Demons (Work It)

* Lady of the Lake *

I call upon you, Lady of the Lake, high priestess of Avalon, mistress of water's pulse and sovereign of the sacred feminine. In your shimmering depths lie transformation, guidance, guardianship. You raised Lancelot, gifted Excalibur, and stood at the boundary between worlds, nature and magic, mortal and divine. Known by many names, Nimue, Viviane, Morgan, your magic flows like a hidden river, both nurturing and unfathomable.
Once, I swam into those same depths, seeking escape, surrendering to fate. I swam as far as I could, until my strength surrendered to the dark water. At that edge between breath and oblivion, I was pulled back, saved by a stranger, just in time. That lake, my grave and my womb, became my crucible, my dark night of the soul, and the birthplace of my awakening.

Lady of the Lake, I step into your liquid threshold. I reclaim witchcraft's devotion, sobriety's clarity, and self-love's sacred armor.
Guide me. Guard this path I walk. Let your water wash away my fear, yet consecrate my purpose. Let this invocation be a vow: to rise, to protect, to honor the divine current within and around me.

This is my offering, to the waters, to the darkness from which light must emerge, 
to the lineage of priestesses before me, and to every heart that hears this call. May it stir within you that ancient knowing: you are not meant to merely survive-but to wield your rebirth, your power, your light.

This is my offering.

Shōkaku Express

My track from the Chiptunes = Win and Forest compilation "Forest = ВИН!".

It's very much a track of two halves.

Slip (taken from Forest = ВИН!)

This is an extended track of a theme song I did for The 8Bit Misfit YouTube channel. He is a cool guy so check out his content!

This is the only track I could salvage from my recent HD failure. It was going to have vocals and further tweaks added to it, but in it's current state it would feel out of place adding those things to a WIP Wav file. The solo is even accidentally modulated! (I have a love/hate relationship with it) 

So I decided to just release it and have something out for everyone to listen to while i work on the new EP. 

Thank you all for everything and stay tuned. :)
