It's been a while since I posted a new song here. A couple have been finished in the meantime - this one is a collaboration of musicians from USA, UK, Switzerland and Germany:

Time:

Volume:

It was inspired by a former sports reporter in the US who now thinks the world is dominated by lizard men from space who can transform their bodies into human beings. :D

Lizard Men

Vocals: George Williams

Lizard men are living in the center of the Hollow Earth
Lizard men are living in the center of the Hollow Earth

They barter our souls they take what they can for whatever their worth
They gorge on the misery that feeds their sense of mirth
Dragging our minds into the confines of darkest space
keeping us blind so we toe the line we run in place

Lizard men are living on the top of a pyramid scheme
Lizard men live on the top of a pyramid scheme

They fatten their stock playing devious schemes on our foolish dreams
With the tools that money can buy that power can bring
They are burrowed inside with the wealth they hide in the secret vaults
Plotting the charts that will lead to the path of total control

Their eyes are yellow and their bite is sharp
big, suited narrow minds an' they feed like sharks
Sucking out the marrow from our mammal bones
While they live like Pharaohs in the catacombs

Their game is to turn us into happy slaves
From the moment of birth till we're in our graves
The Zealots will run with their hearts ablaze
and the flock will follow right to the end of days

Their eyes are yellow and their bite is sharp
big, narrow minds an' they feed like sharks
Sucking out the marrow from our mammal bones
While they live like Pharaohs in their catacombs
Dragging our minds into the confines of a deep dark space
They live burrowed inside with the wealth they hide in the secret vaults

Lizard men come from the blackest hole in space
Lizard men come from the blackest hole in space

Thanks all for your nice comments! I want to point out that the music was all done by Andy - I just added the sound effects and the piano and synth part and did the production (mix & mastering).

It was a pleasure to work with those guys, and I hope we will do a lot more songs together.

Regards,
