about

An epic, harmonically rich track celebrating the love of musical artists by playing them so much that the sound waves hit the constellation Ophiuchus (the snake handler), to its delight. Ophiuchus ends up joining the music fan through their black light cobra poster on the wall every time music is played from that point on.

Much of the lyrics are made up of references to some 27 different artists. See the lyrics for the code to which artists are used.

lyrics

Black Light Cobra

What breaks the sky into the atmosphere / Our collective in a song.
Our mournful nights, our headstrong fights and calm.
Ophiuchus took the energy and returned with glowing eyes.
It’s coming down. It’s all around your head.
And I'm under the spell of the Black Light Cobra.

The BLOODLETTING (Concrete Blonde) will be so clean, CINEMATICS (The Epilogues) lighting up the screen.
You’re under the spell
So DREAM BROTHER (Jeff Buckley) and PRAY YOUR GODS (Toad The Wet Sprocket),
there’s RAIN IN THE TUNNEL (Michael Lee Firkins) defying the odds and I’m under the spell.

Oh safely UNDER LOCK AND KEY (Dokken),
this RAGE FOR ORDER (Queensryche) ends in silence for me. Yet So alive
LIGHT UP THE SKY (Van Halen) and THE UNDERGROUND (Meg Myers).
HAMMER AWAY (Racer X) the mind decay, Unwind like WIRE (U2) and …

DANCING ON COALS (Bang Tango) all those WASTED YEARS (Iron Maiden)
It’s MORE THAN A FEELING (Boston) were MY LAST WORDS (Megadeth)
I fell under the spell.

She brought over some old BOC and there were FIREWORKS (Blue Oyster Cult) between her and me.

Oh LOST IN PARADISE (Evanescence) is so sweet, the SOUND OF MUZAK (Porcupine Tree) keeps the DRIVE (The cars) to so alive.
In SEASONS (Badland) of the LAUGHING BOY (Duran Duran)
YOUR’E IN LOVE (Ratt), ALL IS FULL OF LOVE (Bjork) and now WE’LL BURN THE SKY (Scorpions).

Remember live it all again
Your love wasn’t severed away …
In another time, another place.
For me, I’m begging now and I’m under the spell.
What breaks the sky into the atmosphere / Our collective in a song.
Our mournful nights, our headstrong fights and calm.
What makes you think you’ll get away?
You’ll be pursued until the end.

ST THERESA (Joan Osborne) - I’m DOWN FOR LIFE (Testament)
Oh ST. THERESA, BONE DOWN (T-Ride)
ST. THERESA around in your head.

Lion Drome Fort Collins, Colorado

Thrash lead guitarist goes modern rock-alternative with Lion Drome with the prime directive of mining the "epic" nature of songwriting. Lion_Drome has elements of upbeat U2, melancholy Porcupine Tree, romantic Jeff Buckley and 80s hard rock as well as synth pop rock ala The Cars and Duran Duran. Predictably, lead guitars get their place to shine all over Lion Drome songs. Get your headphones! ... more
