Spectres

Come on come on
To the station of night
Come on come on
Everybody's waiting
Come on come on
With the signal in sight
Come on come on
There's a new tune playing

Are you ready to rock?.......yes i am
Are you ready to rock?.......yes i am
Are you ready to rock?.......yes i am
Who will rock with you.......oh woman will you

Come on come on to the cities of night
Come on come on everybody's praying
Come on come on for the wonder of light
Come on come on there's a new day breaking

Are you ready to rock?.......yes i am
Are you ready to rock?.......yes i am
Are you ready to rock?.......yes i am
Who will rock with you.......oh woman will you

I ain't gonna catch those countdown blues
I ain't gonna catch those countdown blues
I ain't gonna catch those countdown blues
I only live to be born again
I only live to be born again
I only live to be born again

Are you ready to rock?.......yes i am
Are you ready to rock?.......yes i am
Are you ready to rock?.......yes i am
Who will rock with you.......i know now
Who will rock with you.......i see somebody
Who will rock with you.......somebody like you
Who will rock with you.......yeah

I'm out of my place i'm out of my mind
I'm totally bent in the big time
There's no place for one of my kind
Scorn behind shades i don't care anyway

Celestial the queen
Celestial the queen
Celestial the queen

Her world turns around
In my ears the sound of laughter
Swift descent
Dark and mute dreams deceive

Her world turns around me
Celestial the queen
Celestial the queen

She came from the dark she came from a dream
All leather and chain the rising queen
Born into the night born into the spotlight
She spread her wings and then she was gone

Celestial the queen
Celestial the queen
Celestial the queen

The world turns around
In my head the fairy laughter
Swift ascent and then forever
It meant nothing

The world turns around me
Celestial the queen
Celestial the queen

She went down to her house by the water
To hide herself from his grasp
He went down to the water to find her
To consumate their love at last

Then the lightning flashing.........lightning, flashing, crashing
Fireworks shooting off in her head..in her head
The earth was shaking...............earth, shaking, quaking
Fireworks pouring down on her head..on her head
Only sound she heard was............sound, lovely word
Fireworks like a charm..............annointed
Blazing red

She went down to escape from her prison
To free herself from her fear
All those years up to here with tradition
And opportunity so near

Then the lightning flashing.........lightning, flashing, crashing
Fireworks shooting off in her head..in her head
The earth was shaking...............earth, shaking, quaking
Fireworks pouring down on her head..on her head
Only sound she heard was............sound, lovely word
Fireworks like a charm..............annointed
Blazing red

She went down on a snow white pillow
To cast herself in the looking glass
He knew the time had finally come now
To break the spell they shared at last

Then the lightning flashing.........lightning, flashing, crashing
Fireworks shooting off in her head..in her head
The earth was shaking...............earth, shaking, quaking
Fireworks pouring down on her head..on her head
Only sound she heard was............sound, lovely word
Fireworks like a charm..............annointed
Blazing red

That night her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late into the dark
The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow
The further i went on
I felt a spreading calm
Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said "like me i see you're walking alone
Won't you please stay?"
I couldn't look away

She said
I love the night
The day is ok and the sun can be fun but i live
To see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much i can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight

If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together

No mortal was meant to know such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness i'll see her again
Yes i'm gonna go
'cause now i know

I love the night
The day is ok and the sun can be fun but i live
To see those rays slip away

I love the night
I love the night
I love the night

Raise your can of beer on high
And seal your fate forever
Our best years have past us by
The golden age of leather

This was the night not long to come
In the year of our lord a.d.
Where in a desert way-house poised on the brink of eternity
Four and ninety studded horsemen closed the knot of honor
As only drunken soldiers can

And passed from man to man
A wanton child to dead to care
That each would find his pleasure as he might
For this fantastic night was billed
As nothing less than the end of an age
A last crusade
A final outrage
In this day of flaccid plumage

And there was worn no cloth but leather
Made supple by years of stinging cinders
And here were seen the scars of age
For age had been the common call for one last night together

Dawn colored the sky......the ritual ceased
Some had died.............they were buried with their bikes
Each grabbed a rag........from a man with a sack
Torn strips of color......the red and the black

I cam here willingly
And i will go down valiantly
We made a vow
To give it all we had to give
We made a vow
To die as we had lived

They flew the colors they began to fight
They flailed at each other like bugs at a light
Bodies and bikes beyond repair
Smell of oil and gas in the air

Then the wind whipped the desert with a giant hand
And the humans and the harleys caught the shifting sand
The old ranger weathered the storm
And he topped the rise by the middle of morn
He saw rippled dunes
Calm and surreal
And a glint of a solitary shaft of chromium steel

Golden age...
