lyrics

------------------------------

Hold this bell tight,
Be sure to keep it quiet,
Don't want to cause no fright now, do we?
I could not withhold.
She'll soon pursue me, pursue me, pursue me

Now who let in the vagabond?
The Godless stench of self-doubt

Club-foot and clad in iron,
Oh you lamb, you lion.
This stealthy dagger's light,
Clothed in chamomile.

Now who controls the night?
I stand perplexed and wide-eyed.
Who controls the night?
I stand perplexed and wide-eyed.

But don't think much of this - invisibility, the curse of the body.

Now who's that soul survivor?
So visceral, so alive,
And flung to shore, just jetsam
On this strange and foreign land.

Now who controls the night?
I stand perplexed and wide-eyed.
Who controls the night?
I stand perplexed and wide-eyed.

But don't think much of this - invisibility, the curse of the body.

In the 7 years or his solo career he has shared the stage with most of South Africa's acclaimed guitarists, from Guy Buttery, Steve Newman and Gary Thomas, to Dan Patlansky and Albert Frost.
