My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars they seem to cry My ears will melt, and then my eyes Oh, let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights Reins of steel, and it's alright Cities on flame, with rock and roll Marshal will buoy, but Fender control Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll My heart is black, and my lips are cold Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars they seem to cry My ears will melt, and then my eyes Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll |

Harvester of eyes, that's me
And I see all there is to see When I look inside your head Right up front to the back of your skull Well that's my sign that you are dead And my list for you checks off as null I'm the harvester of eyes I'm the eyeman of TV With my ocular TB I need all the peepers I can find Inside the barn where you find the hay Well just last week I took a ride So high on eyes, I almost lost my way I'm the harvester of eyes Harvester of eyes, that's me....harvester of eyes And I see all there is to see...harvester of eyes When I look inside your head....harvester of eyes Right up front to the back of your skull....harvester of eyes |

Clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst
Out at you from their hiding place Like acid and oil on a madman's face His reason tends to fly away Like lesser birds on the four winds Like silver scrapes in May And now the sand's become a crust Most of you have gone away, you have gone away Oh, come Susie, dear, let's take a walk Just out there upon the beach I know you'll soon be married And you'll want to know where winds come from Well it's never said at all On the map that Carrie reads Behind the clock back there you know At the Four Winds Bar Hey, hey Hey, hey Four winds at the Four Winds Bar Two doors locked and windows barred One door to let to take you in The other one just mirrors it Hey, hey Hey, hey Uh, hellish glare and inference The other one's a duplicate The queenly flux, eternal light Or the light that never warms Yes, the light that never, never warms Oh, the light that never Never warms Never warms Never warms The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst Out at you from their hiding place Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear Would find themselves at Four Winds Bar It's the nexus of the crisis And the origin of storms Just the place to hopelessly Encounter time and then came me... Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Call me Desdinova Eternal light These gravely digs of mine Will surely prove a sight And don't forget my doll Fixe the consequence Astronomy... a star... Astronomy... a star... Astronomy... a star... Astronomy... a star |

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the reaper Nor do the wind the sun or the rain (we can be like they are) Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) Baby I'm your man La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la Valentine is done Here but now they're gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness) Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are) Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) Baby I'm your man La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la Love of two is one Here but now they're gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn't go on Then the door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew then disappeared The curtains flew then he appeared (saying don't be afraid) Come on baby (and she had no fear) And she ran to him (then they started to fly) They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are) She had taken his hand (she had become like they are) Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) |

I hear the music, daylight disc
Three men in black said, "Don't report this" "Ascension," and that's all they said Sickness now, the hour's dread All praise He's found the awful truth, Balthazar He's found the saucer news I'm in fairy rings and tower beds "Don't report this," three men said Books by the blameless and by the dead King in yellow, queen in red All praise He's found the awful truth, Balthazar He's found the saucer news Dead leaves always give up motion I no longer feel the motion Where prophecy fails, the falling motion "Don't report this, agents of fortune" All praise He's found the awful truth, Balthazar He's found the saucer news |

With a purpose full of grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitty/spitting/splitting (?) high tension wires down. Helpless people on subway trains Scream to God as he looks in on them. He picks up a bus and he throws it back down As he wades through the buildings toward the centre of town. CHORUS (×2): Oh no, they say he's got to go: Go, go, Godzilla! (yeahh) Oh no, there goes Tokyo: Go, go, Godzilla! (yeahh) Godzilla-zilla-zilla-zilla... Rinji news o moshiagemasu! Rinji news o moshiagemasu! Godzilla ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu! Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai! Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai! [Chorus] History shows again and again How nature points up the folly of men. Godzilla! (×4 |

That night her kiss told me it was over I walked out late into the dark The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow The further I went on I felt a spreading calm Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in a light And the lovely lady in white was by my side She said "Like me I see you're walking alone Won't you please stay?" I couldn't look away She said I love the night The day is OK and the sun can be fun But I live to see those rays slip away I love the night There's so much I can show and give to you If you will welcome me tonight If only you had been there my dear We could have shared this together No mortal was meant to see such wonder One look in the mirror told me so Come darkness I'll see her again Yes I'm gonna go 'cause now I know She said I love the night The day is OK and the sun can be fun But I live to see those rays slip away I love the night There's so much that I can show and give to you If you will welcome me tonight If only you had been there my dear We could have shared this together |

Maybe I'll see you again baby And maybe I won't Maybe you've bought your ticket Gone back to Detroit Airplanes make strangers of us all Give us distance Much too easily. Jim says some destinies Should not be delivered But you and I seen now baby That still they are Winning it makes losers of us all 'Cause the dice roll So indifferently. CHORUS: Well, I'll wrap myself in cities I travel I'll wrap myself in dreams I'll wrap myself in solitude ("stranger's arms" FOR 3RD CHORUS) But I wish I could wrap myself In thee. Tonight it's hot, without you Tomorrow'll be cold Winter will come along Driven by snow Love it makes strangers of us all When we part Oh so thoughtlessly CHORUS Once we breathed the breath Of sweet surrender Pure, pure Arab air filled our Atmosphere But pride it makes stars of us all Until we fall For everyone to see.

I have this feeling that my luck is none too good This sword here at my side don't act the way it should Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave And it howls, it howls like hell I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool Black blade! Black blade! Forged a billion years ago Black blade! Black blade! Killing so its power can grow There's death from the beginning to the end of time And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign And the whole world's dying and the burdens mine And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time Black blade! Black blade! Bringing chaos to the world we know Black blade! Black blade! And its using me to kill my friends Black blade! Black blade! Getting stronger so the world will end Black blade! Black blade! Forcing my mind to bend and bend The black blade Forged a million billion years ago My cosmic sword goes on for eternity Carving out destiny Bringing in the lords of chaos Bringing up the beasts of Hades Sucking out the souls of heroes Laying waste to knights and ladies My master is my slave Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha |

Home in the valley
Home in the city Home isn't pretty Ain't no home for me Home in the darkness Home on the highway Home isn't my way Home will never be Burn out the day Burn out the night I can't see no reason to put up a fight I'm living for giving the devil his due And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you Time is the essence Time is the season Time ain't no reason Got no time to slow Time everlasting Time to play besides Time ain't on my side Time I'll never know Burn out the day Burn out the night I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong or what's right I've seen signs of what (freezing their eyes) went through Well I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you Burn out the day Burn out the night I can't see no reason to put up a fight I'm living for giving the devil his due And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you |

록 그룹중에는 음반보다는 실황 공연에서 진가를 발휘하는 그룹들이 많이 있는데 BOC
(Blue Oyster Cult)가 그 대표적인 그룹중 하나이다. 레이저 광선을 실황 공연 무대에서 처음 사용한 그룹으로 알려진 이들은 뉴욕 언더그라운드에서 활약한 브루스 스프링스틴, 패티 스미스 등과 함께 대중적인 성공을 거둔 실력파이기도 하다. 1970년 Soft White Underbelly 와 Stalk-Forrest Group 이 합쳐져 결성된 BOC는 1972년 데뷔 음반 'Blue Oyster Cult'를 발표하고 이듬해인 1973년에 커버를 보고 있으면 심한 현기증을 느끼게 하는 'Tyranny And Mutation'을 발표했다. 이 음반에는 이들 공연의 단골 연주곡인 Hot Rails to Hell 을 비롯하여 7 Screaming Diz-Busters 등이 실려있는데 묵직한 헤비메틀 사운드와 Donald Roeser, Eric Bloom, Allen Lanier, 3인의 기타연주는 팬들의 관심을 끌기에 충분했다. 1974년 'Secret Treaties'에 이어 1975년에는 2장짜리 공연 음반 'On Your Feet or on Your Knees' 을 발표하면서 Steppenwolf 의 Born to Be Wild 와 연주곡인 Buck's Boogie를 실었다. 1976년에는 그들의 최대 히트곡 (Don't Fear) The Reaper가 실린 'Agents of Fortune'이 나왔고 1977년에는 최고 걸작 Spectres가 발표되었다. 이 음반은 전작들에 비해 다소 사운드가 약해졌다는 평가를 받았으나 발라드인 I Love the Night를 비롯하여 주술적인 Nosferatu 와 영화로 만들어져 유명해진 고질라를 노래한 Godzilla등이 담겨있다. 공연에 자신감이 있는 BOC는 1978년 2번째 공연음반 'Some Enchanted Evening'을 발매했고 1979년에는 다소 평범한 'Mirrors'를 1980년에는 'Cultosaurus Erectus'를 발표하였다. 1981년 BOC는 The Doors의 기타리스트 로비 크리거를 초빙하여 그룹으로서는 3번째 실황 공연 음반이었으며 더블앨범인 'Extraterrestrial Live'를 발표 하였는데, 이 음반은 이들 BOC의 국내 최초 라이센스 발매반이기도 하다. 이 라이센스 음반은 더블 음반에서 곡을 간추려 싱글 음반으로 발매가 되었는데, 그로인해 아름다운 커버까지 싱글로 발매되는 아쉬움을 남겼다. 1970년대 초중반 헤비메틀 사운드와 악마적인 공연 분위기 연출로 인기를 끌었던 BOC는 80년대 들어 'Fire of Unknown Origin'(1981), 'The Revolution by Night'(1983)등을 냈지만 세월의 흐름을 어쩌지 못하고 점차 잊혀져 가는 그룹이 되었다. 블랙사바스와 어깨를 나란히 하던..."악마의 음악"이라는 평을 들었던 그룹... 레이저 광선을 이용한 공연은 "Blue Oyster Cult" 의 트레이드마크였다... 몽환적인 분위기와 사악하고 그로데스크한 이미지가 결합된 Live는 당시('70)로는 획기적인 사건이었다... 때문에 종교단체와 보수 층으로부터 거센 반발을 불러 일으키기도 한 락계의 악동들이다... 이 앨범은 이들의 싱글로는 최대의 성공을 거둔 "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"(12위)가 수록된 '76년 4집 앨범이다... 미국 뉴욕 출신의 그룹인 이들은 헤비메탈의 원류(原流)를 논할 때 빼놓을 수 없는 중요한 그룹이며...이들의 사운드적 특성은 '60년대 후반을 휩쓴 사이키델릭과 블루스 리바이벌에 의한 하드락 대신 로큰.롤의 부기 사운드와 리프 중심의 심플하고 강력한 사운드로 정평이 나있는 그룹이기도 하다... |

Well I'm up there beside the magic man And he layed some tricks for me He said you do need help my friend I whispered, obviously He laid a spread of Jacks and Queens And he begged me take my pick But every face that had your face I cried out, I am sick Chorus: Sick of hauling your love around Want to run my train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone Oh it's a hard love to love you it takes up all my time Having you so familiar like past lives and nursery rhymes So I gave away the pictures and your golden ring And the phone calls you sent me and the silver birds that sing Then the man he told me something that really brought me down Your things were blown away it's true but you were still in town Chorus: The magician left a message, it flashes when I hide Accept the chains of loving, Accept the rails remove yourself from her side Do without her love As I lay back in the speeding train, I keep it by my side I could mail a letter to you but I still have my pride Chorus Three times I've sent you back from me three times my boat's gone dry And three times I've seen the shooting shark lighting up the sky Oh it's a hard love to love you babe it takes my breath away The fourth time round is the last time round there's nothing else to say |

Strange shapes light up the night.
Never see ?em though I hope I might. Don?t ask if they are real. The men in black, their lips are sealed. Fantasy fills my mind To leave this place before my time, Release myself from earthly care. My dream may be your nightmare. I turn my hopes up to the sky I?d like to know before I die Memories will slowly fade I lift my eyes and say, ?Come on, take me away! Come on, take me away!?br /> Come here girl close to me A thousand stars your eye can see First one we see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might. Chorus Guitar solo Chorus |
