A Few Faded Shadows

A FEW FADED SHADOWS - Written by Carroll Bryant


A few faded shadows 
Stare at me in the dark
A few faded shadows
Eats at my broken heart
A few faded shadows
And myself, must we part?

It's just me ... and a few faded shadows

A few faded shadows
They take my dreams away
A few faded shadows
In the suns light do they lay
A few faded shadows
Dancing upon my grave

It's just me ... and a few faded shadows

A few faded shadows
A heart without love
A few faded shadows
Reaching down for me from above
A few faded shadows
A mind altering drug

It's just me ... and a few faded shadows

The Party Zone

THE PARTY ZONE - Written by Carroll Bryant


The young crowd talks loud
This is their world so they got a reason to
And when you're young you have fun
Love is in season and everybody yearns to breed you

You're never alone 
And you don't wanna go home
You're never alone
Life is the party zone
You're never alone
And you don't wanna go home
You're never alone
Life is the party zone

When the evening starts there's broken hearts
Lovers gonna fight long into the midnight
It's one of those times when the beer is there
You grab your share and before you know it love is in the air

You're never alone 
And you don't wanna go home
You're never alone
Life is the party zone
You're never alone
And you don't wanna go home
You're never alone
Life is the party zone

This is party land
Everybody gets a helping hand
Cranking up the jams
And we understand
You can't question this
This is the party land

Waking up is a bigger fuss
You notice total strangers and somebody got busted
And you shake your head and wish that you were dead
But you gather everyone and kick them all out instead

You're never alone 
And you don't wanna go home
You're never alone
Life is the party zone
You're never alone
And you don't wanna go home
You're never alone
Life is the party zone

Never Too Old To Be Young

NEVER TOO OLD TO BE YOUNG - Written by Carroll Bryant 


You're never too old to be young
You're never too old to have fun
Look inside your heart
This life is the only one
You're never too old to be young

You're never too short to be tall
You're never too big to be small
Look at it through my eyes
And then you'll realize
You're never too short at all

Things can appear to be obsolete 
It's not what you hear but what you believe 
And you're never too dumb to be smart
It's all about what's in your heart
You can take it or leave it or tear it apart
But you're never too dumb to be smart

Things can be said and this is the truth
And until you are dead you are still living proof
That you're never too old to be young
You're never too old to have fun
Look inside your heart
This life is the only one
You're never too old to be young

Things can appear to be obsolete 
It's not what you hear but what you believe 
Things can be said and this is the truth
And until you are dead you are still living proof

You're never too old to be young
You're never too old to have fun
Look inside your heart
This life is the only one
You're never too old to be young

Feeling Better (Feeling Good)

FEELING BETTER (FEELING GOOD) - Written by Carroll Bryant


It's Sunday morning and I'm looking out of an open door
I don't know where that woman's coming from anymore
The show that I had played the night before
Has left me feeling hung over and mighty poor

I jumped out of bed and into my jeans
I went down to the liquor store to get me some Jim Beam
I'm thinking that my woman and I just might be through
It wouldn't surprise me if she was drinking too
Feeling better now
Feeling good
Feeling better now than before

Long legged blonde is playing my song
Her big blue eyes really turn me on
It feels like they are penetrating my soul
It takes her loving to make me feel whole
Feeling better now
Feeling good
Feeling better now than before
Feeling better now
Feeling good
Feeling better now than before

Why do I always seem to get this way?
Who am I to say that anything is great?
Singing my song of love to her is a big mistake
Could be the reason why my heart's about to break

Living in this give and take 

It's Sunday morning and I'm looking out of an open door
I don't know where that woman's coming from anymore
I'll drink some whiskey to get her off of my mind
In a little while you know, I'll be feeling fine
Feeling better now
Feeling good
Feeling better now than before
Feeling better now
Feeling good
Feeling better now than before

The Dead Scroll

THE DEAD SCROLL - Written by Carroll Bryant


Blade of the dagger penetrates your flesh
Blood dripping anxiously on my tongue
This is the time of agony 
You wail in great pain
Your fear masturbates me to orgasm

How does it feel to be chosen?

Like Christ, you are a sacrifice 
Consume the sex of the devil
Feel the ultimate power
Your heart is stone
Your soul lies naked
This is the night of a purity

You cry in your fear
Your tears illustrate my madness
How does it feel to be chosen?
Like Christ, you are a bastard

This is the life that embodies the soul
A dark tomb waits for you
Blood stains on an ancient scroll
It reads, 'I am a madman'

I am not possessed by Abaddon 
The Beast is who I am
How does it feel to be chosen?
Feast on the flesh of his offerings

How does it feel to be chosen?
Like Christ, you are delivered
Blood drips on the ancient scroll
It reads, 'I am a madman'

Nothing Is Real

NOTHING IS REAL - Written by Carroll Bryant


You got to stand there like you're waiting for your star to burn out
Talking to yourself or talking to somebody's ghost
You listen to the things they say and think they know what you're all about 
The power that you own is what you get from them the most
And nothing is real
And nothing can feel
And nothing is nothing 
And nothing is nothing at all

Marmalade emotions and mental isolation is abound 
Looking like forever and you're fighting somebody's war
You look around and fall behind but you can never hear a sound
You don't even know what the hell it is that you're looking for
And nothing is real
And nothing can feel
And nothing is nothing
And nothing is nothing at all

Knock, knock
Tell me who is that?
Nobody knows
Nobody cares
Knock, knock
Tell me some facts
Your body glows
Your love light shows

You got to stand there like you're waiting for your star to burn out
Talking to yourself or talking to somebody's ghost
You listen to the things they say and think they know what you're all about 
The power that you own is what you get from them the most
And nothing is real
And nothing can feel
And nothing is nothing 
And nothing is nothing at all

And nothing is real
And nothing can feel
And nothing is nothing 
And nothing is nothing at all

I Want To Rock And Roll (With You)

I WANT TO ROCK AND ROLL (WITH YOU) - Written by Carroll Bryant


I was hitching on some back roads
On a night I won't forget
When along came a blonde haired beauty
In a sharp, slick black Corvette 
She asked 
Hey, honey, are you looking for a ride?
If you are and you like to party
Baby, hop inside

So I slid on into the passenger seat
Then I shut the door
She put the pedal to metal yeah
All the way to the floor
She started singing
I want to rock and roll
Party hearty baby all night long
I want to rock and roll 
With you

We were driving through those back woods
Heading straight towards town
When I heard a familiar noise
It was a siren sound
I said to her
Hey baby, we're being chased by the cops
She said
I don't really give a damn
I ain't gonna stop
Keep moving
I want to rock and roll
Party hearty baby all night long
I want to rock and roll
With you

It was a hell of a chase
We soon ditched the cops in a city race
We headed right back to the countryside 
She just smiled at me and asked
Are you enjoying the ride?

We were flying through those back roads
Like we were heading for hell
Until she pulled over to the side
I got a shot of tail
Then she asked me to get out
My mind was so confused
I could not even believe it
I had just been used
And she was singing
I want to rock and roll
Party hearty baby all night long
I want to rock and roll
With you

  I want to rock and roll
Party hearty baby all night long
I want to rock and roll

With you

Of A Sparrow

OF A SPARROW - Written by Carroll Bryant


She said she gave her love away a long, long time ago
It's riding on the wings of a sparrow 

She talks like she never met the past and her future she can't let go
It's riding on the wings of a sparrow

She spends her days walking through a field 
Hiding all of her lost memories
Chasing dead butterflies and black rainbows
Among her own company 

Another day is done
Another day is gone
It wasn't so long ago 
When her time was riding
On the wings of a sparrow

And to another lonely night 
Of lasting misery
Singing sad songs in the shadow of the dawn
Among her own company

(And losing her mind)

She said her love would never stay and that's the only thing she knows
It's riding on the wings of a sparrow

She said she gave her love away, and it's the only pain that grows
It's riding on the wings of a sparrow

"Listen to the movement of the creek. I will be the wind. Reach for me tonight my love, and I will be again. Listen to the stillness of the pale moonlight. I will be the end. Reach for me tonight my love, and I will be again." 

She said she gave her love away a long, long time ago
It's riding on the wings of a sparrow

It doesn't matter where she goes
She's riding on the wings ... of a sparrow

Shroud Of Turin

SHROUD OF TURIN - Written by Carroll Bryant


I will destroy the heart of your belief
My given power will reign supreme 
The Jesus image is a fake
Ancient blood means nothing

Burn the shroud of Turin 
Witness the resurrection of Satan

Lucifer is the prince of darkness
The only Lord you need to fear
Pleasures remain the power
Ancient blood means nothing

Burn the shroud of Turin 
Rejoice the crucifixion of Agnes 

Are you prepared to meet your fate?
It will happen and soon you will suffer
When the thorns pierce your flesh
You will come to know Thor and thunder

Ancient blood means nothing

Burn the shroud of Turin 
Witness the jubilation of Satan

Burn the shroud of Turin 
Witness the death of God

Dark Alleys

DARK ALLEYS - Written by Carroll Bryant


You traveled down every road in your life
Never knowing what to expect 
It's those dark alleys you always passed by
Now you can no longer neglect

Find your dreams and pave your way
Go out and make something happen
Don't hesitate
You can no longer wait
It's time for you to win 

Dark alleys
Something is hiding in the shadows
Dark alleys
What it is, you'll never know
Unless you go all the way
Into dark alleys 

Go ahead and take your own dare
This is your life so live it your own way
Who would even thought that you would even care?
It's a world where even bottom feeders have something to say

You always wanted to take a chance somewhere 
Down the line
But those dark alleys set up shop
Inside of your mind
You got no more reason of being scared 

Dark alleys
Something is hiding in the shadows
Dark alleys
What it is, you'll never know
Unless you go all the way
Into dark alleys 

It's obvious you know what you like
You discovered what you are all about
You found the secret to success 
Your head's a mess
Afraid that if you choose
You will lose
Expecting everyone else to be like you

You traveled down every road in your life
Never knowing what to expect 
It's those dark alleys you always passed by
Now you can no longer neglect

Dark alleys
Something is hiding in the shadows
Dark alleys
What it is, you'll never know
Unless you go all the way
Into dark alleys

You know you want to take up your own dare

Sounds Of The Night

SOUNDS OF THE NIGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant


The purity of your life coincides with the look in your 
Eyes
Once upon a time I was a sinner but now I am just like you
Alive
The honesty of your touch moves me so very much like a winner or at least that I 
Try
Now I am just like you and feeling better if not feeling all
Right

Standing in the middle of the room that's spinning, I can sense a cooler 
Breeze
Watching as my shadow takes it upon itself to get mad and then up and
Leave
I stare off into the direction of where I think I could be the one and
Feel
There's no absolution of lost love, and absolutely nothing is for sale or for
Real

There's only mysteries
There's only insecurities 
There's only the sounds of the night

The sincerity of your words are written where they can't be revealed or even
Heard
I am one who listens to the sounds of the night just like another mocking
Bird
I live without my religions and consolation comes as some sort of a
Surprise
My limits spark a contest where you can watch when closing hour soon
Arrives

There's only mysteries
There's only insecurities 
There's only the sounds of the night

This is what it all comes down to
Looking eye to eye
There's just me and you
What is there even left for us to do?
There's nothing left to prove
There's just me and baby, there's just you

The purity of your life coincides with the look in your 
Eyes
Once upon a time I was a sinner but now I am just like you
Alive
The honesty of your touch moves me so very much like a winner or at least that I 
Try
Now I am just like you and feeling better if not feeling all
Right

There's only mysteries
There's only insecurities 
There's only the sounds of the night

There's only mysteries
There's only insecurities 
There's only the sounds of the night

Attack (Love Is Attacking Me)

ATTACK (LOVE IS ATTACKING ME) - Written by Carroll Bryant 


I wasn't looking anywhere 
I wasn't in love and I didn't care
When I saw you I was taken aback 
My mind said retreat but my heart said attack

Attack!
Love is willing to be
Attack!
Love is standing there
Love is free
Stop acting silly 
This is not a dream
I better attack because love is attacking me

I was a hopeless S.O.B
Flirting with disaster when it came to you and me
Emotions are what promotes love
They say sometimes though, feelings are not enough

Attack!
Love is willing to be
Attack!
Love is standing there
Love is free
Stop acting silly 
This is not a dream
I better attack because love is attacking me

My train of thought is jumping the track
I'll give your love a chance but don't expect me to give it back
My train of thought is all I got
I'll give your love a chance
Only because you are so hot

I let my defenses down
Only for a moment and I'm sorry now
I don't know all of what you did
But something is telling me that this is really it

Attack!
Love is willing to be
Attack!
Love is standing there
Love is free
Stop acting silly 
This is not a dream
I better attack because love is attacking me

Stop acting silly
This is not a dream
I better attack because your love is attacking me

Diabolical

DIABOLICAL - Written by Carroll Bryant 


Like the devil, I do my dirty work
Taking pride to inflict the pain
I stop at nothing to make it hurt
A total madman gone insane 
I'm diabolical
I'm out of control
Feel the heat from inside of my madness
Satan's fire is burning in my soul

I play with demons who come from holy hell
We rape the weak ones, and drink their blood
Death is a tasty stench that you can smell
After we murder them with evil love
I'm diabolical 
You need to know
Taste the hatred that pours from out of my madness
Satan's fire is burning in my soul

Lay before the liar
Spread your legs for the arrival of the tongue
Kneel before desire
Take your righteous place inside the eternal dark kingdom

Chant the words and you shall become
One of his many 
One of his legion
Chant the words and you shall receive 
A little bit of his power

Like the devil, I do my dirty work
Taking pride to inflict the pain
I stop at nothing to make it hurt
A total madman gone insane 
I'm diabolical
I'm out of control
Feel the heat from inside of my madness
Satan's fire is burning in my soul

I'm diabolical

Wither Away

WITHER AWAY - Written by Carroll Bryant


I may be afraid of this world that I made
But I'll never be afraid of love

You might speculate
And my thoughts may be too late
But you'll never be able to escape my love
(For you)

The path is there for all to take
And in my heart I know it will lead me straight
And if by chance you turn your back on me
Then my knowledge will surely bleed
And I to cry
And I to die
And Spring shall be left to dry up
And wither away

The sun will keep you warm
The climate will bring you close to me
The night will separate the past from the future's history
Then tomorrow becomes cold
And dreams become lonely 
The wind will blow away the memories
The snow will cover up the leafs 
The rain washes it away
It washes it all away
Making the future ours to play in

 And if by chance you turn your back on me
Then my knowledge will surely bleed
And I to cry
And I to die
And Spring shall be left to dry up
And wither away

But if by chance you open up your arms to me
My lost hope shall live forever in secrecy 
Until it to be to turn into mold
And wither away

Everything 
Eventually
Haphazardly 
Fades into nothing
And to wither away 
Even dreams

Heartbreak (Lose Your Head)

HEARTBREAK (LOSE YOUR HEAD) - Written by Carroll Bryant


So many times you lose your head
After the pain and all of the things that were said
You search for the answers but they're so hard to find
Rest assured that you will lose your heart before you lose your mind

Well, it's a matter of fact
You'll have a heart-attack
And you will never come back to be the person that you are
After the big heartbreak 
Someone will give to you what you don't want to take
And then you'll walk away with nothing else to say
You're living in a heartbreak
Just another heartbreak

All through the night and all through the day
Your thoughts will carry you places 
Knocking your senses away
You will experience feelings you never knew you had
No doubt about it
You will start breaking the bad

Well, it's a matter of pride
When you keep the hurt inside
No matter how hard you try
You're gonna suffer the big heartbreak
Someone will give to you what you do not want to forsake
And then you'll walk away with nothing else to say
You're living in a heartbreak
Just another heartbreak

It's just another road that's the same that you always go down
Keep looking around for it
It's just another taste that's sour as hell
A familiar smell
Keep looking around for it
One of these days you know you're gonna find it

Well, it's a matter of fact
You'll have a heart-attack
And you will never come back to be the person that you are
After the big heartbreak 
Someone will give to you what you don't want to take
And then you'll walk away with nothing else to say
You're living in a heartbreak
Just another heartbreak

Once And Again

ONCE AND AGAIN - Written by Carroll Bryant


It feels like you have wasted so much time
Left so much behind
Every morning and every night
The same kind of girl
The same old guy
The world keeps turning

You hear your heartbeat pound out loud
You can feel it ripping right through your doubt
Living on the same old cloud
You don't know why
Falling from out of the sky
The fire keeps on burning 

Will you ever meet the one who will take you away
To another place
Where you hope your heart will stay
With just one lonely face

Once and again is just not enough
Broken hearts and stuff and hearts that fall in love
You surrender to another isolated touch
You play the game ... but you never win 
It's always a tie in the end
It's always once and again

Once and again you feel the rush
Lonely souls getting stuffed with some lies
You want to fall in love so much you could die
You're feeling it in the air
You know that something is lingering there
You can feel it and you know this and then
You fall for her hand
Once and again

The night can take forever sometimes
Just to make it through to the dawn
Empty glasses of wine sitting on the table
She is long gone
A restless glance
A breathless sigh
The soul keeps on learning as you fight back the time

A lovers voice echos in your mind

It hits you hard that you are all by yourself
The morning dances with somebody else
Questions not asked and there are no answers
Everything is left unsaid 
And the heart keeps yearning

Will you ever get the chance to experience one more good romance?
The second time around might be more vain
Than pain

Once and again is just not enough
Broken hearts and stuff and hearts that fall in love
You surrender to another isolated touch
You play the game ... but you never win 
It's always a tie in the end
It's always once and again

Once and again you feel the rush
Lonely souls getting stuffed with some lies
You want to fall in love so much you could die
You're feeling it in the air
You know that something is lingering there
You can feel it and you know this and then
You fall for her hand
Once and again

Will you ever meet the one who will take you away
To another place
Where you hope your heart will stay
With just one lonely face

Lonely face

It hits you hard that you are all by yourself
The morning dances with somebody else
Questions not asked and there are no answers
Everything is left unsaid 
And the heart keeps yearning

The world keeps turning

Once and again and then you go back to bed
A lovers voice echos in your mind

Feast Of Blood

FEAST OF BLOOD - Written by Carroll Bryant


This is the time to kill the saints
Take your pleasure on the pain
Insert the dagger into the heart

Feast of life
Feast of love
Feast of hate
Feast of blood

You can't escape
There is no door
Bound in chains in this holy war
Kill the priest and set his spirit free

Feast of life
Feast of love
Feast of hate
Feast of blood

Don't be afraid of the exorcism 
His rotted corpse is illuminating 
And to the angels we masturbate 
To hell with this world

Feast of life
Feast of love
Feast of hate
Feast of blood

This is the time to make a sacrifice 
Be prepared to take a life
In the name of your fallen king
To hell with you too

Feast of life
Feast of love
Feast of hate
Feast of blood

Right Before My Eyes

RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES - Written by Carroll Bryant


Could this be real?
This feeling that I feel?
Is my whole world changing right before my eyes?

When I look at you
Can you feel it too?
Is love slowly progressing as we dance inside the night?

It's magic
Some kind of magic 
I know it is
It has to be 
It's magic
Some kind of magical dream
It has to be

I need your love
I need your love light shinning on me
I need your love
I drastically need your touch
You got a hold on me so much
I need your love

Did I fall into a dream?
Are you some kind of beauty queen?
Is my whole world changing right before my eyes?

When I look at you
Can you feel it too?
Is love slowly progressing as we dance inside the night?

It's crazy
I'm talking really crazy
I know it is
You know we are
It's crazy
You're some kind of super girl
The power is in your heart

I never thought this could ever happen
Who could have thought it would?
Love is just a river of emotions
Being with you feels so good

Could this be real?
 This feeling that I feel?
Is my whole world changing right before my eyes?

When I look at you
Can you feel it too?
Is love slowly progressing as we dance inside the night?

It's such a magical thing
A magical dream 
I'm sailing on the sea
And you got such a hold on me
I can't break free

I can't believe
This is happening to me
Right before my eyes

As we dance inside the night

Little Butterfly

LITTLE BUTTERFLY - Written by Carroll Bryant


Hey there little butterfly
Flying way up in the sky
Why did you go and throw your love away?

Summertime has just begun
You are not the only one
To cry a tear of loneliness or to feel this way

Your wings are so beautiful
But you can't turn your pretty head to see
I suppose you'll just have to take my word

You think that it would be better
If you could fly a little higher
Put those thoughts away my love for you are not a bird

You have so many colors
They shine from deep within your soul
Your heart is filled with love to give
And your smile is like an emotional rainbow

You are free to fly
Free to be mine if you like
Little butterfly

Hey there little butterfly
Flying way up in the sky
Why did you go and throw your love away?

Summertime has just begun
You are not the only one
To cry a tear of loneliness or to feel this way

Your wings are just so beautiful to me
It's just too bad that you can't turn your head to see
You're always flying off to some kind of destiny
Or fantasy
Only time will lead you to where you should be
Maybe it's with me
We're gonna have to wait and see
Believe

Hey there little butterfly
Flying way up in the sky
Why did you go and throw your love away?

Summertime has just begun
You are not the only one
To cry a tear of loneliness or to feel this way

You have so much to offer
Like the glow inside your soul
You carry so much love around
And your smile is like an emotional rainbow

You are free to fly
Free to be mine if you like
Little butterfly
Flying way up high
Why did you go and throw your love away?

I Didn't Mean To Make Your Blue Eyes Cry

I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOUR BLUE EYES CRY 
- Written by Carroll Bryant



Sitting in a barroom 
Thinking about everything that is wrong
Girl
What can I do to make it up to you?

All of my lies
I know they hurt you deep inside
Girl
What can I do to make it up to you?

I just don't know what's gotten into me
I don't know what to say 
I don't know what to think
I can't believe I hurt you like I did and I can see
Why you didn't want to stay
And now I'm sitting here with my memories and a drink

I didn't mean to make your blue eyes cry
What I wouldn't give for just one more try
The last lie I told you was my last lie
Oh, darling
I didn't mean to make your blue eyes cry

I'm the dumbest man
Hurting you was the dumbest thing I have ever done
Girl
What can I do to make it up to you?

These lonely nights
Are fading away and I am fading too
Girl
What can I do to make it up to you?

I just can't see myself chasing dreams
Of yesterday
I've put you through hell and back
Now I'm in hell and that's a fact
Without your sweetest love
I don't know who I am

 I didn't mean to make your blue eyes cry
What I wouldn't give for just one more try
The last lie I told you was my last lie
Oh, darling
I didn't mean to make your blue eyes cry

I just don't know what's gotten into me
I don't know what to say 
I don't know what to think
I can't believe I hurt you like I did and I can see
Why you didn't want to stay
And now I'm sitting here with my memories and a drink

 I didn't mean to make your blue eyes cry
What I wouldn't give for just one more try
The last lie I told you was my last lie
Oh, darling
I didn't mean to make your blue eyes cry
