Remember The Canterbury

Based on the Irish traditional song "Whiskey in the Jar" and the book series/TV show The Expanse. 
Big thanks to @oaklandpirate for the Lang Belta help! 

Whiskey Ere Da Jar:
As I was traveling out towards the far famed Eros Station
A Mao-Kwikowski freighter showed on my navigation
I demanded their surrender with a tight beam transmission
They rendered me their cargo without much opposition
Mi Pirata da Kuxaku
I'm on your radio, I'm on your radio
Desh Whiskey Ere Da Jar

I made off with my plunder of oxygen and protein
Filled my entire cargo hold from the floor up to the ceiling
and as I made my getaway they didnt even follow
A victory to Celebrate, much whiskey i did swallow
Mi Pirata da Kuxaku
I'm on your radio, I'm on your radio
Desh Whiskey Ere Da Jar

I thought that i had lost them so i took a little slumber
i dreamt of all the credits i'd gain with all my treasure 
and as i lay there sleeping i negected to consider
that deep within my stolen goods, they'd hidden a transmitter
Mi Pirata da Kuxaku
I'm on your radio, I'm on your radio
Desh Whiskey Ere Da Jar

It didn't take them long to trace the beacon til they found me
By the time that i woke up their ships they did surround me
for sure i was outnumbered and there was no mistakin
there was nowhere to run to so a prisoner i was taken
Mi Pirata da Kuxaku
I'm on your radio, I'm on your radio
Desh Whiskey Ere Da Jar

if anyone can aid me its my brother in the OPA
But he's on Ceres Station so many million miles away
If he comes to get me we'll go roaming through the system
i'll leave behind this jail cell that they tried to lock me up in
Mi Pirata da Kuxaku
I'm on your radio, I'm on your radio
Desh Whiskey Ere Da Jar

some take  delight in the chaos and destruction 
others take delight in exploring new dimensions
but me i take delight in the juice of the barley
and chasing pretty belter girls in the morning bright and early
Mi Pirata da Kuxaku
I'm on your radio, I'm on your radio
Desh Whiskey Ere Da Jar

Whiskey Ere Da Jar

Remember the Canterbury (Studio Recording)

From the depths of the Mariner Valley
To the peak of Olympus Mons
All the hardworkin Martians
Are rising up with the dawn
Got the best of the best doin science
developin technology
and terraformin this planet of dust
Into forests and rivers and streams

Someday the oceans 
will reach to the sky
Someday the tall grass 
in the prairies will grow high
Someday this planet
Will be burstin with life
We'll work together
And Mars will Rise

Everyone's part of this mission
We'll keep goin after I'm gone
Though this will take generations
You know that we'll keep fightin on
You can bet when we sweat there's a purpose
we're fixin to get the job done
Everyone knows that ya don't mess with Mars
You can take it up with my plasma shotgun

Someday the oceans 
will reach to the sky
Someday the tall grass 
in the prairies will grow high
Someday this planet
Will be burstin with life
We'll work together
And Mars will Rise

Mars Will Rise (Demo)

Imim showxa "Du, Belta; Du."
Dewe da livit da Belta
Wang diye ando du wowk xiya
And you're two days nearer dead
Keting mi kang du?

Mi ta wa tékimang ere Séteshang Anderson
Mosh ando natet, beratna
Asilik lowng fong da sowng
Sodzha inyalowda tili showxa dépelesh mi kang unte na kang go
Desh tim detim mang im mowsh leva sif xox!

Anderson un' Hyosung tili tenye da refineri
Inyalowda owlesi kang go pashang was shetéxeting 
Mi tili dansa wit deting nakangekeng
Milowda na towchu inyalowda
Milowda na anyimal!

"Tolowda mowsh gif-peye mo fo owkwa unt' éreluf"
Bossmang pensa shukumi mi 
Im towchu fong beréf
Milowda ta du im fo maliwala milowda
U.N. Marine, imalowda na listening
ando du tung

Mi ta wa tékimang ere Séteshang Anderson
Mosh ando natet, sesata
Asilik lowng fong da sowng
Sodzha inyalowda tili showxa dépelesh mi kang unte na kang go
Desh tim detim mang im mowsh leva sif xox!

Plugging In

Plugging In (Instrumental)

a folktronic song about the pros and cons of consumer grade cybernetic enhancements

lyrics:
I am just human
an enlightened animal
conscious but fallible
i am just carbon
skin hair and fingernails
defeated as my lungs exhale
how is this normal?
everyone i know has got a list of complications
all that's internal
is churning tumultuous
petty and impetuous

i am not finished
i'm still on my way
time will diminish until tomorrow is today
there aren't enough minutes
for all that i want to say
its got to get better
i'm plugging in

i am just stardust
the remnants of fairytales and classified papertrails
they are among us
stoic but satisfied
with intellect amplified
i'm going to join them
governed by circuitry
replacing my anatomy
plug in my brainstem
modified sentience
cerebral affluence

i am not finished
i'm still on my way
time will diminish until tomorrow is today
there aren't enough minutes
for all that i want to say
its got to get better
i'm plugging in

shut up take my money
i don't care what it costs
with so much to gain 
i don't care what is lost
i'll be upgraded
my brain will adjust
and things will get better 
life will get better 
i will be better.
