Ladies and Gentlemen 00:24
lyrics
Ladies and Gentlemen Your attention to me Get ready to see what you’ve not before seen You’ll stir from the sound when we’ve taken the stage You’ll feel the things no words can convey Ladies and Gentlemen Please don’t delay Your attention up front for tonight We play

Carnival Court (step inside) 03:21
lyrics

Come one, come all to the grand event It’s located there in the big red tent Welcome, welcome far and wide Don’t be shy, there’s nowhere to hide But be prepared when you enter in For things are never as they appear The court’s been called, the king arrives Ready or not, he will open your eyes So step inside Step inside Come on in now Don’t be shy This could be, this could be The last ride of the night So step inside Step inside Come on in now Don’t be shy This could be, this could be The last ride of your life The music plays as the curtains rise The lights grow dim and a baby cries The air starts to move as the audience bakes Now there, in the spotlight, a figure waits A voice fills the tent with sugar and spice Betrayed by a smile never reaching the eyes Welcome, welcome, and now that you’re here Prepare yourselves for the ride you all fear So step inside Step inside Come on in now Don’t be shy This could be, this could be The last ride of the night So step inside Step inside Come on in now Don’t be shy This could be, this could be The last ride of your life But be prepared when you enter in For things are never as they appear The court’s been called, the king arrives Before we’re through we will open your eyes We will open your eyes

Purple Sky 03:53
lyrics

I can’t be sure if I’m running out of time Or if I’m lost in some corner of my mind Now once or twice is fine with me But don’t you get me wrong I’ve been stuck in a waking dream For oh so very long The dark side of my mind Now I can’t seem to find my way The dark side of my mind A dream that I can’t hide A purple sky that never goes away I toss and turn, I pray that I will wake But this road I’m walking down Will never set me free A one way street, a one track mind But I can’t feel a thing The dark side of my mind Now I can’t seem to find my way The dark side of my mind A dream that I can’t hide away Can’t hide away Can’t hide away

The Lonesome Soul 04:10
lyrics
buy track
The fire burns bright gather round for a tell Of one whose path led away towards the pale The lonesome soul He was born from the heat of the sun A wayward child with eyes never young A lonesome soul With a lonesome road He calls out, a siren’s song He calls out to the ancient ones He calls out, a siren’s song As he wanders on… He grew up taught by nature and sky Adrift in the joy of a bird taking flight The lonesome soul Learning from those who whispered of life When listening for naught but the silence of night A lonesome soul With a lonesome road He calls out, a siren’s song He calls out to the ancient ones He calls out, a siren’s song As he wanders on… The flame burns low but his story moves on His path never ends as he searches beyond The flame burns low but his story moves on His path never ends as he searches beyond A lonesome soul With a lonesome road

I, Narcissus 03:43
lyrics
buy track
The greatest part, right from the start I’ll be your God, I’ll steal your heart While others look on in shame Now I can see you think to try To make a go for all that’s mine I’m everything that you seek Now everyone I see is waiting And nobody makes a move And I could say what I’m thinking But what I’m thinking’s what I’m gonna do Now crawling from the underground They’re creeping crawlin all around But I won’t make a scene And all the ladies start to yell For when I’m gone, they’ll be in hell Oh why can’t I leave in peace So rise on up and fill the street We’re moving to an empty beat Where everyone can be found Now from my post I’ll take the lead I’ll hold the reins of your defeat And laugh as you kiss the ground Now everyone I see is waiting And nobody makes a move And I could say what I’m thinking But what I’m thinking’s what I’m gonna do

Shangri-la 04:43
lyrics
buy track
The heat from the desert sands is fading Replaced by the bitter cold of life The journey now is all that’s left I’ve risked it all to pass the test And nothing’s left but what I have within Shangri-La that place of fate Where all my broken dreams awake It waits for me It calls to me And Shangri-La once lost is found Now rising up above the clouds It waits for me It calls to me I want it You’ve got it What I’ve been searching for Is over, it’s over But I won’t be the one The flame that was burning bright is fading And with it fades the path that I must take But I can’t forget this place The things I felt that came like waves And carried me away Away from darkest fate Shangri-La that place of fate Where all my broken dreams awake It waits for me It calls to me And Shangri-La once lost is found Now rising up above the clouds It waits for me It calls to me I want it You’ve got it What I’ve been searching for Is over, it’s over But I won’t be the one to say goodbye

about

South of Ramona Salt Lake City, Utah

Take every preconceived idea of folk bands and throw them out the window. Rather than a mellow and deconstructed acoustic sound, South of Ramona, hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, is a crooked folk band that injects the energy and rule-breaking attitude of rock and roll into a style of music that has long shied away from it. ... more
