The Man Who Should Be King Heads bow in line, peaceful sunshine, Heads bow in tune, they'll be mine soon The kingdom of Exemplar is a terrible place Its customs are archaic and its laws a disgrace The one thing he can't handle if it's said to his face Is that the King is quickly running out of time and space And I'm the man who should be king Think of the golden age I'll bring And I shall turn things upside-down When I have seized the kingdom's crown Heads fall in time, high treason crime Heads fall in tune, he'll be mine soon And I'm the man who should be King, another golden age I'll bring And I shall make this kingdom sound, when I have claimed the golden round When I am king, I'm going to add protections to the law So no-one can be killed without a trial any more 'cause that's not right. And I'm the man who should be king And hear the bells of judgement ring And I shall make this kingdom sound When I have claimed the golden round Skulls fall in time, high treason crime Skulls fall in tune, the throne... The throne will be mine soon I'm the man who should be king Think of the golden age I'll bring And I shall make this kingdom sound When I have claimed the golden round The kingdom of Exemplar was a terrible place Its customs were archaic and its laws a disgrace The thing he couldn't handle when I showed him my face Was that I'd come to kill the King and now I've taken his place

I'm Daryil 09:32
I'm Daryil Come child, you've turned twenty-three Now you're a part of my dynasty Come young one, you've grown all your wings Now we must talk of many things I'm Daryil, and I have the power I'll be there for you in your darkest hour I am so much, much more than a man, The great, immortal head of my clan Don't be afraid, I'm not some evil madman My law is just and ought to make sense You only kill in self-defence And if you ever eat someone's soul I'll stuff your corpse down a 6ft hole I'm Daryil, and I have the power I'll bring you comfort in your darkest hour I am so much, much more than you know My giant form is now just for show But don't be scared, I'm not some evil psycho Don't you see? Don't you see? You're the youngest face in my family And I know everything you've done, and I know everywhere you've been And I know everyone you've met, and I know everything you've seen And I know everything you love, and I know everything you hate And I know when you've played it false And I know when you've played it straight, I've seen your soul I'm Daryil, and I have the power I'll bring you comfort in your darkest hour I am so much, much more than a man The great, immortal head of my clan Don't be afraid, I'm not some evil madman Come child, hearken to me I want what's best for my family Our clan has status, power and such I do not ask for very much I'm Daryil, and I have the power My own ascension was my finest hour I guess a tri-wing is kind of odd Fifty foot tall and almost a god But don't be scared, I'm not some reckless hotrod Don't you see? Don't you see? You're the youngest face in my family

A Hundred Years (or, the SAIA song) First Impression - Born with wings The world outside is vicious, the world outside is cold You'd better listen, or you'll die before you're old There's much to teach you, there's much to learn You need the basics or you'll end up ashes in a funeral urn Give us a hundred years or so, we'll teach you all you need to know Give us a hundred years or more, it's safer when you know the score Your parents never told you, they kept you in the dark They felt that you'd be safer if you lacked that vital spark Well, what you know can hurt you, if you are told too young A child's careless words can get the whole lot of you taken out and hung Second Impression - Running for your life Third impression - The Academy Our school is here to help you, we'll teach you what we know We'll keep you well-protected 'till it's safe for you to go The course is pretty weighty, it's going to take a while And we'll be here to help you when you go through the traditional denial Fourth impression - The Tour Roll up, roll up, kid, it's time to have fun, Now you're enrolled here the lesson's begun There's plenty to do here, there's plenty to see, all this and more in our academy We'll teach you to pose as a regular man, it's safest to do this whenever you can There's people are there who would cut off your head “The only good demon is one that is dead!” Step right up! This way to the library . Step right up! This way to the pool Step right up! This way to the fencing room. Step right up! We'll have a friendly duel We'll teach you to hide and we'll teach you fight You won't need to sleep, you can party all night There's plenty to do here, there's plenty to see All this and more in our academy We'll teach you to heal and we'll teach you kill To make people better, or make them feel ill We'll teach you to do good, and how to do bad To make people happy or make people sad Step right up! This way to the torture room. Step right up! This way to the gym Step right up! This way to the science lab Step right up! Indulge your every whim Now we can be deadly, regardless of age, we easily fly into a violent rage We'll teach you to keep your emotions in check To save you from getting an axe in the neck And now we've completed our whistle-stop tour Just ask the headmistress and she'll tell you more And if you've glazed over, and don't understand, There's Bela Santiago's Exploding Head Band! Fifth impression - Bela Santiago's Exploding Head Band Sixth impression - Give Us A Hundred Years Or So The world outside is vicious, the world outside is cruel But we can teach you how to live and how to keep your cool We hope you'll join us, we'll teach you what you are With some encouragement, we're certain that you'll end up going far Give us a hundred years or so, we'll teach you all you need to know Give us a hundred years or more, it's safer when you know the score

about

This is my 11th effort, recorded in 2013-2014. The closing track just grew and grew so the album ended up with just five tracks so that it might stand a chance at fitting on a 12" vinyl pressing if I eventually do that.

Recorded using the Old Ways at The Lab, Cwmbran 2013-2014
Mixed 21-24 Oct. 2014
Mastering by Alex Balzama at Swift Solutions, London, Feb 2015.

Greetings go out to Keaton, Ren, Wuff and Chaosmage, Merlin and co.
Thanks go out to the Rosegarden team, to all at RMGI, ATR, MRL and HomeRecording for keeping the analogue dream alive.

Cover by Keetah at Spacecat Studios: spacecat-studios.com
