02) Wedding
-------------------
{Storyteller}:
They are to be wed
A wedding in the season of love
They didn't spare expenses
Eddie was rich enough

He bought them a big house
On the side of the hill
They took vows together
To love forever until...

Until death do us part





03) Conversation
-------------------
{Barry}:
You made a good choice
That woman sure looks fine
I wish that I could make
Such a woman mine.
All through the nights I
Hang round the roundabout
All those women just
Ignite my doubt
You know I'm a rover
And I can't stop running free
But a woman likes that
Can get a hold of me

Chorus {Eddie}:
Take it easy, boy,
You have your good times good times now
I'm sure you'll find your own
Little girl and take your vow - someday

You know how my ties are fray
I could never let a lady stay
Leila will make you happy
Give you good times off your own
Your words are kind
But I remain a rolling stone

Chorus x2
SOLO










04) Eddie Diment
-------------------
{Eddie}
First verse:
My mama named me Eddie dement
My birth was a blessed event
I walk around unashamed of my pride
They say it's decadence but I've got nothing to hide

Chorus:
Got a women got a big house on a hill
My woman's fine got all the money to pay each and every
bill
Walking down the street just wanna scream and shout
Let me tell you boy what the good life's all about

2nd verse:
empty x2
I was born on a bed lined with gold
It wasn't too long before I rock'n'rolled
Got my collage diploma by the time I was 16
Just a clean, mean, money making machine

On my knees took Leila as my bride
She's the only one good enough to stand by my side
Got no dues left unpaid
In the image of god I was made

Chorus

SOLO C PART RIFF

Chorus






05) Devil's Device
-------------------
{Storyteller}:
One night Eddie came home to find his
House to be the birthplace of his downfall
His brother Barry always seemed inferior
As fates collide a cry slashes the night

{Eddie}:
How can you be your brother's tormentor?
How can you be your husbands vice?
How can you be the devil's device?
How can you be your brother's tormentor?







06) The Clash
-------------------
Verse one {Eddie}:
On the edge of a mountain here I stand
Do I drink from the fountain do I dare raise my hand
In the twilight of regret all my words are left unspoken
Through my eyes the tears reflect all that was now lays
broken

Verse two:
Time bears only lies
Walk alone on broken land
As I watch the tainted skies
Now you bow to my command

Verse three {Barry}:
I will not ask for your forgiveness brother
You can curse me but for her there'll be no other
Far too great your vanity has grown
Now you'll have to reap all that you have sown  

Verse one {Eddie}:
On the edge of a mountain here I stand
I have drank from the fountain I did dare raise my hand
In the twilight of regret all my words were left unspoken
Through my eyes the tears reflect all that was now lays
broken

Solo

Outro:
What do I feel?
How can my eyes weepppppppppppp


07) Barry's Death
-------------------
(instrumental)




08) Peyote Driver
-------------------
Verse 1(a) {Peyote Driver}:
I am your sweet relief,
The caretaker of your grief
Now that everything has turned to sand
Like a stranger on a foreign land
You'll have to get on by
The river flows don't dare ask why
Verse 1(B):
The wind has blew your ship adrift
But I can be your sweet relief

Chorus:
I am the Peyote driver
I reach my arm to your abyss
And through my eyes blue sky you might discover
Bend your forehead to a dark angel's kiss

You just spread your wings
Fly through an ocean of your dreams
Leave that desert far behind
It's not meant for a broken mind
Have you yet seen where your soul has never been?
(Empty line)
The other side it bears treasures it bears gold
In it's warm embrace where all unfolds

Chorus

C part:
Now that you've opened the flower
Here you stand in front of god's stabbed truth
{Eddie}:
It is a jeweled and darkened hour.
Here in broken heaven's youth

Outro (solo)...





09) Tainted
-------------------
Verse {Eddie}:
Can my eyes lie?
Ghost clouds sail the sky.
A voice comes from jaded walls.
A lonely crow, his name it calls.
A face appears / a face I've known.
Whenever I'm all alone

It calls my name

Chorus:
I am tainted -
Peyote stain
In my mind his death narrated
Am I going insane?
His eyes reflecting
My love turned to hate
His voice is calling
So I cannot forget

Verse 2:
The city is one darkened room
It's door locked by past regret
Every glass reflects my doom
And his voice won't let me forget
All through my way I did but wrong
Now in my home I don't belong

Chorus

C part:
I won't forget you brother
Just let me go
Don't come to me
Just let me go
Just let me go X A LOT (solo)




10) The Sky is burning
-------------------
Verse one :{ Barry}
Now you hear my voice through the broken glass
A disturbing noise unforgiving past
You can bind your ears you can close your eyes
I contain your fears I wear no disguise
I'm a haunting ghost I'm a brother's vice
You must take your choice you must roll your dice
Now you must repay me you must understand-
-all the dues that were left unpaid when you raised your
hand

chorus1:
I am calling u must answer  u should travel a lot faster
Towards a fate that is yearning yonder where the sky is
burning
{Eddie}: to your call I can not answer you're just a peyote
dancer

Verse two :{ Barry}
Now you find me in your waking dream
Take this butcher knife and perform extremes
You can't fear the future you are bound by past
All is an illusion u can walk through glass
Take this pill I offer drive this stolen car
Through this wall of paper u can be a star
{Eddie}: I can be a star from your call I'm learning
I will pay my dues yonder where the sky burning

chorus2 :{ Barry}
I am calling....
Towards a fate....
{Eddie}- To your call I will answer now I'm traveling much
faster

All I ask for is a prayer
Someone break me outta here
Back under my burning sky
Lying on my bed of lies

Chorus :{ nurse Billy}
How does it feel Eddie?
To be under my care
Seems like the shocks are too much for ya

At midnight it's poison at noon it's the knife
Next thing I'm taking is your life
I'll torture you
A few more weeks
Until
My pleasure peaks

Eddie,
Time for bed

For the life you've led

All your strength has been expired

I'm running fast now away from the wall
That hell is over now but another hell calls
I'm wiping my face make room for the tears
Left a trace of realized fears

Chorus:
On the torturing rack I have dreamt of this place
My suffering has peaked at last we're face to face
{Barry}: I've finally caught him I'm molded to his soul
Dreaded visions keep on chasing he will not escape
He will not escape2

verse2 {Barry}:
Remember when we were children you used to play only to win
And as we grew up you just kept that same old grin
For your vanity you'll pay and I am the price
On and on you'll linger reaping I'll be your demise

Chorus: (only Barry)

C-part {Eddie}:
I am made of faith I can escape
Beyond this curtain I know fields await
Entrapped in the eye of a storm
I am a sailor and I'm going home
Death I hear your call
Through the lonely rain
I'm yours you are all
You can end my pain

Chorus: (only Eddie)

-------------------
(instrumental)



15) All Stranded
-------------------
verse1 {Leila}:
A throne in the house on the hill
That is what I call a thrill
If I got money I call it love
I was sent to them like death from above

Lord help me, I'm so fine
And my plan baby, divine
Killing one, so sweet, o well
Peyote poisoned his brother sent him to hell

Chorus {Storyteller}:
Loneliness is written in the stars for all to see.
In midnight air it runs through minds so free.
Walking towards the end where all things go.
Bitter fate courses skin and bone, I know.

verse2 {Leila}:
Money makes the world go 'round, you know
Wherever it goes, lord, I will go
Believe me baby, regrets, I have none
Life is easier when you live by the gun

Chorus

C-part: {Eddie's voice}
All is forsaken now
The world is mistaken now
I see through my shadow years
Behind me, I carry all the tears

And there's no love we're all stranded!
No, there's no love we're all stranded!
