Available on the NEW album “Casting Shadows!“
The album is coming to Spotify and other services in 1-3 days.
It’s long overdue, but this is my tribute to Lies of P! What an incredible game, definitely my favorite of the non-Fromsoft Soulslikes. The song follows the emotional journey of Pinocchio who has been created under false pretenses in an apocalyptic world of puppets. As he realizes the manipulation that’s been pulling his strings all along, he decides to avenge his creator’s blasphemy.
This is also the first song of the new album, Casting Shadows! This is the only song on the album NOT about Elden Ring, but there’s lots more dark fantasy music to be had there. Be sure to check that out in the link above and go ahead and grab a CD if you’d like one before the preorders run out. All those new songs will be hitting youtube shortly!

Lyrics:
[verse]
Morality impaired
By the blood and the oil that
Stains my synthetic hair
Though I push and I pull
My conscience it goes nowhere
A soul that feeds the sorrow
Dreads tomorrow
Hunter of my own kind
Does it beg for the question
When I have crossed the line
Could the fears and the memories
Ever seem like they’re mine
Or is this shell left hollow
Robbed or borrowed
[pre-chorus]
So a scream displaces
In a sea of mouthless faces
From the wake of you
Creation will destroy
I have lived your long deception
While I felt programmed affection
Just another of
Your broken, twisted toys
[chorus]
So now you hang me on the headstone
While you tell me to be brave
But I have cut the strings completely
From the tangled weave you made
Is it the heart you gave that cursed me
Knowing soon you’d tear it out
A father’s moment to speak truly
So tell me who’s the liar now?
[verse]
Comforting words to me
Have been made out of lies like
Cosmetic surgery
But the stitches have pulled and
Blind as I was, I see
The care I saw was breathless
Dead and selfish
Gears spinning towards a task
When you told and assured me
I was the best, the last
Taught the right from the wrong
From your putrid ways, your past
Words from snakes are worthless
You deserve this
[pre-chorus]
So a scream displaces
In a sea of mouthless faces
From the wake of you
Creation will destroy
I have lived your long deception
While I felt programmed affection
Just another of
Your broken, twisted toys
[chorus]
So now you hang me on the headstone
While you tell me to be brave
But I have cut the strings completely
From the tangled weave you made
Is it the heart you gave that cursed me
Knowing soon you’d tear it out
A father’s moment to speak truly
So tell me who’s the liar now?
[bridge]
A fool
Equipped with god’s own tools
Will always break the rules
Just because he can, he can
With his own hands
To break
Away the human fate
A birth divine and fake
When grief so kindly
Turns to madness
In the ashes
How
Do you think it hurts to trust a monster
Now
All the pain I bore has made me stronger
Bow
To the maker of a wrath divine
Like you were mine
[chorus]
So now you hang me on the headstone
While you tell me to be brave
But I have cut the strings completely
From the tangled weave you made
Is it the heart you gave that cursed me
Knowing soon you’d tear it out
A father’s moment to speak truly
So tell me who’s the liar now?
Who is the liar now?
