Metamorphosis
c E.Samuels 21st
May ‘08
Verse 1
A wind is blowing – a sudden
wind of change
A dust cloud gathers
everywhere.
A shape is growing, forming
in the gloom
The sound of distant drumming fills the
air.
Chorus
Don’t you just know that something
isn’t right?
Don’t you just feel that
there should be more to life?
Don’t you just wish there
was a future full of promise;
something beautiful and lasting was in sight?...
Metamorphosis
Verse 2
Here it comes – a quivering
mass of flesh
Marching through a green and
fertile place.
Relentlessly advancing,
consuming all it meets
Leaving only barren empty
waste.
Chorus
Middle Eight 1
Suddenly the creature is
upon me
I feel the earth move all
around
A deafening roar of angry
voices
I find I recognise the sound
It’s human greed personified
A people monster miles wide
A rabid beast that can’t be satisfied…
Middle Eight 2
I’m sucked into this
nightmare journey
Pulled along at lightning speed
But there are others like me trapped
here
We join together in our need.
We find a way to cause a change
We watch the creature
re-arrange
We witness an emergence new
and strange…
Verse 3
There it goes – soaring
through the air
Light and beautiful in
flight
Beneath its wings life
returns more fair
A new earth starts to bloom
before our sight
Chorus
Dragonfire
C
Elaine Samuels ‘90s
Verse 1
And it came from nowhere – out of the dark
A
gust in the still air – a tell tale spark
On
the walls of the city,
the sentinel sleeps alone.
A
hundred years of peace has made him
silent
as the stone…
Chorus
Dragonfire, dragon flame
Bringing
death to our eyes
Dragonfire,
dragon flame
Watch
the skies
Verse 2
Malice
burning, and jaws open wide
Diving
and throwing, the flame from inside
A
ball of fire engulfs the walls, and
spills into the street.
Smoke
and flames and people running, the chaos and the heat …
Chorus
Verse 3
Now
the beast is sleeping – jewelled armour of
gold
Wicked
through to the marrow and a thousand years old
On
the walls of the city, the generations
wait.
Sharp
eyes in the starlight – in case the beast awakes
Chorus
All Fall Down
c
Elaine Samuels 2nd June 2006
Verse 1
A change is coming round and I think its going to last
It’s so hard to take the step to the future from the past
I feel the wind of change, I feel the pull of time
I don’t know if I can make this climb
Chorus
And we all fall down, all
fall down
Change is coming real soon and we all fall down.
Verse 2
It’s just another day, a corridor in life
But ahead there is acrossroad; so I’ll have to make a choice.
I sense the coming doom, the
writing’s on the wall;
I think I’m heading straight for a fall.
Chorus
Middle 8
Haven’t you got a best
friend? Someone you can talk to?
Who can pick up the pieces left of you
We are all on this journey, all heading for change
Why don’t we stand together and create a new age?
Verse 3
The tide is on the turn. The water’s coming in
I’m standing on the edge.
Will I sink or will I swim?
I’m reaching out my hands. I
can really feel the force
But together we will steer
the right course
Chorus
Siren Song
c Elaine
Samuels 13th April 2006
Verse 1
I live on this island,
surrounded by the sea
I keep my feet firmly on the
ground
And let the sky go by above
me
But something is calling
Like a whisper on the wind
Like a hint of spring on
frosty winter days
The spirit of the sea is
calling out to me
And I know I’m going to have
to go away
Chorus
I follow the siren song
It leads me on and on
To who knows where?
Verse 2
Stepping out on the ocean, a dangerous place to be
I feel the wind and the tide pulling me on
The grip of the spirits of the sea
Something is calling, a
melody so pure
The like of which may never come again
I have to go along, to
follow that sweet song
To give up now would leave me in such pain.
Chorus
Middle 8
I’m so alone
No way back home
The sky grows dim
I cannot
swim
Verse 3
I live in this dreamworld, unfettered
but alone.
I hear the voices all around
But I know I’m not at home
I still feel the calling
There’s something up ahead
Maybe a jewel or just
sparkle on the sea
I know one day I’ll find, the dream I have in mind
I’m heading for the place I want to be
Chorus
Best Days
c Elaine Samuels Oct 11th ‘04
Verse 1
Here we are all together
On this road travelling on now
We can join hands and be happy
Cos we are singing the same song
Chorus
These are the best days, wo wo wo
These are the best days, wo wo wo
These are the best days ... Of our lives
Verse 2
Follow footsteps of the people
Who travelled once upon a time now
Climbing mountains crossing oceans
Another moment down the line
Middle 8
The sun is shining, the birds are flying
I feel a wake up call
I can’t wait to get out and be a part of it
all
Chorus
Verse 3
Take some time to be
together
Enjoy the good times while you may
Help your sisters and your brothers
Make the most of
every day
Chorus
The Hunger
c Elaine Samuels, 26th
Jan ‘07
Verse 1
Just one taste and you’ll be
turned
Step into the dark oh oh
Tread that path and you’ll
get burned
Exploding with a spark oh oh
Chorus
It’s the hunger and it’s
strong
It’s the hunger drives you
on
It’s the hunger takes
control
It’s the hunger steals your
soul
Verse 2
Like a rush the feeling grows
Drives you on against your
will
Reach the place and then
time slows
Closing in you feel the
thrill
Middle 8
Bite down taste the change
Bite down break the cage
Put out your fire
And quench your desire
Verse 3
In the icy light of dawn
Face up to your deeds oh oh
Calm until the rush returns
A slave to your needs oh oh
Chorus
Before Midnight
c Elaine Samuels 23rd April ‘08
Verse 1
It’s 10 before midnight and everyone’s asleep
I’m staring at the bodies on
the floor
It’s 10 before midnight and it makes me want to weep
Soon there’ll be a knocking at the door
Chorus
Where were you when we heard the warnings?
When the 4 pale riders started the war.
Where were you when we tried
to fight them?
Where will you be when the
reaper calls?
Verse 2
5 minutes to midnight, what am I going to do?
Only a few are coming round
5 minutes to midnight, I’m really counting on you
I can feel my heart begin to
pound
Chorus
Middle 8
Your spirit left for answers, headed into the unknown
We searched for your signs
along the way
You disappeared from this world, looking
for the truth
We need your vision, “help
us now”, we pray
Verse 3
It’s nearly midnight and moonlight splits the black
Smothering the evil tide
with light
It’s nearly midnight, you’re really coming back
Maybe now together we can fight
Chorus
I'll Always Love You
c Elaine Samuels June ‘95
Verse 1
Looking out over the sea for the tide to bring you back to me
White waves crash the shore and mist my eyes
The sun is spilling out its blood
red life
And seagulls cry on dark and
stormy skies
Chorus
And there’s a warm light waiting in the harbour
And a feeling deep within my
heart
There are good times just
around the corner
And I’ll always love you, though
we are apart
Verse 2
Walking thro’ cobbled
streets where we used to wander hand
in hand
The old familiar places
don’t feel the same
Shadows stretch from every
doorway clinging to my feet
I think of you and whisper out your name
Chorus
Verse 3
The Autumn leaves are flying on the golden light of evening time
I taste the salt sea spray upon the air
The lighthouse tall and
stark shining out as it grows dark
Reminds how I met you
standing there
Chorus
