"Crowley & Me"
V1
Where did we meet?
How could I forget.
Was it in my mind? Was it in my sleep.
The waters of life & the fires of hell.
A glance from your eyes, as you cast your spell.
V2
We stood at the top looked down on the sea.
The golden ship sinking for Crowley & me.
The dark boy beckons, to him we must run.
He shows us the reality in the things that we've done, we've done.
V3
Hold on to your Chinese girl.
Duty bound you found the pearl.
Moments of delusion never turned your hair.
Despite that iron fist punching the air.
Nothing matters to Crowley & Me.
Take all in our stride with certainty.
On the board of life, we play the game.
Or be lost forever, drowned in shame.
Middle Eight.
Don't be afraid of what you are.
Don't be afraid of what you are.
Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.
V4
I stood by your side when they sent you away.
You turned your head, wanting to stay.
No stone unturned I searched with you.
We grasped their secrets, all of those jewels.
The gate blew open, you saw the truth.
Futility of life, the sadness of hope.
You rubbed your eyes, we stood in the light.
A vision of our hearts delight.
The spirit plays a waiting game.
Hard to find, impossible to tame.
The wise ones watch as the foolish run.
Paying the price for the things that they've done.
Chorus.
Crowley & Me most definitely.
Crowley & Me just fine you see.

The Pentagram.
Verse 1.
In the beginning, as the fire took its course.
He tamed the Mammoth and then he tamed the horse.
Standing tall he was the Lord of the Earth, Lord of the Earth.
Chorus.
Show me the magic. The magic pentagram.
Show me the magic. The magic pentagram.
Show me the magic. The magic pentagram.
Verse 2
He carved a ship, from the holy tree.
Set sail around the earth, wanting to be free.
He was now the Lord of the Sea, Lord of the Sea.
Lord of the sea.
Middle Eight.
Arise dear lord,for this heaven is yours.
With God by your side, just knock on the door.
At last you will become, Lord of the spirit.
At last you will become. At last you will become.
Verse 3.
Took the lightning from the sky, and made it his dream.
Worked so hard to find the power of steam.
He was now the Lord of the Fire, Lord of the Fire.
The last of the demons, he knows he cannot scare.
Voices all around him, they must declare.
That he is now the Lord of the Air.

Jealousy, Parody, Debauchery, Homosexuality.
Verse 1.
Clouds without water.
Love without fear.
Smoke from my altar.
Do I make myself clear?
Play by my rules.
Look straight ahead.
Don't play the fool.
Just lay on my bed.
Clouds without water.
Love without fear.
Smoke from my altar.
Do I make myself Clear?
Clouds without water.
Racing with the wind.
Lambs to the slaughter.
Love without sin?
Verse 2.
All we are saying.
Just be yourself.
No one is your Master.
Everyone for himself.
When the reverend speaks.
We know our place.
But the flesh is weak.
There's egg on our face.
Our face.
Clouds without water.
Love without fear.
Kneel at my altar.
Do I make myself clear?
Clouds without water.
Love without fear.
Kneel at my altar.
Do I make myself clear?
No fear. No fear. No fear.

The Mantra.
Verse 1.
I searched to make a song for you.
One that would lift my heart.
No sad monotones, the same, the same, the same.
Just reflections of that dark unimaginable sea.
Verse 2.
My golden hawk, my everlasting sky.
Look! how the shadows changed that glittering gold.
I strived so hard to please you, look in my eyes.
Your love sees it all, and never grows cold.
Give me the mantra. Give me the mantra.
Give me the mantra. Give me the mantra.
Chorus.
This passion eats me day and night.
Will never stop, until I am dead.
So put me in the dirty earth.
Perhaps I'll get a better birth.
Verse 3.
You know this snake that has bitten me.
In my breast that trembles so delicately,
I whispered your name, you chose the hour.
To take my youth, to own my heart.

The Logos.
Verse 1
Out of my night came a flaming star.
My own, seventy light years ahead of its time.
Guiding me through that dark black scar.
It's glory my companion as I speed through space.
Towards that gate of light, that some call death.
Pulsating sphere of gold, contracting, expanding in my embrace.
My embrace. My embrace.
Logos, logos everywhere.
Logos everywhere, beware, beware, beware.
Verse 2.
It gives me immortal life, burning the blackness into Crimson red.
Listen, Do you hear? Your voice. Your word. Your secret seed.
Ecstasy, that destroys the guilt that I wear, with dread.
With dread, with dread, with dread.
Chorus
Find it.
Right, right, right between the eyes.
Right, right, right between the eyes.
Right, right, right between the eyes.

Hymn To Pan
Verse 1
Thrill me with your moving lust for light.
Come with me, let's race through the night.
Fly over the sea.
From Sicily to Arcady.
Verse 2
Speed with Apollo in his bridal dress.
Hunt with Artemis silken shod undress.
Wash your white thighs, beautiful God.
In the wood, where angels trod.
Verse 3
Devil or God, come to me my man.
Over the hill the trumpets sound for Pan.
From the spring those drums so low,
Play that flute, blow Pan blow.
Spring those drums so low.
Play your song, blow pan blow.
Middle.
Dive into the light of passionate prayer, (Lo Pan Lo).
The Crimson shrine, scarlet snare.
The soul that stares with eyes of blue. (Lo Pan Lo).
Watches your lust seeping through.
Verse 4
The tangled forest, that broken branch.
Of the tree of life, I seize my chance.
My mind and body sail over that sea.
To Pan, this God for me.
Verse 5
The eagle wounds me with beak & claw.
Great beasts arrive, the Gods withdraw.
Am I born to die? Says the Unicorn.
No need to cry, no need to mourn.
Second Middle
I am numb the devil waits. (Lo Pan Lo).
Give me the eye at your gate.
Thrust in the sword to break my bonds. (Lo Pan Lo).
Devour this madness magic wand.
Verse 6
I rant, I rave, I rape and I tear.
Never ending, sad world without a prayer.
This child this woman & the son of man.
Come on Pan do what you can.
Verse 7
With hooves of steel I race over the rocks.
Through stubborn solstice, to Equinox.
Golden goat, you're God is here.
Flesh to your bone, flowers for your spear.
Fade Out.
The Devils daughter, son of man.
Pan my man . Do what you can.
Pan my man. Do what you can.
The Mantra.

The Buddhist.
Verse 1.
Never was a face as fair as yours.
Heart so true, love so pure.
Impossible to find, just can't ignore.
Heart so true, love so pure.
This jungle heaven that locks away.
Silence so loud and us so proud.
Destiny strikes again, time to play, time to pray.
Verse 2.
The restless arrow strikes and finds me.
I love you, feed the hunger in my heart.
Help me please & set me free.
The drug that saves is never smart.
It offers no key to unlock my heaven.
For you & me is truly forbidden.
The pearl that lies beneath the ground.
Makes lives of love, go round & round.
Verse 3.
All my darkness lies within.
No sun, no moon, no stars therein.
My angel flies without a fall.
This world is sick, I am appalled.
Of my universe, and of my heart.
This will, always keeps us apart, keep us apart, keep us apart.
Om, Om & Om Again.
Om, Om & Om Again.
Heart so pure. Heart so true.

Lament For Al (Elergy).
Verse 1.
I lie beneath this beautiful spot.
The brethren gave it to me hot.
Trinity college made me its own.
To the flatties I was known as the beast.
Call me the beast.
Verse 2
Three thousand women called me pet.
Thoughts of them just made me sweat.
Love of them just drove me crazy.
Good at chess but never lazy.
I'm the beast. Call me the beast.
Verse 3
Climbed some mountains in my time.
Wrote some poems, some sublime.
Tigers, bears were my pals.
Never were as nice as all my gals.
Found a way to laugh at myself.
You wont find me on any shelf.
Lots of chats with my old friend God.
Now I lie buried beneath the sod.
Beneath the sod, beneath the sod.
Chorus.
AC DC Its not a crime.
Happens to us all, We run out of time.
I wrote the books, I was doing alright.
Living my life searching for the light.
Beast I am the beast. Beast I was the beast.
Love you Al, Miss you Pal.
Love you Al, Miss you Pal.
