Not every song that
will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian”
in the eyes of this world. For some will
be anguished cries from the pit of despair while others will be quite obviously
fervent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless,
be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another)
and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.
Lucky Man
Emerson, Lake and
Palmer
He had shite horses
And ladies by the
score
All dressed in
satin
And waiting by the
door
Ooooh
What a lucky man
He was
Ooooh
What a lucky man
He was
White lace and
feathers
They made up his
bed
A gold covered
mattress
On which he was
laid
Ooooh
What a lucky man
He was
Ooooh
What a lucky man
He was
He went to fight
wars
For his country and
his king
Of his honor and
his glory
The people would
sing
Ooooh
What a lucky man
He was
Ooooh
What a lucky man
He was
A bullet had found
him
His blood ran as he
cried
No money could save
him
So he laid down and
he died
Ooooh
What a lucky man
He was
Ooooh
What a lucky man
He was
Karn Evil 9
Emerson, Lake and
Palmer
Cold and misty
morning
I heard a warning
Borne in the air
About an age of
power
No one had an hour
To spare
Where the seeds
have withered
Silent children
shivered
In the cold
Now their faces
captured
In the lenses of
the jackals
For gold
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there
Suffering in
silence
They've all been
betrayed
They hurt them
And they beat them
In a terrible way
Praying for
survival
At the end of the
day
There is no
compassion
For those who stay
Yeah
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there
There must be
someone
Who can set them
free
To take their
sorrow
From this odyssey
To help the
helpless
And the refugee
To protect what's
left
Of humanity
Can't you see
Can't you see
Can't you see
Yeah
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there
To heal their
sorrow
To beg and borrow
Fight tomorrow
Step inside
Hello

amazing show

Supersonic
fighting cocks.
Leave your hammers

Come inside
Roll up
Roll up
Roll up

Left behind the
bars
Rows of bishop's
heads in jars
And a bomb inside a
car
Spectacular
Spectacular
If you follow me
There's a
speciality
Some tears for you
to see
Misery
Misery
Roll up
Roll up
Roll up
See the show
Next upon the bill
In our House of
Vaudeville
We've a stripper in
a till
What a thrill
What a thrill
And not content
with that
With our hands
behind our backs,
We pull Jesus from
a hat
Get into that
Get into that
Roll up
Roll up
Roll up
See the show
Welcome back my
friends
To the show that
never ends
We're so glad you
could attend
Come inside
Come inside
There behind a
glass
Stands a real blade
of grass
Be careful as you
pass
Move along
Move along
Come inside
The show's about to
start
Guaranteed
To blow your head
apart
Rest assured
You'll get your
money's worth
Greatest show in

Hell

Then he dies
Then he dies

In a glaze of Vaseline
Will perform on guillotine

To Alexander's
Ragtime Band
Dixieland

Performing on a
stool
We've a sight to
make you drool
Seven virgins and a
mule
Keep it cool

We would like it to
be known
The exhibits that
were shown
Were exclusively
our own
All our own
All our own
Come and see the
show
Come and see the
show
Come and see the
show
See the show
Man alone
Born of stone
Will stamp the dust
of time
His hands strike
the flame
Of his soul
Ties a rope
To a tree
And hangs the
universe
Until the winds of
laughter
Blows cold
Fear
That rattles in
men's ears
And rears
It's hideous head
Dread
Death
In the wind
Man of steel
Pray and kneel
With fever's
blazing torch
Thrust into the
face
Of the night
Draws a blade of
compassion
Kissed by countless
kings
Those jeweled trumpet
words
Blind his sight
Walls
That no man thought
would fall
The altars
Of the just
Crushed
Dust
In the wind
No man yields
Who flies in my
ship
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Let the bridge computer
speak
Stranger
Stranger
Stranger
Stranger
Stranger
Stranger
Load
Your
Program
I
Am
Yourself
No computer
Stands in my way
Only blood
Can cancel my pain
Guardians
Of a new clear dawn
Let the maps of war
Be drawn
Rejoice
Glory is ours
Our young men
Have not died in
vain
Their graves
Need
No flowers
The tapes
Have recorded their
names
I
Am all there is
Negative
Primitive
Limited
I
Let you live
But I gave you life
What else could you
do
To do what was
right
I'm perfect
Are you

I love Emerson, Lake and Palmer. One of my favourite songs is Endless Enigma of Trilogy. I remember first hearing Karnevil9 on the Alan Freeman show on Saturday Afternoon, it just blew me away. ELP were simply the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Alan!!! I did not realize that I had never heard Karn Evil 9 in its entirety before putting this together, and it did blow me away!
ReplyDeleteOnly the first works here. Very Hippy days that.
ReplyDeleteNot that I am old enough to remember Hippy days......
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! Those were the days, my friend. May they never end... (Wrong genre?)
ReplyDeleteKarn Evil is far too long for my liking. Maybe if it was a song I really liked but it's not.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! I understand, and I did not realize that it was such a long song until I went to find it on YouTube. For it is only Part 2 that I was familiar with from the radio years ago.
