MY DISEASE Music: John Bunucci, David Wrenn, Mark Edwards Lyrics and Melody: Bobby Lucas
Posted 12/30/2004
What are you doing here again?
Do you honestly think that I believe you’re a friend?
You have ripped and torn the life I've known to shreds
Look into my eyes to see where I have been
I've got a raging storm in my mind
I've tried to leave it all behind...
You promised to make my problems all go away
Never to disappear they just keep growing each day
I may as well just throw my money into the wind
Your little white lies have turned into mortal sins
I've got a world of hate in my brain
Each day I grow a bit more insane
I need to have some kind of new release
I'm powerless against My Disease...
How many lives have you already destroyed?
Families torn apart and souls cast into the void
The Reaper's waiting for you to take hold of his hand
Can you read the epitaph from where you now stand?
I've got a raging storm in my mind
I've tried to leave it all behind
This craving brings me down to my knees
Driven insane each day by My Disease...
It's My Disease...

It came so quickly, upon our land
Their ways and deeds, supreme command
Across the sea, amidst the horizon
Overlorde forever binds us
Out in the darkness, I hear them calling
Stand up and fight, our kingdom is falling
Must hold tight, I feel them draw nearer
Feel all their might, our defeat seems much clearer
Overlorde, drop to your knees
Your cities in ruin, we take what we please
Overlorde, destruction's at hand
Overlorde, supreme command
Now that we've taught you, all of our ways
I say you must listen, for short are your days
Overlorde, drop to your knees
Your cities in ruin, we take what we please
Overlorde, destruction's at hand
Overlorde, supreme command

My eyes have seen a faded presence
A cloudy haze still hangs around me
I ventured on a moonlit evening
And came across him by a river
He bid me stay and greet the day
A lame old man in ragged clothing
Proceeded on to cast a spell
Trapped by Magic! (4 times)
The world spread out so strange before me
Felt the blood within me boil
Realms of gold would stand before me
And with his words then turn to dust
A lonely woman softly crying
But I couldn’t stop the tears
And what appeared before my eyes
A thousand Angels sweetly singing
The woman showed a little smile
What was this that I was seeing
Then back I came, the old man gone
Trapped by Magic! (4 times)
Trapped by Magic! (4 times)

Long ago, where clouds are lined with gold
There lived a King, whose realm was good and all was well
His castle was among the star of the Parthenon
His Queen and princess were all he did pride
Where all is just, and truth is right
Jude’s guard of knights, all pure at heart
Helped Jude keep his kingdom right
He King’s advisor, who helped Jude rule
The faithful Wizard, who’s name was Saraphin
Come to Starcastle, the people said
Where all is just, and truth is right
That tries to undo good
And many men, though good at heart
Let evil enter their minds….
The King is Jude, his rule is good
But something’s wrong in the wizard’s mind
Starcastle (3 times)
MARK OF THE WOLF Music: John Bunucci, David Wrenn, Mark Edwards Lyrics and Melody: Bobby Lucas
Posted Nov 9, 2004
Walking alone into the dead of night
Bathed in the golden glow of the full moons light
My senses are warning me of a presence unseen
It's hard to tell if it's real or just a dream...
Twisted trees casting shadows of fear
Why have I come to this place--why am I here?
Something is telling me that I am not alone
I must remind myself that I'm far from home...
Moonlight--bathing the night in it's glow
Instinct--primal and deadly unfolds
I can see movement now from within the trees...
My pace soon quickens--now I must flee
Torment burning its way through my brain
Ancient curse now inflicting its pain
It is
upon me now this nightmare beast from Hell
I scream but no one comes--I know this all too well
The air is crisp and clean but my blood is now running cold
Overwhelmed by fear so great consuming my soul
Wolfsbane looming in moonlight now prowls
Bloodlust, timeless and ageless now found
Am I
now cursed to be more of a beast than man
Upon my chest the sign of the pentagram...
Gypsy woman please set me free
What have I done to bring this curse down on me
Doomed forever more to fear the full moon’s light
No longer human, but a beast in the night
Moonlight--bathing the night in it's glow
Instinct--primal and deadly unfolds
The hot and horrid breath of a hellish beast
The stream of liquid life has become my joyous feast
Mark Of the Wolf... (4 X)
COLOSSUS (ISLAND OF THE CYCLOPS) Music: John Bunucci, David Wrenn, Mark Edwards Lyrics and Melody: Bobby Lucas
Posted Oct 30, 2004
Watchout, Cyclops is loose
Beware, Cyclops is loose
Watchout, Cyclops is loose
Beware, Cyclops is loose
On the seas of the lost horizon
Where blood red rivers flow like wine
There is an island I know named Colossus
Mysterious land from forgotten times...
Upon the ridge of the giant Roc
Massive two-headed bird of prey
Here stands the lair of the Cyclops mighty
All human kind is doomed today
A single eye now watches closely
From the safety of his mountain home
No known weapons made can harm him
It feasts on human flesh and bone
One day came a mighty sailor
To seek the shell of the giant bird
An ingredient of most importance
To restore size to the Princess he served
One day came the mighty Sinbad
To seek the shell of the giant bird
He came upon the weakened Cyclops
Of this massive beast he had not heard
A fearsome battle soon began
Between the giant and the man
Sinbad fearless stood his ground
And through the valley came the sound
Sinbad The Sailor emerges triumphant
The awesome Cyclops has now met it's match
Never again to bring fear to the island
Ending his reign of dark terror at last...
On the seas of the lost horizon
Where blood-red rivers flow like wine
There lies the island that's known as Colossus
Mysterious land of forgotten times...
WHEN HE COMES Music: John Bunucci, David Wrenn, Mark Edwards Lyrics and Melody: John Bunucci
Posted Sep 12, 2004
He has risen, from
his grave
No decision, Satan's slave
He has power, when he's one
He was vanquished, from the son
Now he stalks us, all mankind
Killing all who, show his sign
He has come with forces strong to take our land
He will try with all his might to kill off man
Ruthless tactics he's employed he steals the night
In darkest shadow his flaw is found he fears the light
People smile as he walks on by
Scared to death too much to cry
All the time they shake and stare
They know too soon he will be there
I could see a sign of life in the skies
Heaven knows it's much too late, no more lies
I feel his breath, the stench of war, rising fast
Dawn comes soon I hope to God, we just won't last
People smile as he walks on by
Scared to death too much to cry
All the time they shake and stare
They know too soon he will be there
Now you've seen the truth and light, don't be late
Christ has come to tend his flocks he just can't wait
He has come to kill the beast and save all man
Now in peace forever more the Earth will stand
People smile as he walks on by
Scared to death too much to cry
All the time they shake and stare
They know too soon he will be there

Cold and
barren frozen plains
Winter storms and druid games
From another time, in a distant time
Ice men bold with ice blue steel
Mages spinning northern spells
Cast upon the world, an ancient magic world
Oh watch the Northern lights
Beyond the solid sea
The Snow Giant here is found!
The Snowy realm with snow white king
Where many venture just to see
If they can have it all, the kingdom and the throne
The giant lives but all alone
No winter knights to guard his throne
Here upon the top, the top of the world
Oh watch the Northern lights
Beyond the solid sea
The Snow Giant here is found!
Seasons pass unnoticed
The light of endless day, or dark of endless night
A king without a quest
Noble and alone
Content within his soul. the Keeper of the Chest
He stands alone to guard his home
The hordes of man to claim his throne
Upon his land they come, the wicked and the wrong
With firebolts and magic swords
Invaders storm the snow-capped fort
But all to no avail, the giant knows it well
Oh learn the lesson well
Told in this Northern tale
The Snow Giant wins once more
Snow Giant! (4 x)
