Palaces of wonder rise from flesh fertilized fields and scrape gently against the sky Down long highways that stretch to the sea searching for what and why And you're a comet----- streaking violently Through the open sewers of my mind In dim lit hallways----- I feel the walls to see My way through----- and to the part of me That feels no pain----- so I can finally be Without sorrow----- and at peace within me And you're a comet----- streaking violently Through the open sewers of my mind And you're a comet----- streaking violently Through the open sewers of my mind

Better Run 03:36
You think you know someone well then they go and show you never can tell Right is left wrong is right Who is there to fight the gathering might Oh ya it’s going to be good Oh ya it’s going to be fun And when that day comes All you Motherfuckers better run x2 Division, destruction, crooks and fools at the wheel Flying past warning signs with charisma and zeal Fears and concerns used as political clout Are there enough among us to march right up and shout Chorus Let go of prejudice provide equal chance Open your heart avoid pride in circumstance Don’t be silenced, hardened or staid Provocative forces are coming to sway Chorus x2

In this crazy mixed up world Where things are not as they seem Depending on who you are You might not even be seen Life is taken full on here we go And has its share of blows It is nice to have someone with you Who can take a shot or two It is nice to have someone with you who can take a shot or two x2 I was lucky to find you Was lucky for you to find me Not what we have to do Is see each other through You know I’ll never walk away If you forgive the things I say We’ll crumple our slights into a ball And throw that shit away We’ll crumple it all into a ball And throw that shit away x2 No one’s perfect, I know not me Things may never be care free But if anyone wants to get to you They’ll have to go through me So ready set here we go I’ll try to shield you from the blows We’ll have more love then we dreamed A heart could ever hold We’ll have more love than we dreamed A heart could ever hold x2

Rebel Girl 02:48
*Words by Joe Hill, Music by Raging Chimera There are women of many descriptions In this queer world as everyone knows Some are living in beautiful mansions And are wearing the finest of clothes There are blue-blooded queens and princesses That wear charms made of diamonds and pearls But the only thoroughbred lady Is the Rebel Girl She’s a Rebel Girl She’s a precious pearl Brings Pride and Joy To the Rebel Boy Though her hands maybe hardened from labour And her dresses may not be fine Her heart in her bosom is beating And she’s true to her class and her kind All the grifters be trembling in terror As her spite and defiance she hurls But the only thoroughbred lady Is the Rebel Girl She’s a Rebel Girl She’s a precious pearl Brings Pride and Joy To the Rebel Boy We’ve had girls before but we need some more In the industrial workers of the world For it is good to fight for freedom With a Rebel Girl She’s a Rebel Girl She’s a precious pearl Brings Pride and Joy To the Rebel Boy

about

What seems like many moons ago we recorded an EP over one weekend at BOXO Studio, in Hamilton Ontario. Engineered by Gary Greenland, produced by Kevin Barber, Gary Greenland and Raging Chimera.

This is an important "moment in time" EP for the band that unfortunately got a little lost in the flow of life. Sickness, death, grief, more sickness, recovery, a pandemic and lazy artists, all got in the way of us having a proper release for this EP. As we are already working on new material with a fuller sound it is time to release this stripped down intro to Raging Chimera.

This was us after months of rehearsing and woodshedding, kicking open the doors of possibility and saying "We are here!" It is stripped down and unpretentious. It was recorded on a glorious spring weekend, in comfortable digs, with inspiring people and it lives as testament to a time and place.

Recorded live off the floor with minimal overdubs: the vocals, a couple extra rhythm guitar tracks and solos, (except Rebel Girl, only vocals were dubbed on that one).

Crank it up and enjoy!

about

Raging Chimera Hamilton, Ontario

A Chimera is a hybrid animal of mystic proportions. Raging Chimera is the mashup of what can accurately be described in today’s environment as neo classic truth rock.

There is something to be said about a trio of crafty gentlemen who play with the passion and conviction of three cons on the lam, tasting freedom as deeply and completely as possible until the end – come hell or high water.
