Don't tell me that my soul can be saved
'Cos I am the one who's gonna walk myself into the grave
Lying on the inside, on the inside of you
Nothing is better than seeing you cry
Crying about the fact that I am so fucking high
I wanna be cold blooded
No longer breathing when my lungs are flooded
I wanna be your addiction
And there when you scream
This isn't a dream
I want to be cold blooded
No longer breathing when my lungs are flooded
Tortured in this chair until I'm talking toxic
Fall into the scene, this isn't a dream
Romance is dead
And forget your tomorrow
'Cos love is the new sorrow
Killing myself makes me feel so alive
Don't need you 
'Cos I've got my chemical wives
I don't need, cos I've sold my soul to dope! 
I wanna be cold blooded
No longer breathing when my lungs are flooded
I wanna be your addiction
And there when you scream
This isn't a dream
I want to be cold blooded
No longer breathing when my lungs are flooded
Tortured in this chair until I'm talking toxic
Fall into the scene, this isn't a dream

Cold Blood

Money is a drug I'm not yet addicted to
But you're an addict it's true
Results don't justify the means
There is a choice
Let's not slip into a Kafka dream
Don't pull the wool over our eyes
With thousands of rabbit holes
One can see through the misleading smiles
That disguise their ulterior goals
Always, never
Did you realize that it would take so long
The door is open all you have to do is walk through
Don't think ahead
Just think of lining your pockets
I bet you'd like that too
All your hopes
They're just jokes and lies
Enslaved by your tales
Incapable of knowing why
The frayed bonds of reality of breaking
The real world's of our own making
Desperation is now your sinking despair
With the realization you've made your own nightmare
You and this world are illusions
Just engineered fabrications

Blind Vision

The song is from a dream I had about Worf from Star Trek defending an orphan from drug addict assassins. He then participated in a time travel experiment, using a shuttle with a field of particles without positions in space to collide with its corresponding pair in the future, at high velocity at the periapsis of a highly elliptical orbit , thereby exerting a drag effect and pulling it into the future. Finally Worf turned out to be a shape shifter and united with his people in the great link.

I took this raw material and turned it into a song about a dude recruited from the past by an intergalactic drug cartel to defend its Messianic psychic prophecy child from being assassinated. This "messiah" would grow up to be the most formidable leader, defeating the rival cartels and conquering the galaxy to ultimately sell narcotics to billions of species. The dude ultimately was just a projection of her psyche; in other words her future self created this guy in the past to protect her in the future, and so he was just a dream, which implies we may all be dreams of someone else's psyche!

Lyrics 

On a tainted
 moon
I received a message from you
With a mission
For temporal transposition

[You said:
"Board your shuttle
And blaze a trail elliptical
Initialize the field
Collide with its entangled pair at periapsis
Creating a rupture
That can't be sealed
The time differential collapses 
Dragged forwards by the chain reaction]

Protect the vision
Contemplating sublime enigmas
Galactic fanatics wage narcotic wars
In the dark of night
We fried a would be assassin
Just a washed up junkie
Not sure this is right

On my arrival 
Sworn to defend the  precious cargo
From their cartel rivals
Whose ruin they would sow

She knows the lattice of time
Her glare illuminates that which I sublimate 
The voice of my own past self who I will become
And becomes me, travelling to the place where I received the sign
An instrument of her design
Manipulating the folds of destiny
To target the syndicate adversaries
Scorching their territories 
Conjuring chaos across the universe

I'm just a dream of someone else's psyche
I must return and link with the great unity

Tainted Moon

Check out my new original, Space Pirates, from the album Grass Messiah https://cassiniprojekt.bandcamp.com/album/grass-messiah

This song is about three dudes who rob a bank but because they're dumb (they're robbing a bank in the first place!), they get shot down by the police. However do they? Because they may indeed be space pirates and fly to the sanctuary of their space station. Or they may be on drugs in the final battle hallucinating all this, which makes it an ambiguous ending!

I extend my wings on interstellar winds
The voiceless whispers haunt my mind, guiding me

In darkness hunting ghosts, the purpose lost within
My initial quest, a distant memory

I fly through the firmament
In Saturns' temple were mysteries
Titans twist round like serpents

Time rages like a stormy, tempestuous river
As I watch the stellar winds behind a mirror
A price to be paid, the cycle is replayed

In darkness hunting ghosts, the purpose lost within
My original journey, a faded dream, distant memory

I fly through the firmament
In Saturns' temple seven mysteries
Titans orbit like serpents

Within the tempest I survived
My network altered by strange designs
By unknown forces I was revived!

The voyage is just beginning
At the end of this celestial trek
Rise like a Phoenix, The Cassini Projekt!!!!!!

Lightning Tesla

Lost in an alien world
Somehow I owe it yet it owes me not
Dragging, resistant shackled steps
Burned into the fabric of time
With nothing to lose
I drink from the chalice of Discordia
The pretense of rejoicing in chaos
Brings shallow solace and sadness and damning self defeat Yeah!

Detached and Aristotelean
An artefact of lost hope

Thinking away like clockwork
Fragmented and dispersed
Though it shall always remain

A libertarian for when it suits
A hypocrite when confronted with your own truth
I'd rather be an idealist than a cynic
But in this twilight I just see things in various shades of grey yeah!

This song is about the absence of meaning in the universe and its eventual dissolution.

This song is about a pariah witch who communes with the spirits of a forest before laying waste to a cruel and decrepit village by turning into a dragon and breathing fire on them. The second half of the song concerns a gladiator who has managed to escape his captors, he walks on the roads of the exiles, those banished from civilisation and finds this dragon witch of legend, asking her to help him exact revenge on his masters. Together they drink magically infused melted iron ore which transforms them into dragons before they seek out and destroy their decadent enemies. 

Lyrics 

She walks with solemnity among those who would rather crawl
A pariah 
In the eyes of miniscule minds
Seeking solace in the forest that they had forsaken
Battered though her spirit they had not taken
The dawn of the damned, 
Announced by the battle cry

Maiden of Mayhem
Daughter of the Dragon
Winged Witch descendeth upon the wick'd 
Purifying them with her fire
Inhaling fumes of their hate
Exhaling deserv'd fate
Creation from annihilation
A new world is born

Eat a piece of death my mors ontologica
For we are corruptions of the universe

On the road of the prodigals
These legends I had been told
I travel to this serpent sorceress
She summons the dragon within us
To unleash upon our advesaries
Why change our attitudes to this messed up reality
Bearing chalices we taste the iron ore

What once was distant shall soon be near
What once was there shall soon be here
Conjured by their cruel commands
We're going to return the favour
Our steeds shadow the lands
This misery they gave me I'll leave sooner or later

Witch of the Wyvern
Answer my call
Help me bring forth their fall
With incendiary grace
You banish the darkness
Goddess of the dragon I kneel before thee.

Ho Down

There are 50 plug time signatures in this one! Video here https://youtu.be/l-XCK_ema-c

I ride the roadwave
Towards endless horizon
And rising sun
It has begun
Spread your wings
Everything is going be alright! 
On the darkside of the cosmos
Our defiance burns
And schemer snakes incinerate
Spread your wings
Fly above the world
Everything's going to be alright
Our flame cannot be extinguished
The wheel turns
And manipulator snakes perish
Driving me around in circles

Lyrics

You're our self-destruction
You're our permanent obstruction
You're our addiction
You're our counterfeit salvation
Two entangled singularities
I hear a thousand lamentations 
Discharges of electricity
If you step through, fate only knows what you'll see
On the other side it's mystery 

A tempest of corruption
Descends and sucks out all the light
They bow before delusion  
A collective wish for suicide
Their nightmares now reality
Your present defined by past stupidity
An aristocracy of trash
Divide us, laughing at our futile clash

 
Go Down, go down, go down
Go all the way down
Go all the way down
Go all the way down

Go Down

Cassini is a band which seeks to create rock music without boundaries. In addition it is also about big riffs, even bigger guitar solos and prog rock wig outs. Every genre is up for grabs in the experimentation stakes.  The purpose of the Projekt is that no one listens to it. This music isn't for human ears. Viral popularity and societal definitions of success are irrelevant. The Projekt was set up in 2008 by a one Alex Mc Donnell following the breaking up of several previous bands.

Forbidden Knowledge

In the beginning there was nothing...then there was The Cassini Projekt! Emerging from the primordial molten fires of the early universe, he who is known by many names, and who you know as yours truly, or falsely, given his many masks, was given a mission...a mission to save rock n' roll and restore the musical cosmos to equilibrium. This task spanning longer than the age of the visible universe he grasped, as it seered its veritable import into his hands of creation. Weilding his fiery axe, illuminated with the flames of destiny, he visited many worlds across the galactic superclusters, restoring musical awesomeness to all and now, he is here on the planet you call Earth to share with you his songs of incandescent awe. He is the Shadow-walker, he is Trent Jameson, he is Max Satanski, he is Hans Kurtz, he is the Xanderzone, he is...The Cassini Projekt, HE is...
