lyrics

welcome to the game
this is a gurgitator's table
the time is now, let's count it down
i'm ready and i'm able

i spent a year in training
built my own strategic flavor
a victory is imminent,
that's what i want to savor

from the first bite
to the last fight
i will overcome

it's all about the rhythm
it's all about the dance
if you want to be the winner
then you've got to take the chance

minds can triumph over bodies
if your stomach's in your head
you have to "eat it to defeat it"
grind your bones to make my bread

from the first bite
to the last fight
i will overcome

we think
we eat
we are
we know
i am
the best
so start
the show

My friends from Hawthorn and Holly released this genre-spanning Hunger Games album, and even let me contribute backing vocals to a few tracks! It really rocks out hard. Grace Kendall

The Time-Turner EP
by The Mudbloods

supported by 4 fans who also own “Mantra (For the Man About to Eat)”

This is a gorgeously mature EP that pulls at the heartstrings in a way I didn't expect from wrock about Cursed Child. In it, you'll find two tender ballads from fathers to sons, a catchy celebration of a world gone wrong, an upbeat jam about teenage love and two touching love songs from husband to wife. Every single song is deftly crafted and has the exquisite lyrics from the Mudbloods that I just love. yourwizardrockresource

With You, Whatever Happens
by Lauren Fairweather

supported by 4 fans who also own “Mantra (For the Man About to Eat)”

A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more. yourwizardrockresource
