Graham Bonnet’s post-Rainbow project Alcatrazz resurfaces on «Born Innocent» after a long rebirth. |
(Graham Bonnet)
There in a blizzard of ice, an old is walking He's leaving his eskimo life, and knows where he's going Out where the caribou run, wilderness desert He sits alone on the ground, shaking and silente Something is coming to take him away Where his long life will be ended After his life has been taken away He'll be reborn returning Please save him polar bear, release his spirit Take him to where he'll reborn again You know him polar bear, as many before him You took them where they'd born again He threw his spear one last time, no longer a hunter He left family behind, his work for them over All his treasures were placed in the ground, wait for his returning He will be born strong again, a new life beginning Something is coming to take him away Where his long life will be ended After his life has been taken away He'll be reborn returning Please save him polar bear, release his spirit Take him to where he'll reborn again You know him polar bear, as many before him You took them where they'd born again Gracefully, he laid his burdon down Awakening to anew life Something is coming to take him away Where his long life will be ended After his life has been taken away He'll be reborn returning Please save him polar bear, release his spirit Take him to where he'll reborn again You know him polar bear, as many before him You took them where they'd born again

Midnight in London 1666 A single flame was a start of it The medieval city, inside the city walls Many unnamed victims of a firestorm Then came the violence Then came the strife Moving fast like a lightning strike Was it retribution, for another sin Was it the solution for the plague within Nowhere to go and no place to hide The skies are burning from every side Take what you can and flee from the flames Run for your life and start once again On the wind destruction, chaos and death Churches and factories, Westminster spared On the streets the riots, suspicion and fear The mayors indecision — hell on earth is here! Still the violence Still the strife Still moving fast live a lightning strike Nowhere to go and no place to hide The skies are burning from every side Take what you can and flee from the flames Run for your life and start once again Nowhere to go and no place to hide The skies are burning from every side Take what you can and flee from the flames Run for your life and start once again Nowhere to go and no place to hide The skies are burning from every side Take what you can and flee from the flames Run for your life and start once again
(Steve Vai — Graham Bonnet)
He met her at the party A silhouette so perfectly formed Her voice flowed like a sonnet A noble profile proud and strong Could have been a debutant had he met her at stately home But he was in for a big surprise when airs and graces were gone Dirty, dirty like the city She was dirty, dirty like the city She was a classic act With a thousand curtain calls Every man she met was weakened As she grabbed them by the balls Could have been a debutant had he met her at stately home But he was in for a big surprise when airs and graces were gone Dirty, dirty like the city She was dirty, dirty like the city
