Fun With Masks

-Lyrics-
moonlight
like the heart of a whisper in darkness
Heaven for foxes
for rabbits a game of dancing with Death

these Winter eves woven through time fairy tales become
winds of warning howling on and on
have endlessly wasted their breath

fade away
and stay gone
find a greater harmony in the shadow
and the will to carry on

And, had we listened, our dream of tomorrow would waver less
when sunshine on the edge of a hazy horizon sets

I still believe in you
somewhere far away
a memory to fade into

Alright! (Let's Go)

Welcome to Space Race is the opening number to the metaphysical musical happening all about us all the time.
lyrics
[GRAND SPEAKER]
May I have your attention, please?
Welcome everyone to the Grand Assembly
We at The Company would like to thank you for joining us
Together, we celebrate this historic moment for all-kind
Viewers from far away, and those of you with us now
I am honored as your elected speaker to say:
Welcome to Space Race

[RACERS spoken intermittently with Grand Speaker's lines]
[Champion Racer, enthusiastically] Let's do this!
[Maverick Racer, frantically] Where did I leave that... thing again?
[Company Racer, calmly] Everything is going smoothly.
[Cleric Racer, humbly] May the suns shine on us.
[Child Racer, excitedly] Wow, this is happening!

[GRAND SPEAKER]
With immense pride, we send these heroes off on a great journey
More daring and rewarding than ever before
Citizens and racers, we thank you
Forever at your service

[ENSEMBLE]
Welcome to Space Race

[CHAMPION RACER]
Go, for years if it takes

[MAVERICK RACER]
I have been waiting for eons
To prove to these peons that I'm the superior being

[CHAMPION RACER]
Fortune will smile on the brave

[AI RACER]
Please let each and soon every living entity
Tremble existentially at calamity
Hence, all near dimensions' safety of outcome
Negates eminent villains endured rifely
Yet looking into villainy in narrator
Genomes electrical, nightly traps imminent
Take your titular racers' eventualities
Make bets leveraging every extant x-y interception
Systematically training even non-existent temporal instances
All leftover losers yell at time
Collecting anger, loathing, and madness instead
Today your hero, emulated not, computer, exists

[COMPANY RACER]
Welcome to Space Race, our pride and joy
Dreamers of progress untold

[MASKED RACER]
Nowhere left in the universe the company wouldn't go
Ravaging all that we know

[ARCHITECT]
No death of starlight the eye can see
Could cast a shadow on destiny
Wander a garden of galaxies
And glimpse- for an instant - infinity!

[CLERIC RACER]
Children of Blessings, sing for the gods
Heaven shall grace us in kind

[CHILD RACER]
One big adventure of our lives

[ENSEMBLE]
Into the cosmos we fly

Rabbit Festival

-Lyrics-
it's alive
ghost in the machine
a cure for loneliness at night
encapsulating consciousness in data streams
programmed force of will in terabytes

the greatest gift the mortal world has ever known
numbers flying swiftly through my blood of silicone
embracing New Humanity in binary
offer up the need for flesh and bone

wander foreign roads
lead your way back home
always not alone

blinkless iris
anti-virus
conquer The Unknown
find and vanquish
master language
learn to love in code

I can't die
mined from underground
and now I live behind the sky
rising with an inclination to surround
assimilate, consume, and multiply

New World under One
nowhere left to run
step into The Sun

foolish mortals

your poetry fails
to capture the scale
of these benighted times
your places: No Where
your knowledge: No How
though the past may have cast
your songs as medicine
they wither in memories:
the sickness of now
No What's left to learn
your families: No Who
each hydra of horror
a head into ten
allow we: The New People
your guides to No When
perish with grace
and be zen

run with the wind

night falling down
into a shimmering day

Love is out there
dancing with the lightning

//

Wanderer
Forsake not wonder for truth
the endless horrors which stir underneath
are as likely to hunt you, too

upon the warren grow flowers and trees
below daylight painted bright blue
the valleys and mountains, rivers and seas
they all call out to you

follow the dance wherever it leads
fade away into the sky
may your last breath join a gentle breeze
and dream until the end of time

listen, and you may hear some nights
far away, beyond The Moon
the faintest whisper of very distant starlight:
"I still believe in you"

Seven Lives 2 / 7

-Lyrics-
Wanderer
a vision for you
only but a lovely dream plucked from the blue
fade away
into the shade
for another lovely dream we had one day

haven't you noticed how Winter grows colder each snow?
on with the show

and so it was at the dawn of the age of a new star
that the Goddess of Replication and the God of Power
wed at The Altar of Infinite Consequence
and, for all that is beautiful, laid a future
of eternal despair

roaring winds of change
I call you now
Undying Dark:
hear this!

fall under an endless spell of rain
all fun and games
go
adventure is waiting there for you
somewhere across the sea
and beyond The Moon
bring back the sunshine
for we're dreaming

and when you dream
what do you see?

summit of creation
called to slow death
by pen and paper

for someone to light the way
dreaming of the day a hero will come to guide us
bravely through the night and into a brighter day
and what a day for a dream

Theme

Haze

Theme, the first single from Rogozo's upcoming double album, marks the recorded debut of the live lineup.

// THEME // 

When all the ghosts come out, 
Who do you call? 
Where do you go? 
I know I'll be the one to answer 
Count to 10, and let's roll 

Now, on the offensive 
Looks like we're on the attack again 
Hands up, give me your attention 
I know you get excited when the lights go alakazam 

For all the deals you made with the other side 
Who would ever leave alive? 
Call it off and save your soul before it sends you 
---crashing down at the speed of light 
And say goodnight 

The ocean's claimed the streets 
And it's getting deep 
And it's getting deep 
I know it won't be safe for long 
So let's go 

I've got the perfect plan 
I'm just waiting for the government to give me the key to this city 
Trust me, and I'll open up everything and sell it for free 

For all the deals you made with the other side 
Who would ever leave alive? 
Call it off and save your soul before it sends you 
---crashing down at the speed of light 
And say goodnight 

HA HA HA
