This CD continues the story of Aryon, a Second Coming, and her quest to deal with the
atrocity that she has suffered. It follows her travels
through the vast expanse of America, and her mind... her search
to reveal a final truth. (see + below).
Story and Lyrics by Mark Mangold
The Second Coming
1. Aryon Overture
by Mark Mangold
Aryon Oh Aryon
2. Stained (Gone)
by Terry Brock, Randy Jackson and Mark Mangold
As the light shined through the Stained glass window
of the small church not far from here
Her soul and her innocence were ripped away
By a demon in black and white veneer
And in that wretched moment she told herself it was love
Not a power perverted to control her in the name of the sacred dove
Gone She was gone
She could not cast it out of her mind
As it happened over and over again
She loathed the smell of the incense and the beer and the sex and cigarettes and Sunday
Mass and the
smell of his breath
And in that wretched moment she told herself it was love
not a power perverted to control her in the name of the sacred dove
Gone gone she was gone
She could never go home
Had to face it alone
Gone, she was gone
(And one hot night after God had gone
She had to see it end one way or another
And she heard the vile, everlasting gasp of the man some called “father”
and some called “brother”)
Never to savor the life that she made
Ever to bury the truth of the one who betrayed
How could she rescue the seed of her faith
And the father oh father
A life has been Stained
Gone She was gone
Aryon you are gone
Gone She Was Gone
3. The Morning After (Time to Run)
By Randy Jackson and Mark Mangold
She wakes in the morning shivers out of bed
She tries to silence all the thoughts inside her head
She takes She breaks (down) closer to the light is all
that she wanted to be
She Holds On Says goodbye to all that she wanted to
be
She looks in the mirror, out of body out of mind
Follows the traces she was hoping not to find
She takes She breaks closer to the light was all
that she wanted to be
She Holds On Say Goodbye to all that you wanted to be
Never will be all that she wanted to be
Yeh All that she wanted to be
Oh Aryon, that was not some desperate illusion
It will not go away
You break into a cold, cold sweat
It is your reality
There’s a time to face it all and a time to dissappear
Into the void your new life has begun
Girl it is your time to run
Time to run
She takes She breaks closer to the
light Is all that she wanted to be
She shakes Still holds on to All that she
wants to believe
Time to run Say goodbye to all that you wanted to be
She just wants to be free
Aryon Hooks Up.
4. Motorcycle Messiah
By Al Fritsch, Mark Mangold and Terry Brock
He rides like the wind so his spirit will be free
Revs his engines.... (like) thunder
Exploding into space
No power that can hold him where he does not want to be
No one can control him
No faith that he’ll believe
He could be right behind you that sound in the night
The only thing he cherishes Is his bible and his bike
Motorcycle Messiah
The speed will take him higher
Messiah Come to take you away
They say that he’s a rebel not like you and me
His mama was a hooker His father was a thief
Now she rides to escape she rides to believe
She rides to touch the heavens on a tank of gasoline
They could be right beside you that thunder in the night
The only thing he cares about his bible and his bike
(He’s the) Motorcycle Messiah
His speed will take her higher
Messiah
(At the speed of light he rides to oblivion No direction home
Ride On Motorcycle Messiah)
Motorcycle Messiah His speed will take him higher
Messiah
Though exciting, Aryon realizes the motorcyle life is not her answer.
Aryon asks for guidance...
5. Shine
By Terry Brock, Randy Jackson and Mark Mangold
Shine down upon me
Shine, let it shine
‘Cause I walk this lonely road but I can carry this heavy load
If I let it shine
My journey’s just begun, gonna follow that rising sun
So let it shine
Let it shine down upon me
Shine, all over me
I walk this lonely road I can carry this heavy load
If I let it shine
My journey’s just begun gonna follow that rising sun
So let it Shine Shine
Gonna make me stronger if I can take it any longer
“Let your light shine on me”
She travels to the Red Rock Canyons of Arizona in search of...
6. Bliss
By Mark Mangold
7. If For One
Moment
(Aryon Sings)
By Mark Mangold
There’s a whole world out there
Sure looks different than Atlanta GA
Livin’ on a song and a prayer
Got nowhere to run and nowhere to stay
If I could fly If I could shine
If for one moment I could understand why
If I could change it or just turn back time, wash the blood from my hands
But I have no more tears no more tears left to cry
(I’m) Not a child anymore
Give me a vision to face the world at my door
I looked to heaven before
But my faith is shaken and I don’t know anymore
If I could fly If I could shine
If for one moment I could understand why
If I could change it or just turn back time, wash the blood from my hands
But I have no more tears No more tears left to cry
Aryon meets and lives with “The Tribe”.
8. Canyon (We Are One Tribe)
By Mark Mangold
As I stand upon this mountain I know I
have All that’s inside of me
All that has made me...the one I am
I will find the message in this all
Destiny closes a door and another one opens that you never saw before
Oh no, so high How I wish I could fly
(We are one tribe)
9. Flame of the
Oracle (To the Shaman of
The Tribe)
By Mark Mangold
As I taste the bitter drought of your vision giving brew
I can feel my body lifting to this place I never knew
Behold the second coming of the wisdom child
Welcome welcome up from the ashes
Untamed and wild
It’s the Flame of the Oracle
Dimensions are transposing as I search for what is truth
As the angels weep in heaven, the hounds of hell break loose
As the veil falls, the torch is in our hands
To stand against this evil and live the master plan
+ Some scars never fade Some scars never fade
Some scars never fade
They just make you stronger They just make you stronger
Shoulder to Shoulder We will carry the Flame
Onwards and forward We will proclaim
This Psychedelic Symphony The Flame of the Oracle
The Flame Yeh
Feel the Fire
And as the Godhead guides us
We will read the mystic scrolls
These lyrics that may heal us
As bells of Tara toll
And thru the mist we see her
The light the future holds
The veil is slowly lifting
To reveal this mighty (kick ass) rock and roll
I can see The Flame Of The Oracle
Some scars never fade They just make you stronger
Aryon must keep moving and leaves The Tribe. She has realized psychedelics are not
her answer. She
moves in with a guy she met at a bar...The Locker Inn.
10. The Ooze
By Terry Brock, Randy Jackson and Mark Mangold
He slinks around like a blob of ooze
Comes into your house and goes straight to the booze
Doesn’t listen to a word you say
Smokes his cigarettes, blows the smoke in your face
He’s hyper, a parasite sniper
Yeh he’s got a problem that he wants everyone to know
You can say
He’s Ooze yeh
Just ooze he’s refuse
(He moves like ooze)
He’s got a problem asking for favors
But if you expect some pay back there’s disturbing behaviour
He loves to talk about suicide for attention
And then he borrows your car
It’s impossible to get him out of your life
He’ll throw a tantrum or threaten your life
He loves the drama the trauma tortures his mama
And she wishes he would just take his meds and be calmer, yeh
He’s Ooze yeh
Just ooze
He moves and slinks around like ooze
Been there, done that...Aryon splits.
11. Inner Child (Exorcise)
(Reprise of Bliss) By Mark Mangold
(End of Sadness...no more regrets)
12. Black Mountain (Aryon’s
Vision Quest)
By Al Fritsch and Mark Mangold
The morning mist it speaks to me in voices that I hear inside my mind
My valley it enfolds me as above I see my mountain kiss the sky
Takin’ my time takin’ my time Makin’ me high
Losin’ my mind feelin’ sublime I listen to my
Black Mountain You are mine
I’ve been down to the city and I’ve seen the twisted emptiness...
This gentle rain that showers me
Reveals my soul the answers I possess
Takin’ my time takin’ my time
wondering why
Open my mind feelin’ sublime Listenin’ to my
Black Mountain You are my
Black Mountain You are mine
Mountain will share my vision free my mind receive my wisdom
Nature cries on my Black Mountainside Live and die (on my Black
Mountain)
Wonder why (on my Black Mountain) Free my mind on my Black
Mountain
Live and die Wonder why
Nature Cries
Black Mountain You are mine
Free my mind on Black Mountain
Listenin’ to my Black Mountain
13. Just Keep on
Breathin’
(The Epiphany...a Message)
By Terry Brock, Randy Jackson and Mark Mangold
Over and over I re lived the day
Feeling it’s hold on me hiding the pain
Till it released me Sacred I turned
Agony, rapture It took this to learn
+ I am the savior sanctify me
+ Just keep on breathin’ Follow the light at the end of the
road
Just keep on breathin’ Move to the light at the end of the
road
Just keep on breathin’
All is forgiven My beast is at bay
The answer’s so simple and sounds so cliche’
+ Love is the answer we’ve heard it before
No truer words say anything more
I am (you are) the savior sanctify me
Just keep on breathin’ Follow the light at the end of the road
Just keep on breathin’ Move to the light at the end of the
road
Just Keep on breathin’
When the earth beneath you shakes and there’s just no more you can take
When the world inside you falls and you think you’ve lost it all
Just keep on breathin’ Follow the light to the end of the road
Just keep on breathin’ Move to the light at the end of the
road
Just keep on breathin’
14. Shine (Finale)
By Terry Brock, Randy Jackson and Mark Mangold
Shine Upon Me
Shine Let It Shine
Shine down on me Sign, let it shine
I can feel it
It makes me stronger everytime
Shine...
Gonna follow the risin’ sun
The Journey is over
Makes me stronger...everytime
Like being born again...a second coming.
Aryon Overture Reprise
By Mark Mangold
Aryon
Shine Delta
By Terry Brock, Randy Jackson and Mark Mangold
Makin’ me stronger So just let it shine
No more carryin’ the heavy load
Shine the light now
All is forgiven Come on Down
Some scars never fade
Put down the heavy load and shine, girl
You climbed the mountain
The way you faced it all...
You have your masters
But all is forgiven..
Your comin’ home It’s just begun
The journey’s over...and it’s just begun
So just let it shine
You’re stronger baby, stronger darlin’
Came out the other side
So just let it shine....shine your light, girl
Oh Aryon, let it shine
15. Trans Americana Symphony
by Mark Mangold
16. Rapture (Ode to Aryon)
by Mark Mangold
17. Bonus Track
Maniac (Dedicated to the Godz Festival)
by Mark Mangold
Your searchin’ for another way
You’re lookin’ back to yesterday
Tryin’ to make this moment shine, again
There’s a dream that’s in you head
Feeling’s you just can’t forget
Locked away and left for dead
Kept inside and never said
So I’ll say them all for you
Forever, Forever
In your heart you’re a maniac yeh
You play a part but you’d give anything to go back again
To a place where the love and the music took you (us) higher
Well I know I know a place we can go
We’re just maniacs at heart
As you find the strength to face another day,
what’s that on the radio?
Whatever happened to the songs you crave?
That good ole’ rock and roll
All the melody is gone
Soundin’ like the same old song
All the voices in your head
You remember, can’t forget
And they’ll go on and on forever, forever
In your heart you’re a maniac yeh
You play a part but you’d give anything to go back again
To a place where the love and the music took you higher
Well I know I know a place we can go
To Be Maniacs At Heart
And your heart still gives you know quarter
And the lite still shines when the band plays “Faithfully”
And the tie still binds when misfortune bring you down
Cause In your heart you’re a maniac yeh
You play a part but you’d give anything to go back again
In your heart you’re a maniac yeh
You play a part but you’d give anything to go back again
To a place where the love and the music took you/us higher
Well I know I know of a place we can go
To Be Maniacs At Heart
