Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say [Refrain] Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say [Refrain] No! Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor Now your life's no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you [Refrain]

Somebody's shouting Up at a mountain Only my own words return Nobody's up there It's a deception When will I ever learn? I'm alone here With emptiness eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And whispering pictures of home Wondering blindly How can they find me Maybe they don't even know My body is shaking Anticipating The call of the black hooded crow... I'm alone here With emptiness eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And taunting with pictures of home Here in this prison Of my own making Year after day I have grown Into a hero But there's no worship Where have they hidden my throne?... I'm alone here With emptiness eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And screaming out pictures of home

Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind. Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you’re ready to see The gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Oh gates of Babylon. You can see but you’re blind Someone turned the sun around But you can see in your mind The gates of Babylon You’re riding the endless caravan Bonded and sold as a slave A saber dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave A saber dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away. Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind. Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you’re ready to see The gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin. Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil the devil will take you away Black gates of Babylon The devil is me And I’m holding the key To the gates of sweet hell Babylon.

Manic depression's touching my soul I know what I want but I just don't know How to, huh, go about gettin' it Feeling sweet feeling, Drops from my fingers, fingers Manic depression's a catchin' my soul Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain You make love, you break love It's, a, all the same When it's, when it's over, baby Music, sweet music I wish I could caress, caress, caress Manic depression's a frustrating mess U'ow!

Are you one of mine who can sleep with one eye open wide? Agonizing psychotic solitary hours to decide Reaching for the light at the slightest noise from the floor Palms of hands perspire heart goes leaping at a knock from the door. In the Dead of Night In the Dead of Night Rich and powerful ascend complicated bends to be free To indulge in what they will and jaded thrill or fanstasy Shuttered windows that belie all stifled cries from within And prying eyes are blind to proceedings of the kind that begin In the Dead of Night In the Dead of Night

I've been mistreated, I've been abused. I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused 'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated. Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have. I've been lonely, I've been cold. I've been looking for a woman to have and hold 'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated. Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing, I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe. I've been mistreated, I've been abused. I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused 'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh. Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing, I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe. Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman. I've been losing my mind.

Dark night, there is no light In the realm of the black magic man Soul's flight into the cold blight Of the destroyer's magic land Poor man, whose spirits are stronger They're the ones who will reign You're struggles are in vain Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood Soon black magic's dying You'd better start crying Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood Soon black magic's dying You'd better start crying Throw out your evil desire The dark king's kingdom is Made out of mire Throw out your evil desire The dark king's kingdom is Made out of mire Keep on for the kingdom of light There is no darkness, there is no night

I don't mind just what you say I never heard you, baby, never heard you anyway I don't care what you do I'm just so lonely, ain't me and you Sly, sly, sly like the demon's eye Now everything's good, I said, everything's fine You don't know, don't know it's the end of your time How does it feel to be turned away? I've known it, baby, almost every day Sly, sly, like the demon's eye I don't need you anymore I don't want you, baby, to hang around my door You slip and slide round my brain You think you're so clever, yeah, but you know you're insane Sly, sly, like the demon's eye I don't want you baby Hanging around my door

Know your place in life is where you want to be, Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me. Keep on looking forward; no use in looking 'round; Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down. Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought The wonders of the world, wonders of the world, Wonders of the world they wrought. Live for yourself -- there's no one else More worth living for Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more Well, I know they've always told you Selfishness was wrong Yet it was for me, not you, I came to write this song Chorus

Sweet child in time you'll see the line The line that's drawn between the good and the bad See the blind man shooting at the world Bullets flying taking toll If you've been bad, Ooh Lord I bet you have And you've not been hit by flying lead You'd better close your eyes and Oooh bow your head And wait for the ricochet
