Lyrics

  • Chamber of Horrors

    There is a place in the London fog

    Where people are dystopian

    During the darkest nights

    Dressed in her gown of white

    Chained to the walls of Madame Tussauds

    To visit you our love forebodes

    I'll sneak in this dark abode

    Inside the gallery I pass the hours

    The wax museum's chamber of horrors

    Where we fell in love

    I took her off the pedestal

    To shower her with kisses

    Under the misty glow

    From gas lamps that light this show

    I've come to be with my love tonight

    I'll hold her in my arms so tight

    And dance with the mannequin

    A fantasy romance from visiting

    The wax museum's chamber of horrors

    Where we fell in love

    Chained to the walls of Madame Tussauds

    I'll visit you our love forebodes

    Dance with the mannequin

    The galleries have all closed within

    The wax museum's chamber of horrors

    Where we fell in love

    We fell in love

    Fell in love

  • Crowned With Roses

    An open grave

    Awaits my love

    You've left me

    All alone

    And I’ll mourn you

    With roses

    Goodbye my darling

    I enjoyed our time being together

    I will miss you

    See you my love

    In heaven

    When all the years

    Have passed me by

    I’ll remember

    The tears I cried

    And I’ll never forget you

    The leaves in the churchyard rustle by

    You know how much I’ll miss you

    When I visit

    Your tombstone crowned with roses

  • Graviton

    Constellations of zodiac

    Hypothetical graviton

    Preposterous string theory

    Grand un-unified flurry

    Gravity is the strong and weak nuclear forces in a planetary mass. It cannot be quantized with quantum mechanics. Newton stated: There’s a power of gravity tending to all bodies proportional to the quantities of matter which they contain. Physicist's futile imaginary hopes postulate about a graviton particle that generates this gravitational force.

    When the stars appear

    Some strobing and glowing

    All through the night

    Vast expanse of space

    No quantum of gravity

    Grand Unified Theories fail to dig up a graviton out of the standard model. Einstein could not unify the theories because he was not an original thinker. He appropriated and plagiarized his theories from Poincare, Lorentz, Newton, and others. But science reveres its figureheads, even when history is cheated.

    When man pierced the sky

    With rockets they study

    Astronomy

    God's celestial feat

    Stands mighty

    Eternal Forever

    Graviton is alchemy

    General Theory of Relativity

    Higgs Boson God particle

    Quantum theory reality

  • I'm Not Your Harlequin

    I’m not your Harlequin

    Although I wear this mask

    It is with shame to be a mannequin

    This burlesque comic charade

    My heart bleeds to wash with blood

    Away the stain

    Of your deception

    I’m not your Harlequin

    I took you off the streets

    Like an orphan

    I was such a fool

    You toured with me on the stage

    And when the final curtains closed

    I'd get sick with the fever and folly of love

    The hope I had for love

    But was blinded with delirium

    If not for love

    Then pitiful mercy

    And all the sacrifices made

    Within my broken heart

    I believed more in you

    Trusting more than in God himself

    What evil lies in your soul

    So dark and neglected

    So heartless out of your mind

    And out of all good sense

    Go away leave me today

    And take away your shame

    Or in contempt I’ll crush you

    Down beneath my feet

    Aria: “No, Pagliaccio non son” by Rugerro Leoncavallo

  • Kiss of a Mermaid

    Deep in the ocean

    Swimming where she

    Was in motion

    One thousand leagues

    Under the sea

    She saw me

    And followed

    Cresting in the water

    Drowned am I

    Floating by

    I died

    Kiss of a mermaid

    To give me life

    Care and first aid

    She rescued me

    Beneath the deep

    She saw me

    And followed

    Cresting in the water

    Drowned am I

    Floating by

    I died

    Capsized was my vessel

    And dashed upon the rocks

    Sinking through the fathoms

    Lost and settling on a crag

    Then she came to me

    Quickly pulled me up to breath

    But it was too late

    Cannot deny my fate

  • Oedipus

    Blood soaks my eyes

    As I gouge them not to see you

    Put on my death mask

    For the drama

    Oedipus Rex

    Play the monarch

    That enticed me

    With some stagecraft

    I mistook the Queen and

    What length I've fallen

    Just to be with you

    The theater in Acropolis

    A drama stage for two

    Love my accomplice

    The play is over

    Yet I'm plagued now with this feeling

    The passion of love

    And betrayal

    Runs hand in hand

    When our love

    Makes sacrifices

    And I know

    That there is more to life than

    Taboos and forbidden love

    Between us

    The play is not quite over yet

    My eyes are still bleeding

    On with the tragedy

  • Rapunzel

    Through the forest

    As I rode

    One day

    All of a sudden I stopped to listen

    Heard a sweet voice singing

    Came from Over yonder

    I went to see

    There was an enchantress

    Imprisoning her

    Rapunzel

    I love you

    In a lone tower

    Lives the maiden

    So fair

    Like a Grimm’s fairy tale

    Near the garden bower

    Climbed her golden hair

    Her tresses like flax

    Borne with flowers

    And clad in white silk

    Rapunzel

    I love you

  • Species

    Don‘t treat me

    Like another species

    Don’t mate like birds

    Nor spawn like fishys

    So vain you flaunt

    In every action

    You want to cause

    A chemical reaction

    In this jungle amongst creatures and bugs

    The boy runs like a child

    While the girl in the hut

    Plays so vicious and wild

    My DNA

    Scattered in pieces

    And portioned out

    In a thousand kisses

    A strand of hair

    And genetic footprint

    She’s so fair

    It leaves an imprint

    There in the petri dish of life

    Grows the source of my love

    Like cells multiplying in a harsh environment

    My heart is infected

    Like a crazy scientific experiment

  • The Candle

    Wrapped in a shroud my love

    Today they lay you to rest

    And I wonder

    Why no longer

    This last time

    Hold me to your breast

    Now you must sleep my love

    And dream of eternity

    When the candle

    On my mantel

    Snuffs the flame

    The life out of thee

    When the pallbearers they lift your coffin

    Covered with flowers

    Funeral procession

    Then God's Angels will take possession of you

    Upward to follow them

    Now that you’re gone my love

    Where will you be going to

    In heaven

    A safe haven

    Where my God

    He has taken you

    The undertaker will place you in a

    Coach pulled by horses

    Funeral procession

    Marching slowly onto the cemetery

    Where you will rest in peace

  • Under the Stars

    The countryside covered in snow

    The ringing bells in the steeple

    Ring in the moonlit glow

    All the ponds have turned to ice

    It’s a skating paradise

    But we’ll ride a sleigh tonight

    A lonely road we’ll dash away

    Hitch the horse to the harness

    We’ll ride under the stars

    Nestled with my love

    An angel from above

    So warm wrapped in my arms

    My tender cooing dove

    You’re my endearing love

    ---Chorus---

    Take my love under the stars

    Let's go out in a sleigh ride

    Nestling with my love

    An angel from above

    So warm wrapped in my arms

    My tender cooing dove

    You’re my endearing love

    Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! She’s my love

    Riding the sleigh tonight

    With a chorus of angels

    And the jingling of bells

    With the neighing of horses

    We’ll ride under the stars

    Ride under the stars

    We’ll ride under the stars

    Robert Schumann Der Nussbaum Op 25 No 3

  • Voyage to Mars

    On my voyage to Mars

    Past the stars

    For you

    In cosmic bazaars

    And quasars

    I’ll find you there

    All systems check on launch pad Pressurized module,

    propulsion, guidance, and telemetry Gyros, Ignition, takeoff.

    Thrust and throttle reaching escape velocity at supersonic speed

    Coordinates of transponder comm data into the radio spectrum.

    Receiving signals from my reconnaissance sensor probes.

    On my voyage to Mars

    Past the stars

    For you!

    Into cosmic bazaars

    And quasars

    I’ll find you there!

    Traversing the universe in my space capsule

    Into the gravitational vortex waves of the red planet;

    The Doppler shift and parallax;

    My vector trajectory to establish orbit,

    Then down in angle of descent,

    Igniting afterburners for touchdown on the LZ

    To make contact with you in the northern quadrant.

  • Cortez

    He sailed to a faraway land

    That was unknown to any man

    Upon arriving on the seashore

    He beached his galleons on sand

    He was tempted with tales of gold

    More than ships store could hold

    Over the treetops great temples shown

    Where the natives sacrificed and ate their own

    He gird himself for war

    With bucklers, lance, and the sword

    And when his cannons fired and roared

    His horse ran down the fleeing horde

    Onward through forest and over mountains

    Through water torrents

    Crossing the rivers gushing like fountains

    Facing the natives massed by the thousands

    The battles continued on and on

    When it all ended winning the fight

    There in the mist beholding a sight

    A native slave girl given as prize

    Beautiful Aztec princess

    Then he reached the city of gold in the lake

    And vowed that he was going to take

    Helmets, breastplates and cannons lost

    Many men died was the cost

    Some men were burdened with so much gold

    They sank and drowned is how it’s been told

    The Spanish knights winced like sparrows

    Through a gauntlet of stones and arrows

    Those lucky enough to survive

    Got dragged away and taken alive

    Their hearts taken from their chest ripped open

    And their bodies eaten as a token

    Memories of better times back in Spain

    Charming and gallant

    Woo senoritas and entertain

    Courtships and romance how life was back then

    Adventurous life of Cortez

    Nobles with titles grandees and Knights

    Dancing with ladies late in the night

    Lovers kiss under the moonlight

    From Saville to Barcelona

    All the Aztecs were so fierce

    Spanish lances did they pierce

    Brought their empire to an end

    That they could not defend

    So bold he marches on

    With gold by the ton

    The war being won

    And the conquest just begun

    Back in Spain with triumph and with glory

    And the fame the soldiers tell his story

    Of Cortez Conquistador

    From a theme by Franz Liszt/Rhapsody Espaniol

  • In a Dungeon

    In a dungeon

    Of the French Bastille

    From its Towers

    Shading bowers

    Where my heart was imprisoned

    Whilst they charged me with treason

    For my love

    To the gallows

    And the guillotine

    Then conspire

    Burned with fire

    I prithee please have mercy

    When you found me unworthy

    Of my love

    Once our lives in better days

    When we pledged our vows

    Paris spree and love carefree in spring

    Trothed to you perchance I’ll falter

    Fleeing from your charms

    Thou art fair maiden

    Courtier of the Queen

    Pretty lass of dainty class

    Anon to be shortly with me

    Twain I sought privy counsel

    When love sealed my fate

    -Recital----

    In stone castles

    And ivory towers

    where courtiers flatter

    The sovereign’s powers

    Mark this well,

    There within corridors murmur

    Behind marble effigies

    Of bygone kings in armor

    Vouchsafe the whispers

    Of a lover’s tale in secret rendezvous

    Quivering with candles in soft footsteps,

    Run the two

    Where a lovely mademoiselle

    Pledged for a king’s ransom to kiss

    This suitor groaning

    To the ministering angels for bliss

    Ay marry! I pleading curtsey

    Desperate on bended knee

    ‘Twas misfortunes to cast

    Priceless pearls hither from me

    I but a knave wooer

    And the damsel above rubies

    Taken by the Queen’s henchmen

    To my fate, his duties

    But removed from the courtyard

    In chains and so fraught

    Yoked under heavy guard

    To this place I am brought

    Thus was my sin

    Pursued my dear lady

    To what end I know not

    To love her so madly

    I leave you with this last piece of advise

    If one day you find love in disguise

    Do not your consort make,

    Best be alone, and wise

    Notturno pour piano/Canzone Napolitana by Franz Liszt
