w a s p - narration lyrics
i was born jonathon aaron steel, to the parents of
william and elizabeth
steel. i am a leo, born under the sign of the lion and
i was raised in a
lower middle cl-ss family with only one brother michael
whom i love
dearly. he was five years my senior. my father’s
nickname was red which i
could never understand why because his hair was sandy
blond. nevertheless,
the name stuck. so when my brother was born my father
became big red and
my brother little red. i should have known from the
first time when i
realised their special connection, that i just didn’t
fit in to my
father’s plans. and as i grew older the constant
comparison between my
brother and myself left little doubt who was the image
of perfection in my
father’s eye. to him, my brother could do no wrong and
i became the
invisible boy, the proverbial ‘black sheep’ and i soon
figured out that
red and black don’t mix. the beatings i received became
more and more
frequent to the point where i would ask my father “am i
the orphaned son
you would never need”? but oddly enough i worshipped
the ground my father
walked upon.
my brother and i were a strange mixture, as different
as daylight and
dark. looking back, it’s hard to imagine we came from
the same parents. i
sometimes wondered if we had the same father, but i
always dismissed that
idea as my mother was far too religious, my father as
well, to ever even
think of such a thing. but my brother who had always
sensed my parent’s
instilled insecurities tried his best to encourage me.
for i was born
different and he knew it. he often told me when i was
born an angel flew
over my bed and christened me with a magic wand and
said “you shall be the
one”. and i had no idea what ‘the one’ was, but as i
grew older i began to
understand. most boys put their mother on a pedestal
and worship them like
the virgin mary but with her too my relationship was
different and not for
the good. she was opinionated, uneducated, sometimes
prejudiced,
overbearing, believed everything she read, true or not,
and when it came
to religion was over-zealous to say the least. a mind
boggling combination
but she was pretty, very pretty and i would often
wonder, bordering on
complete confusion, how a person of this description
could rationalise life.
this was a series of characteristics that many times in
my life i would
look back on in bewilderment and the women i sought
after when i was older
would be nothing like her. in the pain of youth, the
misery of my neglect,
would manifest itself in many ways; depression – my
enemy, fear – my
friend, hatred – my lover, and anger – fuel for my
fire. these four
characteristics of my personality would become the
guiding force of my
life and would control everything i did or was to
become. i shall explain
later in the story about them which i call my four
doors of doom.
the mirror, the great plaything for man’s vanity. the
mirror was to
become, at times, my altar of refuge and other, my
alter ego and its
magnificent obsession with a relentless pursuit of
attention. it served as
a chilling reflection of my own wretchedness and my
greatness. it was the
one place i could go to see inside myself, to find
love, in an otherwise
loveless household where i could be great, where i
could be anything or
anyone i wanted to be – one hundred percent pure
escapism until i
discovered its precious secret. the mirror lives, it
breathes, it talks,
it lies, it has a personality all its own. it is a
genie that grants all
the wishes you could ever dream, at least in my case –
all except two.
it was my 14th birthday, the day that changed my life
forever. my brother
michael, the one person who was my guiding light, my
friend, my hero, was
killed by a drunk driver in a head-on collision. he
died instantly. i
couldn’t even bring myself to go to his funeral. my
agony was so great i
just couldn’t come face to face with him that one last
time. my failure to
attend intensified my parents’ resentment for me even
more. but from that
moment on, nothing seemed to matter, especially that
living h-ll called
‘home’. for one year after his death i roamed the
streets in a fog barely
conscious of anything or anyone. i discovered alcohol,
and girls, drugs
and in general a life i had never known which was
exciting, frightening
and wonderfully dangerous. and it was then as i
staggered through a down
town city street in one of my drunken rages i stumbled
across a small
music shop and in the window stood the instrument, the
fiery tool that
would become the object of my new found desire. the
instrument of my
p-ssion, my obsession, the blood-red six string. it was
like i’d known
the thing all my life.
i soon found it was the only way i could truly express
myself. it was a
way to vent all my frustrations and all my pain –
completely opened all my
four doors of doom and i found myself going to the
mirror for counsel less
and less. because of this my songs seemed to write
themselves and i knew
my destiny was in my music but i was going to have to
get out of this
backwards town i was in if i was ever going to succeed.
i was 16 going
nowhere and the only thing my parents knew was ‘live,
work, die. ‘ and if i
stayed there that was exactly what was going to happen
to me – i was gonna
die. so i ran away to the big city with the lights,
excitement and danger
and a chance for me to finally live and do my music
without the
persecution i had known for so long. i hitchhiked all
the way with a
suitcase in one hand and my guitar in the other and as
i stood at the edge
of the city the magic of the place was incredibly
intense. it was to be my
new home the place i would call the ‘arena of
pleasure’. i lived and
struggled in the arena for two years trying to get a
break in music and
make a record and that’s when i ran across a delightful
business man named
charlie. he had been a lawyer for 25 years before he
discovered he could
f-ck over more people in the recording industry then he
ever could in a
court of law and he was the president of one of the
biggest record
companies in the world. the music business to charlie
was nothing more
than a sacrificial lamb to be led to slaughter and the
weapon of choice
was his record company that he’d wield like a mighty
sword. the great tool
he would lovingly refer to as ‘the chainsaw’. the
morgue, charlie said,
was the music business where everyone sells out. where
all the artists
will eventually wh-r- themselves to commercialism, the
place where the
music comes to die. and through him i learned
everything i needed to know
about the music business and even things i didn’t want
to know. he said he
could make me a star, one of the biggest things the
world had ever seen.
the big time was calling and i was on my way. he
introduced me to an
aspiring young manager named alex rodman and together
we took on the whole
f-cking world and kicked it square in the -ss.
just before the release of my first alb-m i was sitting
on the steps in
front of my apartment when a gypsy woman p-ssed by. she
stopped and asked
me if i would like my fortune read and i had never had
it done so i was
more than happy to say yes. she revealed a deck of
tarot cards and began
to tell me of my past in which she went into great
detail about the pain
of my youth, my brother and my parents. she saw my
present with my great
struggle to succeed and fulfillment of my dreams and
new found happiness
but after about ten minutes she stopped and i wanted to
know of my future
and pleaded for her to go on and finally she spoke. she
showed me a very
disturbing vision of where i was going. i told her that
i wanted a
phenomenal wealth and fame and in the cards she saw a
fallen hero and
looked at me and said “be careful what you wish for –
it might come true,
for the face of death wears the mask of the king of
mercy”. i asked her if
she was sure of what she had seen and with a blank
stare she turned and
walked away leaving me with the cards and a haunting
that would follow me
the rest of my life.
success agreed with me with amazing ease. the more
records i sold the more
excess i had of everything – friends, money, women,
cars, houses. it was
at one of my nightly hedonisms where a flash individual
entered the room.
he introduced himself as the doctor. i asked him what
kind of doctor and
he smiled and said, “meet my friend uncle sam”. the
mirror that was once
on the wall, my alter ego, was now talking to me from
the table and the
next three years were a blur. drugs became the new
candy and alcohol
became the new coca cola and doctor rockter was my new
best friend and i
never heard the mirror speak again until tonight.
i was at the peak of my career and the world saw me as
i had always wanted
it, the idol, the great crimson idol. now i had
everything it seemed,
everything but the one thing that would have meant more
to me than
anything. the pain that manifested itself into my
obsession, the
acceptance of me by my father and mother, who i had not
spoken to since
i had left home.
one morning my manager alex came in and broke up one of
our nightly easy
rider parties. an easy rider party was when everybody
would come over to
my house, the band, the doctor, hot and cold running
women etc. and we’d
watch the movie and do everything going on the film
only a lot more. and
he threatened to leave me if i didn’t clean up. it was
not that he cared
about me as a person he was only interested in my
talent and what i could
do to further his own career as a true showbiz mogul.
but it was then i
realised just how far things had gone. so i sat there
alone in my palace
of pain and i was just numb from the alcohol and the
drugs but equally as
intoxicated by my own fame and i had just enough
courage to pick up the
phone and dial the number. my mind went into a
whirlwind thinking of what
would happen and the fear overcame me and i started to
put down the phone
but before i could a voice at the other end rang out
and it sent a chill
through me that i had never known. it was my mother. it
was hard for me to
speak, my heart pounding out of my chest but when i did
i did the best i
could. she was very cold. but i knew the shock of
suddenly hearing from me
after all these years was overwhelming and i was hoping
that all the time
that had p-ssed would heal the deep wounds between my
parents and me
but… i desperately wanted them to approve of me, to
accept me – it was
all i ever wanted. i hoped my success would finally
prove my worthiness
and they would welcome the prodigal son home. all i
wanted was for them to
be proud of me but less than 50 words were spoken. the
last four were “we
have no son”.
some wounds never heal and mine had scarred me for
life. a great star fell
from the sky that night and with its descent left a
scorched path in its
way – a great path of self-destruction before burning
out. and on this
night the great finale is finally here. ‘be careful
what you wish for – it
may come true. ‘ long live, long live the king of
mercy.
