Demons And Wizards

Uriah Heep Demons And Wizards Lyrics
1.All My Life

Lyricist:Michael Frederick Box, David Byron, Lee Gary Kerslake

I had a little look for a minute today
And I told here there was something that I wanted to say
Just sitting there glowing, with her red light on
So I gotta move fast and it shouldn't take long

Maybe she will? Maybe she won't?
You get yourself together 'cause she doesn't say don't
I never ever thought I was looking for a wife
But I think I can love her for the rest of my life, yeah

I only took one 'cause I couldn't take two
I want to make love and it's gotta be you
Every little thing that I ever tried to say
Is coming out right in my own kind of way

Take it, make it, the weather feels fine
She must be lady luck and she's gonna be mine
I never ever thought I was looking for a wife
But I think I can love her for the rest of my life, get it

I will love you all my life, I will love you all my life
I will love you all my life, I will love you all my life
I will love you all my life, I will love you all my life
I will love you all my life


2.Circle of Hands

Lyricist:Kenneth William Hensley

Circle of hands, cold spirits plan
Searching my land for an enemy
Came across love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty evil was lost

Sky full of eyes, minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts, down to their graves
Murdered the dawn, spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun of which love was born

We must keep them away or pretty soon we'll pay
But count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice the future has it's price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow

We must keep them away or pretty soon we'll pay
But count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice the future has it's price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow


3.Easy Living

Lyricist:Ken Hensley

This is a thing I've never known before, it's called easy living
This is a place I've never seen before and I've been forgiven
Easy living and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road I had walked behind you
Easy living and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Waiting, watching, wishing my hard life away
Dreaming, fainting, ready for love every day
And some easy living

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road I had walked, walked behind you
Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Easy living and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart


4.Rainbow Demon

Lyricist:Kenneth William Hensley

There rides the rainbow demon
On his horse of crimson fire
Black shadows are following closely
On the heels of his desire

Riding on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day

Rainbow demon
Pick up your heart and run
Rainbow demon
Looks for his sword and is gone

Riding on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day

Rainbow demon
Pick up your heart and run
Rainbow demon
Looks for his soul and is gone
...


5.The Poet's Justice

Cold winds and cloudy skies
turn to sweetness in her eyes.
Fantasies I realized
came to life to my surprise.

Rain came and took her away
just when I thought she was here to stay.
Sun gone, I was left high and dry
when love came by and touched me and kissed me so long.

Shine hard October moon.
He will take me to her soon.
Run swiftly silver stream.
Find my love or let me dream.

Now half of me is all of her,
I'd be much happier if I were whole.
All my words and wisdom fail.
The poet's justice leads me to my goal - leads me to my goal.

Cold winds and cloudy skies
turn to sweetness in her eyes.
Fantasies I realized
came to life to my surprise.


6.The Wizard

Lyricist:Mark Clark, Ken Hensley

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine

He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire
And as he spoke, I felt a deep desire
To free the world of its fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again

Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts?
'Cause then I know we'd find, we're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy, everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life, the peace that love can bring

So spoke the wizard in his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom means, we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And a million silver stars that guide me with their light


7.Traveller in Time

Lyricist:Box, Byron, Kerslake

Every day I have to look to the sun
To see where it was that I have come from
I have a feeling that there must be a time
When I'll get a chance to go home

'Cause I'm so tired of being here alone
But I'm just a traveler in time
Trying so hard to pay for my crime

If I could go back the same way I got here
See the people that I once held so near
Do my best to find an answer for you
But first I must wait till I'm set free
And I don't know how long that's gonna be

'Cause I'm a man with a whole lot on his mind
Just out there somewhere traveling in time
Traveling in time

I've tried for so long to find
Some way of helping mankind


8.The Spell

What do you think I am?
Do you think I'm dreaming?
Don't you know I know?
What it is you're scheming?

Who d'you think gave you the right?
Hidden by the dead of night
To take the world and turn it upside down
When it should be round

Seems I made it just in time
To use my reason and my rhyme
To save us from
The evils of your mind

I will cast the spell
Be sure I'll cast it well
I will light a fire
Kindled with desire

I'll fill you with fear so you know I'm here
And I won't be treated like a fool
It's no good, you pretending
There'll be no happy ending
I'm alive and darkness is my tool

But when the night is over
And daytime steals your cover
The goodness of the morning sun
Will warm away what you have done
And leave you cold

I have no need for moonlight
You're wrong to trust in sunlight
For I exist not just in storms
But in life itself in so many forms
To leave you cold

I will leave you now
But you won't defeat me
You had best beware
When you come to meet me

Love and truth will follow me
An army of reality
Brought from every corner
Of the world

You will never break the spell
I'll summon all the fires of hell
And this is my advice
For what it's worth

Let us not begin
This fight we cannot win
Be sure you're watching me

â~Cause all through your life
Every day and every night
You should know
That I'll be watching you


9.Paradise

Lyricist:Hensley Kenneth William David

I feel you trying
Though in my heart I know you're lying
And though your love for me is dying
I see you crying

It's the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul

I touch you softly now
Borne on by hope, until the end somehow
I am a man and I must keep my vow
I must go on

But the wall of your secret heart
Keeps my distance clear
Helps my footsteps fall
Back in line inside my mind

What's the use? You turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about?
Where's my sunny sky?

Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings, my daunted soul
The time has come to go

I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
And live in paradise

What's the use? You turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about?
Where's my sunny sky?

Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings, my daunted soul
The time has come to go

I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
And live in paradise

What's the use? You turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about?
Where's my sunny sky?
