Bob Wood's excellent lyric set to music.
This collaboration was started a while ago, but the finished result made the wait worthwhile.

Excellent performances from everyone, and again a special shout out to Nick for the wonderful mixes. It was especially nice to have Nick on guitars.

Two versions are posted, one with NickT's guitar solo, and other with Morsekode's cool guitar solo.

Intro: Em/G/C/A (E then E B A G then G A then C A
Verse 1
Em                           G
Step away from ambition
                    C                            C   A
before it steals your soul
          Em                 G
with greedy implications
                    C                            C   A
that soon will take control

Verse 2
Disregarding bad intention
before you try to play
without an intervention
you have to step away

Chorus 1:
D                                                                   G
The world has become a roll of the dice
                                       G
sometimes you get lucky
                                           C
sometimes you think twice
     Bm                                                                 
A chance for a game or a game of chance
   G                             C            B
a risky change of circumstance....

Break: Em/Em/G/C/A

Verse 3
Look away from competition
before you lose the game
with hopeful expectations
though no-one feels the same


Chorus 2
The world has become a roll of the dice
sometimes you get lucky
sometimes you think twice
A chance for a game or a game of chance
a risky change of circumstance....


Pre-Solo chords: Em/C/B//F#//F#/C/B/Dkg
Gtr Solo: Over verse chords x 2 times

Bridge:
         F#m                                                                    D   
Just when you’re feeling at the top of your game
Bm                                                                    A   
Something stirs from below and it’s got your name
             F#m                                                                        D   
So be nice to all the people on your way to the top
                           C#m                                                           E   
Cause you’re surely going to meet them as you descend and drop

Chorus 3
The world has become a roll of the dice
sometimes you get lucky
sometimes you think twice
A chance for a game or a game of chance
a risky change of circumstance....

Chorus 4
The world has become a roll of the dice
sometimes you get lucky
sometimes you think twice
A chance for a game or a game of chance
a risky change of circumstance....

I was able to complete this even after a bit of problem with the tracks. I lost the whole fiolder but got it back  and here it is

 Paul (PVD) Lyrics
And Me with the rest of it!

The Fog (PVD)
v1)
The fog rolls in
As I’m looking out
Barely seeing
The far horizon
Shades of grey
Rest against the sky
But all I see now
Is a bigger gap

(chorus)
Like passing thoughts   
I struggle to catch you
You’re fading away
From my view
I am breathless
Chasing after you

(v3)
I’m lost in that fog
A soupy dull grey
The distance grows
And you drift away

(chorus)
Like passing thoughts   
I struggle to catch you
You’re fading away
From my view
I am breathless
Chasing after you

(bridge)
Fate has played its hand
And we both understand
But I’m sorry for our tomorrows

(chorus)
Like passing thoughts   
I struggle to catch you
You’re fading away
From my view
I am breathless
Chasing after you

Wow! Great job Nick! I couldn't even come close to that!
As always, a pleasure working with all talented people involved.
I love this place and all the awesome people that I have kept it going.
I would love to see a reunion here someday, though some aren't around anymore.
But definitely some great memories!!

Here is a complete song... It was done off site, but all involved are part of MCS. Thank you guys for all your hard work

Lyrics: Susan Simonson
Music And Vocals: Dom Mercurio
Gutars ans sax + Mix Master: Nick Testa
Bass Guitar: Andy Gupta



Love Lives On (Susan Simpson)
When leaves Fly gently in the soft wind,
And the sunrise gives me hope again,
One day I will see you in the light.
Touch your face and hold you and tight,
Feel your warmth in the dark of night,
And know the words to win this fight,
Love never makes it easy to let go,
And where ever you run it is there
Keeping you in every breath I take
And the memories always when I wake.
You're my answer still to each day,
The price of love is hard to pay.
Love lives on    transcends us now,
Life moves past the end somehow,
Always, you will be a part of me,
Forever when your face again I see.

Touch me, heal me, I feel you now,
My soul is touched, by you somehow
Touch me, hu, hu hu...heal me, ee ee ee

I really liked that.  Gave off a Slade/Wig Wam feel.
Then that breakdown...very nice!
Cool tune .
