Formed in the Bay Area in 1966 as a teen garage group called Blue Fever, Uther Pendragon lasted from 1966 until 1978. During that time, the band went through different names and phases, as their music evolved from garage to psychedelia to hard- rock: they were known as Blue Fever, Timne, Hodological Mandala, Mandala, Kodiac, Justus, Pendragon but the core of the band remained always the same: Mark Lightcap (rhythm guitar, vocals), Bruce Marelich (lead guitar, vocals) and Martin Espinosa (bass, vocals) who after finding their ultimate drummer on Mike Beers, finally settled on the Uther Pendragon name in the early 70s.

00:11:12Now that we live, don't you know that happiness is found in you.
00:11:29Communication, just a vision, spot to rock our imaginations, build us in a confidant now.
00:11:36All I've ever thought about is not to show up if you spend the city around
00:11:41Stop your agitation, accusations, and stop taking respirations of the things about that I could
00:11:49We could try, we could try, we could try, never put a limit on friends
00:11:55But do you see the brighter side of life that we live?
00:12:01Don't you know that happiness is nothing you can't afford?

00:13:53Liberation, such evasion
00:13:55Nothing but our admiration
00:13:57For the ones who look on the bright side
00:14:00Hold on, liver, hold on, liver
00:14:02We're missing lots of things in life on our back
00:14:09We don't try, we don't try, we don't try Don't you see that this is the end?
00:14:18Don't you see the brighter side of life that we live?

00:16:32The raven cooked as she sat at her meal The old man knew what he said
00:16:40And she grew pale at the raven's care And slimmed and went to her bed
00:16:48I anointed myself with infant's fat The fiends have been my slaves
00:16:56And sleepy maids I have sucked the breath And breaking my charms asleep of death
00:17:04I have hauled the dead from the grave
00:17:13Hauled the dead from the grave
00:17:27The devil will fetch me now and fire my witchcrafts to atone
00:17:35And I will trouble the dead man's grave He'll never have rest in my home
00:17:56. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
00:18:26. . .
00:18:56Haul the dead from the grave
00:19:00The devil will fetch me now and fire my witchcrafts to atone
00:19:11And I will trouble the dead man's grave He'll never have rest in my home
00:19:20. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
00:19:25Bade the old woman of Berkeley rise, Come forth, would you master a way?
00:19:50A cold sweat started on that cold corpse, At the voice she was forced to obey.
00:19:58And the devil, he flung her on his horse, And he left up the before,
00:20:06And away like lightning speed they went, And she was seen no more.
00:20:50And away like lightning speed they went, And she was seen no more.
00:21:20And away like lightning speed they went, And she was seen no more.
00:21:50And away like lightning speed they went, And she was seen no more.
00:22:12I looked off to the north road, The north's to find it there,
00:22:20But all I saw were dead trees, And vacant stale air.
00:22:29They clouded up the blue sky, With looks of great despair.
00:22:38Ten miles to freedom, Will I find it there?
00:23:08I looked off to the south road,
00:23:36My hopes began to rise, For there I saw great beauty,
00:23:45And brightly colored lights.
00:23:49Everything was perfect, And everything was right,
00:23:58But to my mind felt sorrow, Not a living thing inside.
00:24:29And away like lightning speed they went, And away like lightning speed they went,
00:24:43And away like lightning speed they went, And away like lightning speed they went,
00:24:55And away like lightning speed they went, And away like lightning speed they went.
00:25:25And away like lightning speed they went, And away like lightning speed they went,
00:25:45And away like lightning speed they went, And away like lightning speed they went.
00:26:15And away like lightning speed they went, And away like lightning speed they went,
00:26:35And away like lightning speed they went.
00:26:52I looked off to the east road, The west road just the same,
00:27:00My mind could not distinguish, A form or even name,
00:27:08For each is but an image, Of dimensions yet untamed.
00:27:16Is this the road to freedom, Or just another game?

00:32:20Walking and thinking down the lonely streets of San Francisco
00:32:32Wandering down the alleys and the back streets north to the beach
00:32:42My soul is gone from the dark night streets, they've been bustling in behind me
00:32:48Screams are coming, look in my mind, may I let you run and be locked up in time, locked up in time
