IMPAVID

Samus is having a rough week.

◘Lyrics◘
Blasting through hostile creatures and debris
Ridley laughing, taunting as he flees
Kraid and his pirates lie in wait:
All in my path will share the same fate

GalFed destroy what they can't contain
and Keaton would see me dead or in chains

Adam, is it all worth it?
All this pain and all this blood
Will people ever know this
One lost soul holding back the flood

Gunship burning through the void
My Suit intact, my body half destroyed
A galaxy of souls whom I defend
yet my reward is to be condemned

Raised in a world that none recall
My very existence breaks protocol

Adam, was this all worth it?
Is every victory just a test?
Are you even out there listening?
Am I the next target they're commisioning?

Am I a human?
Am I a chozo?
Am I a monster?
Am I a hero?

Grey Voice would urge me to carry on
But how can I trust them if you're gone?

Oh Adam, how could this be worth it?
All this chaos, all this grit
When your people don't even notice
When the galaxy doesn't give a shit

The galaxy was supposed to be at peace!
Everybody seems to want a piece!
What use is a weapon during peace!

Kraid's Lair by Hirokazu Tanaka

Galaxy's Most Wanted

Daisy was just biding her time, Mario.

◘Lyrics◘
He came down in a ship of smoke
This little man, this purple joke
He took my crown
He took my land
And he wants to take my name
But I won’t break, I must maintain

Sarasaland writhes under his spell
But I see stars beyond this cell

He doesnt know bout star power


I’m singing through my kingdom's chains
Hope’s a fire running in my veins
He can take my throne
My people
My land
I will wait, I will watch
I will gain the upper hand

Tatanga chants in a language strange
He postures courtship
while I contain my rage
He thinks I’m sweet
His fragile dove
But my heart’s an ibis
I won't give up

I am a desert flower 
This is my home I will thrive
I smile down from my tower
Wonder if I'll keep this fool alive

Wish upon Sopdet for my escape
Await a brighter dawn to take shape

Yeah, I’m singing through my castle walls
An interloper's dancing through the halls
He can take my throne
My Guards, my land
But he’ll never take what I’ve got planned

You're gonna die here

This land is unconquerable
My people are unconquerable
I am unconquerable
Sarasaland will fall to none

Oh, you little purple fool

Easton Kingdom by Hirokazu Tanaka

Unconquerable Daisy

Kicking off the IMPAVID project with Zelda's Awakening, this is gonna be fun.

◘Lyrics◘
I was only six, when my training began,
mystic studies and battleplans.
I must receive the goddesses amnesty,
Gannon is coming and with him calamity.

A decade of study, every day and night
I must save my people from this plight,
because there's magic in me.
Father says there's magic in me.

And then some quiet guy appears,
like out of thin air.
He's the chosen one now.
The answer to all their prayers.
The sleeping sword just woke up and chose him,
but nobody knows him.
Why is he called Link,
when he's not connected to anyone?

Now this silent fool just follows me about,
a walking reminder of my self-doubt.
What does he want and why is he so subdued?
How could one person eat so much food?
I try and I fail and I admit,
that there's no magic in me, not a whit.
I lose my shit, tell him we should quit.
So he smiles and decides to just rest for a bit.

He's my guard when i pray,
my sentry when I lay,
closest thing to a friend and I treat him with dismay.
Mother if you were here, you'd know what to say,
maybe father would stop pushing me away.

I don't deserve this burden,
or all this shame!
Goodbye speechless knight!
Begone royal name!
But he wont let me go!
Unhand me, you silent knave!
When I turn to face him,
he's drawn his blade.

A moblin had appeared, and I just froze!
He put himself between us, they exchanged blows!
It happened so fast, and while Link still lives
I'm covered in blood, and most of it's his.
But does he cry in pain, or call me a bitch?
No he grins and grits his teeth at me,
and fades away so peacefully...

He's not breathing

I won't let you die! Come back from the brink!
I can't let you die! You're my only strength!
I command you to wake up and just tell me what you think!
Please just wake up, wake up Link!

Hylia, please help me

You're okay. 
I've got you. 
You can rest now.

Zelda's Lullaby by Koji Kondo

Zelda's Awakening

There can be only one Boss.

◘Lyrics◘
Prove your loyalty!
FACE ME!

The Mercury Lady
The cobra's joy
The boss she can build you, to destroy
The philosopher's daughter
is faster and stronger
The legendary soldier who lost her boy

Life is a march and the road is long
Our footsteps fade after we have gone 

I've slain my sorrow
What fool would pretend 
In battle there's honor to borrow
Or in war that there's glory to lend

Trust is a coin that's minted slowly
for many years I served 
I did what was asked, gave myself wholly
so that peace would be preserved

Good soldiers obey and charge fearlessly forward
While bad soldiers keep the score
Both may survive to praise the fallen
and learn that the true enemy is war

There's no greater sorrow
Than a battlefield with friends
I know that I have no tomorrow
I remain loyal to the end

Remember, Jack
that technique is nothing without spirit
...and it's yours now.

The Boss' Final Lesson

for transparency i just wanna say that we're not happy with this one from a quality standpoint, but i gave my word we'd publish it.  in its current state it may be cut from the album.

Hornet's Oath

Schala's Fate

We been at this for a hot minute, we are not bound by genre, but we are first and foremost a hip hop collective that might be changing our name/branding/wardrobe in the near future.
Also, "we are so thirsty for feedback that we take requests." -PD

̶̶-------------------------------------
2025-09-12: The second distribution of multiple hip hop tracks behind schedule, the content scraping robots seem to think that the iconagraphy of the US dollar is copyrighted and yours truly has to try and prove that negative. On the upshot, by the time this shit is sorted we might just have a whole fuckin album, or at the very least a name for it.

Beowulf is going to sit here but we're gonna flesh that out - an upcoming EP of similar tracks, wholly original, hip hop, homages to our favorite works of fiction, so naturally PD is off pondering King's magnum opus the Dark Tower. Watch this space.

Oh and I've seen how much interest the horns for Petra has gotten (thanks again for your feedback, Petra) so I've started working on a cover of the Schitt's Creek theme song, despite threats of reprisal from RSR mates with bad taste - I'm gonna make them watch a few episodes and I'm sure they'll come around.

2025-08-22:
IMPAVID paused while we pivot to preproduction and brainstorming. so much fun working with the vocalists we've found so far. Tifa's song coming "soon as it's ready" - PD
Meantime any metal heads give us a shout with suggestions, or we gonna seriosuly have to rule34 this shit.
̶̶-------------------------------------̶

Beyond the quest to be heard, we also on a side quest to listen, so please do drop us a line and tell us what you love, what you hate, whatever's clever.
