THE MASQUERADE Spinning around in a sea of serpents Waiting to see They're almost round our feet Walking around in a daze of illusion Fading away This game of life we play Mocking the crowd behind veils of delusion Spread the seed Of doubt on which to feed Drowning in shallow and empty intrusions Sucking the life From every mortal being Spraying the ground with a toxic infusion Mutating our genes We're falling apart at the seams Laughing out loud it's this chemical fusion Praying for they Might end this tragic play. Masquerade , this big charade This crazy game that we all play Hide and seek Hey money makers, movers and shakers Don't show me your cash , show me your trash Show me the shit you leave behind With your drive to dominate the masses Masquerade , this big charade This crazy game that we all play Hide and seek Checking out my emails gathering my females Checking out face fuck ,networking ,fuck working What purpose in-bred hierarchical slobs bigots elite Let me kiss your feet I'm raising my glass in a toast To our last drink of fossil fuels I vow to get off of this sauce Give the darkness back its soul

Where the sea meets the sky That's where I want to go Bring me to the horizon And let me flow That's where I reside That's where we'll shine Transcend the limits of time Melting into the ocean The universe is inside us Through every soul it glows In dreams it's easy to find This love some piece of mind High voltage star kill the night To shine the light on those who Hide in their shadows deep Eternal mission sublime A love that lights the whole sky In the gaze of spirits' wings climbing Perched beyond every throne I am for the sun Dance the sky everyone High voltage star kill the night To shine the light on those who Hide in their shadows deep

Worshipped like half living gods in the media circus No longer a factor in the human race Why? Hot Item front runner Spending most nights raving and a plotting into Phalanx of microphones , Connected to the international cable network Mind terrorism a chaotic legacy Zombie Masters Pan Am deep into free basing brain damage magnitude Circumstantial nest of gibberish Perverse humor suburban TV Genuinely May the meat sickness strike everywhere Pig's cunt in a bun Low life shrink diamond vision countdown To the Zombie Masters Cleansing our blood of the media circus And you're wondering why When you're caught in the lie You just gotta try escape the Zombies Worshipped like half living gods Zombie Impunity genuine parrot hard core yuppie Constituent gambling instinct Pressed on like a lemming through unholy nightmare Freeze out cremation Of the penthouse mascots injured and materialized Zombie Masters Cleansing our blood of the media circus And you're wondering why When you're caught in the lie You just gotta try escape the Zombies Worshipped like half living gods Zombie I like to spend my time reading in-between the lines Zombie

I and I am told Burning up your soul There's a hole Where your money and your ego flow When your tummy funny Don't know how to enjoy And your head explodes I and I is sold This story's getting old It's a shame History repeat itself again When the myths they blossom out And shout a loud insane and proud I and I alone Move your body pick up the phone I and I alone lose your mind Hang up the phone I and I alone Move your body pick up the phone I and I alone with you I and I am told Burning up your soul There's a hole Where your money and your ego flow When your tummy funny Don't know how to enjoy And your head explodes Try and try to hold Some sanity unfold It's an old and moldy throne That the kings in line never let go Debunk debunking theorists Not thinking quite the clearest Let go of what you think you know I and I alone Move your body pick up the phone I and I alone lose your mind Hang up the phone I and I alone Move your body pick up the phone I and I alone with you And the tides of time are washing away I and I alone with you

Baby Spiders 06:10
If only I'd walked away I can't feel you I can't see you i'm just trapped inside this game No tomorrows, let the whole world No turning back now fade away If only I'd walked away The idea born in someones mind Is nurtured by a thousand blind Another's code, anothers brain So caught up in the identity game Books are sold and the quotes are bought You learn them well and then you're caught The stage was set the costumes worn Another empire of destruction born

The City 05:25
Words by Haruki Murakami Eyes mark the shape of the city Countless arteries stretch to the ends of it's elusive body Circulating a continuous supply of fresh blood cells Sending out new consumables and collecting the old Sending out new data and collecting the old Sending out new contradictions And collecting the old

Hey ! 04:21
Hey ! It's what you wanted , walk away Everybody knows that you'll run today Hey! Say, what you're gonna say How you stay alive is another play Hey! I got you cornered turn away Everybody lies that's the game to play Hey! Take,what you wanna take How to stay in line with the things you fake Hey! GMO, go away Amazed at the ways to infect the race Hey! Stay cybergain Fuel injected strife angel face Foolish hearts and minds Hypnotized and blind Psychic visions lie Is the future bright Me like la vida loca Me like la beans on toasta Me like to swim you watch your island is just one acre You love the time , watch it just pass the line I love it right on top love as a paradigm Me no cause that vida loca Feast on that merchandise I want that whistleblower Fresh in from Palestine I got my hero right from the almighty I love my beans and the chemical reaction My brain is lit like tantric fire gigantic Bullets that kill prophets vision of future I and I obey the laws of nature Screw dem politicians dem bankers war mongers We've never been so confused as we are today We've never been so abused as with these games they play Hey ! It's what you wanted , walk away Everybody knows that you'll run today Hey! Say, what you're gonna say How you stay alive is another play Hey! I got you cornered turn away Everybody lies that's the game to play Hey! Take,what you wanna take How to stay in line with the things you fake Me like la vida loca Me like la beans on toasta Me like to swim you watch your island is just one acre You love the time , watch it just pass the line I love it right on top love as a paradigm Me no cause that vida loca Feast on that merchandise I want that whistleblower Fresh in from Palestine I get my heros right from the almighty I love my beans and the cronics are watching

Just plain speaking Just play speak jah Just plain freaking Just plain freak jah Just plain tweaking Just plain tweak jah ( Or anything you imagine it says !) System crash down Don't let them fool yah all around All the love can heal yer How many things are said How many people dead How many troubles can rain down How many blind are led How much belly need fed How much corruption can rain down Sordid sequences in brilliant life Supports and props and punctuations To our flowing realities and realisations That set out the rules of this ludicrous game A glorified media marketing ploy For the generation taught that rain is poison Sex is death but what is left 'Cept TV and masturbation

It's never too late to try Never stop asking why It's never too late to fly Hey ho Never let chance pass by It's never too late to try Hey ho hey hey hey Never stop asking why Every time I look inside the I can see the world's in me and Everything I want to be the change that all I want to see is mine Every time I can't believe the crazy shit that they believe The irony, the total cheese, the tangled web that we all weave to survive I drink poison Wars over cola Jokers undercover Global warming tax vex text mex Natural progression Checking out my emails Gathering my females I drink treason Flaws in the system Smokers undercover Fire freakbeats dawning bling bling Nothing's obvious Checking out my emails Gathering my females Destined to follow The prophets of profit Slaves to the paper Slaves to the knowledge of the wedge pledge Clinical Obsession Checking out my emails Gathering my females I drink poison Wars over cola Jokers undercover Global warming tax Vex Text Mex Natural progression Checking out my emails Gathering my females

about

This is the second collection of songs from Tony Byker. Inspired by endless paradox.

Vive Le Rock! 17, March-April 2014
TONY BYKER - APOSTLES OF ABSURDITY (Liquid Guru) Everythang's groovy on this ex-Bykers' sophomore solo outing.
Before they split up in 1990, the Gaye Bykers On Acid produced one of the great unsung guitarists of their-generation in Tony Horsfall, aka Tony Byker, and that's no exaggeration. Then there was nothing in over twenty years, but now he's only gone and released his second solo album within a year. Thundering industrial screamers like 'Hey!' are juxtaposed with more plaintive electro/acoustic guitar hybrids, and techno dub reggae skankers such as `Zombie Masters' and 'I And I Alone'. The Masquerade' is a near 10 minute excursion into the realms of psychedelic baroque waltz that careens scarily off into banging Prodigy-style techno territory. Tony's lyrics and music frequently display a world weariness, with emotions ranging from the melancholy, through consternation and anger, to outright manic — eclectic and electric. Rich Deakin
