Blue Oyster Cult Tribute EP

 Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll

My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
Let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll

Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights
Reins of steel, and it's alright
Cities on flame, with rock and roll
Marshal will buoy, but Fender control
Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll

My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll

Astronomy

The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face his reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds like silver scrapes in May
Now the sands become a crust and most of you have gone away

Come Susy dear, let's take a walk just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married and you want to know where the winds come from
Well it's never said at all on the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know at the four winds bar

Four winds at the four winds bar two doors locked and windows barred
One door let to take you in the other one just mirrors it
In hellish glare and inference the other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light or the light that never warms

The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear would find themselves at the four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly encounter time and then came me
Call me Desdinova, eternal light these gravely digs of mine will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent Astronomy a star

Burning For You

Home in the valley home in the city home isn't pretty ain't no home for me
Home in the darkness home on the highway home isn't my way home I'll never be
Burn out the day burn out the night 
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due 
And I'm burning for you I'm burning for you

Time is the essence time is the season time ain't no reason got no time to slow
Time everlasting time to play besides time ain't on my side time I'll never know
Burn out the day burn out the night 
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong or what's right
I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
But I'm burning for you I'm burning for you

(Don't Fear) The Reaper

All our times have come here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper nor do the wind, the sun or the rain we can be like they are
Come on don't fear the reaper take my hand don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly don't fear the reaper I'm your man

Valentine is done here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday we can be like they are
Come on don't fear the reaper take my hand don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly don't fear the reaper I'm your man

Love of two is one here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness and it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared saying don't be afraid
Come on and she had no fear and she ran to him then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye she had become like they are
She had taken his hand she had become like they are
Come on don't fear the reaper

Heavy Metal: The Black And The Silver

Into the whirlpool where matter vanishes degenerate star Arm of Orion
An iron sun the forbidden circle anti-matter is the Black horizon
Heavy metal black and silver fallen matter of the sun
Pours itself into a place where there was never one

By starlight the heaviest will rise up magnetic mirrors scattered bodies slow
All chaos of matter river of fire a night sea crossing the cosmic fluid flows
Heavy metal black and silver fallen matter of the sun
Pours itself into a place where there was never one

Fallen matter from the cross freedom that was never lost
Beyond being will becoming beyond time, space and control
Direction Starlight Creation Starbright Foundation we forged the Einstein bridge tonight
Spans a river Starlight we call time starbright world light of darkness without end light of light
Heavy metal black and silver fallen matter of the sun
Pours itself into a place where there was never one

One Step Ahead Of The Devil

You hear the hounds wailing as if the mountains groan
You hear the lonesome echo, the telltale clack of stones
You thought you'd get away, but you're never quite alone
You hear the hiss of rattler, maracas on his tail
You hear the lion replying to the stalker on your trail
One step ahead of the devil one step one step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil and you can only run as far as you can

You hear the darkness weeping for those who fall tonight
That night you lay beside her, for once you almost slept
Until her slim blade glimmered near got you before you leapt
Wish you could leave her livin but that's like guns and rust
You don't want it on your gun, it's just like you and trust
One step ahead of the devil one step one step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil and you can only run as far as you can

Somewhere, there's a refuge somewhere, a place to rest
Somewhere, there's a lover someday you'll pass the test
You hear the hounds wailing as if the mountains groan
You hear the lonesome echo, the telltale clack of stones
You thought you'd get away, but you're never quite alone
You hear the hiss of rattler, maracas on his tail
You hear the lion replying to the stalker on your trail
One step ahead of the devil one step one step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil and you can only run as far as you can
