Unexpectedly I wrote and recorded this in like three days. It’s been a hard time for a number of reasons and getting inspired to write this has helped. Without my partner I wouldn’t have been brave enough to write my own lyrics, let alone sing and record them.

It’s about the characters from my unofficial project Dyskrasias. The vocal layering was something I wanted to experiment with and thematically fits dyskrasias really well.

I’d say this is about 90% done. I need to do some mixing so I thought I’d post it now.

Lyrics below the cut

Falling stones

In frozen tides

Falling birds

In starless skies

The ocean creaks

Beneath the moon

Prayer entombed

Teeth unhewn

No stillness

No silence

No slumber

No solace

You hurt me

I hurt you

You’ll bleed me

I’ll bleed you

You can’t stand me

I can’t stand you

You can’t help me

I can’t help you

You’ll fight me

I’ll fight you

You’ll stop me

I’ll stop you

You can’t save me

I can’t save you

You can’t be me

I can’t be you

You live in me

I live in you

You’re not like me

I’m not like you

You’ll kill me

And I’ll kill you

You’ll die with me

I’ll die with you

You’ll die with me

I’ll die with you (x4)

Falling stones

In gentle tides

Falling birds

In starlit skies

The ocean bows

Beneath the moon

Prayer exhumed

Me and you

You are me

I’m not you

You aren’t me

But I am you

You won’t save me

But I saved you

You’ll die with me

I’ll die with you

Over

And over

And over

And over

And over

And over

And over

Until we

I don’t remember

I don’t remember

I don’t remember

I don’t remember

Okay actually, Dandy and I were talking and they do have a kind of insane compromise to the Universes Beyond problem. It's far too late and would never be implemented (and doesn't have quite the same punch in the shareholders meeting), but WotC does have tech for this, built into Magic from its inception:

Their proposal is a roster of different card games using the base Magic ruleset, under the Deckmaster banner.

This would accomplish a few things:

1. It would keep the games separate, which at the end of the day is what I think most of us want. Instead of Magic being all things to all players, it can continue to foster the strong community it has grown over the years, while allowing the UB cards to "start from scratch", without literally decades of power and complexity creep to contend with.

2. Onboarding gets easier. Now new players only have to worry about a limited pool of Marvel cards, or Final Fantasy cards. And since all these games use the same base ruleset, they can swap at any time. And when they're ready, they can dive into the deep end with Magic and its 30+ year history worth of cards.

3. It allows you to focus on each game's unique mechanical identity. You get to pull levers and make decisions you'd normally never get to under the Magic ruleset. Mess around a bit. Marvel doesn't have "Sorceries", it has "Actions". Instead of "Creatures" you have "Heroes" and "Villains". Idk, you get the picture.

4. The games can still be compatible. Now instead of mandatory UB cards featuring in your competitive formats, you get to have a fun casual "super format", where everyone plays what they want. You want new players to be commander players? Well, now you have super commander. It's not perfect (and probably mutually exclusive with point 3), but people enjoy mashing things together so long as they're the ones doing it and it's just for fun.

Obviously this is too little too late, and I'm sure there are plenty of issues with this proposal. But I do wonder if something like this was ever discussed internally.

for me, it's always like this
