Man & Madame Mystery Copyright Rolf G Riley all rights reserved One day you look at me Next day you turn from me Can’t be no smoke Without fire Sometimes you’re loving me Mostly you’re killing me Break through this agony Liar Go eat your heart Man of mystery  What did you take from me Man of mystery What did you learn from me Don’t talk to me that way You can’t hide from what you say This road is taking me Higher Take what you want from me Spit out what you don’t need Each little part of me The Carcass on which you feed Go eat your heart Oh Man of mystery What did you want from me  Man of mystery  You will remember me  Man of mystery What will you ever be Man of mystery Take back your memory Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Go eat your heart You better run for cover You’ll never find another Eat out your heart Oh Madame mystery  What did you take from me Man of mystery What did you learn from me Madame mystery What did you want from me  Oh Man of mystery  You will remember me  Take what you want from me Spit out what you don’t need Each little part of me The Carcass on which you feed

Who's there? Copyright Rolf G Riley all rights reserved (Dark night pre morning) It's time to turn from their night And dance in your light (Starlight no warning) The timing is so right Just talk to me tonight (Night time dark shadow) 'Cos you are more than just one life You've been such a lonely child (Eyes closed time frozen) It's no surprise that you cried (Mother Mother Mother) Who's there Come out if you dare Who's there I'm here watching over you I'm here whatever you do I'm here watching over you I'm here whatever you do (Dark night pre morning) In time you'll open all these doors And take back what's yours (Starlight no warning) You will not lose this fight It's just the dark of night (Night time dark shadow) I am morning I am light as I touch your broken mind (Eyes closed time frozen) As you seek you will find (Mother Mother Mother) who's there come out if you dare who's there I'm here watching over you I'm here whatever you do I'm here watching over you I'm here whatever you do Can you hear me I can't see you Can you feel me As you haunt me tonight Can you hear me I can't see you Can you feel me As you haunt me tonight I'm here watching over you I'm here whatever you do I'm here watching over you I'm here whatever you do It's time to turn from their night And dance in your light The timing is so right Just talk to me tonight 'Cos you are more than just one life You've been such a lonely child It's no surprise that you cried Tonight

I've seen God and God's seen me Now you've seen my fall from grace Can you help me leave this place Tonight I've seen the light in front of me The life I miss returned in one kiss Lie tonight forever Outside the storm of life Fall from grace Now I've seen your fall from Grace Fall from grace Now it's time to leave this place I hide behind my mask of lace As darkness falls across your face A passion burned into this ground Where life and love no more can be found Lie tonight forever Outside the storm of life Fall from grace Now I've seen your fall from grace Fall from grace Now it's time to leave this place I've seen God and Gods seen me I've known love and destiny One last dance you never know On your own you've got to go Lie tonight forever Outside the storm of life Fall from grace Passion burned into this ground Fall from grace Life and love no more can be found Fall from grace I'm safe behind this mask of lace Fall from grace Now I've eased you from this place Fall from grace

Starlight 03:58
I heard nothing I saw nothing Just the writing on the wall I felt nothing I had nothing Only hope as I recall those words washed over me while I knew nothing I loved nothing Just the writing on the wall Starlight Moons so bright Golden leaves On a cold autumn breeze Shatter like ice As rivers turn to streams And children's dreams Whatever they mean Are just writing on the wall I wrote nothing I read nothing Just the writing on the wall I said nothing It meant nothing Only hope as I recall those words washed over me while I chose nothing I changed nothing Just the writing on my wall Starlight Moons so bright Golden leaves On a cold autumn breeze Shattered like ice As rivers turned to streams And children's dreams Whatever they mean Are just Starlight Moons so bright Golden leaves On a cold autumn breeze Shattered like ice As rivers turned to streams And our children's screams Whatever they mean Are just writing on their walls

Copyright Rolf G Riley all rights reserved I turned around and took a look where all around the ground had shook behind me was another place standing still in time and space There's nothing left behind the stare a little child who isn't there there's nothing more that I could do the day they came for me & you And all along that broken street where you & I we used to meet people screaming everywhere the stench of death and burning hair I try to speak but no one hears 'been part of me for all these years memories fade but I'm still there that little child behind the stare I walk upon this hallow'd ground where those that fell were never found behind me was that other place it's still here in time and space and I remember New York yes I remember New York I remember New York I turned around and took a look where all around the ground had shook there's nothing left behind the stare a little child who isn't there People screaming everywhere the stench of death and burning hair I walk upon this hallow'd ground where those that fell were never found and I remember New York yes I remember New York I remember New York Yes I remember New York I walk upon this hallow'd ground where those that fell were never found I turn around and walk away I've done it now, no more to say 'cos I remember New York I can't forget New York

Dear Lady 04:21
You can't hear me You can't see me I've been hiding Since you watched me fry As I was dancing You were laughing She was crying As you heard me die Dear Lady Can you save me Come and ease my pain for me Dear lady God will pay thee If you feed my child For me Dear Lady Come and ease my pain for me Caught you sleeping You arn't dreaming I've been waiting Since the day you lied As your Sun sets I will take you I'll be laughing As you say goodbye Dear Lady Can you save me Come and ease my pain for me Dear Lady God will pay thee If you feed my child for me Dear lady can you save me Oh Can you save me Oh Dear Lady Dear lady Come and ease my pain for me

Take what you want Steel what you need Everything's legal When there's mouths to feed So tear me all apart And break my heart I'm not a thief I'm not a priest I'm just a man who feeds the beast Just holding out for hope so I can cope Still I fight Still I cry alone at night Still I fight Still I cry alone alone at night Still I fight I still fight Take what you want Steel what you need There ain't much faith in a heart that bleeds Just holding out for hope so I can cope I'm not a prince I'm not a king I'm just a man who lost everything So tear me all apart and break my heart Still I fight Still I cry alone at night Still I fight Still I cry alone alone at night Still I fight I still fight I'm not a thief I'm not a priest I'm not a prince And I am not a king I'm just a man who lost everything But I'm not a creep And I'm not a freak Still I fight Still I cry alone at night Still I fight Still I cry alone alone at night Still I fight Still I cry alone at night Still I fight Still I cry alone at night Still I fight I still fight

Let it go 03:36
Tell me what you know and I will let it go It's dark tonight And cold inside A living hell where once was light Inside this mind I lived a lie So much time got left behind So I just wonder What I had to do When I still hungered For every part of you Just tell me what you know so I can let it go Tell me what you know and I will let it go It's time to leave These memories Their darkness haunts me constantly As I perceive What's next for me My eyes they bleed incessantly And I still wonder What I had to do When I still hungered For every part of you Just tell me what you know so I can let it go Tell me what you know and I will let it go Just tell me what you know so I can let it go Tell me what you know and I will let it go Just tell me what you know so I can let it go Tell me what you know and I will let it go Just tell me what you know so I can let it go Tell me what you know and I will let it go And I still wonder What I have to do So I don't wonder Just tell me

Last night when I told you my stories of life you said I don't need your memories your hatred and lies So I stood there not listening to a word you said My anger kept boiling up inside my head Don't laugh at me don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh Don't laugh at me 'Cos you can't feel the hurt in me When you laugh at me I turned walked away and left you behind I thought you'd be kind of different Thought you'd be kind They warned me they told me Don't waste your time But I thought I knew better I'd make you mine Don't laugh at me don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh Don't laugh at me at me 'Cos you can't feel the hurt in me Don't laugh at me don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh Don't laugh at me 'Cos you can't heal the pain in me If you laugh at me Oh Oh you'll never know Oh Oh why I let you go Don't laugh at me don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh Don't laugh at me 'Cos you can't feel the hurt in me Don't laugh at me don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh Don't laugh at me 'Cos you can't heal the pain in me Don't laugh at me don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh Don't laugh at me 'Cos you just feed the shame in me When you laugh at me

Life sometimes it gets crazy But I just thought that maybe We'd worked that out Live each and every minute And thank God you're still in it To live this life But what's life you say It's just a game we play Don't throw it away Live every single day And we all live together One way in One way out But we can't live forever There's one way in Just one way out Life can get complicated It's only what we make it So go live life Hope peace and love and laughter Don't live in the hereafter Live this life What's life you say Well it's the price you pay To turn away And never seize the day And we all hope together One way in One way out And we all laugh together There's one way in Just one way out And we all love together One way in One way out 'Cos we can't live forever There's one way in Just one way out What's life you say well It's just a game you played

Featuring the haunting vocals of Dawne Pickersgill & the song writing & melodic fast lead guitar of Rolf G Riley, Man & Madame Mystery delivers.

Each song is born out of personal experience, dreams, or just plain old imagination & presented in Bonny R's unique style.

From the heavy rock with a difference title track, to the bewitching acoustic tale of Dear Lady, the road smash inspired WTF, to the Day they came for Me & You a moving tribute to a 9/11 fire fighter, Bonny R's thirteen song self produced Heavy Rock album is not to be missed.
