11. Lazy Bones

curse these lazy bones and this rubbish home
no one answers the phone when they know you're alone

drew a bird to show your dad, but then you grew up fast
made a song when you were sad like it's all you had

see my skeleton
he thinks his name is Ben
in his dreams he wished that he would really exist

have you ever had visions going mad
you'll read the words when we're through and think this tune is about you
lazy bones

12. Fin and Flame (Morphogenesis)

red animal-man behind the shadow wall
heal the broken jaw
mixed up the medicine, ate you up inside
and the visions died

did we treat you right

blood brothers out of the ground
the others' sweet dreams soured
don't try, why make a sound
eyes shining all around

transmission from a phantom plane, here to save the day
before all fades away

farewell, from the beast parade

blood brothers out of the ground
the others' sweet dreams soured
don't try, why make a sound
eyes shining all around

13. Nightmare Nation

nightmare nation, moving through the best of you

like a hungry titan in the morning violence
shine like the diamonds in the mother's iris
blue-law, chainsaw

everyone's a prophet on empty pages
they love to sing it in the angels' language
warlocks, smallpox

nightmare nation, moving through the best of you
time is impatient
blood-maroon head-cocoon

blue-law, chainsaw

nightmare nation, moving through the best of you
time is impatient
blood-maroon head-cocoon

rise rigid nation
silver-haired billionaires
rise rigid nation

14. Powderkeg

she's my sunlight-powderkeg
she lived my life then she lived my death
scream, scream in the whisper zone
rattle your cages and rattle your bones

god's gods, remember me when you're building houses in the evergreens
breath out eternities and breath back in all of this love from me

bound up on the ground
the limitless ocean is upside down

15. Mercy Skull pt. 1: Garden of the Highborn

search for what came before
memories that turn to dreams
then, gone

seeds form
the living, born
into ever-being

16.  Mercy Skull pt. 2: A Child's Crusade

all of the world was alive with love and light

do you speak the truth
if you do, we'll follow you all the way

go anywhere for anything
it's all the same
doesn't matter anyway
just a game

make-believe you're powerless 
unless you play the game
what would happen if the rules, 
and prize of fools, became a joke
priests of ancient days will ring 
the bells and sing for a child's crusade
yet, beasts that lie in grasses high, 
killing time, we remain

leaving friends to make life again
say goodnight at the speed of light

18. Mercy Skull pt. 4 & 5:  Talisman / the Forgetting

the talisman i hold will tell me where to go
if i could only recall the meaning of it all
all

i know that we were once one
we walked below the great sun
they'll try to keep us apart
to hold the light from the dark
no, time says

"we spoke a revelation so many times ago
we lived within our vision, in hell's afterglow
we traveled into darkness only to see the sun
another new beginning, random experience"

so if i have the power, "the power"
i know i'll have the will, "i will"
then i will bring you something, "something?"
to let you know i still, "i still," can, "can"
see through
and love is true
even from
"beyond"

Fuck The Government Party 2069 aka (Betrayal of the Mystery Masters)

Gott Der Lila Sumpf

Secret Ghost Champion fluidly blends diverse genres –– progressive rock, psychedelia, folk, and pop –– with striking emotional depth and often all in the same song. But unlike many avant-garde acts, SGC never hides behind effects. Instead, the band lets its feverish finger-tapping guitar solos and grandiose, sweeping arrangements do the talking
