The very first song I wrote for this album was “Wings of Darkness” a song that all but wrote itself. In this song a possibly dark character on an endless journey down the two lane, black top highways of America, who may also may be dispensing some form of justice (or is it just balance?) considers loneliness after finding a woman, who may be the queen of darkness (or is it the queen of hearts?) and asks her to accompany him on his journey. This song was influenced by Alfred Bester’s “The Pi Man”, Damon Knight’s “What Rough Beast” and the imagery from Clint Eastwood’s “Pale Rider” as well as the comic book/ movie anti-heroes from The Crow, The Punisher, The Renegade and even “Ghost Rider”.   

Wings of Darkness

 

Hey little girl won’t you come along with me?

If we should go together who knows what we might see

I know a road and it never ends

It’s a two lane blacktop highway and its’ always been my friend

I know that you might not know just who I might be

I ride on wings of darkness but the darkness is not in me…

 

I ride on wings of darkness out on my patrol

I ride on wings of darkness to keep the darkness from my soul

I ride on wings of darkness, it's my control

 its’ my control, it's my control...

 

  Some say I’m a gunslinger, some say I’m a Knight

Some say I’m the peacemaker come to make things right

Some say I’m the balance, some say the pi-factor

No one knows my challenge, no one knows my soul for sure

I know that you might not know just who I might be

I ride on wings of darkness but the darkness is not in me…

 

I ride on wings of darkness out on my patrol

I ride on wings of darkness to keep the darkness from my soul

I ride on wings of darkness, it's my control

 its’ my control, it's my control...

 

Hey little girl I’ve been looking for so long

for someone like you who could share the song

Some say your the queen of hearts 

some say you're the tray, some say you're an  angel 

 come down to earth to play

Some say you're the reason every mother ought to pray

 

We'll ride on wings of darkness out on our patrol 

We'll ride on wings of darkness to keep the darkness from our soul

We'll ride on wings of darkness, its’ our control

Its’ our control , It's our control...
