Empress Of The Damned
When she falls hard
She falls hard
And her eyes
Fill up with stars, fill up with stars
But it’s a false start
A call card
What’s a race
Without a car, without a fast car
Running your stats while you form an opinion
Power levelling through a rift in the algorithm
All you thought i wanted was some love and affection
But pull the blinds back and i’ll show you the system
I can’t be killed with conventional weaponry
Now you’re trying with emotional surgery
I hear you call with a sense of emergency
Everyone dies but me, I’m sorry
'Cause you know I got all night
Please wake me up
I wanna touch it’s pure corruption
I can’t get enough
I’m gonna give you satisfaction
X, follow X
With a cross to your chest
Like the beat of a heart
When you got nothing left
Do you know who you are
Do you talk to the stars
If the cake is a lie
I’ll be there in the dark
Running your stats while you form an opinion
Power levelling through a rift in the algorithm
All you thought i wanted was some love and affection
But pull the blinds back and I’ll show you the system
I can’t be killed with conventional weaponry
Now you’re trying with emotional surgery
I hear you call with a sense of emergency
Everyone dies but me, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m taking you with me
Are you with me?
'Cause you know i got all night
Please wake me up
I wanna touch it’s pure corruption
I can’t get enough
I’m gonna give you satisfaction
PC PVZ? Ha! PVP me
If you got the PEP now
We can’t be killed with conventional weaponry
Now you’re trying with emotional surgery
I hear you call with a sense of emergency
Everyone dies but me
I’m sorry
We’ll go till the morning light
Please wake me up
I wanna touch it’s pure corruption
I can’t get enough
I’m gonna give you satisfaction

I'm very surprised with this track, do more colabs with her in the future, her timing and pronunciation is addictive. This song vies for the top track of the album. Still, they all seem like bangers. Each day I give the whole album a playthrough I find myself loving each individual track until I'll probably love everything on the album- for me I don't think I've ever said that about any other album. GUNSHIP and the crew really did kill it all with fire with this release.

There's a phrase I often hear; you can't create good music or movies with a community. Sure you get to assemble the best parts, but inevitability in choosing to cater to a wild audience you lose something along the way. It's not true of all artists, and I wouldn't ever besmirch taste as music is subjective, but this album threw a bunch of themes together which in mind keeps it fresh. A peppy pep song amongst the more atmospheric tracks means that while there are songs that aren't as favoured as others (I have to be in the right mood to listen to the last two tracks, mainly because I don't like saying goodbye), I can't say I ever get bored listening through it either. I guess keeping it to the band, Lights and Tim Capello means that it's pretty well intended. It's pop but with a fast zing. I love it. I might check out Savant when I next get opportunity.

Because a bunch of pervert record executives in Hollywood force everyone to listen to their lowest common denominator drivel for a quick buck.
Tim capello's solo gave me goosebumps. After all those years, he's still showing how it's done.
This is crazy how many elements from the past albums are combined here. I have never had favourite band that their songs would grow on me longer I listen to them. This and dark all day its killing. Even my boyfriend is like what is this all about. And I'm like "gunships babbyyy"
Dude, threw a party last night. Put on some Gunship. People danced. Gunship scores a goal.

I play along on my electronic drum kit. This song hits so hard, especially those vocals.
Love the line that's a reference from portal, do I take it that Gunship played Portal.....LOVE IT!!!!!
The best song from the album for me.
Gunship did a Infected Mushroom here?
I love that you used Christopher Lovell's art!
I love both of y'alls music so much, I never thought/hoped I'd get both in one go. 10/10. And as always I love the Tim Capello moments
I knew I recognized the sax work! Tim Cappello is back baybay! Also, really nice. I thought for a minute it wasn't my dig, until it dropped, and then the chorus, and I knew it was. Congrats Gunship and all!
This whole album is just fire. My favorite of 2023 hands down!

The chorus of this song sounds like it's about the min character of my favorite book, "Kitty Cat Kill Sat" by Argus. She's immortal and runs a space station that has more weapons than most countries, and she's super messed up emotionally from being along for so long. Great read if you like scifi! Loving this song now!
How do I get this gif image as a wallpaper?
Need a 10hour version of this.
I swear every gunship is a hecking Bop of epic quality
Gotta have more songs like this
I'm a Destiny 2 gamer. I want this in my play list.
This one is an absolute bop! I've never really thought of gunship as dance music, with a few exceptions. But I cant help myself, when I hear it I wanna rave so hard! Its dancey AF!!!
About time when pretty much all of us are playing Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty ! Perfect.
Pure synth heaven I couldn't be happier GS4LIFE
Gunship floats my boat!
I can't get enough either. Keep it coming baby, let's change the times.
