A MAGIC BAG
music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari
vox and lyrics: Christianna
William likes his suffering
All the attention - love it brings
Club to club he revels 'round
Another fool for the lost and found
William is a serious guy
Carries a sword by his side
Tied with twine to a ragged string
His idea of a wedding ring
A magic bag suddenly appears
Plastic straws like rabbit ears
Carved bone dice roll across the bed
He took his coat covered up his head
And to his made up gods he cried
Give me another place to hide
William likes his many friends
Lives his life to meet their ends
Do they like his whimpering
Or tire of the lies he sings
William balks at reality
I don't like the sun he preens
Wanders the forest with his offering
A black crow the gift he brings
Builds the bonfire, a wickerman
Dance 'round the bodies in a happy trance
A magic bag suddenly appears
Plastic straws like rabbit ears
Carved bone dice roll across the bed
He took his coat covered up his head
And to his made up gods he cried
Give me another place to hide
William likes his many friends
Lives his life to meet their ends
William likes his suffering
All the attention - love it brings
Club to club he revels 'round
Another fool for the lost and found
William is a serious guy
Carries a sword by his side
Tied with twine to a ragged string
His idea of a wedding ring

OUR FLESH
music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari
vox: Christianna
lyrics: Johnny Tyndal & Christianna
I knew he was here
My mind is still without fear
Devoted the love we share
Nothing but our flesh to wear
Time ago with faith held divine
Demons crossed the paths to shine
Hand in hand through devils land
Devoted the love we share
Nothing but our flesh to wear
I knew he was here
My mind is still without fear
Others moons have quickly passed
I unmask myself, alone I stand
Mythic fantasies falling fast
Withering ghosts of tomorrows past
Wading through still waters of guile
Cursing the vain ashen years
Time ago with faith held divine
Demons crossed the paths to shine
Hand in hand through devils land
I knew he was here
My mind is still without fear
Devoted the love we share
Nothing but our flesh to wear
Time ago with faith held divine
Demons crossed the paths to shine
Hand in hand through devils land
Others moons have quickly passed
I unmask myself, alone I stand
Mythic fantasies falling fast
Withering ghosts of tomorrows past
Wading through still waters of guile
Cursing the vain ashen years

WATCHING FROM THE DARKEST PLACES
music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari
vox and lyrics: Christianna
Outside the occasional break
I have no clue or measure to take
A simple sound whirls me 'round
As a wanton hand would drag me down
So off on rubber legs I stride
Leering faces no place to hide
City lights a strobe of faces
Watching from the darkest places
The candles burn their sockets dim
In vain I feel my pockets thin
The blinds drawn let thru the day
And all I wonder is how to pay
Stealing 'cross the underground
Laughing hands they pull me down
So stand away the strange ones drifting
The haze around me suddenly lifting
Collect me here in my revulsion
Reeling senseless in my abandon
My lover gives an offering
Lusting for the spoils it brings
Cigarette shiver give me some light
Smile to my face and kiss me goodnight
He gives to hatred the secret lover
Nothing further to discover
The candles burn their sockets dim
In vain I feel my pockets thin
The blinds drawn let thru the day
And all I wonder is how to pay
Stealing 'cross the underground
Laughing hands they pull me down
So stand away the strange ones drifting
The haze around me suddenly lifting
Her fire burned ashen cold
So many stories left untold
A simple sound to whirl her 'round
As a wanton hand would pull her down
So off on rubber legs I stride
Windows leering no place to hide
City lights a strobe of faces
Watching from the darkest places
The candles burn their sockets dim
In vain I feel my pockets thin
The blinds drawn let thru the day
And all I wonder is how to pay
Stealing 'cross the underground
Laughing hands they pull me down
So stand away the strange ones drifting
The haze around me suddenly lifting
What strange promises you spin
That I would batter happiness against a rock
When tomorrow nothing will remain

BEFORE THESE CRIMES
music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari
vox: Christianna
lyrics: Johnny Tyndal & Ananael
Die here I will
Again and again
Upon this floor
Where she treads
Crawling close
Devious delight
Pleasure and pain
A kiss in the night
Wish I knew you then
Before these crimes
Of vices wire before
Before the scars
Of beautys bars
Wish I knew you then
Before I knew you now
Wake me from this
Strange language
When you toss me
Into the ocean
Without a look
Without a sound
Mistaken was I
To wish for this
And seal it with
That witches kiss
Wish I knew you then
Before these crimes
Of vices wire before
Before the scars
Of beautys bars
Wish I knew you then
Before I knew you now
Wake me from this
Strange language
When you toss me
Into the ocean

ONE LESS DAY
music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari & David Glass
vox and lyrics: Christianna
One less day and I'm still here
One less day to cry my tears
One less day to do again
One less day without you my friend
Seven pills wait patiently
To carry me to your home
Sunless days in front of me
Until I'm going home
One less day to drink alone
The television on its own
Static stifling to a drone
One less day to be alone
Seven pills wait patiently
To carry me to your home
Sunless days in front of me
Until I'm going home
One less day of suffering
And night turns into morning
One less day and I'm still here
One less day to cry my tears
One less day to do again
One less day without you my friend
Seven pills wait patiently
To carry me to your home
Sunless days in front of me
Until I'm going home
For reason to see
Memories
For reason to see
Memories
One less day

I WANT
music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari
vox: Christianna
lyrics: Johnny Tyndal & Christianna
I want to forgive
Haven't felt enough hate
I want to forget
Haven't felt enough pain
I want to see the stars
Haven't felt enough fame
I want to be alive
Haven't broken the bars
Want to be 5 by 5
Haven't faded the scars
I want to slash and slay
Haven't had to pray
I want to dream
Haven't stopped the scream
I want to run away
Haven't made my mind
Am I too close to the sun
Blinded by memories tears
Maybe I'm music, maybe the gun
Bullet holes riddle the years
I want another day
Haven't time to find
I want you here
Haven't the cord to bind
I want you to mirror
Haven't courage to smile
I want to want to
Want awhile
Am I too close to the sun
Blinded by memories tears
Maybe I'm music, maybe the gun
Bullet holes riddle the years

WITCHES GOLD
music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari
vox and lyrics: Christianna
Her house is empty and her heart is old
And filled with shades and echoes that deceive
With blind bent fingers, nets that cannot hold
No one save her for still she tries to weave
Once all men's arms rode up to her 'tis told
And hovered like white birds for her caress
A crown she could have to bind each tress
Of hair and her sweet arms the witches gold
Her mirrors know her whiteness for there
She rose in dreams from other dreams
From other dreams
Her softness as she stood crowned with soft hair
And with his bound heart and his young eyes bent
And blind he feels her presence like shed scent
Holding his body and life within its snare
Her softness as she stood crowned with soft hair
Holding his body and life within its snare
Her house is empty and her heart is old
And filled with shades and echoes that deceive
With blind bent fingers, nets that cannot hold
No one save her for still she tries to weave
Once all men's arms rode up to her 'tis told
And hovered like white birds for her caress
A crown she could have to bind each tress
Of hair and her sweet arms the witches gold

MEMORIES KILL
music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari
vox: Christianna
lyrics: Johnny Tyndal & Christianna
He sets the picture down
Stands alone, turns around
The empty room is whirling
Her scent thru the window opening
Memories spill...memories kill
All are victims, she spins the web
Pretty, shiny thing
I hear your words, pathetic
I hear your lies how comforting
You're sick like me - just like me
That's what I love about you
You're sick like me - just like me
That's what I fear about you
Sadly I look upon you, this fragile state
Passion burnt away loveless flames
Settled have you forth and fifth best
Your heart will have no rest

NIGHTINGALE
music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari
vox: Christianna
lyrics adapted from John Keats
Away, away, for I will fly to thee
When my heart aches and drowsy numbness pains
My sense as though of hemlock drunk
Or empty some opiate to the drain
One minutes passed and leftward sunk
Away, away, for I will fly to thee
Safer from heaven is with reasons blown
Fade far away, dissolve and quite forget
What among the leaves has never known
The weariness, the fever and the fret
Where old men sit and hear each other groan
To seize upon the midnight with no pain
And leaden eyes despair
Away, away, for I will fly to thee
Safer from heaven is with reasons blown
Away, away, for I will fly to thee
In virtuous rooms and winding ways
I cannot see the flowers at my feet
Fading violets covered up in leaves
I've been half in love with easeful death
Called him soft names in musing rhymes
To take into the air my quiet breath
Now more than ever seems it rich to die
Away, away, for I will fly to thee
Safer from heaven is with reasons blown
Away, away, for I will fly to thee
In virtuous rooms and winding ways
