Three Sisters Lyrics by Joey Sather Listen up, Hit the road at midnight It’s still 100 degrees I point my headlights south and I get ready to fly Hitch-hiking on a Friday night for all to see Three sisters, their thumbs out looking at me I pull it over, they get into the machine Yeah We hit the city big city Don’t get rattled You don’t believe me baby see for yourself And the way you’re moving tells me Everything else We got to Dallas The golden chalice is up for grabs I’m not amazed You’re not amazed That you don’t go down I got a plane to catch but it ain’t leaving the ground Sister Sally’s got a fantasy You gotta give her a try She’s like a movie, X rated movie She’s like a car you can ride She takes it all right to the top I want to honey, but baby I can’t stop I want to tell you how the story ends I live it all and then I make amends Black coat Leather shoes I hit the tables like Baby I can’t lose When I hear that needle Hit the vinyl I just gotta move I got a fist full of dollars not some loose change It’s Friday night We’re going to make it rain, loud The city is kinda pretty but don’t get high You say you’re travelling light This must be some kind of bet She’s not afraid to be a full scale model revenge We got to Dallas The golden chalice is up for grabs I’m not amazed baby You can see for yourself now I got a plane to catch but it ain’t leaving the ground Sister Susie’s got a fantasy It takes place in the car She’s got a talent, it’s kinda violent And she can start her own war She takes it all right to the top I want to honey, but baby I can’t stop

Lyrics by Jason Michas crude that’s how I like it shocked it’s a fitting look and at the moment of your crowning I’ll unwrite your holy book cut it’s a dirty ritual and it’s place there’s something new ‘cause I’m prepared to lose it all if that means you lose it too loud meant to offend you scarred and I don’t care how if you thought you might forget me you’re thinking of me now abrupter I’m a born disrupter I throw myself upon the block and while the many clear a circle I’ll be the one to loose the rock! burn away these halls and tear this temple down even if I find the sacred temple’s me I wanna let the music reign! I wanna hear it scream! burn away the sails and let the ship go down ‘cause I’ve chained myself fast to the ecstasy I’m gonna let the music reign! I’m gonna let it scream! (Music Refrain) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ in a single blow I got the job done I have cut the Gordian knot the chords come ripping out these hands of mine I played it all in just one shot and it’s loud meant to offend you scarred and i don’t care how you thought you might forget me but you won’t forget me now burn away these halls and tear this temple down even if I find the sacred temple’s me I wanna let the music reign! I wanna hear it scream! burn away the sails and let the ship go down cause I’ve chained myself fast to the ecstasy I’m gonna let the music reign! I’m gonna let it scream!

Fast Lane 04:57
Lyrics by Robin Steen Verse 1 In the wind, a winter song calls my name, the vowels long. I know the owl's never wrong. In my mind: a cold clear light. In my heart, I long to fly fast and free beyond the sky. Chorus But now, I can't see the road before me (at all). My fingers numb upon the wheel, Cannot hear the tires squeal in the fast lane. Slow-motion lightning, butterfly kissed the bird emerges from the mist. the owl is silent on the wing, I can hear the angels sing over the fast lane. Passing in and out of consciousness- the blindness merges with the bliss. I hear the owl call my name, a feather falling through the rain to the fast lane. Verse 2 In the night, the hours are long. All alone and far away, I hone the tune that I must play. In the dream, the way is clear: ride the wind into the dark and feed my spirit to the spark.

Time Bomb 03:02
Time Bomb (lyrics by Shaun Trainer and Jeff van Dyck) White thrash, your fear Never lost when you’re always near When the filth, smashes your lobe That's when your mind begins to That's when your soul turns into A ticking time bomb Expose your mind to the shapes and the colours of the grind You must flee this uncertain cheese I feel like you can't it wrong and I can't get it right You feel like I can't get it wrong and you can't get it right We feel Find your mind drop I don't know how to stop eating the vapour of Your brain rot Chew the roux of the road that you find in your mouth!’ Bridge (anti thrash metal vo) (a wise old man once said) Fuck me dead said foreskin Fred, as he pulled it over his head. If I die bury me, hang my balls on the cherry tree. If they grow, let me know. I'll be listening on the radio. But for now, we'll sing instead, the crazy song that rages in our head Feel the age of the angst that was born in your spine. Skins! White thrash, it's here A wave form without any fear Vibrations pummel the globe That's when your mind begins to That's when your soul turns into A ticking time bomb.

Fresh Escaped Lyrics by Jason Michas oh, you’re just a blizzard blowing loose leafs you’re just a hairball scrawled across a page now I… I can see you’re off a loose leash and you’re… fresh escaped and you’re off and running watching the clocks wind down you’re running ‘till then there’s no one to tie you down you’re reeling is it high? is it bittersweet? you’re reeling there’s no one you have to please you’re running oh oh oh oh you’re running oh you’re running you’re running you’re running Oh, you’re just a poppy with a peacock you’re just a tear stain stroke across a face all while… you do your best to feign a cool walk but it’s… out of place now you know they’re coming scruffing it through the dust they’re coming speaking in a furtive hush you’re rushing down through plaza grounds you’re rushing but you’re willing you won’t be found you’ve fallen when did it come so low? you’ve fallen when were you so alone? you’re running oh oh oh oh oh you’re running you’re running but you run too far you’re barely holding shape you’re running but you don’t know where you’re barely holding shape you’re running but you ran too far you run too far well you run too far run to far well you run too far run to far Oh You’re running You’re running You’re running Oh You’re running You’re running You’re running And now you’re sending out an S.O.S!

Lyrics by Angela van Dyck You don't see the sunrise livin' in the dark Playing with those matches lighting up a spark And the things you covet are not the things you reap When you get them easy when you get them cheap I'm at the crossroad wonderin' where it is I should be going You're searching endlessly for happiness and still not knowing What do ya need? A bit of time and a little love What do ya need? To speak my truth and to find my hope What do ya need? Some inner peace to free my soul What do ya need? Don't overthink, just let it go The livin' bit was easy when you were young and free But something's come and taken what your soul believes Control is an illusion it will never last Spinning through our lives now moving way too fast I'm at the crossroad wonderin' where it is I should be going You're searching endlessly for happiness and still not knowing What do ya need? A bit of time and a little love What do ya need? To speak my truth and to find my hope What do ya need? Some inner peace to free my soul What do ya need? Don't overthink, just let it go

about

Theodosius Kaskamanidis (aka Saki Kaskas) was born in Germany in 1971 and was transported to Vancouver, Canada in 1973. He decided to make music his career in 1987, when he started to learn how to play the guitar. He was 15 years old.

In 1989, Saki co-founded his first rock band; Omnibol. They rocked Vancouver for 5 years, give or take, and, from those ashes, the instrumental progressive rock band, the Heavy Lounge, took over and lasted until 1997. It was around this time when Saki joined Electronic Arts to compose music for the Need For Speed and NHL video games. In 2008, Saki left Electronic Arts to join United Front Games as Audio Director and they produced the critically acclaimed Sleeping Dogs game.

Saki left United Front Games in 2015 to focus on music full time.

Sadly, Saki passed away in November 2016. His long time friend and music partner Jeff van Dyck took the helm to finish Saki’s solo album on Saki’s behalf. Jeff invited over 20 old music buddies of Saki’s to play on the album. The result is the posthumous release of the album Saki Kaskas - Theodosius.
