Lyrics:
If you would sit within a darkened room
With a candle to one side
Look hard into the mirror
And just focus on your eyes
As you sink deeper into your soul
Your outline will slowly fade
To be replaced by a devils mask
Or the portrait of Dorian Gray
As you stare into the parallel world
What do you really see?
The reflection looking back at you
Is not the face that used to be?
The years have passed so swiftly
Like a flash across the skies
The countenance of youth has gone
Or perhaps the mirror lies?
What demon lurks within its depths?
Or just a face you wish to hide
Maybe you've passed beyond the glass
To view from the other side
Don't wait till the clock strikes midnight
Or you will open up a door
And loose the demons that what lies within
That could touch your very soul
Don't wait until the witching hour
Marks the end of another day
Or you will unleash the dark forces
And the curse of Dorian Gray
Are you seeing what lies in store?
When time has had its way
Or are you seeing what really is
Like the portrait of Dorian Gray
Rip Terry :'(

Powerful song , great vocal and lyrics. Thanks for sharing :)
Wonderful! Thanks for lyrics/sharing :-)
fuck yeah..kneel at the altar
Sounds like early 80s late 70s judas preist.with Ian stuart screwdriver on vocals.
yes mister!
Thanks for suggesting, I see that you like this book very much - if I can, I will read it :)
Am I the only one who finds the melodies to vaguely remind of Castlevania music?
Best fookin band in the W-O-R-L-D! Granted, Terry Jones vocals are an acquired taste, but I can only speak for me self, and I venerate their music FROM THE FIRST AUDITION. I don't have any life size posters but I do have all their albums except the splits and this last one...All good things come to those who wait! 2012 just got MUCH BETTER! Let's press forwards and get that album on sale!! Oh shit, let's get it on and play it extremely LOUD!! YES!!!!
Still waiting. This is arghhh how long must one wait
For what it's worth, the lineup on this recording was only Terry and Alan.
@OliverMagnum21 Now I followed the lyrics; I suppose we will never know who was this Dorian Gray but now I see not this is the most important question. It seems to be much more interesting; are we able to see the truth - about ourselves? Hard but necessary thing! Our life depends on it. I always said that the best lyrics are from rockers. It's a really, really great lyrics, thanks again :)

You chosed this song with a steady hand - it's cutting strong as much as the 80's greatest hard rock numbers. Can you add the lyrics?
@OliverMagnum21 Thanks!
@SweetSmoke21 Added!
Thanks - but I already know it from OliverMagnum21. Somehow I left out this one though reading was my fav. spare time for a long time. Best wishes:)
