Celestial Invocation

by Gonemage

supported by

Amanda Kauffman One of Garry's best Gonemage releases, which is impressive considering his discography. The transition to more poppy material feels like a natural evolution of sounds he was already cultivating in previous releases. Excellent album, hope to hear more like this eventually. Favorite track: Scout Mecha.

BIG DREW this shit makes me feel like a zoomer on ketamine and ecstasy at the same dame time do u want a light show cuz i will give u a fucking light show baby haha

We’ll come for you You won’t see us coming Head is spinning around and around Death was lost but now found I go to sleep I can’t shake this dream so scary Falling forever I go to sleep Can’t shake this dream so scary Can’t afford to make believe Turn on the bright lights on the floor We’re far away from the corridors And the worlds we left behind Come on and feel the change in the air There’s something coming There’s something coming We must prepare I go to sleep I can’t shake this dream so scary Falling forever I go to sleep Can’t shake this dream so scary Can’t afford to make believe Don’t go chasing waterfalls Chase the light I go to sleep I can’t shake this dream so scary Falling forever I go to sleep Can’t shake this dream so scary Can’t afford to make believe I chase the light Goodbye my life I chase the light Goodbye my life I go to sleep I can’t shake this dream so scary Falling forever I go to sleep Can’t shake this dream so scary Falling forever Rest I go to sleep Can’t shake this dream so scary Can’t afford to make believe This fantasy

Check the perimeter For any activity Alert the mothership Then leave them be Look for a sign Any magic unordinary Any magic unordinary Watch it now I can see through you Watch it now I couldn't believe you Tell me how How to make it in the real world real world Tell me now Should I leave if you sell me on the dream world If you sell me on the dream world I could leave it all behind We found something Something you gotta see We found something A mage on a basketball team Watch it now I can see through you Watch it now I couldn't believe you Tell me how How to make it in the real world real world Tell me now Should I leave if you sell me on the dream world Should I leave if you sell me on the dream world Watch it now I could see through all of you Sell me on the dream world Put on the suit Now I beckon Down the ship Wreck the villain Pull all the stops Now I reckon Offload the missile Tow the wreckage Unholy heat on the battlefield A purple sky, another fleet, reload and heal Unholy heat on the battlefield A vicious cycle forming beyond the real Test the might with a game surreal Leave the night to the mage in steel

I could win you everything If you only believe in me I could win you everything If you only believe in me I could be your everything If you only believe in me Why does it feel Like I've got nothin to show? Why does it feel Like I'm so invisible Why does it feel Like I've got nothin to show? Why does it feel Like I'm so invisibleI've gotta follow I've gotta follow through With myself Give myself a chance Can I have this last dance? Give myself a chance Can I have this last dance? Give myself a chance Can I have this last dance? Give myself a chance Can I have this last dance? I could win you everything If you only believe in me I could win you everything If you only believe in me I could be your everything If you only believe in me Now take your best shot baby You could make it maybe Don't give up on me now See me bring us the crown Win it all for us If only you trust

In a time of great need A call went out across the stars For someone brave enough to take on the task Of saving a planet in peril, at last A rogue traveler stepped forward Unafraid of the challenge ahead Knowing the stakes were high After weeks of travel The moment finally arrived Taking aim from deep space They fired everything They've got a night They've got a line of sight With the whole world on the line Clock was winding down They came through in time We were all counting on them They didn't let us down A rogue traveler stepped forward Unafraid of the challenge ahead Knowing the stakes were high After weeks of battle The moment finally arrived Target on sight After weeks of battle This is our last cry Your handheld demise After weeks of battle The moment finally arrived Target on sight After weeks of battle This is our last cry Your handheld demise With the last night on the line We see a legend before our eyes Took them by surprise With the last night on the line We see a legend before our eyes Took them by surprise Took them by surprise This was our last cry This is our last cry

It’s time to put the nightcap on We’ve been out here in space far too long Won the big game won the big game This was fun but there’s no place like home Take the pill get your dream on Time to go get on the ship Dream on dream on It’s time to go home For a second It’s time to go home Forgotten It’s time to go home Let’s get in Time folding in So rock steady Make it to the end Make it to the end Make it make it make it Make it to the Pull the pull the lever now Cryostasis locked in Dreamin purple islands A sunset awaiting But there’s something lurking It’s time to go home For a second It’s time to go home Forgotten It’s time to go home Let’s get in Time folding in So rock steady Make it to the end Make it to the end Make it to the end Make it make it make it Echoes through the stars Silent whispers from beyond A new dimension is born Torn from the fabric of our dreams and songs We’ll awaken We’ll awaken to find everything has changed Everything has changed Where are we Where are we Where are we today Where are we Where are we Where are we today We lost our way home Forsaken We lost our way home Forgotten We lost our way home Awakened Time found a loophole So get ready

about

Celestial Invocation is a swift turn in Gonemage's journey. The playbook takes a cosmic twist, morphing into a lively pop space opera where the fate of planets hinge on an intergalactic basketball tournament, spurred by an alien mech invasion. Is this Space Jam? Not quite. Galimgim takes notice of this development while flipping through the channels in the Astral Corridors and reduces himself from nightmare god to his former human form, in order to participate in the competition. Ball is life.
