Lamplight Symphony

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

(Kerry Livgren)

On a winter’s night, stars are cold and bright in the sky,
The slumber of the earth is pure and deep
From a distant wood, drifts the echo of a beast
The old man stirs and wakens in the night
He stands before his window gazing at the grave
Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind
And though his...

Closet Chronicles

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

(Steve Walsh / Kerry Livgren)

Once carried through the current
And being swept away
The king is in the closet
He’s hiding from today
And though he owns all fortunes
This room is where he’ll stay
And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey

Gazing out the window
Of the 42nd second floor
He...

Chasing Shadows

Monday, April 4th, 2011

(John Elefante / Dino Elefante)

Some of you may know me and many of you won’t
I am just a player in the band
Some of you will listen and some of you will hear
Some of you may laugh at me and some of you will cheer
‘Cause all of us, we are an audience
Looking for evidence, to help it all make sense

(Chorus)
Have...

Reason to Be

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

(Steve Walsh/Kerry Livgren)
When the sun is in the mid sky, he wears a golden crown
And he soaks the world with sunshine as he makes another round
It’s been a faster yeard than yesterday, all things that I had planned
And when I think I might be gaining I’m in the sunshine once again
Well I walk the road of life among the strong,...

Going Through the Motions

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

(John Elefante / Dino Elefante)

Standing in line
At the usual time
With a dollar and a dime
Are you going through the motions?

Do you wear the latest style?
Can you guarantee a smile?
Won’t you stop and talk awhile?
Are you going through the motions

(Chorus)
And is your day just a reflection of the day...

Borderline

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

(Kerry Livgren)

You’re a rich man, but a poor man
With your pockets lined with gold
Always in the middle neither hot or cold
And you think you’ve found your freedom
But it always slips away
Nothing ever satisfies, you always have to pay

(Chorus)
(On the) Borderline, you’re standing on the borderline

The Pilgrimage

Friday, July 16th, 2010

I’ve got books that say the good man’s golden
And more that say the bad will fall,
So many men have drowned in evil, and left Lucifer standing tall
Don’t take the devil’s dare, don’t gamble when the game ain’t fair,
Lock and bolt the doors, can’t let the devil use you anymore
You got to listen all...
