Lyrics:
So look around at all the possibilities
you'll find the one

running through the time zones
looks like we're on our own
hate so much when we're alone
running out of time zones

Once you look into the things you like to do
wanted to feel you wanted to
would you like to see the day when we go
right on, right on

Lyrics:
You call my name,
it's lost it's meaning
another pawn,
in a spinning world

so call my name,
give it new meaning
take the blame,
make it different

it's a shame,
were stuck in this timeloop
of a very different world,
in a strangeland,
like a badland,
be a good lad,
see the good land
let's go over,
lets take over

Candid

Lyrics:
Man fumbles in his infancy,
angels look the other way,
fashion tries to copy me,
but I look the other way,
set you up for the greatest fall,
but you just jump and soar,
you tried running for the door, 
but you slip on the way,
doesn't seem like we're going to win,
doesn't matter either way,
we're, indestructable,
indestructable, not gonna die,
indestructable, don't wanna die
preacher said he had to die,
doesn't take the hurt away,
is it just another lie,
could it be the other way,
feelings like this are hard to hide,
crying makes it harder,
refuse to say that we die,
I'm indestructible,

Lyrics:
I see you could try it
but the time is wrong for you
I long for justice
but this wheel is too big for us

I'm running with my soul shoes on
and I'm wondering why this worlds so wrong
can't try to make it seem alright
but it just sinks into a fight

(Turtle)
Life's just thrown a curve ball at me 
The day started off a little bit crappy
But I think it might just turn out to be a happy day today
Life's just thrown a curve ball at me 
The day started off a little bit crappy
But I see a little glimmer of hope 
There's a chance it could go my way

(TTM)
I see your days are numbered here
as we try and make it work in here
you keep on banging on your head
pain is over running head

the season is for making fear
of all the things we used to hear
but now it's time for laying bare
the things for which we used to care

Curve Ball Ft The Turtle Project & TTM

Lyrics:
I heard you crying in the rain
like a babe without it's maid
you keep on trying to get home
but there's a path that leads to Maine

you broke your heart but then you swore
to love the calmness in your mind
I tried to help you see my name
but then the tears streamed through your eyes

you say you want to save the world again
but you made your bed and now it's in a loop
you called my name at all times of the night
and I called out for you to set things right

You send for me when all your options are dry
you send for me when you have nowhere to hide
you track me down by your pitiful cry
and I respond to you but have to ask why

Send for me

I hope you like it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Lyrics:
I'm treading it down, the thought of my drowning
I'm sending it through, the ways of the warrior
I'm crushing the things, that makes us go slower

Burn the things that hurt your brain
Watch their wings as they fly away
Cry a river for all the pain
You feel the need to run again

But I'm going nowhere, till we've got the traction

One two three, I'm alone again
five six seven, on the road again
broken dreams, for the road ahead
fallen angels, want to break your bed

So sounding out the pain of life
we fall and stumble on the spike  and die
don't cry for those who suck at life
we all have time to make it right
so make it right, make it right, make it right

Mysterious eyes are staring you down
don't mess up again, or you'll go down
just follow the path already laid down
don't deviate or fool around
and setup your self for hours of fun
and make your plans to follow the sun
mysterious eye is looking at some
make sure that you are the favored one

Mysterious eye ft David Hannah & TTM

Here's a collaboration I did with my mate Michael Savant. Hope you enjoy it. 
Lyrics:
I'm a man who has seen the noble side of suffering
breaks your heart when you see that they, are all hypocrites
running round like kings and queens, in the tyranny
laughing at the fools who pay the way for them
so silly rants and pale faced pundits rise up here
to break your hearts and minds for vanity
but take no pleasure it's broken sanity
but crude exposures will reveal your depravity

I'm climbing up this wall to see the world
I'm seeing things we never saw before
I'm flying through the air to see you there
I'm trying to break-down the barrier

I'm climbing up these walls, looking out the tops for the cops
I'll get there for sure, but it wont be right or hot
I'm banging on the walls,  but they are hollow like my bones
It can't worse than this, when I get a taste of the bouncers fist

Silent Treatment

Lyrics:
I sat alone in the shadows
wondered where you'd gone
cried inside my hollows
baby it so bad you're gone
it's been so many many years now
and still my love is strong

You know my love is strong
and I'm hardly ever  wrong
even when you come along
trying to make me sing it wrong

the song you  make is one you take
from hungry mouths you can't mistake
now we see you as a fake
you can't have it all and eat your cake

Crushed by your spirit of dispair
we work hard to fix the unfair
may have time to rinse your hair
we gonna soar when we we've got there
It's crime if you think we're can't get there
we're broken before we reach out there
We've got the strength to make it now
I feel the surge of all out love

Dreams of the things we wished for
Dreams can never be the same
Reams of paper filled hearts now
Dreams were shattered once again

Strings lyrics:
Running up the walls here, looking for some answers
why you ended it all, why are we no longer
viable for mating, descended into hating
markings on the carpet, ended it and that's it!
thrown into the wall, like a puppet on a string
feeling like a manequinn, like a puppet on a string

Falling over my feet to reach you
there seems to be some misunderstanding
I'm crushed by the weight of misgivings
I'd rather die than let you hate me 
Oh no

Reasons for your living, are the reasons you were leaving
tried stem the rough tide, but the feelings were tough type
 hearts were broken daily, but you found a way to tally
all the times we were together, you found a way to tether
all the dreams we had together
and we thought that it would never ever
end, the way it did

Alone, I sit, inside of my mind
Feelings of loss and resent, building with time
The rage i feel, its more, than i can express
Leading me down, this path, a darkend descent

This twisted nightmare that I'm in
is pulling and pulling and pulling me by my
strings of life, till the bitter end

Feeling like they've gone, all our memories gone wrong
from the years gone by, hurt collides with love
crashes all our dreams, fells us to the ground

like a puppet on a string
like a puppet on a string
feeling like a manequinn
like a puppet on a string

So now I face the end alone, wondering why it went so bad
I broke the walls of sanity, as I found some comfort in my grief
I feel the strings controlling me, as I struggle to suppress it all
My mind is saying set me free, but my heart is stolen like a thief

Strings by "The Old School" ft David Hannah and TTM

Lyrics:
Woman you caused my world to crash
I'm searching for reasons to call you back
My hurt is what is holding me back
maybe we can go back and try retrace

Wooh oh oh you don't know me
Wooh oh oh you never cared
Wooh oh oh to ask my name
my name

Reasons we are here to live this day
are burned in the minds of all who may
release all the feelings that hold you back
we're reeling from the pain that sent us slack

Wooh oh oh you don't know me
Wooh oh oh you never cared
Wooh oh oh to ask my name
my name

Reasons we are still alive today
are the reasons we get up and don't hold back
We're broken but we still run a lap
And ready our hearts for the final lap

Wooh oh oh you don't know me
Wooh oh oh you never cared
Wooh oh oh to ask my name
my name

Cursed by "The old school" ft David Hannah on guitar & TTM on vocals

Lyrics:
I'm riding the wave to simplify
the life we thought was in the sky
but now we're in the zone at last
turns out it's a furnace blast,
I hope you dont take an offence
when this action makes no sense
I set out to expose the lie
but end up all mystified,
I smell the fear in the air
looks like when reached the end
you cry a tear for the guy
who only knew how to lie

There's something in the air
There's something in the air
I wish it cleared the air
you had to go there
There's something in the air, tonight

I soak up all the stale air
that hurts the depths of your lungs
I see the anger in your eyes
although it's not so justified,
I tested all your broken lies
and now we know it's just a pie
take courage from the testified
statement of the last one out,
I taste the tears in my mouth
of all the times we broke the house
I smell the fear in the air
but we're on till the end,

There's something in the air
There's something in the air
I wish it cleared the air
you had to go there
There's something in the air, tonight

This track is the defining track for our Krakenmoor side project. Its is a Gothic medieval metal track that is the trademark of the Krakenmoor project.

Come journey into the past with us and join the battle for Krakenmoor!

The Battle of Krakenmoor

Warriors, dig deep inside of you, the anger, of a million wrongs to you, raise up up now and charge into eternity, the victory, is soon reality, invades my sanity

I feel cold, my head's hurting, feels like it's gonna split the world in two
I'm getting old, my fear is spreading, are we gonna draw the battle lines again

I feel reality slip away from me,
I keep on running but it's only my dream

Coming up to the mountain high, we feel the pull from the sky
the battle calls for all brave men
Running after the glory high, the cry of the battle high,
the rage of the Krakenmoor

I feel high, the rage of battle cries, we fight until the ground runs red, 
It's all a lie, you never had a chance, when you go to war in Krakenmoor

I feel reality slip away from me,
I keep on running but it's only my dream

Coming up to the mountain high, we feel the pull from the sky
the battle calls for all brave men
Running after the glory high, the cry of the battle high,
the rage of the Krakenmoor

We have a special guest, ALZ playing some lead guitar along with David Hannah and myself on our new Krakenmoor release:

Returning to the realm of Krakenmoor and arriving on the battlefield "The Gallant Ones" are here and charging in to turn the tide...

We hope you enjoy this follow up to The Battle Of Krakenmoor.

The Gallant Ones

Up until this point, I was willing to die
But I look into the hole and see myself lie
Gotta say it's a hollow cry for help to make it through
Digging out courage so I can fight
Straining all of me to get some might
Reeling from the horror of what I'm about to do
I'm The Gallant one
Racing up the flanks of the battle lines
Looking for the chance to slay the blanks
Feeling no regrets for what I've done
Time I sleep now that I'm done
Can you see that I'm the one
From the book of prophesy
Time for us to sing this song
We're the Gallant ones

Now I'm looking for a quick victory
Shame we put our lives at risk so easily
Digging deep into my psyche
Pulling all the memories of spite
turning my rage to murderous tendency
I'm the gallant one, the gallant ones
Racing up the flanks of the battle lines
Looking for the chance to slay the blanks
Feeling no regrets for what I've done
Time I sleep now that I'm done
Can you see that I'm the one
From the book of prophesy
Time for us to sing this song
We're the Gallant ones, the gallant ones

From the highlands to the battle fronts
Across basins to the shores
Gathered in eternity
In this place called Krakenmoor

The blood, strife, the carnage
Of a thousand years reflect
Legions ride the disheveled fronts
with uncertainty to inflict

Unleashed upon a world of spite
a vile with no atone 
Into this battle-laden realm
Ride the gallant ones

When we flee the victors blades it hurts our pride
We just hope we make it through the night
Wonder what it's worth after tonight
Digging out some courage to take flight
Straining all of me to get it right
Reeling from the horror of what I did to you
I'm The Gallant one
Racing up the flanks of the battle lines
Looking for the chance to slay the blanks
Feeling no regrets for what I've done
Time I sleep now that I'm done
Can you see that I'm the one
From the book of prophesy
Time for us to sing this song
We're the Gallant ones, the gallant ones

The Gallant Ones (part2)

Another masterpiece produced by Johnny Baker from The old school with special guest Nils K on Lead Guitar

This is the 3rd chapter in the (Battle Of Krakenmoor) tale. It is the follow up to The Gallant Ones and tells the story of how the tide of battle was turned by the gallant ones, but with a surprising twist... it is revealed that the aggressors in this fight are not really the aggressors, but the original inhabitants of Krakenmoor trying to reclaim their kingdom. The king request a secret gathering of the troops to consider a new strategy in the fight....

So return with us now to Krakenmoor and I hope you enjoy A Secret Gathering...

Lyrics:
The Secret Gathering
------------------------------
(Commander)
Sire, Our positions have been compromised and our forces have retreated back into the hills
These riders in white.. these galant ones... have made quite the mess a of things
(King)
Curse these riders from the north. Commander... I believe.. a new strategy is in order here.. For we will recover these lands and return our people to there former glory... Failure is not an option
Gather your troops for a secret gathering, for we are about to go forward to victory!
(Commander)
It shall be done..
-------------------------------------------
Rumors spread around the badlands, a mass of retreating angry war bands, flee into the night
Scattered in the local towns and, places where we don't dare land, plans, fall into place

Never used, for so long, the secret place we've never gone,
We dance and we sing, until we reach a frenzied song, and it makes us strong,

We'll fight until the blood runs red, we'll worry later about the dead, it's not wrong, no it's not wrong
Creed and color don't pretend, we're all brothers in the end, it's our home, yeah it's our home

Never used, for so long, the secret place we've never gone,
We dance and we sing, until we reach a frenzied song, and it makes us strong, until we reach a frenzied song

Been a long time coming, had it in us all along, we're so strong, yeah so strong
We meet and plan to turn a corner, and from the battles we'll recover, our own, yeah it's out own
Then we'll win, it wont be long, the rivers will be turned to blood
And we'll sing this song, the sound of our victory
and the brave, knights so strong, will celebrate in Krakenmoor all night long, all night long

A Secret Gathering (Part 3)

All Lead Guitar - The great ALz
This is the final chapter in our Battle Of Krakenmoor saga... Its intention... well, i guess the intention of this entire project is to show that, with all wars, past or present, in victory or defeat... there is always a great cost that will be paid.... there is never any true 100% victor in any battle and the costs are very high.
In our story, the original inhabitants of Krakenmoor have defied the odds and reclaimed there home, but as the smoke clears and the victors relish in their conquest, they look across the battlefield and see the toll that was paid and wonder if it was all worth it in the end for just for this particular piece of land that many years ago they had called home.

The victor stands at ease and views
the murders of the sea of these
the warriors with a victory
are standing tall but so empty

The spectre of the wars we fought
the horrors that the slaughter bought
and when we look for our dear friends
we find a book of bitter ends 

Spoils of war, a shallow win
for spoils of war, we emptied our lives for
spoils of war, it doesn't end, we go to war
one more time 

When we look to see the spoils of
the battles we fought
it's raining in our minds as we
remember all the blood that ran

The visions of the fallen taught
the battle it was all for naught
our cuts and bruises can all mend
but fallen braves have met thier end

Spoils of war, a shallow win
for spoils of war, we emptied our lives for
spoils of war, it doesn't end, we go to war
one more time 

The victors lie in peace thier battles are all won
it seems
the journey of those slain are so empty
thier lives were futility

The spectre of the wars we fought
the horrors that the slaughter bought
and when we look for our dear friends
we find a book of bitter ends 

Spoils of war, a shallow win
for spoils of war, we emptied our lives for
spoils of war, it doesn't end, we go to war
one more time

Due to the overwhelming compliments we got from our concept project (The Battle Of Krakenmoor), we decided to do another story for everyone. We hope you enjoy this one every bit as much as the first.

As we travel back to 1192, King Richard returns with plans to launch a crusade on Jerusalem, while most are in favor.. some are not... Let the story begin!!!!

Journey Back - 1192 The Third Crusade


A light is burning for the coming of the king
he comes from lands that have no need of him
he hopes to rule it with an iron ring
but there are those want to dispose of him

Journey on back, oh journey on back for the king
Journey on back, oh journey on back for the king

He trained his soldiers to be just like him
he showed no mercy they know how to win
the coming battles where glory has gone
will they be ready to die for him

Journey on back, oh journey on back for the king
Journey on back, oh journey on back for the king
Journey on back, oh journey on back for the king

The cry of battle is a sound they can hear
Their hearts are racing as they smell thier own fear
The stench of death, rising up in the air
The bravest ones of us have too much to bear

Tyrone The Man
