Wolf Within

  Lyrics: Torok/Erickson  Music: Torok/Erickson

Sultry shadows sway /in the smoky neon haze

Light caresses and wreathes/Light caresses and wreathes

To the rhythm/To the rhythm we breathe

(Pre-Chorus)

Acids of rage feed the roar of the lion

Desire feeds the fire of dreams

Time will slay her beauty we pray

Cast our ashes on the wind

 

Once the minute hand sweeps/Past the twelve again

Wanton tales my friend

Infatuation runs deep

She’s my heroin/She's so beautiful

(Repeat Pre Chorus)

(Chorus)

Betrayal.....

I’m the song of sin

I’m the wolf within

Love lust I’m betrayal

I'm betrayal....

Desire feeds the flame/Feeds the flame

Of my dreams/Of my dreams

Cast our ashes out/Cast our ashes out

On the wind/On the wind

(Pre chorus)

(Chorus)  

Full Moon

Lyrics: Erickson  Music: Torok/Erickson

 

Where do I go from here?

Another page has turned

The chapter has come to an end

I feel the anxiety all my fears rush in

All my fears rush in

 

Spiritual side is getting stronger

Not in a physical way

The power I wield

I no longer need

And time it slowly drifts away

(Bridge)

The future is bright the ride is mellow

Not as many highs or lows

All I see is a new horizon

Give me a path and let go

(Chorus)

I still feel my youth it’s been tamed

I try to take it all in stride

I still feel my youth its not closed out

Showing my age and I know why

One more ride

(Refrain)

Full Moon again/Howling wolf the heart of young men

(Repeat call and response)

 

Where do I go from here?

All the faces changed

This chapter keeps getting longer

As my past just seems to slip away

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

 

1000 Reasons

Lyrics:Erickson  Music: Erickson/Torok

 

Change of heart has come over me again

I’m looking back I see where I’ve been

Never want to know never want to see that again

Tell me what to do tell me what is in store and when

 

Thinking about the time wasted time gone by

Looking back I never know why

Never let you see never what is inside of me

Tell me what you need show me how to set myself free

(Chorus)

I never felt this way before

You bring so much to me all my doubts you set them free

I never felt this way before

Walls are coming down 1000 reasons on the ground

(Bridge)

You seem to question whether my feelings are true

Its in my eyes can’t you feel it? It’s inside of you

 

Peaceful feeling comes over me again

I’m looking back I can see where it began

Never off my mind never let these feelings subside

Tell you it’s the truth show you all I need is you

(Chorus)

 

Addiction of Fools

Lyrics: Torok  Music: Erickson

  Tongue of flame lick at the ember dancing wisps of smoke

Twists and curls and try to remember whispering breathes of hope

Loneliness turns the whiskey burn into one last thing to lose

Tis truly, truly cruel that love is the Addiction of Fools

Addiction of Fools

 

  Beast called winds winter howl across the asphalt plain

I toss my hair back and close my eyes and I can hear it call your name

Could I turn my heart to ambrosia to be touched by you again?

Would it melt the ice enough to suffice?

The silence end

The silence end

 

Sweet worldly lady where have you gone?

Why did you leave me here drowning in dawn?

St. Valentine eve all I can do is hold a rose hold back my tears

You hold my soul again

You hold my soul again

  Why do I always dream of you/I remember you

Why do I always dream of you/I dream of you

 

Infamy

Lyrics: Erickson  Music: Torok

Fear is all you know

Pray to Gods no more

Hate is all you have

Why the blood of man

  (Bridge)

Burn for sins never seen that before

Lies and deceit in your heart forever more

(Chorus)

Burn while the night is young

Learn along the way

All that’s come and gone

Live to see another day

 

All that you should see

Signs of what should be

Blind the path you chose

Lord only knows

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

(Refrain)

Why legend holds the code

Time spoken words forever more

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

 

Do U Harm

Lyrics: Erickson/Valle/Emmer  Music:Erickson/Torok

  Well I hate my life

I feel it everyday

I’ve been down so long

I need a hand, a hand to get up

(Bridge)

I can tell you why, if you want to know

I can tell you why,

If you promise me once you will never tell another soul

 

Well I hate my life

I’m always crying for more

 The harder I try the more I loath

(Repeat Bridge)

But the more I try the less I think you truly know

(Chorus)

Ya better step back feeling like I might explode

Well I’m short, your tall your smart

You seem to think you know it all

You’re good so bad all the while

Stealing, cheat and lie its sad

I’m liked but your loved

Can’t see through the clouds you seem to fly above

It’s all good for one day

I’ll be gone free to live another day

(Refrain)

What can you say never want it back give it back another day

Give it back another day

Its all that I know hard to tell what is right from wrong I will do you harm

I’ll do you harm

 

Well I hate my life

But I hate yours more

I moving on with mine

So you better watch out I’m knocking on your back door

(Bridge)

But the more I try the less I think you truly know

(Chorus)

 

Y

Lyrics: Erickson  Music:Torok/Erickson

  Left for dead I’m praying

Break in the clouds now its clear

Fear of age makes me weary

Take a picture mark the time and year

Put up a front to protect me

Lines cut deep you can see

 

Looking good in the mirror

Lights turned low to hide my years

Need to break all these feelings

Need for youth it tires me

Can’t understand why I take it

The years begin to attack

(Chorus)

Look what the years have done

Show all the damage done

Fear of the days gone by

Just keep asking why

 

I finally start to accept it

Cloths they wear just don’t suit me

Feel ok with my face now

Rugged look has become me

Slow road is all that I ask for

Lord I’m on my way

(Chorus)

 

Breathing

Lyrics: Lindsey  Music: Torok/Erickson

  With those high heels and that red dress turn everybody’s head

Give me one night with you and I will tear them all to shreds

 

Have you heard that girl talk I’m that kind of man

Pull down your defenses and I will show what I am

(Bridge)

You, you need danger excitement is what you lack

Now I’ve got you, you never dreamed of that

You never dreamed of

You never dreamed of that

 

Strip the sheets off the bed me all over your skin

Work my way between your legs now you’ve let me in

 

Daylight you can’t run dark of the night you will know

Look up to the corner I’ll be breathing in the heat

(Repeat Bridge)

Roll you down roll you over

Till it fades into black/till it fades into black

Last thing you will remember

Me breathing down your back

 

The Burden

 Lyrics: Erickson  Music: Torok/Erickson

Keep asking me what’s on my mind

You seem to think I have something to hide

(Bridge)

Lines cut so deep it’s my face in the mirror

Last gasp for air the end getting nearer

 

Light at the end seems so far away

Stomach tied up in knots don’t know who I can blame

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

The Burden buried deep from the start

Keep fighting I’m, I’m falling apart

Burns scaring me more than I know

Lines on my face reminding me so

(Refrain)

I’ve got a feeling

Never be the same again

Weathered look frayed from the sun and all that came and went

 

Days passing by as weeks turn to years

 Music in my head marks the time that I’m here

(Bridge)

2x(Chorus)

 

Forsaken

Lyrics: Erickson Music:  Torok/Erickson

  Hard to the core yes I’m praying

Breaking bones are all you hear

Comes from the left with a fury

Make your move for the time is near

Put up a wall to protect you

Eyes wide open to see

Pain grabs hold hard to break free

Get used to the bite, get used to the bite for it's real

 

Eyes look so dark in the mirror

Cold to the touch how I feel

The need to break all this karma

Scared as hell it’s just the way I feel

I can’t understand why I take it

This thorn so deep in my back

I push to keep myself going

I can’t lay down I need to attack

(Chorus) 

Give me a light/Give me a light

A way to see/A way to see

Give me the right for I bleed

Give me the power

You Forsaken Me

(Bridge)

Shackled to the floor of this wasteland, the light at the end is so far away

The heat from the fire still burning, each breathe so hard to take

The sun came up this morning, the sky is clear no sign of rain

Can you feel my heart beating stronger?

Can you tell the days are longer?

One more chance to take it away

 

Work so hard just to make it

Buried alive so it seems

Running up hill in your daydream

The nightmare that seems so real

A swing was all that I asked for

A chance to go my own way

The demon inside keeps it even

He keeps taking my life away
