Once high above the mountain tops there stood a mighty town Full of simple miners who blessed what’s in the ground Rock by rock they changed its face to bring that mountain down They scratched around on hands and knees their souls are glory Keeper Keeper The town has many keepers the devil is only one They built a church upon his ground a battle to be won For many men will loose the fight and drink until they’re numb To work away in child’s play take refuge in the sun Keeper Keeper I got to get inside the mountain Where the devil holds the tin Kiss the ground with your wine Tell him all your sins In the deep and in the dark You tear it from his limbs Deep inside the mountain Where the devil – the devil holds the tin They say he is the keeper the keeper of the tin He lives inside the mountain collecting all their sins Kiss the ground with your wine he lets you dig within To bathe with all the sinners in the power of the tin Keeper Keeper Got to get inside the mountain Where the devil holds the tin Kiss the ground with your wine Tell him all your sins In the deep and in the dark You tear it from his limbs Deep inside the mountain Where the devil – the devil holds the tin The town has many keepers the devil is only one They built a church upon his ground a battle to be won For many men will loose the fight and drink until they’re numb To work away in child’s play take refuge in the sun Take refuge in the sun Take refuge in the sun Take refuge in the sun Take refuge in the sun

When we were born our lives were worlds apart Now we grow older now it’s very hard Boys together their innocent youth Roaming the streets and they’re looking for truth Hanging out with nothing to do Dreaming of a life they never knew Get a job it’s a waste of time The only way out is a life of crime Let the boys run wild Don’t get in their way cause they will never tire See the boys run wild Taking to the streets with their anger on fire They learn to grow up very fast Men of tomorrow if they last Fight for survival it’s very bold Each has a story that needs to be told When you look into their eyes The only thing you see is fear Lots of anger in their hearts The only words you need to hear Let the boys run wild Don’t get in their way cause they will never tire See the boys run wild Taking to the streets with their anger on fire Let the boys run wild – whoa ooh With their anger on fire Let the boys run wild – whoa ooh With their anger - their anger on fire When you look into their eyes The only thing you see is fear Lots of anger in their hearts The only words you need to hear Let the boys run wild don’t get in their way cause they will never tire See the boys run wild taking to the streets with their anger on fire Let the boys run wild See the boys run wild See the boys run wild With their anger - their anger - their anger on fire Let the boys run wild See the boys run wild Let the boys run wild Their anger - their anger on fire Let the boys run wild See the boys run wild Let the boys run wild Taking to the streets their anger on fire

Darkness falls Hit the wall Can’t you see that I’m dying inside Bring me down to the ground Leaves a taste that will mess you around Lookin back thru the years See the hate and the damage it’s done Now I’m left basket case With a head that keeps spinning around My depression gets me down Can’t you see I’m black inside See the darkness falls around It’s a never ending slide Someone help can’t you see There’s no pills to be pulling me up I need life I need hope Set me free from this terrible trap Take me out see the light Seek an end to the terror in me But I know that I can’t Ever wish to be totally free My depression gets me down Can’t you see I’m black inside See the darkness falls around It’s a never-ending slide A teardrop falls A bead of sweat A quickened heart An empty wet I look to you To heal my soul Lend me a hand Before I fall Whoa Whoa Darkness falls, Darkness falls, Darkness falls, The Darkness falls Darkness falls, Darkness falls, The Darkness falls, The Darkness falls

Came in from the country To see the city lights Said goodbye to her family Gone to find a better life Looking for adventure Was looking for some fame Said to mum she’s doing fine She started on the game I hear it in your voice I see it in your eyes No matter what you say Your life is such a lie Pretty little dolly girl Look what you’ve become Got a man, got a habit You thought it would be fun You try to tell yourself girl It’ll never be hard to stop You slip into your work clothes You take another shot I hear it in your voice I see it in your eyes No matter what you say Your life is such a lie Your life became a gamble You like to play the game You thought you would be different You’ll never be the same You took the name of Scarlet We always wondered why Look into those lonely eyes You can see her telling lies I hear it in your voice I see it in your eyes No matter what you say Your life is such a lie Who will come to save you To take away the pain All the people that love you They’ll never feel your shame No one knows your secret When they stole your purity Too young to be the defender Of your own morality Your life became a gamble You like to play the game You thought you would be different You’ll never be the same You took the name of Scarlet We always wondered why Look into those lonely eyes You can see her telling lies I hear it in your voice I see it in your eyes No matter what you say Your life is such a lie I hear it in your voice Your life is such a lie I see it in your eyes Your life is such a lie I hear it in your voice Your life is such a lie I see it in your eyes Your life is such a lie LIES LIES LIES

Every town has got one All know that it’s there All the people’s coming You see them every where Get on down to main street Under bright city lights You’ll see them in the shadows Creatures of the night Try to sell you freedom Creatures of the night Come from different places Of stories to be told Some born weak and helpless Some born strong and bold All here for a reason Only way of life Only got each other Creatures of the night Try to sell you poison Try to sell delight They’re all here down on main street The creatures of the night They huddled in the darkness Stay till early dawn Do I sell another trick my life is really torn For them there is a reason A long and lonely fight Creatures of the night They’re the creatures of the night To them it doesn’t matter if it’s right or if it’s wrong Go about their business and sing their lonely song You need to warm your body on a cold and windy night It’s all about survival you’re a creature of the night You’re a creature of the night You’re a creature of the night They try to sell you poison They try to sell delight All here for a reason The only way of life All hear down on main street The creatures of the night You’re a creature You’re a creature of the night You’re a creature And you’re a creature of the night You’re a creature You’re a creature of the night You’re a creature You’re a creature of the night You’re a creature You’re a creature of the night You’re a creature

You are my Demerol queen See you in my Demerol dream Lighten up my nights Purpose to the day See you in so many ways Cure me thru a brighter haze Take me to the sky Can I get much higher In this crazy place My vision is of red and green The brightest I’ve ever seen Can you see the light Is it just as bright Drop them in so many ways Whiskey helps me thru the day Spirits dull the pain I never see the same With my Demerol dream Flying thru the stratosphere on crystal meth and coke Friends and family look at me They say my life’s a joke Spend each day with my demons just trying to get by The destination of my life is trying to get high Walk the streets and do the crime to get some ready cash Break into the institute and make off with my stash Do a line and smoke some weed So I can feel brand new I’ll take a drink and make a toast To all the junkies who yeah Whoa oh oh whoa whoa whoa oh oh whoa Why won’t somebody help me are we really worlds apart Someone take my demons give me light within the dark Now I’m lost can I be found the circle has no end Someone take my voices I really need another friend See you in so many ways Cure me thru a brighter haze You take me to the sky Can I get much higher In my Demerol dream

Diablo 1-2-3 08:38
He stood out against the light His stories he would tell And how he’d fight into the night And dance right into hell He could taste the victory From every Latin soul He would cut away their life his treasure only gold He’d enjoy the spoils of war And they would pay the price There would be no stopping him No matter how hard you tried Diablo the Killer Bastardo Years did pass and he’d amass A bounty on his head People tried and people cried We need Diablo dead Could they stop this terror reign Salvage back some pride Many people thru the years Had fought and they had died Who could stop this warrior From taking off the land Look above for guidance and A strong and worthy man Diablo the Killer Bastardo Where can they find their saviour Is there a force that’s coming thru How can they find a reason Someone who’s honest and true Then out of the hills one day A horseman came to town He grabbed the challenge with both hands He threw the gauntlet down Diablo, said the horseman Your time round here is thru For I have come to free this land And I will conquer you Diablo Run Diablo Run Diablo Run Run Run The Horseman rode into their town An answer to their plea He rode for many days and nights To end this tyranny He’d heard the stories from long ago Of a man who killed for gold His hands were quick with nerves of steel The Horseman fearless and bold Diablo’ called out the Horseman I have come to set them free Your time has come to leave this earth For I will do the deed High noon had come as they stood alone In the sad and desperate town Not a whisper could be heard As they stared each other down Diablo drew – the Horseman knew And a single shot rang out Diablo dead the people cried Our freedom still in doubt Was justice done a legend born Is for others to behold To this day of years gone past His story will be told No one knew the Horseman’s name As he rode out of the town A single shot was all it took To take Diablo down A single shot all too quick to take Diablo’s crown A single shot is all it took to take Diablo down A single shot all too quick to take Diablo down

Soul Taker 04:45
I met a preacher the other day Put a curse on me I need to pray I got it coming for the things I’ve done There’s nowhere to hide my time has come I don’t mind what he had to say Been living it hard it’s time to pay A fire is raging in the setting sun Well come on boy you’re time has come See the rainbow in his eye Hold him close and kiss the sky When the taker comes for you Your lies become the truth I’m not a bad man but I do bad things I pay my dues for all those sins Did I choose him did he choose me Untie my hands and set me free I like the heat I like it wrong Don’t weep for me when I’m gone I’m a bad man in a black hole The taker is coming to take my soul See the rainbow in his eye Hold him close and kiss the sky When the taker comes for you Your lies become the truth When he comes to collect you The battle won’t be won You had your time to make amends but you never got it done Soul taker Soul maker He’ll suck the life from you Death dealer Soul stealer He’s reaching out for you I met a preacher the other day Put a curse on me now I need to pray I got it coming for things I’ve done Nowhere to hide my time has come I don’t mind what he had to say Been living it hard it’s time to pay A fire is raging in the setting sun Well come on boy you’re time has come See the rainbow in his eye Hold him close and kiss the sky When the taker comes for you Your lies become the truth See the rainbow in his eye Hold him close and kiss the sky When the taker comes for you Your lies become the truth See the rainbow in his eye Hold him close and kiss the sky When the taker comes for you Your lies become the truth

I was born yesterday Trouble seemed so far away Now it seems my friends no longer call Everything was better then I can still remember when I saw the future with a certain glow So I turned to stone As I learned to know When I turned to stone Tell myself I'm feeling all alone Many days have passed me by Celebrate with sunny skies Still I know I need a helping hand And the friends I thought I knew See them change my every view Now it seems I'm seeing them as they really are Now I turned to stone As I learned to know When I turned to stone Tell myself I'm feeling all alone I was born yesterday Trouble seemed so far away...

A thousand stars shine brightly on a northern winter sky The wind howls from the east lands over cold and frosty night Screaming out in terror and no one knows they’re fate And no one saw the shadow as it crashed the wooden gate It freaked the cattle grazing as they forged tortured ground The town’s folk huddled tightly trying not to make a sound The voice that drove and told him She was the spawn of Satan’s seed To end her life so early He’d done the cherished deed He’d spent his life secluded Certified insane Crippling medication It’s all part of the game What could it be that shook the night a girl just seventeen Who held the knife that cut so deep ending worldly dreams How would his life unfold would someone mediate And what of our young seventeen for her it’s just too late Somebody get me a shotgun Somebody get me a shotgun Somebody get me a shotgun Somebody get me a shotgun Somebody get me a shotgun Somebody get me a shotgun Somebody get me a shotgun Somebody get me a shotgun - NOW

Swamp Moon 05:44
He casts no shadow where he stands In the cold white light of the swamp moon A fog descends the urban waste land And he’s comforted by this blanket of doom Inhaling deeply the thick toxic waste For which he’s developed quite a taste The very essence from which he exists An insatiable appetite for society’s waste Tonight he’ll fill his deepest hole As you slumber he’ll be hard at work Devouring a million poor lost souls From another online social network Then rose the creature from the nuclear murky slime No soul, emotion, a being of modern time What’s its purpose, what is it here to do Can there be a future for the likes of me and you Oh lord the earth is dying There’s nothing we can do Satan is rising creating something new All life has perished, oh what shall unfold A brand new chapter, this story to be told So an end to a planet we once knew All light and life and energy withdrew Now just a chasm of dead decaying waste What brings tomorrow, what will take our place As he reaches out to you, take his hand And dance dance to a different tune And cast no shadow when you stand In the cold white light of the swamp moon The swamp moon He’s toxic and He’s coming to get you As he reaches out to you take his hand and dance dance He’s coming to get you in the cold white light There’s nothing we can do ooh He’s coming to get you

about

Legend could be conceived as a semi-conceptual story; much is based around the tale of a boy and a girl who both left their country upbringing for the promise of a better life in the big city.
Better life ……. well, that’s not necessarily what happens.
They are two different people who don’t know each other yet their stories are connected in both tragedy and love.
