BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – This Is Your Time

You got to paint it upon yourself
It’s written on your face
You’ll find no wealth on a carpet ride
You know that life ain’t no race

This is your time
It’s in your hands
This is your time
To make your stand

I see it all in the tapestry
And you can taste my blood
And it is all that you want to be
Here come the tears and the flood

This is your time
It’s in your hands
This is your time
To make your stand

Salvation inside you
In tales of yore
Vibration, I feel you
The station to shore

This is your time
It’s in your hands
This is your time
To make your stand

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – The Giver

Holy mother, Lord and maker
I am just a soldier of the free
You know I was once a taker
Lonely tired and sick, I could not see

Captured with the evidence
The seasons come and go
A prisoner in his residence
I’m haunted, don’t you know?
Don’t you know?

I live and die, I take the pressure
I wear a coat of armor you can’t see
And now I feel the final measure
Slow but quickly, this was meant to be

Captured with the evidence
The seasons come and go
A prisoner in his residence
I’m haunted, don’t you know?

Shake out the fear
Until I fall
And I will hear

Here come the Giver
You will be free
Just like the river
That leads to the sea

As I look down from the tower
I see the fields of hope that wait for me
Bring the dawn upon the hour
Ascending to the sky for you to see

Captured with the evidence
The seasons come and go
A prisoner in his residence
I’m haunted, don’t you know?

Shake out the fear
Until I fall
And I will hear

Here come the Giver
You will be free
Just like the river
that leads to the sea

My flesh and blood

I let my conscience suffer me
And it broke my will somehow
It shook me down, I’m on my knees
But I won’t be took to the bow

I let my conscience suffer me
And it broke my will somehow
It shook me down, I’m on my knees
But I won’t be took to the bow

Here come the Giver
You will be free
Here come the Giver
You will be free

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – The Circle

Cloudless
Nothing but sky over me
Peacefulness
How in this world could it be
Nameless
Ghostly, you shelter my flame
I am helpless
In the black light it’s a shame

I’m in the middle of a dream
I just don’t know what it means
I am at war with my fear
And I’m lost in the circle again

Powerless
Only the strong will prevail
Childless
Alone on this ship I will sail
Faceless
You try and reach for my soul
I’m helpless
In the black light down the hole

I’m in the middle of a dream
I just don’t know what it means
I am at war with my fear
And I’m lost in the circle again

Childless
Alone on this ship I will sail
Lord I’m helpless
I’m lonely and feeling so frail

I’m in the middle of a dream
I just don’t know what it means
I am at war with the fear
And it can only appear
And I’m lost in the circle again

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Midnight Sun

Cascade, earthquake
My quest is callin’ me
I’m made, I break
Sting like a honey bee
Velvet, princely
Too late to disagree
Gauntlet, you flee
God speed your symphony

Knife edge, restless
Inside do test my nerve
High ledge, timeless
Slowly yet I serve

I sleep in the midnight sun
In shade I rest
With my saffron
I weep in the midnight sun
This last parade
I face the dawn
Out here in the midnight sun
I’m miles away
And I am gone
And I taste the cinnamon
On my way to Avalon

Refused, no sin
Outside the devil lurks
Confused, tailspin
We ride, we make it work

I sleep in the midnight sun
In shade I rest
With my saffron
I weep in the midnight sun
This last parade
I face the dawn
Out here in the midnight sun
I’m miles away
And I am gone
And I taste the cinnamon
On my way to Avalon

I sleep in the midnight sun
In shade I rest
With my saffron
I weep in the midnight sun
This last parade
I face the dawn
Out here in the midnight sun
I’m miles away
And I am gone
And I taste the cinnamon
On my way to Avalon
I’m on my way, I’m on my way

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Man In The Middle

You got a whiplash tongue that is sharp like a razor
With your kill switch mind a role manipulator
And you’re so alive I can see ya on the marque
You’re in over drive but you’re lookin’ for the soul key

The man…the man in the middle
Someone can…now can you cry me a riddle

You’re a big bone lickin’ I can feel your vibration
A dime before you’re drinkin’ no you need a vacation
With your mighty fine wealth now you’re livin’ in a typhoon
You better check your health I see the risin’ of the black moon

The man…the man in the middle
Someone can…now can you cry me a riddle

Can’t see the light and the darkness has fallen upon you
Live and you die in the madness that gathers around you

In a big black car now you’re full of ambition
You’re a rock n roll star with a killer condition
Yeah talks so cheap and I heard it on the grape vine
You better sow what you reap or you’ll be walkin’ on a flatline

The man…the man in the middle
Someone can…now can you cry me a riddle

Can’t see the light and the darkness has fallen upon you
Live and you die in the madness that gathers around you

[solo]

Got a whiplash tongue that is sharp like a razor
With your kill switch mind a role manipulator
And you’re so alive I can see you on the marque
You’re in over drive but you’re lookin’ for the soul key

The man…the man in the middle
Someone can…can you cry me a riddle

Can’t see the light and the darkness has fallen upon you
Can’t see the light till you open your eyes
Can’t see the light till you open your eyes

Yeah…you’re the man
But can you cry me a riddle

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Little Secret

I’ve been watchin’ you go
I’m feelin’ so low
In this episode
I cannot replace
I’m all out of Grace
I can’t find the code
It broke me down
And took my pride
I wish I could turn
Back the tide
All is left to say?
Little secret
Little secret
And let it unfold
And Kill me inside
Shield, I can not defend
My fair weather friend
With no barricade
I’m letting you go
I’m lost in the glow
I feel so betrayed
I fail to inject
You’ve lost my respect
A fool to be wise
Where do I belong?
I thought I was strong
A storm on the rise

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – I Can See Your Spirit

You’re automatic
So wild to thrill
You say you won’t
But I know you will
You’re so dramatic
How can it be?
So full of life
And energy!
No need to panic
Don’t feel your age
L hear you live in
A golden cage
You get so manic
You get so spun
Get out my
You’re a loaded gun
Come around midnight
L pull down my guard
L want to feel it
I CAN SEE YOUR SPIRIT
So psychedelic
Right to the core
I’m gonna tie you down
To the floor
You’ re so angelic
My little Queen
High from above
In a Time Machine
You’re so electric
So far and wide
Your Majesty
Won’t you be my guide?
You are connected
So deep within
Now can’t you see
By the shape I’m in?
I see the sacred walls
That surround you
I see from 10 miles
I’m so high … high

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Dandelion

As I rise from golden slumbers
To my own mortality
And I want to take you with me
To my lone tranquility
Then you vanish right before me
And the room smells like a flower
In the palace of the kings
Yet the fruit is sometimes sour

My dandelion
My liberty
My dandelion
Your devotee
My dandelion
This alchemy
My dandelion

As I stumble to the parlor
I am filled with no regret
And I am but a troubadour
I am the last prophet
This house was once a vacancy
Now gold has turned to rust
But life is just a lesson
And full of wanderlust

My dandelion
My liberty
My dandelion
Your devotee
My dandelion
This alchemy
My dandelion

And I take
Dandelion
This is my inquisition
Got me spun up on the wire
And I make
Dandelion
I have come to my decision
Gonna walk into the fire

I hear the blackbird sing, it’s everything
I hear the blackbird sing, it’s what you bring

And I take
Dandelion
This is my inquisition
Got me spun up on the wire
And I make
Dandelion
I have come to my decision
Gonna walk into the fire
And I take
Dandelion
This is my inquisition
Got me spun up on the wire
And I make
Dandelion
I have come to my decision
Gonna walk into the fire

I hear the blackbird sing, it’s everything
I hear the blackbird sing, it’s what you bring
Dandelion

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Cry Freedom

Freak flag, I fly
Now can you hear me calling?
Don’t drag and justify
Or soon you will be fallin’
Last kiss, we hail
You’re ready for transition
Sweet bliss, derail
In the red mist, we shall sail

Holy father, believe it’s over
Cry freedom!
Dozen dawn, the last crusade
Cry freedom!
Many miles, many tears for soldiers
We’re the last brigade
In the motorcade

Too deep, so wide
Too late to get some shelter
I leap, you glide
We ride the helter skelter
Moonbeam, starbright
A storm on the horizon
Bad dream, daylight
Like a diver in the dead of night

Holy father, believe it’s over
Cry freedom!
Dozen dawn, the last crusade
Cry freedom!
Many miles, many tears for soldiers
We’re the last brigade
In the motorcade
Coat of armor upon your shoulder
Cry freedom!
Trail of blood, the last crusade
Cry freedom!
Many miles, many tears for soldiers
We’re the last brigade
In the motorcade

Freak flag,I fly
Can you hear me calling?
Don’t drag and justify
Or soon you will be fallin’
Last kiss, we hail
You’re ready for transition
Sweet bliss, derail
In the red mist, we shall sail

Holy father, believe it’s over
Cry freedom!
Dozen dawn, the last crusade
Cry freedom!
Many miles, many tears for soldiers
We’re the last brigade
In the motorcade
Coat of armor upon your shoulder
Cry freedom!
Trail of blood, the last crusade
Cry freedom!
Many miles, many tears for soldiers
We’re the last brigade
In the motorcade

Cry freedom!
Cry freedom!
Cry freedom!
In the motorcade

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Crawl

Out there you’re gotta walk so proud
You say you wanna leave this crowd
Today, a shot away, you slip
Seems like you’re gonna lose your grip

Invisible, invisible

You live and you will die, so stoned
And still you wonder why, alone

So fake, no mercy
You fall
You break, no pity
You crawl
So fake, no mercy
You fall
You break, no pity
You crawl

A wreck, a tragedy, a sign
So sad the memory, redline
Too late to build a bridge on trust
I see the gold has turned to dust

Invisible, invisible

You live and you will die, so stoned
And still you wonder why, alone

So fake, no mercy
You fall
You break, no pity
You crawl
So fake, no mercy
You fall
You break, no pity
You crawl

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Confessor Confessor

You give me the madness
I’ll give you a sign
No need to be mindless
At the scene of the crime

Now do you have a confession
That you want to make?
Your resurrection
I’m ready to take

Release the fantasy
And catch the final trip
Unleash the majesty
And tighten up your grip
Inside your memory
Has choked on broken glass
Beneath the Karma tree
You know this too shall pass
I won’t let you walk this path alone

Confessor
Let the motor burn
Confessor
Its time to overturn
Confessor
Can’t justify the past
I see your colors
Were born to last

It’s your resolution
What cannot be done
A simple solution
Before it all begun

And if you happen to see me
I’m already there
Out here on the hillside
I’m everywhere

Release the fantasy
And catch the final trip
Unleash the majesty
And tighten up your grip
Inside your memory
Has choked on broken glass
Beneath the Karma tree
You know this too shall pass
I won’t let you walk this path alone

Confessor
Let the motor burn
Confessor
Its time to overturn
Confessor
Can’t justify the past
I see your colors
Were born to last

Release the fantasy
And catch the final trip
Unleash the majesty
And tighten up your grip
Inside your memory
Has choked on broken glass
Beneath the Karma tree
You know this too shall pass
I won’t let you walk this path alone

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Common Man

Lord won’t you help me
Make it through the night?
No one can hear me
Lead me to the light
You are the reason
I am here today
Love is the answer
Take me far away

On my own I’m no better than
All alone
I’m a common man

Where are you brother?
I’m feelin’ kinda low
Sister and mother
I want to let you know
Can’t break the chain
It comes from deep within
Live through the pain
That’s underneath my skin

On my own I’m no better than
All alone
I’m a common man

Called by the Siren
Down by the sea
Ghost in the distance
It’s callin’ me
You are the reason
I am here today
Love is the answer
Take me far away

On my own I’m no better than
All alone
I’m a common man

On my way
I will all I can
I will stay
Just a common man

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Cold

Take my eyes
Burn down the Sun
How can you be so cold?
You left me here
All hope is gone
Where is the life
Sold
l pray the dawn
Will break this spell
What will become of me?
It took my breath
So hard I fell
Lost in a shell, ghostly
And the rain falls down
On the this lonely child
And I could not feel
The fire
And I realize
This was meant to be
And I need some time
To grieve
And you fade so slowly
Now all that shines is Gold
And I feel I’m dyin’
How can you be so cold?
When the sky is fallin’
Now that you’re growin’ old
And I feel I’m dyin’
How can you be so cold?
So slowly wake me
From my sleep
Here in this house I dwell
And don’t delay
The wound so deep
Down in this livin’ hell

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Big Train

On another destination
I hear the grinding of the wheel
Keep me waitin’ at the station
And I want you to reveal
I got a steely eyed devotion
I am ready for the thrill
Feel like I’m movin’ in slow motion
As my car begins to spill

Out on the track, shadow me
Down in the fools gallery

And you sow the seed
Its all that you need
You’re building on speed
Big train

As the passenger did mention
Darkness falls just like a thief
Now you’ve got my full attention
As the steam spills from beneath
Won’t you let me be a volunteer
Won’t you let come within
I will be your manic engineer
I’ll be your assassin

Out on the track, shadow me
Down in the fools gallery

And you sow the seed
Its all that you need
You’re building on speed
Big train

Won’t you whisper to my face
What you see can’t be replaced
By the fountain we embrace
On the mountain in my grace

Out on the track, shadow me
Down in the fools gallery

And you sow the seed
Its all that you need
You’re building on speed
Big train
Big train
Big train

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – An Ordinary Son

Hold my head up high
Now I see you, drying off your eyes
Four seasons, temper all my pain
And I have been sheltered … I accept the blame
For the Tumbling Dice
I put my ego aside
With fire and anger
I’ve shadowboxed you all my life
Bring it on yourself, bring it on me
Wrapped up in a box cause there’s nothing left for free
Gonna dig a hole, gonna fall in the dirt
Gonna redeem myself and rise upon the earth
And I feel, like the time has come
All ever wanted, was to be an ordinary son
Know the wounds run deep
But I take solace, knowing that hill is not so steep
Pale white Cigarette, barn full of hay
But I knew I shouldn’t have been down there anyway
Gone is the shadow that was cast over
And I Just wanna live in tranquility
And I believe that we will
Overcome
All the courageous
And all the forgiveness
Walk with me
Walk with me
So thank you for tending our survival
Cause I know I took that bread from our table

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Afterglow

There’s a sacred place
It’s where I go
As I lay my head
On my pillow
In this world I roam
The glory shines

Hard to breathe
My soul I leave
Now I can see

By the lake
The road you take
The lone mistake
I try to break

So let me go
I wanna know
So let me go
In the afterglow

In this wonderland
I lose myself
You will find no trace
To find yourself

Hard to breathe
My soul I leave
Now I can see

By the lake
The road you take
The lone mistake
I try to break

So let me go
I wanna know
So let me go
In the afterglow

In the wild wood rests
The autumn rose
With your shield and crest
This life you chose
I will cross the stream
That waits for me

Hard to breathe
My soul I leave
Now I can see

By the lake
The road you take
The lone mistake
I try to break

Let me go
I wanna go
So let me go
Oh, let me go
I wanna go
Let me go
In the afterglow

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – Song Of Yesterday

I Hold, True Passion
For many years, I would listen
The heavy weight upon my chest
Like a wailing wall

Code of silence of a dying heart
Don’t know where the end
Begins and the truth starts
When the hammer falls
It falls on you
I sit here waiting, waiting

I pull back the veil,
And I just can’t breathe (Uh),
And I flyyy away (Ohh, Ohh)
I fly away
Gonna’ fly us away
Like a Song of Yesterday

Freezing night, a oil lamp burns
The sun’s fire, soon will return
Broken castles, the flags still flown
Like a living ghost

Code of silence of a dying heart
Don’t know where the end
Begins and the truth starts
When the hammer falls
It falls on you
I sit here waiting, waiting

I pull back the veil,
And I just can’t breathe (Uh),
And I flyyy away (Ohh, Ohh)
Break it down, so low that you
Don’t know when to fail
Try a little harder, now you’re the
Drunk mad man in jail

Hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm
Hmmmm, hmmmm
Hmm, Hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm
Hmmmm, hmmmm

I fly away. Gonna’ fly us away
Gonna’ fly us away.
Gonna’ fly us away
I’m reaching out…
Like a Song of Yesterday
