Lyrics

Dust in my visor, blood on my sleeve,
Dropped in the canyon with no time to breathe.
Radio crackles, someone screams my name—
“Marshal, we’re burning, they lit this town in flame.”

Check my mag, check my gear,
Tell myself, “Just one more year.”
Hit record, but the words feel wrong—
We haven’t talked right in so damn long.

“Hey girl… I know we ain’t been close.
But I’m still tryin’, that’s the part that hurts the most.”

“I’ll be home before the sunrise,
Tell your mom I’m leaving this life behind.
Got one more fire I gotta put out tonight—
One more ghost to clear from my mind.”
I cling to hope like it’s the last truth I own…
That’s the promise in my last transmission home.

Found dead streets and broken stone,
Not a living soul—just echoes and bone.
Beacon blinking in the smoke-choked sand,
Signals dying like a trembling hand.

Nothing left here, just a trail gone cold,
Just me and a story that will never be told.

“Hey girl… I know you’ve grown,
And I missed too much while chasing the unknown…”

“I’ll be home before the sunrise,
Tell your mom I’m trying to straighten out my ways.
Got one more nightmare I need to face tonight—
Then I’m coming home to better days.”
But the canyon walls are crawling like a tomb of stone…
And I’m whispering my last transmission home.

Ground starts shaking, sky bleeds red,
Suit alarm screams, “You’re almost dead.”
Air turns razor-thin, vision blurs—
Only one thought left, and it’s her.

Your old drawing in my glove—
We used to fight, but there was love.
Hit “Send,” I choke the pain—
“I’m coming home… we’ll try again…”

“I’ll be home before the sunrise…
I swear I’ll make it right this time…”
But the canyon falls and crushes blood and bone—
And I fade away with my last transmission home.

No tower burning bright that night,
Relay dead, no guiding light.
The call he followed came too late—
A colony long sealed by fate.

He hit “Send” beneath the stone…
But the message died before it shone.
No signal left that shattered dome—
No message sent.
No daughter shown.
Just a marshal buried far from home.

Lyrics

They carved his name on a weathered stone,
Said the marshal died out there alone.
His teenage girl visits when the sky turns red,
Talks to a name she thinks is dead.

She sets her flowers down and wipes her eyes—
Trying not to break, trying not to cry.
No one sees the stranger watching from afar,
Dust on his boots, shadow under stars.

At sunset over Haven Ridge, the sky turns gold and wide,
They bow their heads for a hero they believe already died.
But in the wind that sweeps across that ridge,
A tired man watches the light… and hides.

I watched her trace my name on that stone,
Voice low like she’s on her own.
Stronger now, but the hurt runs deep—
She learned too young how to lose and keep.

I stepped from the shadows when the light grew thin,
Heart beating loud like a storm within.
She turned, froze—eyes full of fire,
Like she’d caught a ghost standing by her pyre.

She didn’t run, didn’t scream—
Just whispered shaky, like caught between:
“…Dad? No… that can’t be real…”
And something in me finally healed.

I said, “It’s me… I’m home, I swear,”
And she stepped close like she didn’t care
If the whole damn world was coming down—
She hugged me hard, right off the ground.

At sunset over Haven Ridge, I broke the lie they told.
Held my daughter close as the sky burned red and gold.
For the first time since that canyon stole my soul,
I wasn’t gone… I was whole.

Gunships circled, dust turned dark,
Government boys rolled in hard.
“Marshal Hale, step forward now—
Stand alone, we’ll show you how.”

I moved to walk, but she blocked my path,
Eyes sharp as a rattler’s wrath.
Then old man Kade stepped up beside—
Then half the damn town, tired of the lies.

A wall of folks who’d had enough,
Hearts beating bold and rough.
I raised the files, the proof they made—
Showed the clone and the crooked trade.

Watched the captain’s iron break,
Just a man forced to choose what stake.

At sunset over Haven Ridge, the truth finally hit the sky,
Soldiers dropped their rifles as the people raised their cry.
Badges hit the dirt and the courthouse caught fire—
A quiet little town sparked a frontier uprising choir.

They carved my name on a stone of grief,
But tonight that stone found its relief.
Walkin’ home with her hand in mine—
We left the ghosts behind.
And on this ridge where the red sun shines…
I finally made it home this time.

Sunset at Haven Ridge

Lyrics

Woke in a medbay under busted light,
Doc said they found me hanging on to life.
Stumbled off that ship onto a dust-red moon,
Just wanted a comm and a flight home soon.

Bar went silent when I walked inside—
People staring like I’d already died.

Then I saw what froze me in that place—
A poster on the wall with my own face.

There’s a wanted sign with my face on the wall,
Same scar, same eyes, same marshal’s drawl.
Says I burned a peace convoy and watched ’em fall—
“Shoot on sight,” written six feet tall.
And I can’t help thinking, if she saw this case…
My own damn daughter’d hate the man with my face.

Ripped it down, heart sinking low,
List of crimes I don’t even know.
Says I killed folks after I “died,”
While I lay frozen on a canyon side.

Found an outpost, broke the lock,
Pulled the footage from a convoy dock.
Hit “Play” and watched my double move—
Every step a perfect groove.

He moved like me, spoke like me—
But something wrong was underneath.

On the holoscreen, I watched my shadow burn,
Convoy ships that never got return.
Every shot he fired looked like mine,
Every word was right on time.
Like some demon born to take my place—
I stared into the killer with my face.

Then the screen glitched, picture tore,
Lines of code spilled from the core.
Barcode vessels under skin,
Metal ghosts tucked deep within.

Clone-made bones and stolen voice—
Government’s hands and a devil’s choice.
They built a monster and gave it my name,
Left me for dead and framed me the same.

Now I’m running from a lie I never chose,
Hunted down by friends and foes.
He’s out there still, burning space—
A puppet wearing my disgrace.
I kill the feed and vanish without a trace…
With a bounty on the man who stole my face.

Wanted Sign With My Face

Nimm meine Hand

Original song for my Dungeons and Dragons group. Inspired by an upcoming adventure to obtain a crystal for the Staff of Power they wish to forge. This is a remastered version from my original.

Lyrics
---
The flames awaken... Mortals dare approach!

Through the misty dawn, the heroes ride. To the mountain’s heart where legends hide. In the depths of flame, where shadows cower, They seek the crystal for the staff of power!

The forge is hot, the flames run wild. Through the lava’s roar, no path is mild.
In their hands, the quest’s begun. To claim the heart of the burning sun!

Oh, the Fire Titan’s rage burns bright. In the mountain's heart, beneath the light. With molten fists and eyes of flame. They guard the crystal, ancient name. To craft the staff with arcane might, The heroes battle through the fire! through the fire!

In caverns deep, the lava flows, Through molten rivers, the danger grows.
The crystal waits in Titan’s keep, The road is long, the cliffs are steep.
With every step, the heat draws near, And other creatures breed their fear.
Molten serpents twist and strike, Lava hounds bark in the firelight!

Oh, the Fire Titan’s rage burns bright, In the mountain's heart, beneath the light. With molten fists and eyes of flame, They guard the crystal, ancient name. To craft the staff with arcane might, The heroes battle through the fire! through the fire!

The Titan Roars, its voice a Quake! The mountain shakes, the stone walls Break! The heroes stand, they will not flee! For the Staff of Power is their key!

Oh, the Fire Titan’s rage burns bright, In the mountain's heart, beneath the light. With molten fists and eyes of flame, They guard the crystal, ancient name. To craft the staff with arcane might, The heroes battle through the fire! through the fire!

With crystal in hand, the battle won, The forge now quenched, their journey done! A legend born in mountain’s flame, The Staff of Power soon to claim! So sing this song, of heroes bold, Who braved the heat, the flames untold. Now in their hearts, the fire still glows, The tale of legends, ever grows!

The Fire Titan's Forge

The Fire Titan's Forge (Remastered)

Genre-fluid music exploring intimacy, darkness, and emotional tension.
A fusion of alternative and electronic soundscapes with cinematic mood and restrained vocals.
Created for late-night listening and inner spaces.

My goal is to create music focused on Tabletop role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder and more.

R.I.P. Captain Dreadbone.

This music was born from the mind of an undead pirate captain, crafted by skeletal hands, refined by the minds of zombies, promoted by vampires, through the use of traditional software and machine learning, leaving no soul behind to claim.
