Lyrics: 

Surrounded by chaos, 
Heroic demise
It’s time – time to rise
Our names will live forever,
Forever out of time
Live for today
Join the final fight

Rise, samurai!
Blades slash through lies
As the bullets fly
Ignite the city of night 
This is our fight
There’s victory in death
If you know when to die

We walk the razor’s edge
With death by our side
We will never be alone
Forever out of time

Rise, samurai!
Tempered by our trials
With steel in our spine
Never bow to fear
Our names will never die
Ignite the city of night,
Join the final fight!

Rise, Samurai! (Hobocop & Cosmic Keanu) VIDEO AVAILABLE

“There was once a scorpion who ate other insects, but perished in a well after escaping a weasel; the scorpion then regretted and its body burst into a bright flame that still burns in the night sky for the happiness of life,” as Giovanni described the flame of scorpion in Japanese fantasy novel Night on the Galactic Railroad. This composition, an epitaph to the scorpion in the night sky, explores the idea of “burn” by experimenting with different gestures and textures. It was composed in the year 2020, and was revised in 2022.

Lyrics:

All grows dim, time is winding down
My cheeks stay hovered over a puddle of brown
The voices outside of this cramped little box
These choices i've made to breed these cramped up blocks

The shit bubbles burst and trap all the flies
A concoction so twisted, Only someone like Bill Nye
Can decipher all these lies
Can scythe all of these cries
as this pit of stench boils in the middle of July

Out there the souls, eager for pressure to burst
Through their minds like a submarine tank submersed
Parades gather in the grass for the show to start
While these waves slowly rip my brain apart

A wetness caresses my hang lo mein
This water is rising am I going insane?
It tickles my demons but it feels so ripe
There's always a bit of shit at the end of the pipe!

I'm in a fecal position where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
Where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
The slimy hand of stench, Pulls me right down
In a puddle of madness, many shades of brown
NO NO NO NO NOOO!
Get a little taste of the waste in the swamp!

All'incontrario

words and music K. Gennery
For Lauren.

one step at a time moves you a little closer
to the white winning line not so far for you to go now

were willing you on to break the tape
smash the record experience the roar of the crowd
enjoy the occasion embrace the adulation

whether a babies crawl or a giants stride
 doesnt matter which you take
when the destinations happiness
make sure you get there in the end

i could feel it as we talked see it in those beautiful blue eyes
you have so much to give all to live for
no more suffering raise your own family
go travel the world
this dedication is a celebration of life
this dedication is a celebration of life

One step at a time

one step at a time

■概要(Overview)
あなたは何も言わずに行ってしまった。
・・という感じの曲です。
ちょっとボーカルが大きいかな？修正するかもしれません。
今回は楽器を減らしてシンプルにしました。

You left without saying anything.
It's a song that feels like...
Is the vocal a little louder? I might fix it.
This time, I reduced the number of instruments and made it simple.

■歌詞
もう二度と　あなたはここに来ることは無いわ
私には　引き留めておくものが無かったの

綺麗なものが　あふれているわ
誰もがそれを　求めて歩くの
この頃　よくわかってきたの

あなたに貰った帽子も
二人でそろえた食器も
古めかしく見えた

どこへでも好きな場所へ
美しい人のもとへ行けばいい


この部屋に　あなたがいない理由を探して
もうずっと　見つけられずに　苦しんでいたの

私の言葉　あなたを事を
傷つけたなら　謝りたいけど
この頃　よくわかってきたの

あなたが残した笑顔も
二人で過ごした時間も
可愛らしく思えた

どこへでも好きな場所へ
正しい人のもとへ行けばいい

美しい人のもとへ・・
正しい人のもとへ・・

■ Lyrics (Google translation)
You will never come here again
I had nothing to hold you back

Beautiful things abound
everyone walks in search of it
I've come to understand these days

the hat you gave me
Matching tableware for two
they looked old

wherever you want
you should go to a beautiful person


I'm looking for the reason you're not in this room
I've been suffering from not being able to find the answer for a long time

if my words hurt you
i would like to apologize for that
But these days I've come to understand

The smile you left behind
The time we spent together
I thought it was lovely

wherever you want
go to the right person

To a beautiful person
to the right person...

Goodbye

Tequila
He takes a sip and lets it gnaw
On dreams that never will take form
He's slippin' away

Morning light
The new day ends another night
Of nothing but another fight
That takes him away

He never knows the plans he should make
Or chances that his heart wants to take
He's heard it all before 
But not anymore
It's slippn' away

No reply
His efforts never get him by
So baby don't you even try
He's slippn' away

Sweet Charlotte
He gives it everything he's got
Then orders them another shot
She turns him away

He never knows the plans he should make
Or chances that his heart wants to take
He's heard it all before 
But not anymore
It's driftin’ away

Albatross 
It's like a train you can't get off
He's sees the stop but not the cost
Of slippin’ away

Slippin' Away

SANCTUARY

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere
 
Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
Old friends, no more these sounds! 
Let us sing more cheerful songs 
More full of joy! 
More full of joy!
Joy, bright spark of divinity, daughter of Elysium 
Fire-inspired we tread thy Sanctuary 
Sanctuary…

Joy!

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere

Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
All you millions, I embrace you 
Well this kiss is for all the world
And you millions, oh I embrace you all
This kiss is for everyone 
All the world…
