Never return to the ones that provided  
Children draining parents of will  
I hold out my hand to bloodless child  
I’m taken by the one I was saving from death

By demons be driven  
By demons be driven  
Beckon the call, beckon the call  
Beckon the call, beckon the call

</div>

The rancid smell of burning hair  
Screaming in excruciating pain  
Blood boils over, warping veins  
Burnt skull collapses onto melting brains  
Spontaneous death, up in flames  
Twisting and writhing as life burns away  
Until nothing is left but charred remains

</div>

Passing necrosis, the tunnel of pain is in front  
You’re passing through dimensions, a life is ended, another is gone  
Remember for the last time, then you’ll be erased  
Another reich is calling, your journey has just begun

Close the open door, released from all abhor  
Finally unleashed, bodily deceased  
Noting but death remains… YOU DIE!

All our times have come ~Here but now they’re gone ~Season’s don’t fear the reaper ~Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain ~We can be like they are `Come on, baby, don’t fear the reaper ~Baby take my hand, don’t fear the reaper ~We’ll be able to fly, don’t fear the reaper ~Baby I’m your Man

If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on,  
If you’re gonna try, well stick around,  
Gonna cry, just move along,  
If you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die.

Goodbye my friend, it’s hard to die  
When all the birds are singing in the sky  
Now that the spring is in the air  
Pretty girls are everywhere  
Think of me and I’ll be there

</div>

Who will go down to those shady groves  
And summon the shadows there  
And tie a ribbon on the sheltering arms  
In the springtime of the year

The songs of birds seem to fill the wood  
That when the fiddler plays  
All their voices can be heard  
Long past their woodland days

To you, I’ll give the world  
To you, I’ll never be cold  
'Cause I feel that when I’m with you  
It’s alright, I know it’s right  
And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score  
And I love you, I love you, I love you like never before

We are the world, we are the children  
We are the ones who make a brighter day  
So let’s start giving  
There’s a choice we’re making  
We’re saving our own lives  
It’s true we’ll make a better day  
Just you and me

</div>

The love of my life is a shady lady  
Tearing me up just to bring me down  
She used to be calm, but now she’s crazy  
I don’t mind  
Tearing me down like a jungle monkey  
Cutting me up like a jungle cat  
She used to be fine, but now she’s funky  
I don’t mind  
She’s not the love of my life anymore

Now she’s a cool, cool black  
She moves like a cat  
If you don’t get her name  
Well you might not make it back

She’s got the looks that kill, that kill  
She’s got the looks that kill, that kill  
She’s got the look

She asked me, “Be my sister  
Sister, sister of the moon”

Some call her sister of the moon  
Some say illusions are her game  
They like to wrap her in velvet  
Does anyone, ooh, know her name?

Some velvet mornin’ when I’m straight  
I’m gonna open up your gate  
And maybe tell you ‘bout Phaedra  
And how she gave me life  
And how she made it end  
Some velvet mornin’ when I’m straight

Flowers growing on a hill, dragonflies and daffodils  
Learn from us very much, look at us but do not touch  
Phaedra is my name

Yes  
I’m coming down  
Your beauty is  
A color surround  
Into the half light  
Another velvet morning for me

She wore blue velvet  
Bluer than velvet was the night  
Softer than satin was the light  
From the stars

She wore blue velvet  
Bluer than velvet were her eyes  
Warmer than May her tender sighs

</div>

Gazing at people some hand in hand  
Just what I’m going through they can’t understand  
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend  
Just what you want to be you will be in the end

And I love you-yes I love you  
Oh how I love you

Nights in white satin  
Never reaching the end

Even the nights are better  
Now that we’re here together

Only in the evening at night I come alive  
So try to keep your passion deep I need it to survive

I’m the only thing you need  
Upon your love I feed

When the clock strikes midnight  
I’m on the prowl of love
