YOUR LAST DENIAL What is the stars to you? Are they just pinholes in the curtain of night? What is tears to you? Just water in my eyes? Now I know what you have seen And it ain't just a dream Shivers down my spine Caused by the liars in line It's time for me to show you who I really am Let me be the slaughter and you'll be the lamb Chorus: I see no reason for you to believe in Your Last Denial Your words are treason for me to receive and Your Last Denial What is my dreams to you? A reflection of another domain? I can see your through Like the water in my eyes The truth remain The inner rain won't leave me behind Traded thoughts result in pain and those tears made me blind And it's time for me to show you who I really am Let me be the slaughter and you'll be the lamb Repeat Chorus: And the world came tumbling down on me And the world will always be the same I wanna be where the masters fail When the world came tumbling down It came tumbling down on me WHOOPBAO! There is no one in here There's no one I will fear There is no warning here There's no one I will fear I wanna know right now! Repeat Chorus: I wanna know right now!

TUNES FOR THE STORK All through the years And the summary of your life So many tears And it cuts you like a knife But now.. Icy memories calling from above A second sky All through the wind and rain Grow like a rose You'll never know what you will find It all seems so close But you're always two steps behind But now... Write your songs and let them soar around the world Just like leaves All through the wind and rain Chorus: Tunes for the Stork Sing a song for me and Mork Tunes for the Stork Like a thousand times before Tunes for the Stork Let them sound forevermore Tunes for the Stork Open your eyes Don't be afraid of what you see So many skies Out of reach for you and me But now... Let your songs reach high above the sky The second sky And he'll be back again! Repeat Chorus: Look at the leaves they are leaving home Waiting for wind that will rock them to sleep Waiting for snow that will keep them warm Farewell! And sweet dreams Hearing the tunes as they leave the oak I'm waiting for you who will play them around Searching for you who will see the stork Fairy tales And sweet sound Spoken: The price of immortality is more than we will pay The light of life will soon go down So seize the day I think I know by now

THE AZIMUTHS OF A BRASH I am laying here alone Why leave me here? I do still recall Your burning spear I just wanna change you Once and for all Soon I'll be the one to throw your ball The avid little brock My fortitude it is no more Who's encaged in me? Trying on my own To realize Time for you to see Your paradise Walking on my mind The things I do are so unreal K is all I feel Chorus: The Azimuths of a Brash 'cause he's in here Chewing on my heart Like I am some kind of mart The Azimuths of a Brash Jabiru and the jackal Tell me once again Just say the word Choking on my limbs The wingless bird K will never leave me His possession is complete He's the one that tickles in my feet Another foolish game And once again it's all the same Just to bring me pain Chorus: The Azimuths of a Brash 'cause he's in here His spear is in my heart Tearing me apart The Azimuths of a Brash The mongrel came as dead and took the said And went away in red Dounth Sayh - You are blind! Dounth Sayh - You are blind! The skallywag was all dressed up in scarlet Trying to kill the jets Don't say you are blind! The Unicorn was rumbling out a shout Hear! The Azimuths of a Brash

Messenger 04:24
MESSENGER Deep in the dead of the night, Silhouettes on my window, why? I guess I will never know. Why the theme will come and go And I'm never gonna be the same Never gonna be the same again I know, you know the mage calling from a distant age. Chorus: Messenger of fear and pain Messenger of love Messenger of fear and pain Messenger of time Messenger of fear and pain Messenger of love Messenger of fear and pain Messenger. I stand on a wave in time, Always searching for the clouded space I guess it will never show The theme will always be the glow And I'm never gonna be the same again Never gonna be the same again I show You throw the page Stolen from the human race Repeat Chorus Face the face of heaven Caught within a spell Dreaming dreams of heaven Dreaming dreams of hell Repeat Chorus

THE FIBSTERS FICTIONLAND A giant woof build of a shadow Moving like a wraith over the land Trying to wrap up all in sight Illusions for the wand Green grass and flowers Lime trees and liars All painted in black A face in the flower Filled with devour Chorus: Now I have been where the masters fail The Fibsters Fictionland Entangled creatures thinking they are blind Following the woof They're waiting for signs The spiny soul will steal their spines And use them Using rhymes The zany of Yorkshire Armed with a fork, dear See with me Yellow is eating saffron in water green Now I have been where the masters fail The Fibsters Fictionland Inside the Fictionland You are the one Don't say that you're gone You are the one Don't say that you.. Are gone Don't say that you... Are gone

ZOETROPE (The Weirdest of Tales) I am walking in the silver rain Where the young one's free The old man's sane I am walking it alone This magic lane The sap of those who shall remain Regain the throne of redolence Unify the leprechauns and go Renew the sapid sword Welcome. They return The turbid mere will quail Chorus: Zoetrope Turning 'round in circles as we live The gyration has made it turn The tot that touched the tottery turf He's wishing it would be a birch So that he could taste the cosy bark I'm dreaming of a branch of lime. Knowing it would heal his maul Trying hard to misgive his chief. The minx a jinx with whisk?? And it is waiting to reform The torsive hedgehog won't!! Chorus: Zoetrope Turning 'round in circles as we live The gyration has made it turn Watch how it burn Oh, for how long? Do we have to wait for infinity? Oh, for how long? Do we have to wait for infinity now? Now you've heard the weirdest tale Phrases that's unentaled Now fold your rod and come along To where those tales began Go! You have taken all what you are

about

"The Weirdest of Tales" from 1991 is the third, officially released Unicorn recording. The cassette version had a painting of Salvador Dali on the cover, but because we're not really sure about the copyright laws, this digital version have a different cover, at least until we hear back from the company that is dealing with the Dali licensing. If you wanna see the Dali painting,
Just Google for "Temptation of St. Anthony"
