Moonshadow Castle Curse
Sitting here in this red velvet room
overlooking the sea....candlelight
strikes the piano keys and like a tiger
on the run here I go again moving in
for the kill casting another magic spell
on you by force of will...can't you feel
the magic just across the moat and the
many crimson hills...well and can't you
see the towers turning and burning as
the night sky turns blue...I try not to
take it to heart where it concerns you
but I still do... only you can quiet the
storm in my heart baby and end the curse,
the curse...

I Will Be Happy (No Matter What)
Well sometimes I feel like running away
I tell myself there's not much keeping me
Here anyhow but then I hear a voice saying
I love you baby so want you stay, please
Stay...well and I always do but this time
You’ve got some major suckin' up to do
Things have changed 'cuz I have changed
Almost like overnight somehow I'm no
Longer the fool you took for granted
Yesterday now and so I don't care if you
Approve of my new lifestyle now or not
You better accept me for me or you can
Bite me it's the only choice you got 'cuz
Let me tell...

I Am Touched
Oh yes and I AM TOUCHED by your smile, by your laughter and your charm, spending time with you is like spending time in paradise oh yes 'cuz baby I AM TOUCHED by the way you touch my face and kiss me in an explosive way oh and when I look into your eyes I realize I am loved and dear God I AM TOUCHED, I AM TOUCHED...
It's in the way you say I am the love of your life, the way you hold me tight, the way we just sit up and talk all night, it’s in the way you say you rather die than loose me and again the way you hold me tight...
Oh baby 'cuz spending time with you is like spending time...

Give Me Back My Heart
If you can't give me your full attention
Then I don't want you in my life at all
I don't want to hear any more of your
Lies and no I do not want to see you
Tonight or answer your call just Give Me
Back My Heart and let me make a brand
New start...go on now and find someone
Else who doesn't care if you tear them
Down and will not accept them for who
They are for I will not play your game
And they'll be no more tears in the dark
'Cuz thus far you've proven you can not
Keep your promises to me so go on, just
Go on and find...

Deeply Grateful
Well if I were to count my blessings
They would outnumber the grains of
Sand on the shore but I'm only human
And just like everybody I often take
Them for granted still that's no excuse
So please forgive me Lord...for in my heart
I am Deeply Grateful, I am grateful for
Today that wasn't promised me, for the
Wisdom I've learned from all the mistakes
I've made and for the miracles you've
Granted me and sent my way...I only want
To be the man you want me to be so
Please forgive me when I fall short of your
Glory for I know if I...

Dear God
Dear God I humble myself unto thee
on bended knees tonight by candlelight
well some say you only stride with us
for so long and I know I can be a better
man than I am but please don't forsake
me just yet as I try my level best to right
my wrongs oh Dear God don't ever let
the Devil pluck me out of your hands for
I am weak Lord but you are strong and
I've heard 'em say if you seek me with all
your heart you will find me whether in
the good or bad times well Dear God I
seek you with all this heart of mine…wash
me clean of my sins...

Cross My Heart
Oh my love I know you know how
I feel about you but I just wanted
to tell you one more time again...
I CROSS MY HEART and hope to die
never will I ever stop loving you
never will I ever tell you lies I will be
your friend and the lover you never
had or at the very least I will I swear
to try, I will be everything you need me
to be and the hand that wipes away
the tears you cry, I will be the star
you have wished upon a thousand
times or the rainbow that lights up
your cloudy skies, I will be yours
forever, forever your one...

Crazy in Love
Sometimes two people just fall in love
with each other like two moths drawn
to a flame, I look into your eyes and it’s
then I know I have found my soul mate
as right as rain, holding you, holding me
you say I didn't know I was lost until
you found me, could this be what they
call destiny, I don't know but Im crazy
bout you baby, crazy, crazy for you
baby…
It's just a shame we're both married
and have to sneak around like we do
but they'll both be served their divorce
papers in a week or so and then they’ll
know bout me and...

Brave Heart
Somewhere in a cottage down by the lake lands hidden
out of sight...superstition is like a religion no one
understands... well and in the darkness of the night
Lightning strikes the water parting the rain as I sit
here by Candlelight looking through a wooden window
pane...I hear your knock on my door but like the
black widow spider that guards it's nest of treasures
you should know better now Some spells are forever
and some paths are not to be tread on, never...well and
now this is something not even I can undo even in all
my magic I cannot...

Abydos (Opening Of the Tomb)
Well I can see the golden Falcon of Edfu
circling Abydos tonight in the shadow of
a blue moon, I can feel the cool, cool desert
winds walking the three star path of the
Jackal back to Giza again pulling my cape
up around me tight I enter the ancient and
dark catacombs down, down to your never
opened tomb and I recite these words from
the Book Of The Dead...the cavern is opened
for you in the abyss and in the sunshine
you are released; the cavern is opened for Shu
and if he comes out may you come out...rise now
and take your seat in...

Overpowering
Oh and after all this time I've known you
it never did cross my mind that you could be
the one for me, was it Jupiter or was it Venus
that has opened the door to love now after
all this time whoa and it's OVERPOWERING
so intense and OVERPOWERING...
Oh and in the days to come I know desire
is gonna burn, burn hotter than the summer sun
fire to fire, lover to lover and that's a force
to reckon with kinda like that of Niagara Falls
the San Andres and Mount Saint Helens
all put together oh so intense and oh so
very OVERPOWERING... ...
