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!

Lyrics: 

The fallen ones show no mercy
Kingdom of mystery lies dormant no more
The power man has tapped into
Cuisine of curiosity but now in its feast to..
CHEW!

Don't you know some nests are better left unturned
Save your shell and bones, leave your sticks to burn

Coming down 
Taking crown
Are you ready to unveil this gown?
Entities on your back
Limbs of trees turn black
Fight the dimensional gig to retain your plaque.

Brush of truth paints the eye
This is where the canvas blooms and dies
Sacrifice on both sides
Only one army can arise
The fear sheds the blood like dandruff in the wind
Grab your loaded gun, we're on the run to avenge our home
And bite these creatures back!

Coming down 
Taking crown
Are you ready to unveil this gown?
Entities on your back
Limbs of trees turn black
Fight the dimensional gig to retain your plaque

Coming down 
Taking crown
Are you ready to unveil this gown?
Entities on your back
Limbs of trees turn black
Fight the dimensional gig to retain your plaque

Victory of the day

eleventh hour

a song expressing the recognition of the existence of God and that God is everywhere.  

Written and performed : Johnny 

Let Your Love Reign Down

N.B. 11/07/2023: at last I think I managed to delete the more disturbing noises!! And keep quite the best of the recording ! Hope you better enjoy the song now 🎈 … and the new cover art 🤩 closer to the chorus ❤️‍🔥

it's been a dilemna to choose wether or not I would publish that track:
1. After hours and hours of work on mastering to remove the huge amount of noises on that old tape recording , it was only half a success...
2. I love this song!... despite its not perfect sound

Hope you’ll validate the option 2 :)

Bruno (future Loony) wrote the song, programmed drums, played the bass and the guitars, and sung.
Composed in July 16th 1989
Recorded in January 1992 on Yamaha 4 tracks

The song has been played live with the Catsbleed between 92 and 94, meeting a bit of success 🎈

I heard this bird at the end of the day, nearby the ocean. He sang so beautifully I managed to record him (poorly.. with my laptop). And I would eventually Gig with him. There we go. Respect to mother nature and other species.

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!

The Mysterious Decibel X Mahan Mahan - A Septic Journey (FREE DOWNLOAD)

This song started as an idea David and I came up with to do an afrobeat song together.  So David came up with this banger of a bass line and drums track and sent it to me. I added some guitars, electric piano, and organ. I then excitedly sent it to Mikey to add the sax, which I consider to be a key element of afrobeat music, and which he always does so well. David's version is much more drum and bass heavy. Please have a listen to both so you can hear how they both sound. I really had a good time making this song. David produced and mixed both versions, and what a fun thing it is to hear my instruments integrated into an elrctronica song by such able hands.

No clue where my tunes are heading until they arrive at their destination; ignorant of rules, no recipe book, no sat nav, perhaps it isn’t even me at the steering wheel???

Chemistry Lessons
Lyrics by Peter Rand
 
I know you're hiding 
In the shadows as I walk
An imprint on the life I lead
Where you left your mark

The universe stays silent
On how this comes to be
Mother Nature, mother nurture
Love or heredity

The best and worst of all worlds
Is the only one I see
And you somehow already knew 
The best and worst of me

You know I'm trying
To overcome the doubt
Compressed like coal
In seams that wear me out

The scientist says nothing
Of the chemistry of love
Otherworld dimensions
I seem to be part of

The best and worst of all worlds
Is the only one I see
And you somehow already knew 
The best and worst of me

I know you're hiding 
In the shadows as I walk
An imprint on the life I lead
Where you left your mark

I'm Leavin' - Bruno C

Well, there's rattler's on the bayou

Creep up on ya' without sound

/

Trust, them serpents gone find you...

So best hurry.  Listen what I told you.

Float yourself a lil' further down

/

'cuase there's rattler's on this bayou

oh, they heard you splashin' 'round

Having a little fun with a drum out-take from a collab with Broox.  I was going to scrap it bc it didnt mesh with the guitar part but i liked the feel of the druns so i made a seperate arrangement and added lyrics.  

Special thanks to Broox for the guitar riff and Mrs Broox for giving me the idea for the title/lyrics

SK  Lyrics
Freakozoid

she's not your ordinary baby
don't try to figure her out
you oughta trust me she's crazy
there really shouldn't be a doubt

where does she go late at night?
don't you think you should know?

oh is your freakozoid is out on the town?
i heard she's making her rounds
oh your freakozoid is out getting down
just ask every man in town

she's a tweaking
oh she's out teasing
don't you think there's something wrong with that?
she's coming back and crawling
don't you think what i've been warning
i'm telling you.. ( you gotta drop the hoe babe)
oh you deserve much better
i'll be here thru the stormy weather

whatcha waiting for?!
just kick her out the door babe!

where does she go late at night?
don't you think you should know?

oh is your freakozoid is out on the town?
i heard she's making her rounds,
oh is your freakozoid  getting down
just ask every man in town

ooo don't get down, don't get so broken hearted
ooo i'm right here, won't you let me get your heart restarted

ooooooh
the sun is shining now
the freak is leaving town

oooo that freakozoid is leaving town
i heard she's no where to be found
oooo that freakozoid is leaving town
and now your my man now

Freakozoid

This is a song that Computart came up with and passed on to me. It was just some ambient synth and a very simple beat when I got a hold of it, but it did have a really cool feel. I took it, and added five string fretless bass, electric guitar, piano, and organ. I then asked Tez (Llanpsych) to work his mix magic on it, which he did very expertly, as always. We hope you like it.
