Lyrics:
Oh one by one, they all will tumble down
Drop without a sound, six feet underground.
Oh one by one they bleed a pretty shade,
The red's never the same, pumped through artery or vein,
From blade to pills, to rope around the neck.
It's a thrill they never will forget.
From blade to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
and nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door
and I want more!

Oh one by one they all will hear the sound
of being drowned... while tied up, gagged and bound.
Oh one by one it hits them in the guts,
another couple slugs, then toss 'em in the rug.
A bag, a box or maybe in a cake,
It's a choice they never get to make
From bag to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
Oh nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door with open arms.
So show me how you bleeeeeed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door.
And I need a little more!

Yeah I need a little more!

Oh lemme have one more

I gotta have one mooooooore yeah!

Lyrics:
I made you, built, split and painted, every little ounce of my love un-wasted
Babe hush now, let's face it, you and I both know that this was ill-fated
Don't think too much or you'll end up like them, like the others in the webs, at the cellar door stairs
So take a second and take a breath slow, 'cause before you know, we go on with the show
Now dance for me... Can't you see... Everybody's waiting for your eulogy
Rip stop, tip top, rigor mortis bone drop, swaying like a corpse in my endless sea
I chose you - yes you, out of all of the others
And this time it's different... I know this time I've got a
New plan, new way now to make you stay
Pull the strings, take a bow, drop the curtains please

Dance for me, dance for me like a puppet, my dear. 
Cut the strings, cut the strings and you'll disappear
Every twitch, every breath, every move that you make 
I'll decide, I'll decide, when to break those bonds
'cause you belong to me, control you in my hands. 
Manipulate you with my symphonies.

Strings tied tight as you fight back. Think you might break free? Think you might take up the slack?
But that's crazy. Every step you take, every move you make, every little breath you're drawing in and letting out? That's me. 
Lips loose. I pull the threads, you follow. Your thoughts are hollow. Your time is borrowed 
And you don't even realize that my hand guides you. Pulling all the tides in, tides out. 
Shh, don't cry, don't shout. That's it - breathe in, breathe out, 
Don't sigh, don't pout. You know that you can run, but there's nowhere left to hide. 
I'm gonna twist your arms and I'll bend your knees. 
I'll make you beg and I'll make you plead. 
You think you're free, but you forget 
That you're my marionette. 

Dance for me. Dance for me like a puppet, my dear. 
Cut the strings, cut the strings and you'll disappear
Every twitch, every breath, every move that you make 
I'll decide, I'll decide, when to break...
Dance for me. Dance for me like a puppet, my dear. 
Cut the strings, cut the strings and you'll disappear
Every twitch, every breath, every move that you make 
I'll decide, I'll decide, when to break those bonds

Marionette ft. Gloom Darkheart

Well its 4 in the morning & I can't sleep a wink
Alone in my room, left to over think
Was it real, unclear, or something I drank
Brain still in the barrel, so it might be a mistake
But she did something to me, that I cant explain
Ash and bones, horrific moans, I barely got away

Well we met for drinks off a digital screen
Trying to get lucky if you know what I mean
A second location where things got weird
She's whispering tongues into my ears
Fell into a trance, by her siren song
Push back the vale, saw the stare, from the great beyond

She's everywhere and nowhere at the same time
Sleeps no relief she's infected my mind
A shape shifting, catfishing, magical freak
Only hear her voice when others speak
It worsens by the day, a broken paranoid
Seeped inside, fresh baptized, a gift from void

She's out on the hunt, for pray like me
All eyes our her spies, that she oversees
You can run and you can try and hide
But in the end she'll get her prize (she gets what she wants)

Yeah she's coming, yeah she's coming, yeah she's coming for you

Yeah she's coming, yeah she's coming, yeah she's coming for you and there's nothing you can do

It all starts down in the heart, it ends deep in my mind
I'll find some way to turn back time
But the voice inside told me to bide my time
Says that they'll never find out what we've done

A memory so vivid and clear
All the boxes were stacked as we settled in here
A new start for the family, a quiet kind of calm
But the shadows felt longer as days moved along
The routine was simple, but cracks in the flow
Something whispering quietly, the seeds they were sown
Late nights stressed out for work, his frustration it grew
His kids they grew louder, his marriage it soured
His power, it wavered, as influence grew
They're keeping you down, parasites upon you
And where is your wife? Probably out cheating on you
I've got the solution to take back your life
Here take this kitchen knife

It all starts down in the heart, it ends deep in my mind
I'll find some way to turn back time
But the voice inside told me to bide my time
Says that they'll never find out what we've done

Hushed as the sun goes to set
In a weathered old home all are tucked in their beds
Through the slat plaster rib cage you'll hear a sweet song
Softly hummed from the rafters as temperatures drop
Down each hallway a shadow stands just out of reach
Hinting murder and massacre all while they sleep
Now if only you could make the whispering stop
Then demons would leave and the nightmares on top
Shhh, I'm here in your mind we're alone
You and I caught in a spin its so haunting
Ethereal, spectral, and phantasmagoric
I'm the ghost in the dark and I'm all that you need
And this house wont let you leave

It all starts down in the heart, it ends deep in my mind
I'll find some way to turn back time
But the voice inside told me to bide my time
Says that they'll never find out what we've done
It all starts down in the heart, it ends deep in my mind
I'll find some way to turn back time
But the voice inside told me to bide my time
Says that they'll never find out what we've done

Lyrics:
I had a lot of friends till I drove them round the bend
and then they left me all alone and so I roam around the globe
In search of new shiny buddies, to share with them my worries
and my joys and my toys and my secret jars of poison!
I searched up high... I searched down low...
But... no matter where I look no friends began to show
and so I made a list of killers, and wrote them all letters
asking lots of friendly questions... with all the best intent they told me

Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you

I keep each letter in a box under my bed
It really rocks 'cos when I'm sad I just read all of them again
I sent them drawings done in crayon, and plans for domination
even cute little collages of their exploits from the papers.
And when they get out, we will be friends
Bestest buddies un-til the end
We'll go on picnics, with long pork sammies
But I keep thinking 'bout... What they told me

Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you
Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you

Blood and Bones ft. Gloom Darkheart (Friday the 13th Edition)

Echoing Tides

Track three on my 80's inspired LP. A Ballad this time. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

There's no spare time, no second door,
we spread our years across the table—
but they won't fold back into the time
that we have left to hold them close.

So keep your coat on, sit by me,
and say the things we saved for later—
while we still have names to call out
and breath enough to say them soft.

Nobody gets to live forever,
stay with me through the night—
and if the morning finds us here,
then hold on to me tight.

When you are gone, this room will echo,
I'll keep your cup, your chair untouched here,
and I will practice all the quiet things
you taught me how to say alone.

I'll learn the weight of empty hours,
the shape of all you've left behind here—
but while you're here, while I can reach you,
let me hold your hand in mine.

Nobody gets to live forever,
stay with me till first light—
and if grief comes to sit beside us,
we will make it right.

Nobody gets to live forever,
that was never ours to hold—
but this little while we have together,
we'll fill with all our souls.

Put your hand here, let the tears dry,
I will carry what I can—
and you just rest your weary eyes.

Nobody gets to live forever,
stay with me through the night—
this little while is ours together,
and that is still our right.

Nobody gets to live forever,
I won't ever let you go—
and if there's any road beyond this,
I will walk it slow.

Nobody gets to live forever,
nobody gets to stay—
but I am here beside you now,
and that won't fade away.

I'm here.

Nobody Gets Forever

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
