Beware of Darkness Lyrics

Watch out now
take care beware
of thoughts that linger
winding 'round inside your head
and the pain that often lingers
in the dead of night
in the dead of night
beware of darkness
Watch out now
take care beware
of greedy leaders
who take you where you should not go
while weeping at the cedars
in the dead of night
in the dead of night
beware of sadness
It can kill you
it can hurt you
make you sore
and what is more
that is not what you are here for
Watch out now
take care beware
of soft shift shufflers
they're dancin' down the sidewalk
while each unconscious sufferer
wanders aimlessly
in the dead of night
beware of darkness - it can kill you
beware of darkness - it can cut you down
beware of darkness

note about the song from neal:
"yes, beware of darkness was written by george harrison, the ex-beatle. it is the first cut on the 'all things must pass' album. [actually, it's the tenth track off the first disc] we decided to open the album with it because of the fanfare beginning, and it's the title track 'cause it sounds cool; and works nicely with 'the light'. it's been covered by a lot of people including leon russell and concrete blond, and i had actually never heard the george harrison version 'til we were mixing our album and the engineer brought it to the studio. i was/am really into the leon russell version off the 'shelter people' album."

Spock's Beard is a progressive rock band formed in 1992 in Los Angeles by brothers Neal and Alan Morse. Neal (keyboards/vocals) and Alan (guitars) were joined by fellow musicians Nick D'Virgilio (Nick D'Virgilio, drums - also known as NDV) and Dave Meros (bass), and were later joined by veteran keyboardist Ryo Okumoto.

Spock's Beard play a brand of progressive rock with pop music leanings, drawing much influence from Genesis and the Beatles. They are also well known for their intricate multi-part vocal harmonies and use of counterpoint much in the vein of Gentle Giant. They've released records like the acclaimed The Kindness of Strangers and V before releasing the epic concept album Snow, which also marked the departure of leader and main composer Neal Morse for a solo career as a Christian artist.

After the departure of Neal Morse, the frontman role was taken on by Nick D'Virgilio. The 'new' lineup has released four more studio albums: Feel Euphoria, Octane, Spock's Beard and X.
On tour, the band is supported by drummer Jimmy Keegan, leading to occasional drum duets/duels between him and Nick D'Virgilio (which can be compared to Phil Collins and Chester Thompson at Genesis concerts; drummer Collins also took the lead singer role, after original frontman Peter Gabriel left the band).

On November 21, 2011 news was announced that Nick D'Virgilio would discontinue working with the band (due to his work commitments with "Cirque du soleil"), with Ted Leonard (former Enchant and Thought Chamber) replacing him on vocals and former tour drummer Jimmy Keegan replacing him on drums permanently.

The band was named for the Star Trek episode "Mirror, Mirror," where the crew enters a parallel universe in which the parallel Mr. Spock is differentiated by his beard. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
