Lyrics By Mike Mantecon
Verse 1
There is no repayin; a soul to be savin from you
When youre in her reach theres nothing I can do
She works her black magic, she works her wicked ways
Any man, anywhere she can make her slave
Chorus
Shes castin her spell, her binding spell
Youre in her trap, and theres no turning back tonight
Shes castin her spell, luring you to her hell
Even love comes at its price
Verse 2
There is no fakin; theres a soul being taken from you
Shes spun her web and theres nothing you can do
You are regretting that you had met her that time
Now that your life, your life is on the line
Chorus
Shes castin her spell, her binding spell
Youre in her trap, and theres no turning back tonight
Shes castin her spell, luring you to her hell
Even love comes at its price
Solo
Chorus
Shes castin her spell, her binding spell
Youre in her trap, and theres no turning back tonight
Shes castin her spell, luring you to her hell
Even love comes at its price
Solo

Make Your Point
03:32

|
Lyrics By Mike Mantecon
Verse 1
Fishing for truth in an ocean of lies
Remembering a time when everything was right
Not sure who I am, not sure what I'll become
After all is said and all has been done
Chorus
Make your point, make it clear, make it true, make it dear
Tell me what in the world does this mean
Make your point, make it real, make it true, so that I feel
That there are two ways, no in-between
Verse 2
So unsure, so insecure, so impure again
Battling the shadows that lie around the bend
Not sure who I am, and who I want to be
Waiting for your word to finally set me free
Chorus
Make your point, make it clear, make it true, make it dear
Tell me what in the world does this mean
Make your point, make it real, make it true, so that I feel
That there are two ways, no in-between

Can't Explain it
03:31

|
Lyrics By Mike Mantecon
Verse 1
Not a pawn of your design
I wish my thoughts could be separate
Separate of your mind
Chorus
I cant explain the way
You paralyze me every day
Im at a loss for words
All opinions overturned
I cant explain the way
You slowly start to force the change
I cant explain it
I just cant explain it
Verse 2
You tell me that you want me
But only as a prisoner
You tell to speak up
As long as it goes unheard
You toss me side to side
You throw me in the trash
Oh what I wouldnt give
To get that piece of me back
Chorus
I cant explain the way
You paralyze me every day
Im at a loss for words
All opinions overturned
I cant explain the way
You slowly start to force the change
I cant explain it
I just cant explain it
Verse 3
You tell me what to do
What to say and what to believe
You tell me who to love
I cant explain the feeling I get
I cant explain the way I feel
I dont know who I am
Only who you want me to be
Im just someone else
Why dont you open your eyes and see?
Chorus
I cant explain the way
You paralyze me every day
Im at a loss for words
All opinions overturned
I cant explain the way
You slowly start to force the change
I cant explain it
I just cant explain it

Old Man Waitin
03:36
|
|||
|
Lyrics by BK Williamson
I used to run down this highway
Midnight till the break of day
A hundred horses under me
Throttle open in the breeze
Ain't no feelin' like the wind
in your hair one hundred ten
Drop it down another gear
Blue lights flashin' in my mirror
Flyin' across the mountain top
Seven percent the grade it drops
If I reach the bottom flats
Devil's surely got my back
Followed all my young man dreams
Places that I'd never seen
Old man waitin' down the road
Best you shed your heavy load
North Carolina, Tennessee
South through Georgia to the sea
Oklahoma, Kansas plains
California's all the same
Followed all my young man dreams
Places that I'd never seen
Old man waitin' down the road
Best you shed your heavy load
Listen son an' you will hear
your pages turnin' year by year
Old man put his hands on you
Ain't no more that you can do

Don't Stop Now

Lyrics By Mike Mantecon
Verse 1
You mold your fate by yourself
It doesnt matter what anyone else
Says or thinks, because in the end
You decide whats real and whats pretend
Chorus
Dont stop now; dont say its the end
Theres a light shining through just around the bend
Dont stop now; dont believe what they say
Because when theres a will theres a way
Verse 2
Its never too late to start over again
Theres always a beginning to an end
Dreams are crushed to be built back stronger
You are broken down to last longer
Chorus
Dont stop now; dont say its the end
Theres a light shining through just around the bend
Dont stop now; dont believe what they say
Because when theres a will theres a way
Verse 3
You decide what is made real
Dont believe that your choice is no big deal
Because in the end its what decides
Whether you stay strong, whether you stay alive
Chorus
Dont stop now; dont say its the end
Theres a light shining through just around the bend
Dont stop now; dont believe what they say
Because when theres a will theres a way

Shillelagh

Lyrics By Mike Mantecon
If they are askin for trouble
They better know that they are dead
If they try to put up a fight
Crack the shillelagh upside their head
Chorus
When they all start acting tough
And you find youve had enough
Grab your shillelagh, it means war
You know just what theyre asking for
Verse 1
Beat em down to size again
So that they can no longer pretend
That they even stand a chance
Yeah, show em all what we meant
Chorus
When they all start acting tough
And you find youve had enough
Grab your shillelagh, it means war
You know just what theyre asking for
Verse 2
Let them know youre not messing around
And that they want to get away in one piece
They better get on their knees and beg
Underneath the shillelaghs reach
Solo
Verse 3
If they are askin for trouble
They better know that they are dead
If they try to put up a fight
Crack the shillelagh upside their head
Chorus
When they all start acting tough
And you find youve had enough
Grab your shillelagh, it means war
You know just what theyre asking for

Lyrics By Mike Mantecon
Verse 1
Im tired of everything and I want to let go
Just say goodbye but you wont let me go
I want to believe, this isnt reality
That this wasnt meant to be
Chorus
This is my revenge, my revenge
This is the end, this is the end
We cant pretend, yeah cant pretend
Its time for this to end
Verse 2
I know one thing for certain, for sure
That we cant go on like this anymore
Ive felt the heartbreak, felt the burn
And now it is time for my return
Chorus
This is my revenge, my revenge
This is the end, this is the end
We cant pretend, yeah cant pretend
Its time for this to end
Bridge
You and me werent meant to be
Its time for everything to fall apart
You and I werent meant to fly
Its time for you to go back to the start
Chorus
This is my revenge, my revenge
This is the end, this is the end
We cant pretend, yeah cant pretend
Its time for this to end

Eyes Of Time

Lyrics Written by Mike Mantecon
Verse 1
A secret that has been forgotten by time
A regret that is always on my mind
Again and again I find myself
Wishing I was someone else
A story that’s yet to be told
A destiny yet to unfold
Watched with envious eyes
Through the eyes of time
Chorus
Who am I?
Why am I here?
Why can’t I just disappear?
It’s the same old story day after day
And I wish it could all just go away
Who am I?
What do you care?
If I weren’t even there
The stream of life flows on
The eyes of time look on
Verse 2
Another year has come and gone
I’m trying to move on
But I can’t make the pieces come together again
Another dream has come and passed
I knew in my heart it could never last
But still the time is ticking away
Chorus
Who am I?
Why am I here?
Why can’t I just disappear?
It’s the same old story day after day
And I wish it could all just go away

Only For Spring
04:22
|
|||
|
Lyrics By Mike Mantecon
Verse 1
Drifting through a dream
Watching the world spinning around
No ones here, or so it seems
And I dont know where I am bound
Drifting through the seas
Watching the ebb and flow of the tides
Im alone, or so it seems
Nobodys here by my side
Chorus
But thats okay
This is my way
Thats alright
As day turns to night
Thats okay
I live this way
Winter will come
Only for spring to have it undone
Verse 2
The arrival of spring
Courses through my being
At winters end
I begin to live again
No mountain, no sea
Is out of my reach
As I wander
Through this dream
Chorus
Thats okay
This is my way
Thats alright
As day turns to night
Thats okay
I live this way
Winter will come
Only for spring to have it undone
Interlude
Chorus
Thats okay
This is my way
Thats alright
As day turns to night
Thats okay
I live this way
Winter will come
Only for spring to have it undone
Outro
Thats okay
The arrival of spring will come
I live this way
To be brought back to life by the sun

With A Clear Mind
04:11
|
|||
|
Lyrics By BK Williamson
I was told I was acting like a fool
Sittin’ on the table where he was playin’ pool (no inhibitions)
I don’t remember pulling out my gun (In an alcoholic haze)
or hittin’ the floor before the deed was done (big mistake)
With damaged pride and a swollen face
I’m lucky I made it out of that place
Chorus:
With a clear mind… I can see all the bad signs
The ones I missed all along this crooked road
With open eyes… I can see through all the lies
The ones I tell myself when I don’t wanna know
The ones that drove my choices so long ago
I woke up feeling like I was half dead
Thinking I should finish the job instead
looking the woman I love in her pretty eyes
I don't know how the drugs messed up my mind
If she hadn’t stepped in while watchin' me bleed
I'd probably need medical help... or a body bag you see
Chorus:
With a clear mind… I can see all the bad signs
The ones I missed all along this crooked road
With open eyes… I can see through all the lies
The ones I tell myself when I don’t wanna know
The ones that drove my choices so long ago
