nicely driven by the bass line........cool lyrics!.......we love to see them fall, but someone else always takes their place........it almost sounds like you knew this person!

This is dope man. Love that bass line, and vocals are sick. Nice work

High energy potential!!  Potentially energetic!!!   Precursor of intriguing inner feelings and thoughts!!!

Crossing time-zones
Godforsaken deserts
Midnight in transit stations
The illusion of freedom
Written in blood written in stone

It's just an idea
It's just an idea

The twisted wreck
Of a helicopter gunship
A distant call to prayer
Sweet liquorice and bitter cigarettes

It's just an idea [...]

He carries her in his heart
She's all he had now all he has
White knuckles holding fast
His mother's photograph in a young man’s hands

Now everything is lost
Now everything is lost

They say half the future’s buried in the past
But the fallen will not weep for us
When it’s our time to choose

It's just an idea [...]

Sweet Licorice And Bitter Cigarettes (with Wheelwright)(Fictive Sisters)

Jo and I teamed up on this tune. To rethink and remake it. Jo felt that this song could be taken as an Allegory for what is happening in the Ukraine and all wars. 
His lovely (Russian) Rav Vast Rhythms are meant as a poignant reminder That "Governments are the war makers."  ALL OF US are trying to survive our governments.

Jo also produced the haunting voicings and  the wonderful   water wind and birds from a natural recording. 
A heartfelt thank you to jo for this. see his other works at "Sonic Structures and Silent Stretchs" Peace.

Hawk Caught a Rabbit: Make Music not War. Featuring Jo Richter

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

It was an honor and a pleasure to sing to the sound of a delightful composition by two wonderful artists such as Debra Buesking(@debra_buesking) on piano and David Dunham(@david-dunhamuser589535203) on guitar. Thanks for this priceless opportunity.
Below the Italian / English lyric

Dimmi dove sei
Torno a casa e non ti trovo più
Le tue calze sopra il letto
Sempre accesa la TV

Non dimentico 
Le tue promesse in bilico
e le domeniche
Sempre spese solo dove decidi tu
Forse ho il cuore troppo piccolo
Per lasciarti la tua libertà
casca il mondo 
quando te ne vai

Mille baci e poi
All’improvviso il vuoto fra di noi 
Non so perché rimango appeso qui
Il tuo canto mi ha ingannato 
e come Ulisse mi salverò
Ma poi ricadrò
nella tua tela ancora

Sei sparita ormai
irraggiungibile
ma è sicuro io ti troverò per dirti che
che non mi arrendo e voglio solo te
Puoi scommetterci
Vorrei sentire ancora i brividi
Mentre stringo la tua mano
 per non lasciarti più
………………..
Dimmi dove sei 


Tell me where you are
I come home and I can't find you anymore
Your socks over the bed
Still on the TV

I do not forget
Your promises in the balance
and Sundays
Always spending only where you decide
Maybe my heart is too small
To leave you your freedom
the world falls
when are you leaving

A thousand kisses and then
Suddenly the void between us
I don't know why I'm hanging here
Your singing deceived me
and like Ulysses I will save myself
But then I'll fall back
in your web again

You're gone now
unattainable
but it's sure I'll find you to tell you that
that I'm not giving up and I just want you
you can bet
I wish I could still feel the chills
As I hold your hand
  not to leave you anymore
……………… ..
Tell me where you are

Drop down from the city walls
Hack the camera protocols
The Five 0 making blue light turns
Just hold your breath as the rubber burns
Tread quiet on the broken glass
I Heard your pals turned midnight mass
Shots fired on the 18th floor
Statistic in a post-code war

Feds clocking is your cover blown
Texts buzzin from a spare trap phone
New wheels in the aunties name
Another year and then your out the game

Slide quiet through the underpass
Dirty spikes lying in the grass
Jump the bar on the wooden fence
Swerve the crew near the off-license
Same bullshit from a bunch of clowns
Won’t know what’s hit em when the beef goes down
New stash an a trusty Glock
Another package moves onto the block

Feds clocking is your cover blown
Texts buzzin from a spare trap phone
New wheels in your aunties name
Another year and then your out the game

Big doggy has the yungaz sling
Low profile but he’s caked in bling
He don’t know that his time has come
Jacks parking as they scope his drum
Missed the player in his own backyard
Empire falling like a house of cards
Door sledged on a dawn arrest
step on up because it’s your turn next

Feds clocking is your cover blown
Texts buzzin from a spare trap phone
New wheels in your aunties name
Another year and then your out the game

CITY WALLS

(ever too late to shine )    



Now she lives among the stars
                                          
and the night is too dark without her
         
all the light from then till now
                                          
hasn’t found its way back to her

*



I had no heart to hear

all the bells that call on Sunday

just like a waterfall

they’ll stop falling someday

*


refrain:

       
Is it ever too late to shine

ever too late to shine
         
my love


     
Is it ever too late to shine
                      
ever too late to find
      
my love

*


I see her in a crowd 

I see her in the mirror

Her face is like a shroud

as my own grows dimmer 

*


If you find yourself a star

don't lose it in the wishin' 

you're still while it moves far

far beyond your vision

*


refrain

Chris asked me to do a grunge version of this Beatles classic… fantastic idea!… he sang and played guitar… I played drums, percussion, bass guitar and added Lennon’s harmony.. Will mixed it phenomenally!… hope you enjoy an original version!

This is Cabal Akademik's final track...we sure do appreciate the amazing support we received over the last five years. We will resurface together in some other form very soon, to be sure.
