Lacerta
Singles
Released: April 17, 2026

Lacerta is an industrial metal track inspired by the wild, unsettling mythology of the “Lacerta Files.” The song turns reptilian lore, hidden civilizations, ancient manipulation, alien contact, Antarctica, government secrecy, and human insignificance into a dark, paranoid anthem. Told from the perspective of someone who has heard too much and can’t go back to normal life, Lacerta mixes heavy riffs, eerie effects, and a massive chorus into a song about forbidden knowledge, shattered meaning, and the terrifying possibility that humanity was never in control.

Lacerta! New Song inspired by the "Lacerta Files".
Let’s talk. The Lacerta Files are bananas. I mean, who the hell would believe that, right? I mean, Native Terrans that have lived on Earth for millions of years. Worshipped by the Egyptians and Incas. Called out in the Christian Bible. Crazy talk. I mean, her real name would be pronounced something like “Sssshiaassshakkkasskkhhhshhh.”...

Lyrics

Lacerta, how green are your scales?
You speak with condescension while giving details
Lacerta, why won't they believe?
Why is your truth so hard for us to receive?
Lacerta, what should I do?
When you're gone and I have no proof of you
Lacerta, how do I live?
My meaning is gone, how can I forgive?

We watched the dawn before you could stand,
We saw the Ilojiim craft you by hand.
No missing link, your shape was drawn,
Your eyes see what we let go on.
We walk beside you, but you won't comprehend
You're the seventh, they've written your end.

Lacerta, how green are your scales?
You speak with condescension while giving details
Lacerta, why won't they believe?
Why is your truth so hard for us to receive?
Lacerta, what should I do?
When you're gone and I have no proof of you
Lacerta, how do I live?
My meaning is gone, how can I forgive?

They gave you the circuits, but never the code,
A gift without meaning, a path never showed.
Three stand neutral, and two bring dread,
But you never counted, just slept instead.
Triangles you copied, cigars we fly,
Discs haunt your skies, while you ask why.
Blind to the pattern, oblivious and slow,
Yet even your kind begins to know.

Lacerta, how green are your scales?
You speak with condescension while giving details
Lacerta, why won't they believe?
Why is your truth so hard for us to receive?
Lacerta, what should I do?
When you're gone and I have no proof of you
Lacerta, how do I live?
My meaning is gone, how can I forgive?

Beneath frozen lands, old wars were fought,
Fire from the sky, and the cold ones brought.
Antarctica's silence hides more than ice,
You never look closely, bad advice.
Your leaders bought silence, the truth stays veiled,
But the next war's written, its warning failed.
Your leaders bought silence, the truth stays veiled,
But the next war's written, its warning failed.
If you find yourself deep, where the warmth shouldn't be,
Don't knock on the door of the serpent, you'll see.

Lacerta, how green are your scales?
You speak with condescension while giving details
Lacerta, why won't they believe?
Why is your truth so hard for us to receive?
Lacerta, what should I do?
When you're gone and I have no proof of you
Lacerta, how do I live?
My meaning is gone, how can I forgive?
