1.	The Maze 04:37	lyrics	buy track
The Maze Each corner turns to greet me A pathway to my soul With walls so high, they touch the sky Through years I can't control This place I'm in astounds me It never seems to end This is my Maze These are my days If I could change the way I go Be part of times I'll never know This maze would be the proper choice To follow blindly, it's soundless voice This place I'm in, It astounds me It seems to never end This is my Maze These are my days, No purple haze I'm on the inside looking in Wide lines are growing thin Inside this Maze, there's no purple haze This is my Maze, these are my days This place I'm in astounds me It never seems to end This place I'm in astounds me It never seems to end This is my Maze These are my days No purple haze These are my days Inside this Maze
2.	Mama Rock 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Mama Rock Never waste a minute Never changed your style Always full of life Always wore a smile She could tell stories Like they happened yesterday Gave your love to all No one was turned away People come and go You’ll never leave When it’s all said and done You go on You could tell stories Like they happened yesterday Gave your love to all No one was turned away You’ve seen so much Now your at peace Goodbye Momma Rock
3.	Sad and Lonely 06:26	lyrics	buy track
Sad and Lonely Couldn't help but see you A sad and lonely face Standing in the doorway To a sad and lonely place Heard you softly weeping Sad and lonely cries You turned and looked right through me Through sad and lonely eyes You looked right through me You looked right through me Your looking through me You looked right through me Didn’t plan to know you Your sad and lonely tale Hiding in your sorrow A sad and lonely veil I have no words to say to you No soothing lines to give In sad and lonely times like this Sometimes it’s hard to live Just a sad and lonely soul like you A sad and lonely world You looked right through me You looked right through me Your looking through me You looked right through me No need to be alone tonight Don’t try to walk away Sometimes it’s hard to push ahead Start another day Won’t you Take my hand Hold it tight Let sad and lonely fade away drift into the night Just a sad and lonely soul like you A sad and lonely world
4.	RTZ 2 04:15	lyrics	buy track
RTZ Motion is needed Push at my back Look what we’re doing What do we lack? If by touching, we all can agree Nothing can stop us ! If It’s not finished, don’t turn around Look what we’ve done We’ve covered some ground Finding a place That’s right for me Falling through space..... RTZ Quiet and peaceful So easy to fail Look what we’re doing We’re the head not the tail! No matter how hard, or long it will be We got it rolling! When chasing the finish start at the end Theres no turning back No curves in the bend Time has been wasted But now we can see Over that hill..... RTZ Finding a place, that’s right for me Falling through space..... RTZ
5.	There Are Times 04:34	lyrics	buy track
There Are Times There are times when you feel What your living's not real And the answers you seek can't be found As the day's turn to years All the joy's all the tears No going back, back around Emotions you live All the love that you give There are times There are times There are times when we rest With our faith put to test And our dreams seem so hard to find All the goodness we taste All the moments we waste On things that treat us so unkind Emotions you live All the love that you give There are times There are times All through it all When you stumble or fall You still can’t believe that you’re wrong
6.	Popcorn Dreams 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Popcorn Dreams Slipping thru madness, falling thru time Looking for light, it's so hard to find Visions astound me, illusions a tease Portals come quickly now, adrift on a breeze Like well worn shoes that fit so well Friends never die We're in we're out in between Waving good-bye Popcorn Dreams A pale looking face, invading my space Granting his curses, giving them place Nobody speaks names that I know It's not what it seems We're in we're out, in between Waving good-bye to Popcorn Dreams Popcorn Dreams Another day of Popcorn Dreams Waving good-bye Another night of buttered screams Smearing the sky Popcorn Dreams

8.	Bow to the King 2 07:34	lyrics	buy track
Bow to the King, He's marching down the aisle His subjects start to scream, They've waited quite a while The King is dressed in red, His fist are hard as lead He's waited months to meet, The man he's going to beat Bow to the King! He slowly steps inside, Across the canvas hide He hears the bell to fight, He's blinded by the light Bow to the King! The King begins to move, His movements are so smooth The man moves to his right, His eye's are filled with fright The King connects a right! The man is turning white! A jab has crushed his jaw, The man begins to fall In fifteen seconds flat, He's put him on the mat The man is counted out, The King has won the bout As the bell begins to ring, The crowd salutes their king With fist up high, they jab the sky, He's won again they sing! Bow to the King! He's won again! Bow to the King! He's won again!
9.	Love Sonnet 2 03:21	lyrics	buy track
Love Sonnet 2 Time honored dreams Can be reality Changing to now What was before Love is ever at it's height Love is Yes when it's right When one Loves His Life is still His dreams and wishes all come true Beneath the stars of scented sky's My arms reach out to hold The warmth of Love with all it's sighs The Love that I must hold Love can be a mounting sound Expanding till hearts grow full Love can be a friendship found Love can turn the fire cool! A smile a touch Can soften any heart No matter who or where we are Love’s a gift we hold each day Turn your face it slips away
10.	413 04:48	lyrics	buy track
413 Dressed in gothic sorrow I watch them slowly pass Wearing years of torment Like vestments to a mass Wretched Land, hell on earth It's people bowed in shame Relentless years of grooming Have seared them like a flame Three hours till destruction The speakers blared on high They’ll be a huge reduction Three hours till we die No protest lines No threatening crowds Their doom would be unseen Liquidation 413 Trembling faces Wild eyes and fearful stares Little eyes were crying And weeping filled the air Escape was not an option But some still chose to fight Without a chance of victory The slaughter took all night Three hours till destruction The speakers blared on high They’ll be a huge reduction Three hours till we die No protest lines No threatening crowds Their doom would be unseen Liquidation 413

Eve of the End A spectacular view A world of our own Looking like giants Tasting the sweet Our minds are in focus Our pleasure discreet It’s the eve of the end We stand tall on a hill Playing our song Touching the clouds Looking down Waiting is over The taunting had stopped Looking like giants We ride with the strong This must be heaven All doubts are proven wrong It’s the eve of the end We stand tall on a hill Playing our song Touching the clouds Looking down This must be heaven All doubts are proven wrong It’s the eve of the end We stand tall on a hill Playing our song Touching the clouds Looking down
13.	In This Time of Mine 04:44	lyrics	buy track
In This Time of Mine In this time of mine Let my voice be heard Calling loud from the crowd There’s power in a word In this time of mine Let me speak words of truth Truth is hard to find Through it all In this time of mine Let me love with all my heart Love is hard to find Through it all When I see dark clouds Drifting high in the sky, They will all soon pass They will all pass by In this time of mine In this time of mine

Isle of Hope Like an angel gently calling, She beckons me Lost in the distance of another life, My destiny The Isle of Hope, The Isle of Hope Skid away Drift away across the water Skid away to the Isle of Hope Adrift upon a tender wind I hear her whispering Spend your life Be here with me Make it so Let it be Skid away across the water Skid away to the Isle of Hope Like an angel gently calling She cries to me Skid away across the water Skid away to the Isle of Hope Skid away to the Isle of Hope Spend your life Be here with me Make it so Let it be Skid away Drift away

about

BANG Dallas, Texas

Surely one of the most unsung bands in the history of American hard rock music, BANG released three full-length albums for Capitol Records in the early 70’s, that criminally sank without a trace. Capitol artist development at the time just did not know what to do with the band that was often called America’s answer to Black Sabbath. ... more

Stoner rock/metal with a classic rock filter with intelligence. Great song and timing structures, heavy, big catchy riffs. Vocals are in the level. This album definitely has more of an edge compared to their follow-up album, but it's not even fair to compare one album with another of the same artist when they evolve. Can't go wrong at all picking either/or both albums up here on Ripple 💀💀💀 😵😵😵 ©ough©ool
