There's a voice in the darkness
And it’s calling your name
Wicked lady
Heartache and sorrow
Well, it's all in her game
Wicked lady
Don't look in her eyes
She’ll take your soul away
Well, she stalks like a tiger
On the edge of the night
Wicked lady
As cold as the mist
In the red morning light
Wicked lady
Don't you look in her eyes
She'll take your soul away
Well, don't try to run
Because there's nowhere to hide
From the wicked lady
As soon as you feel her
Death walks by your side
Wicked lady
Don't look in her eyes
She'll take your soul away
Well, there's a voice in the darkness
And it’s calling your name
Wicked lady
I said heartache and sorrow
Well, it’s all in her game
Wicked lady
Don't look in her eyes
She’ll take your soul away
Wicked lady

Wicked Lady "Run The Night" (lyrics found)
* From album: "The Axeman Cometh"
** Recorded: 1969-1972, Released: 1993
You're living in the darkness
You're sleeping in the light
Engine in the city gonna run the night
Now it's no way to live your life
All your dreams are gone
The modern world will help you to carry on
Don't look out your window
Your eyes can only see by electric light
Medicine will help you
Cut out all the pain
Relying on your doctor to keep you sane
It doesn't matter anymore
Emotions stretched so tight
The message in your mirror says give up the fight
Don't look out your window
Your eyes can only see by electric light
You're living in the darkness
You're sleeping in the light
Engine in the city gonna run the night
It doesn't matter anymore
Emotions stretched so tight
The message in your mirror says give up the fight
Don't look out your window
Your eyes can only see by electric light

Wicked Lady "Living On The Edge" (lyrics found)
* From album: "The Axeman Cometh"
** Recorded: 1969-1972, Released: 1993
Sometimes you feel like you're the
The only one
You just can't make it
Your time has come
You're going down and there's no
There's no way out
You stand alone
While other people scream and shout
Your head is spinning
And your mouth is dry
Hands keep on shaking
But you don't know why
Heart beating faster
You can't take no more
You want to reach out
For the bottle and just pour
Feel like you're out there on a ledge
When you're living on the edge
Some people say that
When you're going down you're out
But they don't seem to
Really know what it's all about
It's not that other people
Really just don't care
But everybody has
A cross they have to bear
Feel like you're out there on a ledge
When you are living on the edge
Sometimes you feel like you're the
The only one
You just can't make it
Your time has come
You've got to get the line
You must come clean
As everyone around
Of this part of the machine
Feel like you're out there on a ledge
When you're living on the edge

Wicked Lady "Rebel" (lyrics found)
* From album: "The Axeman Cometh"
** Recorded: 1969-1972, Released: 1993
Every evening when the sun goes down
You do the things you shouldn't do
Like a vampire with a need for blood
There's a fire inside of you
Driving on empty through the streets of life
But your wheels are catching fire
Don't try to tell me everything's all right
'Cause I know that you're a liar
Every evening when the sun goes down
You do the things you shouldn't do

Wicked Lady "War Cloud" (lyrics found)
* From album: "The Axeman Cometh"
** Recorded: 1969-1972, Released: 1993
Listen closely while I tell you
You must listen while you can
Take the future in the palm of your hand
See the sunshine on this land
While the soldiers play their deadly games of war
We must plan for what will come
Hold your woman close as darkness fills your mind
After this what will we find?
Peace in our time won't come easy
The life you cherish will be gone
The fools that lead us must remember
When the bombs drop we're all gone

Wicked Lady "Out Of The Dark" (lyrics found)
* From album: "The Axeman Cometh"
** Recorded: 1969-1972, Released: 1993
I stood in the doorway
Watching with my second sight
I saw the buildings crumble
Men starting to fight
[Move out of the dark
Move into the light] 2x
I stood on the beach at midnight
Looking over the sea
I saw the water rising
Waves coming for me
[Move out of the dark
Move into the light] 2x
Looked over my shoulder
Strange sound in the night
I'm trying to get my freedom
The ropes bind me too tight
Move out of the dark
Move into the light
You know you've got to
Move out of the dark
Move into the light
Do you remember back then
When you were young?
Playing in fields of green
And the songs that you sung
[Move out of the dark
Move into the light] 2x
Everything changes now
And nothing seems real
We are all like lost people
Running round in a wheel
Move out of the dark
Move into the light
You know you've got to
Move out of the dark
Move into the light

Wicked Lady "Life And Death" (lyrics found)
* From album: "The Axeman Cometh"
** Recorded: 1969-1972, Released: 1993
Long have I waited while the spirits in me sleep
Dark is the cold night when the flesh begins to creep
Looking for shelter as the wind begins to blow
Turn around, let me see your face before I go
With long knife drawn now, I begin to realize
The mask is hidden and a voice within me cries
Face of a wounded soul, appearing through the night
Must hold on to myself, I've no desire to fight
Now it's all over, there's a sense of great relief
Seem to be floating, there's no happiness or grief
The spirits from my past arrive to take me home
I seem so empty, I'm completely on my own
