOES IN THE DARK

I have heard the echoes in the dark
Dim and distant voices of the past
And I've seen so far into the night
And lingered in the land of no light

Far beyond the

It doesn't matter what you say
The cards are in your favour
We don't need no magic ride
To take you far away
Just give it a silent thought
And you will find the power

'cause everything in life

Fallen angel

Everyone I see reminds me of you
I keep turnin' round
Expectin' you to be there
I keep seein' our past
Through my looking glass
But fallen angel

Keep on falling in love
Falling, keep on falling
Keep on falling in love

Now I don't mind all this running around
Seems I've been doing it most of my life
My music's been kind but some days I find
It brings me two kinds of trouble and three kinds of strife

My love lives at the end of the rainbow
One day I'm gonna fly there on a firefly
High above the wild endless water
With a love song in my heart

Someday somehow I know I'm gonna get there
I've been patient for so long
All my daydream seems so much nearer now

I know this feeling inside

Has just made up my mind

Im gonna take this chance

And do whats in my heart

Free me
Free me
Why don't you free me
Free me from your spell
Come on and free me
Why don't you free me
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell.

9 o'clock on Monday morning always running late
Prior to commitments she would always miss the gate
Now it was pretty obvious that she was teacher's pet
But just like any teenage boy, we took what we could get

Chorus

To say goodbye to innocence

Take a look inside my sensual parade
Once you're in you'll never go
Scream into submission, no design, or masquerade
The best of times you'll ever know

I want more than reality, insanity
Desperation in disguise

Will you stay out late tonight?
Try to hope
Will you try to dominate?
Will you do that more to hate?
Will you give me all your love
And never deserve it?

Giving me all of that green eye

I know the world is full of light
So why can't things just work out right
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
It used to be so full of love
But now it's only push and shove
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land

Lost, lost, like a precious flame
The ashes burn on
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on
Tries to hold on

No communication
All systems are down

I was born an only boy
Away from palm of water
Never heard of right or wrong
I was given words to use
But I knew I was different
They wanted me to play along

How much fear can I keep

Well, you don't have to tell me why
I've a feeling that I know that guy
I always knew I'd never keep you long

It's funny how times have changes
It used to be me, it felt so strange
I always knew I'd never keep you long

She’s the candle that lights my room
Better look out ‘cos she’s coming here soon
Ooh, you’re in my mind forever
I hear every word you say
Ooh, you come to wherever
And turn my darkness into day

You taught me how to live a life that’s full

I feel the pressure
Pushing down on me
Can't face the world
Can't change the things I see
I got my hands in my pockets
Staring at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

I want to be free

As I wake up everyday
With no new songs to play
Feeling like I ought to
Pack my bag and run
My imagination flies
To some other sunny skies

You came to me
With all of your lies
And I was taken in so well
It took me quite a time
To see the disguise
You made it very hard to tell
Now here you are again
But you're begging in vain

(Hensley)

If I had the time,
To re-live my life
I don't think I'd care,
To change a thing
As long as I find,
Just a little peace of mind

In a forest known as heartbreak
In a clearin' in the wood
'Cross a pathway called confusion
Toward the garden of delight

You'll reach the river of desire
And meekly try and cross it
While the valley of love

Here we are
Once more in a world full of fantasy
Dream again
You need to believe in a future
That's bright as the sun
Shining there for you
Shining there for me
I am the mountain high, I am the sea

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing

Looking out at the open space,
There's A new war beginning,
God my head is spinning
I had to live cause I thought it was too late,
To far arised,
Now I am breathing,
Now I am seeing,
All the love that is flowing,

She came to me one morning,
One lonely Sunday morning,
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.
I know not how she found me,
For in darkness I was walking,
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win.

Before I leave town today
Well, there's something that I wanna say
That you regret the stormy night
You put your eyes on me

Well, you cheated on me and you lied
And I must've had that a thousand times
But IЎЇll be comin' back one day

Well I'm not superstitious
But there's something
Going on inside
Could be friendly, could be vicious
And there isn't any place to hide

It's my imagination
A blessing or a curse

Logical Progression (New Perceptions)
(Box/Lanzon)

You say her love has gone forever
And something has gone from your soul - it's left you so cold
Though you wish you had the answer
The question is always untold - always on hold
What's in the mirror

Lonely Nights
(Adams/Vallance)

Will you risk your reputation
I don't know
You just don't know what you're saying
Anymore
You know beggars can't be choosers

I see you runnin' - don't know what you're runnin' from.
Nobody's comin' - what'd you do that was so wrong?
Look back and turn back - look at yourself.
Don't be afraid just look at yourself.
If you need assistance - or if all you need is love,
there's no point in hiding - tell me what your frieghtened of.
You've got a friend just look at yourself.
Don't be afraid just look at yourself.

(know yourself)

This is our world, our future
These are our times
I believe we have to see
In silence there's no mystery

The world is so busy talking

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
La-la-la-la, it's gotta be love,
La-la-la-la, it's gotta be love or nothing)

You gotta make up your mind,
'Cause you're runnin' out of time.
You know it's your game,
And the winner takes all.

Well the very first time I saw you darling
Not one single word would come to my lips
Yes, the very first time I saw you darling
Not one single word would come to my lips
You see, I was so afraid you wouldn't love me
I want to tell you right now
I was frightned right down to my fingertips

She got me to walk on water
I did what she said
She got me to steal the moonlight
Put it over her head
And after I moved the mountain
Which stood in the way
The answer was in the question
She asked me if I wanted to stay

She dances on the seven seas
Dances on the ocean
Sunlight on her golden hair
Shapes of pure emotion
Her voice is heard like crystal words across the sky
She moves just like an angel
She's the mistress of all time

MISTY EYES

I was missing my
Little Miss Misty Eyes
She made my life complete

I held the rope so tightly
As she climbed
Down from her room
We said we'd make our getaway
Underneath the moon
I always will remember
The night that we left home
And the words of warning

I'm at the point of no return
I'm watching the candle burn - both ends
There's a lesson we both can learn - this time
So if you wanna make my day
There's something you've gotta say
Now please don't laugh and turn away - this time
I don't wanna make a fuss
But this is the time for us

ON THE REBOUND
Written by: Russ Ballard

On the rebound, on the rebound
That's how you fell for me
That's how you changed my life
You cut me like a knife

There's been some
Changes in my time
But this one's playing
Games with my mind
Stopped in my tracks
No thought of looking back
The lady's got me tied up
But I've already made my mind up

We're only human...

Keep on fighting
Don't let troubles get in your way
You can change and turn your thinking
To energy so beautiful

We're only human, looking for direction

I haven't listened to a word you've said
I've been wandering inside my head
Don't care what you think of me
You only see what you want to see
So here I am in my paradise
In my heaven everything is alright

Only the young stay young I said

Tryin to make it back

To my old home town

Ive been driving since

The break of dawn

I feel you trying
Though in my heart
I know you’re lying
And though your love
For me is dying
I see you crying

It’s the pain of your secret heart

I feel you trying
Though in my heart I know you're lying
And though your love for me is dying
I see you crying

It's the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears

A pilgrim at the grey of dawn
Leaving in the mist of morning
On his journey of goodness
Heaven sent, God blessed

Pilgrim laughing at the world
Spreading joy
At the touch of his hand

Cold winds and cloudy skies
turn to sweetness in her eyes.
Fantasies I realized
came to life to my surprise.
Rain came and took her away
just when I thought she was here to stay.
Sun gone, I was left high and dry
when love came by and touched me and kissed me so long.

Time has come to say goodbye
To the broken memories
They're locked inside like prisoners
In a place that no-one sees

Stayed up late with a friend of mine
Southern Comfort till dawn
We talked about the things of love

Stand up and fight
Or you'll lose your right
Do you wanna stand in a line
Fightin' hard to hold on to your mind

Seek and you'll find
Proud words on a dusty shelf
Find and you'll seek

Lady oh lady, you're driving me crazy
You brought out the devil in me
You turned on my fire with words of desire
You sure put the lovin'
Sure put the lovin' on me

You're sending me reeling with love that you're giving
Spinning my poor heart around

There's a lie that runs
Across the human race
There's a truth that draws
A tear upon your face
A child is crying and it echoes
All over the world

If we try to find some

RAIN

It's raining outside
But that's not unusual
But the way that I'm feeling

Hensley)

There rides the Rainbow Demon
On his horse of crimson fire
Black shadows are following closely
On the heels of his desire

Riding on in the mist of morning

Turn it up, it's on the radio

Light me up, just like a Christmas tree, Or am I seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up, charge me up, never stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on and give me rock and roll
Strap me in to the rocket ship I'm headin' for the sun

The gates have opened
Now I'm a free man
My time is over
I need a new plan
But I've had no loving
For a year and a day
My lady's waiting
Got a taste for her wine

Somewhere in your eyes
That very special glow
Something drawing me
To where I do not know
I never really thought
That I would lose myself
Now I'm going faster
Than anybody else

Was wollen wir trinken sieben Tage lang?
Was wollen wir trinken - so ein Durst.
Es wird genug fuer alle sein!
Wir trinken zusammen, roll das Fas mal ein.
Wir trinken zusammen, nicht allein!

Dann wollen wir schaffen sieben Tage lang.
Dann wollen wir schaffen, komm fast an.

Don't try to be anything else but what you are
Don't try to do anything else but the things you do

And the seasons are changin' makin' it all come true
‘Cause with the spring and clearing skies

SHELTER FROM THE RAIN

When our hearts were young
We put our hands into the flames
Felt the heat from our emotions

There's never a day when I've got nothing to do
'Cause something to me might mean nothing to you
So don't, don't, don't, don't look at me strangely now
We'll find the line that's in the middle and run

Something
We've got to run
Something or nothing

It's the same old line
People get to you if they can
They take what they find
They will change you mind
They will fit you into their play

And then one day you'll wake up
As somebody else

Everybody got somebody
Trying to make you feel real bad
Ain't' none of their business
Talking behind your back
Be strong in yourself
Stand up, walk away
Nobody gives a damn for a
Single thing you say

Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride aha

Oo..ooo Ooooo Ah ah ah
Oo..ooo Ooooo Ah ah ah

Well there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food and no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time

Ride along lady woman of the night
Looking for a place to go
Dancing on storm clouds, hiding from the light
Looking for an easy Joe
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground

Walking every side street kicking up the leaves

SUICIDAL MAN

Waiting by the window
Staring at my shadow
Not believing what I’d seen
Touching but not feeling
And wondering what I was dealing
And not knowing where I'd been

Sunrise, and the new day's breaking through.
The morning of another day without you.
And as the hours roll by
noone's there to see me cry
except the sunrise,
the sunrise and you.
Tired eyes drift across the shore.
Looking for love and nothing more.

SWEET LORRAINE

Would you like to take
This magic potion with me
On a trip to a cosmic

I didn't see you standing there
You took me by surprise
In your long silk dress
And those deep brown eyes
I was captured by your smile
But when fate put out it's hand
You're walking to your love
How was I to resist

I've no time for boring things

There's no religion

That can make my heart sing, no

They call me up

Sympathy just doesn't mean that much to me
Compassions not the fashion in my mind
And if you're looking for a shoulder to cry on don't turn your head my way
cause I'd rather have My music any day

You and I are masters of our destiny
We look for consolation all the time
Until we find out things are not what they were meant to be, oh no

Chorus

Take away my soul, see the look upon my face,
That's forever
Losing all control, trying not to fall from grace
That's forever

We make the same mistakes

I've been thinking about
What you said last night
And for all your fine words
You still don't have it right

'Cause that's the way that it is
And you won't ever change
You can scream at me

THE DANCE

See the picture in the hall
Framed in magic on the wall
Ain't it funny how it glows

See the picture in the hall
Framed in magic on the wall
Ain't it funny how it glows
What's on the inside no one knows
What makes this picture so inviting
To those who stand outside it
Maybe it's the dancers
Or maybe it's the dance

Locked behind the door
Taken by force
But I'm not guilty of the crime
How can this be real
What is aganst the law
To say what's on your mind
Then I see your face
So warm as it comforts me

Crush into the arms of Satan
Reaching for the hands of God
I'm robbing ev'ry mind of wisdom
Running so he won't get caught
He's out the law by majority
In branded all his live
And some say that he's a sinner man
As he rides from day to night

Passing through the arms of satan
Reaching for the hands of god
Robbing every mind for wisdom
Running so he won’t get caught
He’s outlawed by majority
Been branded all his life
Some say that he’s a sinner man
As he rides from day to night

In the magic garden
Some were singing, some were dancing
While the midnight moon shone brightly overhead.

The stars so gaily glistened
And the sphinx in silence listened to
The magician tell of lives that he had led.

I challenge you
I challenge you all
For all you own
And all you know
And I own the powers of darkness
I will steal what is mine

Surrender now or face my spite

THE PARK

Let me walk a while alone

Oh they're moving'in again
Hidden by the the shadows and the wind
But we'll just wait awhile and then
We'll show'em all that this time we ain't givin'in

Without a care they sweep aside our dreams
To try and make way for their own
No more should we surrender to their schemes

What do you think I am
Do you think I’m dreaming
Don’t you know I know
What it is you’re scheming

Who d’you think gave you the right
Hidden by the dead of night
To take the world and

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kind of feeling fine

He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
and a chance to meet him one night wondering.
He told me tales and he drank my wine.
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine.
He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire.
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
to free the world of its fear and pain
and help the people to feel free again.

I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch
I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a call from you
To take this pain away

We told our tales as we sat under morning's sleepy sky
With all the colours of the sunrise shining in our eyes
One, then another
With a story of yesterday's life
Or of a lover who had
Gone in a moment of strife.

No thought of sleep ever dwells

Won't you take
A chance my brother
Follow me to a time of revelation
Can't you see that
Destiny will take a turn
And show you
There's no need to fight
'Cause you know it's right

Let me see the sunshine
Let me feel the rain
Let me go where I wanna go
I wanna smell the flowers
See the dawn again
Find those friends I used to know

Well, I spent twenty long years

(Box Daisley Goalby Kerslake Sinclair)

Too scared I could not run
I could not make a sound
Lights were flashing

Every day I have to look to the sun
To see where it was that I have come from
I have a feelin that there must be a time
When I'll get a chance to go home
'Cause I'm so tired of being here alone
But I'm just a traveller in time
Trying so hard to pay for my crime

(natures retaliation)

All the fields are
Smoke and flame, fire in the sky
It's a state of emergency
Much more than meets the eye
Just hide away your tears
There are many more hidden fears

It's a familiar voice
Sometimes I wonder
If I have a choice
You give it everything
You're selling God
But am I listening?

I hear you've seen the light

I'm walking in your shadow
Ever since you went away - Yeah
And the clock on the wall
Really hasn't very much to say
Oh you left me bleeding
And left me needing you

In so very many ways

Open your eyes, you're still here, still safe
at peace in this world
so great, you're free, you don't have
to fight for your life
but just say, just say
there's fire from the sky
and you're burning alive

WEEP IN SILENCE

You who thought
Your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise

I rode to my homeland
And carried the memory
Over the valley below
And the heart of a nation
The war cry was blazing
And the loss of my brothers and sons
Were all in the name of civilization

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE

So you think
You found a way of living
That prevents

(Bolder)

People on the sidewalk
Making small talk
Keeping up with life
Ask no questions
Make no decisions
Just do what's right

Don't take life for granted
'cause you know that
Life won't grant you back
The feelings on the love
That you once had

You've taken me for granted
'cause you know

WHY (11.18 min version)

Thought of no tomorrow
The pain, tears and sorrow
And you never told me why

WHY DID YOU GO

I woke up today
With my head in daze
‘Cause my love had gone
With nothing to do
Just to dream about you
And how we went wrong

WONDERWORLD

We freely speak of dreams
We marvel at what they conceal
But in my wonderworld
Each sleeping vision is so real
So I believe and hope
That all the things I see

(love awareness)

Dancing with danger and
Tears in my eyes
Love ain't no stranger
So many goodbyes
Words in the distance
Are calling me

There rides the rainbow demon
on his horse of crimson fire.
Black shadows are following closely
on the heels of his desire.
Riding on in the mist of morning
noone dared to stand in his way.
Posessed by some distant calling.
Riding on through night and day.
