Welcome back, punks and rebels, you're listening to Radio Free Ilium, broadcasting whenever we can on whatever frequencies we can hack. Let's start with a song for the haters out there who, uh, polish Olympian Spears. The government may say he's a crook, but we know who the real crooks are. You all know this one: it's Prometheus by TLS!
Five years into the Ilium war the city built a firewall
That cut us from their urban sprawl and kept the signal out.
The barricades they’d tried and failed, their green recruits our men had nailed
But without the wireless beat of life we were finally cut off.
But then one man broke through
Found a way to aid our righteous coup
Prometheus, the hero who let us hold off the horde,
Prometheus, who proved the keyboard’s mightier than the sword
Prometheus, he gave his life to keep our spirits strong.
When we pass into the Acheron
We’ll be singing out his song.
Our homes were burned and blighted shells their military had overwhelmed,
The movements of their soldiers now were veiled beyond our sight.
Without a word he gave us all the data that could bring their fall,
He didn’t ask for accolades and didn’t name a price.
He gave us hope, on that night
The lonely chance that kept us in the fight
Prometheus, the hero who let us hold off the horde,
Prometheus, who proved the keyboard’s mightier than the sword
Prometheus, he gave his life to keep our spirits strong.
When pass into the Acheron
We’ll be singing out his song.
After what he did, Olympus couldn’t turn a blind eye.
They’d lost so many soldiers he surely had to die,
They snatched him from his lair before he said his last goodbye,
As they cracked down on his followers and set his world alight.
But the legacy he left us means the gods we’ll always defy,
And even as our homeland dies we scream his final battle cry!
Prometheus, the hero who let us hold off the horde,
Prometheus, who proved the keyboard’s mightier than the sword
Prometheus, he gave his life to keep our spirits strong.
When pass into the Acheron… we’ll be singing out his song.
The Mechanisms: a band of immortal space pirates roaming the universe in the starship Aurora. Some say they’re from a
steampunk future, others claim they’re from a cyberpunk past, a few even whisper that they may be from a dieselpunk alternate now. They are all correct....more
The work of our hated creator, Dr Carmilla, will give you a different perspective on the universe we inhabit. A very different perspective. The Mechanisms
...The Toy Soldier is an odd one. Their music is also odd. And cheerful. It drives Nastya mad (despite her playing on one of the tracks). Maybe that's a recommendation, and maybe it isn't. The Mechanisms
Raphaella brings you a concept EP telling the story of our heroine Lolina as she is taken from the brothels of dystopian Mars to the wastelands of post-apocalyptic Earth and beyond. The Mechanisms
This is the most beautiful, moving, exhilarating and obsessive album I’ve heard for years. It made me laugh, cry and want to run to the forest all at once! natalieofnature
A wild collection of songs with so much emotion, I have to skip Welly Boots at times because apparently it's not acceptable to sit there and cry at work. kavouri
