It's an alien invasion! The loud, short in temper (and stature) Invader Zim aims to take this tournament for the Irken Empire! He's even recruited a human to help him along the way, an idiotic child named Billy. Sharing the voice work of Richard Horvitz, this unlikely pair brings with them sources of death and aliens, alongside a surplus of music from dark and horror-based children's entertainment. When these two work together, prepare for doom; so long as hubris doesn't get in the way of progress. They've certainly got more than a grim chance at winning at least.

- Tracks featuring songs from Dark Children's Media
(ex: Invader Zim, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Gravity Falls)

[S.A.L.T x When Worlds Collide] Phase 1 ~ Swingin' With Dragons

Track by: @unreleased-tourney-tracks

The sun rises in the morning. You get up, feeling the usual calm stillness of the early day. Summer is ending. School is about to begin once more. You probably feel many things, think many thoughts, or maybe...you feel nothing. The familiar nothingness of the void in your soul corrupts your train of thought. Maybe its that girl that won't give you a chance, maybe its a family that thinks they're better than you, maybe you lost something. But either way, you're alone with your thoughts, and your thoughts are a cruel host. You open up your computer or phone, try to numb your brain, hey why not check out those tournament things you like. You see an upload by Take the Train. You click on the upload.
Nothing huge today kids, just a nice chill track. Grab a drink and reflect. Until next time.

Too Wild To Stay

We built the cities, tall and strong and bright,
Tamed the rivers, banished endless night.
Eight billion mouths, we learned to feed and fuel,
Made industry roar, against the old, harsh rule.
But still we wander, strangers in this land,
Each a lonely atom in the cosmic sand.

How do we build a soul that all can share?
A common pulse, a light beyond compare?
A single purpose, for the human race?
A guiding code that finds its perfect place?
How do we build a soul, a unifying art,
To program peace into every human heart?

We shaped the planet, bent it to our will,
With hands of steel and minds that can't be still.
We shattered borders, and we bridged the seas,
With screens that glow, and satellites with ease.
But still we fight, for tribe and ancient ground,
A silent fracture, without any sound.

How do we build a soul that all can share?
A common pulse, a light beyond compare?
A single purpose, for the human race?
A guiding code that finds its perfect place?
How do we build a soul, a unifying art,
To program peace into every human heart?

It is the final, monumental quest,
To find the peace within our troubled breast.
A new existence, forged by thought and plan,
The ultimate creation of the hand of man.
How do we build a soul that all can share?
How do we build a light beyond compare?

We will build a soul that all can share!
A common pulse, a light beyond compare!
A single purpose, for the human race!
A guiding code, for all of time and space!
To program kindness, a unifying art,
To forge a brand new soul and a brand new start.
