MISCELLANEOUS
This page lists lyrics from demo tapes that did not have a proper cover.
Two MK demos were released in 1996 ('TV cars and magnet toys') and 1999 ('Humanity'). All the songs from the
second made it on to the self-titled demo CD, while
only one of the first did (the title track.)
THE CRIMSON CROWN
Artist: MK
Album: TV cars and magnet toys [demo tape]
Lyrics: Alex S. Garcia
Music: Michael Kolomiets
Out in the fog the armies march, sounding like a billion men or more.
Shouts in the night make them watch every shadow upon the wall.
Crimson shades wither your pain as your fear grows every minute.
And in the haze, you feel the rain pouring upon your shoulders.
And now you blast my eyes with your shiny metal
You capture my smile on a frozen saddle
You make me cry like if I could never die
And you take my soul where it can never be found.
Aside from this burning temptation, you persuade me to wear the crown
I fear the armies coming, but you say they can never take me down.
Oh how I wish I could tell you I don't care for all this power
I never asked for all this and now here I am, caught in this slaughter !
And every night I dream of an unseen land
I dream a mighty kingdom at hand
Every night I see a vision of light and day
I hope one day to be free and the stars to guide my way
Crimson crown on my head, burns and scorches my bones
Crimson crown I wear, taking me so far from home...
lyrics (c) 1996 Alex S. Garcia / music (c) 1996 Michael Kolomiets
OLD MAN CRIES
Artist: MK
Album: TV cars and magnet toys [demo tape]
Lyrics: Alex S. Garcia
Music: Michael Kolomiets
Watching the child, old man cries.
When did it all start to fall?
He was alive, old man had a life!
Never had he dreamed that he'd survive the damn bomb -- and the old man cries...
Never thought he'd live to see the sun rise again -- and the old man cries...
And the old man cries, thinking 'bout the pain and all who've died.
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta...
But the old man cries. But the old man cries.
Why want to raze Hiroshima?
Why drop the bomb, why my Lord?
But he was alive, old man had a life!
Never could he understand the reason for all this -- and the old man cries...
Never could he understand the meaning for these deaths -- and the old man cries...
And the old man cries, praying forgiveness for those who died.
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta...
But the old man cries. But the old man cries.
Time now has passed, and he can
Remember the past -- so much pain.
He's still alive, old man has a life...
lyrics (c) 1996 Alex S. Garcia / music (c) 1996 Michael Kolomiets
WHAT SHOULD I SAY?
Artist: MK
Album: TV cars and magnet toys [demo tape]
Lyrics: Michael Kolomiets & Alex S. Garcia
Music: Michael Kolomiets
I had been walking all day when I came to your door
And I knocked and then you let me in.
You taught me to love the night, never asked who I was,
Where I went, nor where I had come from...
You gave me the key to your door -- opened it for me...
From the boy I was -- changed me to the man I am today
You showed me the way to the sea,
Erased all pain -- what should I say?
I asked her ''what color is the wind?'' and my dear blew
At my face, and her whiff took my old
Skin away from my bones -- made me a brand new man.
So I am, yes I am, I sure am...
She gave me the key to her door -- opened it for me...
From the boy I was -- changed me to the man I am today
She showed me the way to the sea,
Erased all pain -- what should I say?
Every night I need you, hold me tight by your side,
Please be there, every night, please be there...
And our love will live on, forever stay strong,
So stay here, yes my dear, very near...
lyrics (c) 1996 Alex S. Garcia / music (c) 1996 Michael Kolomiets
