Lyrics:
Well, I’m gonna scrawl my name
On the bare bones of the earth
I’m gonna dig my heels
Into the ground

‘Cause when that ferryman comes
For to tally up my worth
I won’t leave much to find
That can be found

Well, I’m gonna heft my spade
Up upon my wearied back
I’m gonna keep last rites
Tucked in my soul

‘Cause when my coals burn low
And my train’s run outta track
Won’t be no one else
To dig my hole

Well, I
Got no companion
‘Cept the wind
And the sea

And when I’m
Cold and empty
They’re the ones
Who’ll bury me

Well, I’m gonna cast my stones
O’er the waters of this land
And by and by,
I’ll see them far and long

And when the night come down
For to take me hand in hand
This will be my tale
My Vagrant Song

Yeah, this will be my tale
My Vagrant Song

Lyrics:
I was three days’ ride from Tulsa
En route to Santa Fe
And there beneath the blazing sun
My horse began to sway

Was then I heard a thunderous sound
Come risin’ up behind
The hoofbeats of twelve horsemen
Their course locked on to mine

White Rider
White Rider
Ain’t fixin’ for to join your fated line

White Rider
White Rider
Don’t come to claim me ‘fore I had my time

Was four days’ ride from Tulsa
The Riders still in tow
They were dressed in white from toe to tip
Pale horses trod below

And last among their number
A chilling sight to see
The thirteenth horse lay empty
With a saddle meant for me

White Rider
White Rider
Ain’t fixin’ for to join your fated line

White Rider
White Rider
Don’t come to claim me ‘fore I had my time

Was five day’s ride from Tulsa
When I pitched into the sand
My legs gave out, my body lacked
The strength enough to stand

The Horsemen moved upon me then
Their leader to my side
Said “Son, I think the time has come
To saddle up and Ride.”

White Rider
White Rider
Well, day will come we all will join that line

White Rider
White Rider
They come to claim me now I had my time

Now I had my time

Lyrics:
Well, I got a fire in me
Don’t come from up above
Yeah I got debts to pay
But not the ones you’re thinkin’ of
And all of that fame and fortune
Bought me a hell of a lot to lose
But you ain’t gonna hear my cryin’
‘Cause I got that Soulsucker Blues

Well, I met a man ‘bout town
Smile as white as death
Eyes like rollin’ dice 
And easy bargains on his breath
He said you don’t need that pain, child
But how ‘bout somethin’ you could really use?
Yeah you ain’t gonna want for nothin’
When you get that Soulsucker Blues

Now I got a crater in my chest
This hole ain’t gonna heal
And the sting of guitar strings
Is ‘bout the only thing I feel
And if there were second chances
I don’t know which way I would choose
Yeah the thing about “down and out” is
 I need this Soulsucker Blues

Lyrics:
If I turn my eyes
From these cold blue skies
Won’t stay my worry
Won’t calm or quell

I can say my piece
I can barter my tale
Won’t ease my burden
But I might as well

There’s a heavy hand
Laid across this land
And it steers my journey
And it guides my pen

Press on, head high
‘Til the ink has run dry
‘Cause my story ain’t like
To wind home again


Well, I’ll beat my drum
‘Til my last day come
Or the mountain meets the sea

Yeah, the earth will shake
But the boughs she break
Won’t put no fear in me

‘Cause I see a land on high
So I pen my final line

Sky will shimmer and sun will shine
Where the water tastes like wine

Well, I’ve wandered ‘round
And there’s a code I found
Says a gentle manner
And a righteous way

This pair you’ll need
If you follow this creed
She’ll see you through
Until the judgement day

But there ain’t no law
Under tooth and claw
In the nest of vipers
Or the lion’s den

You can holler and wail
‘Til the echo goes stale 
Ain’t way nor manner
Gonna save you then

But I’ll beat my drum
‘Til my last day come
Or the mountain meets the sea

Yeah, the earth will shake
But the boughs she break
Won’t put no fear in me

‘Cause I see a land on high
So I pen my final line

Well, stories end and I’m closin’ mine
Where the water tastes like wine

So when the waters still
And you feel that thrill
For the open trail
Has slipped away

When the words won’t flow
When your fingers run slow
And the song you carry
Goes dull and gray.

Well, there’s a place I seen
Where the soul burns clean
And the verse it’s singin’
Rings pure and true

So cry no more
You just open that door
These shores of plenty
Gonna welcome you

And I beat my drum
‘Til my last day come
Or the mountain meets the sea

Yeah, the earth will shake
But the boughs she break
Won’t put no fear in me

‘Cause I see a land on high
So I pen my final line

I’ve said my fill and I’m feelin’ fine
Where the water tastes like wine

Every Music Box Is Horrifying

Every Music Box Is Horrifying (Piano)

I'm a composer for video games like Gunpoint, Frog Fractions 2, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, and more.

I love working in music for games because it's the only medium where the audience gets to interact with what they're hearing. Creating music that needs to adapt to a player's actions is seriously the most challenging and rewarding thing about this job. Getting to write in a new styles every day, work in a community of genuinely awesome audio people, and combine my two favorite things (games and music) for a living does not get old.

Also buying games is a tax write off now, which is pretty rad.

If you're interested in working with me on your next project, or you'd just like to hear more of my music, check out my website at www.ryanike.com. Thanks for listening!
