DownTheRabbitHole

To all the poor of spirit
The meek, the ones who mourn
Those who thirst for justice 
Unfettered by the scorn

Yours shall be the kingdom
The mercy and the win
Known too as the children
Of the beginning and the end
The beginning and the end

Ah rockem sockem, now it’s like this
If I may I be so bold
First world problems, sink or swim
Do the Rigamarole 

De facto mojo, just for love        
Well waddaya know about that
Oneness lies within plane sight
Do the Rigamarole 
Down the rabbit hole

Ah come on now

Down the rabbit hole
Do the Rigamarole

Solo

The stars that sparkle 
In the night 
Fade away into day light
As morning heralds in 
A brand new day

No it’s not rocket science
Just misunderstood 
Don’t wanna fret but can’t forget
Though I wish I could
Knock, knock, knock on wood

To the salt of the earth
That lights  up the world
From the dawn of time
Of the eternal Grind

Here comes the Welcome Wagon
With the rubber soul
The greatest story ever told
Down the rabbit hole
Do the Rigamarole

Ah come on now

Do the Rigamarole
Down the rabbit hole

The stars that sparkle 
In the night 
Fade away into day light
As morning heralds in 
A brand new day

"Creeping Shadows" is a haunting and sinister villain song performed by Queen Insomnia in "Dreamweaver's Enchantment". This dark, menacing number introduces the antagonist and her nefarious plans to destroy the world of dreams. The song features a brooding, atmospheric melody with discordant undertones, reflecting the unsettling nature of sleepless nights. Queen Insomnia's powerful vocals are accompanied by an ominous orchestration, building tension throughout the piece. "Creeping Shadows" serves as a stark contrast to the earlier, more whimsical songs, signaling the threat to Dreamland and setting up the central conflict of the musical.

Lyrics:

In the corners of your mind, where light fears to tread 
I lurk in silence, filling hearts with dread 
Your peaceful slumber, a mere illusion 
Soon to be shattered by my intrusion

Tick tock, goes the clock, as you toss and turn 
Eyes wide open, as midnight oil burns 
You'll beg for sleep, but I'll deny your plea 
In this wakeful prison, you belong to me

Creeping shadows, growing stronger 
Sleepless nights, stretching longer 
Dreams will fade, nightmares will reign 
Queen Insomnia is here to claim her domain

Sweet dreams are made of lies, a fantasy I'll destroy 
Your hopes and wishes, mere toys for me to employ 
In my world of endless night, imaginations wither 
Creativity and joy, I'll watch them all slither

Tick tock, racing thoughts, as you lie awake 
Restless mind, bones will ache 
You'll cry for rest, but I won't set you free 
In this twilight torture, you're a puppet to me

Creeping shadows, growing stronger 
Sleepless nights, stretching longer 
Dreams will fade, nightmares will reign 
Queen Insomnia is here to claim her domain

Once I too dreamed, vibrant and bright 
Till cruel reality extinguished my light 
Now I'll snuff out every dreamer's spark 
And drag this world into eternal dark

Creeping shadows, now in control 
Sleepless nights take their toll 
Dreams have died, nightmares supreme 
Queen Insomnia reigns, hear the dreamers scream

Close your eyes, if you dare 
But remember, I'll be there 
In every shadow, every fear 
Whispering nightmares in your ear

Creeping Shadows

TALKIN’ DIRTY
You should hear the things that fall from my mouth
When it all falls apart, my world has gone south
Ya’d be appalled at the things fall from my mouth
A bar ‘a soap, ya’d use it all

CHORUS
Talkin’ to myself
Down an’ dirty
Talkin’ to myself
It gets wordy
Walkin’ by myself
Downtrodden birdie
Talkin’ to myself
Talkin’ dirty

The things I say, I’d never say to the folks next-door
Sayin’ less these days is certainly called for
‘Cuz they’d be appalled, might even start a war
That Israeli flag says it all, 'cuz

I b*tch about the weather
B*tch about the government
I b*tch about the j*ws
I b*tch in wonderment
‘Cuz just what I’ll say next
You never know
Could be the next song
You won’t hear on the radio

Talkin’ to myself
Down an’ dirty
Talkin’ to myself
It gets wordy
Walkin’ by myself
Downtrodden birdie
Talkin’ to myself
Talkin’ dirty

Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do

You should hear the things that fall from my mouth
When it all falls apart, my world has gone south
Ya’d be appalled at the things fall my mouth
A bar ‘a soap, ya’d use it all

Talkin’ to myself
Down an’ dirty
Talkin’ to myself
It gets wordy
Walkin’ by myself
Downtrodden birdie
Talkin’ to myself
Talkin’ dirty

Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do

TALKIN’ DIRTY

Wo kommen wir denn da hin

Auf meinem Weg zur Erkenntnis

Take my hand, 
Walking through this land

Drinking in the scene
Of a late evening sky

The silence of the trees
Holds us like a stone

Only for tonight
Under heaven's light

We're frozen monuments
Time's star witnesses

We're here together
Seeing places unknown

In the majestic haze
Of the Milky Way
Time's star witnesses

Where voices on the wind
Make our heads spin

We're here together
Seeing places unknown
Time's star witnesses

Take my hand, 
Walking through this land

Drinking in the scene
Of a late evening sky

We're here together
Seeing places unknown

Time's star witnesses

The silence of the trees
Holds us like a stone

Only for tonight
Under heaven's light

In the majestic haze
Of the Milky Way

We're frozen monuments
So take my hand
And make a memory

Where voices on the wind
Make our heads spin

We're here together
Seeing places unknown
Time's star witnesses

Medusa's Children

“A whimsical journey through mirrors, monarchs, and maritime mischief—Make Believe World invites you to step outside reality and into imagination.”

Yes, another cover of an early song, recorded by myself singing and playing. So much more satisfying hearing my songs produced with not only the lyrics by the original melodies. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?
