Lyrics
i) (Curtain Rises) A Canyon at Dawn
ii) A Lonely Man
I have many names,
Travel rough terrain
Never welcomed where I shelter
For a tiny sum,
I’ll make sure the job gets done
I never falter once I’ve started
There’s a folly in the ways
in which I am known
I’ll never see a family of my own, full grown
Found a place in the scheme and made it fit for me
Solving others problems and then calling in the fee
But there’s no World out
there that is waiting for me
The gunman in the shadows makes a life of misery
So you take care that you respect this lonely man
I’ll take what little pleasure from you anyway I can
But there’s a World in here
that no one else can see
I buried it so deeply down that it can never get free,
But I take care that I respect the other gun
My life is short and will be over well before its’ begun
iii) Would you mind having this war somewhere else please?
iv) Call Me Evil
No saviour will be waiting,
no grand horizon, lover or plough,
I’ve fallen from grace, enabled, black heart, relentless and proud,
A killer of all dreams am I.
I’m the hand of avenging
angels, I bring down the guilty as allowed
I see my place of majestic orders, the halls of greatness and the writing on the
wallI have no need of absolution, revolution, conversation ends…my friend
So call me evil, call me death, call me cursed or just you hold your breath
Save your breath…for I am free, yes I’m free
v) Smoke hangs over a battlefield.
vi) Almeria
vii) Figures In A Landscape
Figures in a Landscape
playing the eye of the storm
While deadly wars surround me, as the land is terra-formed
As my country is unfolding, I will take the plunder, chase the prize,
And the weapons that I'm holding will be my army, but disguised
I am the microcosm, still
play the game on either side,
As the future is unravelled to the shape that I decide.
As we build ourselves an empire, creatures scrabble to lick the bowl
As the world writes down its great events, it misses out my tiny role
I am the lost third party -
a gunman on a grassy knoll,
I bring down cities, meet John Lennon,
I'm an Ace, (in one dark hole)
And I'll be here when you're
all gone,
I'll hide in mountains, 'burbs and seas,
I'll be waiting for my time,
For all your contempt, you NEED me
viii) In The Circle
Caught within the circle and
the sand vipers trail,
Only tombstone witnesses will gather those that fail
A last look, one cold breath…a taster of death!
Moving to the rhythm of a silent beating drum,
Coming from within me, the moment has come
A last thought, one lesson taught…will I die today?
And all is beautiful beneath
the rising sun,
Finding clarity a battle has been won
And from my soul an aching cry of freedom fills my ears
Calling me to somewhere else through sweetly blinding tears of joy
And all is quiet at the
edges of the night
A rush of heady music and a growing blinding light
And from the noise, a voice is heard that leads me far away
No more life’s confusion as my memories decay. I’m free
ix) It's been a very busy day
x) (Curtain Closes) A Canyon at Dusk
