"Sardonicus"

"Sardonicus"



A human statue made of living stone
A paradox etched in human bone
If you could look behind his thin disguise
There's a hidden glint of madness in his eyes.

Many men are fooled by his smile
His superficial grace his charm his style
Sardonicus is everybody's friend
Sardonicus keeps smiling to the end.

"Seasons"

"Seasons"


[Chorus:]
Like the seasons you change your mind
It seems like loving you is a crime.

I remember those days
Oh, so long ago
Like the first time I took you
To a picture show
Or the first time I kissed you
Beneath the moonlit sky
I put my hand on my heart
I thought I'd die

[Chorus]

Yes, you were for me
It was plain to see
I knew in my heart

You were the one for me
Though people used to try
To get us down
As time goes on
We're still around

[Chorus]

We had our share
Of ups and downs
We had our share
Of nights on the town
The days were short
But the nights were long
My love for you
It grew so strong

[Chorus]

But as we grew old
Your love turned cold
Gone are the days
Of glitter and gold
I work so hard
To keep you mine
Now all I have is
Nothing but time

[Chorus]

"She Caught The Train"
(originally by Joe Monsano)



Another night of loneliness.
My love is gone
She made a fuss and she was wrong,
yet she is gone

I asked her friends if they'd seen her
They said she'd take the train
I ran to catch the train,
Oh my, the train is gone

Another night of loneliness.
My love is gone
She made a fuss and she was wrong,
yet she is gone

I ran to catch the train,
Oh my, the train is gone

"Silent Witness"

"Silent Witness"



The neon haze of city lights
The tribal sound of marching feet
Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights
The tired and homeless roam the streets
The sirens wail the engines roar
A shadowed man just glances around
A victim of life's mindless toil
Lies cold and helpless on the ground

The window dummies silent stare
Bear witness on the nights
If they could move
What it would proved
To see them all take flight

The neon haze of city lights
The tribal sound of marching feet
Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights
The tired and homeless roam the streets
The walls shout loud with angry words
The people air their views
The poor can scream but no-one hears
The concrete jungle sings the blues

"Since I Met You Lady"
(feat. Lady Saw)



[Intro: Lady Saw Rap]

Since I met you lady
My whole life has changed
Since I met you lady
My whole life has changed
And everybody tells me
That I am not the same

I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
Since I met you baby
All I need is you

[Lady Saw Rap]

Since I met you lady
I'm a happy man
Since I met you lady
I'm a happy man
I'm going to try and please you
In everyway I can

"Sing Our Own Song"

"Sing Our Own Song"



The great flood of tears that we've cried
For our brothers and sisters who've died
Over four hundred years
Has washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride
Now we turn back the tide

We will no longer hear your command
We will sieze the control from your hand
We will fan the flame
Of our anger and pain
And you'll feel the shame
For what you do in gods name

We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song

When the ancient drum rhythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sings
Forward Africa run
Our day of freedom has come
For me and for you
Amandla Awethu

We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song

"Sins Of The Fathers"

"Sins Of The Fathers"


Once upon a time, not so long ago
When things were much much simple,
And time would travel slow.
There came a righteous stranger,
With a bible in his hand.
To educate the sinners
And liberate the land.

[Chorus:]
Sins of the fathers
Today from old
In a never ending circle
Of people bought and sold
So the wretched of the earth
Would huddle from the cold
As a ship of fools go sailing
On an ocean black as gold

So come and sit beside me
And let my tale unfold
In a land on milk and honey
Where the truth must not be told
As men of right and reason
Let the devil take their soul
For greed and fame and fortune
And a river black as gold

[Chorus]

And all the non believers
Where hiding from the light
As a thousand burning crosses
Were scattered in the night.
The theives and the vagabonds
Were sinking in the sand
As a righteous lord and master
Stretches out a helping hand.

[Chorus]

And those who had to suffer
The sick the young the old
Where sacrifice to fortune
And left out in the cold
So with this new arrangement
The leaders sold their souls
For bangles, beads and baubles
And a river black as gold

[Chorus 2x]

"Slow Down"

"Slow Down"



You might believe, and still you feel the chase has just begun.
That you must reach that horizon before the setting of the sun.
You chase the light in front of you, nightfall close behind.
If you stop to catch your breath, you know what you will find.

Don't slow down don't touch the ground.
You know what you will find.
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind.

No time to stop, don't go to sleep, prepare to pay the cost.
The hours and minutes are passing by, another day is lost.
Impatience is a virtue, catch me if you can.
The seconds have been ticking by since your life began.
