Eimar and Jorgen on Grace

A proposed opening theme for tamsyn muir's fantastic Locked Tomb Book Series

Locked Tomb Opening Sequence

Breathe Like You Should

This song was inspired by the plight of so many immigrating across the Mediterranean Sea...thousands of persons escaping from repression, social unrest, or even civil war. All searching for a brighter future.

Immigrant (feat. Fulvio Sigurtà)

"CALIGULA" LYRICS:

The emperor awoke today 
His golden curls in disarray 
Fever swole his holy brain 
He barely got one sandal laced 

Before he stumbled to the door 
His guards asleep there on the floor 
Stepping down the marble hall 
He braced his arm against the wall 

And all around him bounced the morning light 
All that he could smell was his own skin 
That’s when it hit him 
Like Jove’s lightning 

He said I want to be selfish 
I want to be selfish 
I have held myself upside down 
Like a purse above a crowd 
I feel all emptied out 
And I want to be selfish 

I want to be 
I want to be 
Three black snakes in an olive tree 
And I want to be a charioteer 
With a tattoo on each bicep 
I want to be 
I want to be 
The tallest wave in the Ionian Sea 
Oh, senators, are you hearing me? 
Write this down, you better write this 
Down 
Write this down, you better write this 
Down 

I awoke today to see 
A Caligula in me 
Reclining against my spleen 
Sweating, shouting, shivering 
And all day long, I keep him nice and small 
All night long, he works at growing tall 
That’s when he gets his 
Song in my head 

It goes I want to be selfish 
I want to be selfish 
I have held myself upside down 
Like a purse above a crowd 
I feel all emptied out 
And I want to be selfish 
I want to be selfish 
I have held myself upside down 
Till nothing more came out 
I feel all emptied out 
And I want to be 
I want to be....
I want to be selfish
