LYRICS:
I am weightless
You rebirthed a dormant ghost
Bright eyed and bushy tailed
Bound to old bones
The inner metranome
The psychic dial tone
Now hushed after years
Of no one picking up the phone

This old devil took one helluva beating
Resilient, he released this skin with a grin
Then he said, "Been fun, kid, let's never, ever do it again"
I'm finally
I'm finally
...me...

At last, may I burst into jubilant praise to assenting angels

Weightless

First mastered track off of CACTUS CROWN (Out JULY of  2018)

Written/Produced/Performed/Mixed by TRAVIS KEATS ROSS (Revel Rosz)

LYRICS:
Wasted bones
I thought I could use
Whatever keeps in line

Wasted nights
Out of view
With a howl and a bite

Whatever comes our way
You’re never gonna let it go
NO

And I concede that we’re on that line
You know

Wasted love isn’t far out of sight

Wasted love
Sold to you
Sold to me
Soul to find

What comes our way 
You’re never gonna let it grow
Wasted bones out of love, out of light

And I concede to the fruitless vines
To grow up
To bone up
To grow old


Additionally mixing/Mastered by BARRY WOOD at THE OTHER ROOM

WASTED BONES

TITULAR TRACK FROM "CACTUS CROWN" out JULY 17th, 2018.

WRITTEN/PERFORMED/ENGINEERED BY TRAVIS KEATS ROSS (REVEL ROSZ)

LYRICS:
“Your sins will find you out”
Screams the sullied bore
In your folklore
He thinks this desert’s for shore

And with a sooth-said haste
With his sun-bleached brain
Happily deranged
Yet perfectly sane
To exist in one space
Bitter and lamed

No Cactus Crowned
He will rue the day
And with his iron tongue
Yes, you will know his name

And with a sooth-said haste
With his sun-bleached brain
You’re home and you groan
But you can’t keep away
No, you can’t keep
 Somewhere under the dunes
The shadows still loom
You buried yours too
Somewhere under the stairs
Caught in the snare
You buried yours too
But you can’t keep away

Written/Performed/Produced by TRAVIS KEATS ROSS (www.revelrosz.com)
"COAGULA" features vocals from MARY ANTOINETTE McKEEVER (of MOON DIVISION - www.soundcloud.com/moondivisionmusic )

- LYRICS -
DISOLVA

All will be displaced
With no light or case
Burned and birthed again
Now placed amiss to do it all again

Am I immaterial?
Momento in memorial
Shades of the same sun
Never as one, never as one

With solve underway
Your fists will never sway
Stamina is thunderous
Lord of the Salt
Now remiss again

With solve underway
One must circle to embrace
All will be displaced
To unravel, to unlace
Dissolves, distill 
Dissolves distilled

COAGULA

Cast me out
I’ll loom and I’ll haunt
As a specter cursed to breath
You invoked my ghost 
And though you hiccuped and choked
Your fears now mostly reprieved
You soured the naysayers who
Told you to go it all alone

Two lights undimmed
Without or with
Brighter within
Without or with
Coagula

From Hazel to Blue
A sea change renews
Coagula
Blinking between scenes
We are what we mean
Coagula

A cactus crown blooms
Without the means to
Coagula

CACTUS CROWN 

DISOLVA y COAGULA

Track 8 from 
"CACTUS CROWN"
www.dakotaslim.bandcamp.com
released July 17, 2018 

LYRICS:

I cull from my many skins 
A new robe of calico 
And though the patchwork stems from many sins 
It’s now bonafide and sacred again 

There ain’t no more sighs 
To get up caught in this tide 
And like a good natured boy 
I haven’t been fit to foil 
Let millions more dead moons loom 

Soon they’ll come around 
Soon they’ll come around 

What a ragbag ghost this calico host 
Calico ghost 

Soon they’ll come around 
Soon they’ll come around 
They’ll come

CREDITS:

Completed on June’s Full Moon (6/28/18),

The CALICO GHOST

A possible theme for my outsider art and occult podcast, PRAGMAGICK.

http://www.pragmagick.com

This was created for an upcoming Dakota Slim E.P. but will remain an instrumental for the podcast.  I had to create new music for the podcast as I was getting copyright struck for MY OWN MUSIC used on my channel!

All samples used for the rhythm are my original ones!

YOSOTROS (Possible Pragmagick Theme)

Another demo from the forthcoming record.  The most upbeat song I've ever written about being down and out.

We're torn asunder
Let a sigil bleed
And creep me under
Come, come cast me over
Keep your thunder and
Shun all your crooked airs
Hey
Ripped, Torn Asunder
We're torn asunder
Ripped up, ho-hum
Always been under
It's just a sigil push
To huff some air

ASUNDER (Demo)

I am in the process of finalizing 8 compositions that will be the sinew tethering outstanding tracks from Vanessa Sinclair, Carl Abrahamsson, Derek Hunter, Niish, Tom Whiston, Michelle Embree, Saroth The Mage and many more.  Their tracks are the tendons of this audiomantic ritual celebrating our disparate, anarchic magicks.

I am approaching the Audio Sigil as if I was scoring an unrealized film with the submissions as major scenes.

This is a preview of one of those tethers.

"Knell" Audio Sigil Demo

HAPPY BLUEMOONOWEENHAIN!

"For the town that dreaded sundown
It's finally dawn"

happy new year, haunts

"It's Finally Dawn"  Demo

The Tether

The solo musical outlet of Revelator Keats Rosz (Travis Keats Ross) since 2003.  Haunted rock and roll, ghost folk, occult hymnals, and conceptual lyrical whimsy seem to be the only constants over numerous genre-bending and eclectic releases.
