"I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
for the crime of having no dough.
Now here I am back out on the street
for the crime of having nowhere to go."

The Band - The Shape I'm In

“The Necromancer”, RUSH (1975)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEQ3-yYIvus

“Brooding in the tower
Watching o’er his land
Holding ev’ry creature
Helplessly they stand
Gaze into his prisms
Knowing they are near
Lead them to the dungeons
Spectres numb with fear
They bow defeated.”

End of my Journey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZE7z0lz_bE

I have always wanted to sing this in front of a crowd.

I have a different take on it that is somewhat Black Pentecostal.
