I have now decided
I am aiming for the top
Nothing will stand in my way
as I reach for the dizzying heights above
I know how many have tried it
and I know how many have failed
but I won't be one of them, by God
'cos I've got the will to take it to the limit
It's my destiny calling, I have seen it in my dreams
I have heard the call to greatness
It's the music that ringing in my ears
when I close my eyes
Focus your mind, get the balance right
Ignite the fire in the wire
like a paradroid
Iron determination
and nerves that are made of steel
Obstacles falling like hay before me
as I fight my way to an ever higher power
Deck after deck, to the top of the world
Fear is unknown to me
as I blast through the doors with my field of force
Write my name on the walls of the halls of the greatest masters
When I reach level nine hundred ninety nine
Let the haters spit and cuss
Let the nay-sayers see for themselves
what they wouldn't believe
Focus your mind, get the balance right
Ignite the fire in the wire
like a paradroid

I have seen the aliens in invisible flying saucers
attack planet Earth!
But that's not everything there is to tell about it:
I have seen also dinosaurs and werewolves fight the aliens
with the help of giant bat-riding ninjas
and cybernetic knights in orbit
People walking in the streets
People working at their stupid jobs
And I have seen the aliens in their flying saucers
attack this very planet Earth!
The mundanes will never realize what's going on!
They will never see the end is nigh!
And I have seen the werewolves and dinosaurs fight the aliens
and I have seen them falling from the sky!

Some things don't die — they have to be destroyed
They're controlling what you hear
They hear everything you say
They are everything you fear
up until your dying day
Do you think it's faceless constraints or is the lizard real?
The lizard is real, the lizard is real, I say the lizard is real!
There is no history
There's no biology
Only one thing I see
The phone company
It's always the phone, it's always the phone
always the phone company!
I told you so, I told you so, just saying I told you so!

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground
and swallows circling with their shimmering sound
Frogs in the pools singing at night
Wild plum trees in tremulous white
And not one will know of the war, not one
will care at last when it is done
And not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
if mankind perished utterly
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn
would scarcely know that we were gone
And not one will know of the war, not one
will care at last when it is done
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly

song EP, "Engage!", was published in September 2015.
