Diceman - Lyrics - Taramis
Taramis was an Australian heavy metal music group, which began as Prowler in 1983. Initially they played covers of other artists' work, in 1985 they developed more original material and changed their name. By that time their line-up was Dave Browne on drums, Shane "Joel" Southby on lead vocals, Danny Komorr on bass guitar, and Craig Robertson on lead guitar. Their debut album, Queen of Thieves, was released in August 1987. A second album followed in April 1992, Stretch of the Imagination, and the group supported Brazilian band, Sepultura, at their Melbourne concert in July. Taramis disbanded early in 1993. Australian rock music historian, Ian McFarlane, noted they were "one of the first local groups to play a brand of 'progressive' heavy metal in the style of overseas acts ... Taramis infused its esoteric music with an epic, mystical feel. Man-mountain frontman Joel Southby also possessed a booming rock voice which added an edge to the band's billowing, blustering song arrangements".
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
I roll a single dice
a memory in my mind seems to turn
as I'm running from the dice I roll, watch it roll
searching just another life to lead
I roll the dice again
on the table of our lives I feel I want to die
what is this I ask you
have I come too far to roll the dice
now I kick the table to the floor, will I die
Searching round inside, side by side
I roll the dice again
throwing on the table
I don't if I die
round and round I throw to find my life
roll the dice again
as I search inside to find the meaning of the dice
Now it's almost gone, because I know
the chance is here with me
as I roll again, an image of a man
who died like me
What is my life, I feel like dying inside
my life has now escaped from me
now I find out who I've been
can't you see I need the dice to live
Searching as I do, and as I do, the dice it seems to glow
the way I let the dice take control, control me
as I roll again, the dice seems to take control of me
pulling up the table, no help, please help me
round and round, I throw to find my life
roll the dice again
as I search inside to find the meaning to the dice
