Being Funny In A Foreign Language

About You

When the twin moons of Epsilon Ridge burn red, the law rides in black.

Marshal Kane Vale of the Black Comet, a sort of intergalactic marshals, was once a name whispered with respect across the outer systems. An enforcer of justice where no law survived. But when a forged bounty leads him to destroy an innocent town, the hunter becomes the hunted.

Now, wounded and haunted by the ghost of his deputy, Kane waits in the ashes of Latchkey for his own kind to bring judgment. In the void, there’s no mercy—only the creed he once swore to uphold:

“When the stars forget, we remember.”

A space-western tragedy of guilt, fire, and redemption.
Ashfall on Epsilon Ridge is the final ride of a lawman who learns that even justice casts a shadow.


Lyrics

Smoke rolled in like a dying tide,
Screams got swallowed by the flame inside.
Medicine crates, a child’s cry—
They weren’t slavers, just trying to survive.

Pulled my gun, thought I knew the sin,
Didn’t see what was burning within.
By the time I did, it was far too late—
Justice don’t bend, it breaks in hate.

Fire on Latchkey, the town went down,
The stars looked on, didn’t make a sound.
One by one the souls took flight,
Fire on Latchkey, no wrong, no right.

Lira’s hand in mine, covered in soot,
She whispered, “You did what you thought you should.”
Then the roof came down and the sky went red—
I keep hearing her voice in the words she said.

Fire on Latchkey, heaven turned cold,
The badge is heavy, the story’s old.
Lawmen burn just like the damned,
Fire on Latchkey, and blood on my hands.

Fire on Latchkey

“When We’re Far, Far Away”

I’ll be honest — I’ve written a lot of songs I’m proud of, and a few that don’t hit me as deeply now that I’m older and wiser. But this one… this one is different.

It’s one of my favorites.

At the beginning of a relationship everything feels electric — passionate, unforgettable. But distance, time, and life have a way of corroding the surface. With this song, I wanted to strip all of that away and reveal the core. The center. The place where the whole connection was built on small, perfect moments.

Have you ever wished you could stop time?
Or felt that quiet fear that things might fall apart the moment the sunset fades and you let go?

And later, with hindsight, wished you could return to that first spark — the beginning, the center, the version of you both that felt simple and whole?

That’s what this song is for.
I hope you feel it the way I did when I wrote it.

Lyrics
Cold bones, yeah that's my love
She hides away, like a ghost
Does she know that we bleed the same?

Don't wanna cry but I break that way
Cold sheets, oh where's my love?

I am searching high, I'm searching low in the night
Does she know that we bleed the same?
Don't wanna cry but I break that way

Did she run away
Did she run away, I don't know
If she ran away
If she ran away, Come back home
Just come home

I got a fear, oh in my blood
She was carried up into the clouds, high above
If you bled I'll bleed the same
If you're scared I'm on my way

Did you run away
Did you run away, I don't need to know
If you ran away
If you ran away, come back home
Just come home
