Markosia Kids

Intro

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Verse 1

Back room in 2005, one man with a pen

Harry Markos writes as Gallan, then he writes again

Novel to graphic, first blood on the page

Richard Emms on the desk, building up the stage

Speakeasy fell down, the shelves went dark

He picked up the scraps and struck the spark

Said we will not do capes like the big two do

We will print anything that deserves to break on through

Pre-Chorus

You were told pick your lane, horror or sci-fi

He said no thank you, we publish the sky

Chorus

We are Lexian! We are Starship! We are smoke and mirror!

Ink in the veins, getting clearer and nearer!

400 books deep and we are still not done!

Markosia kids with a print on demand gun!

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!

Verse 2

The Comic opens the war, fantasy roars

Shadowmancer preaches, Bitter Souls bleed

Mutation crawling, Scatterbrain screams

From Whitby to Purfleet, the red river streams

Harker's back six months after the Count went cold

Endorsed by Stoker, first of its kind

Last bride wants revenge, wants the unborn host to find

Pre-Chorus

You were told pick your lane, horror or sci-fi

He said no thank you, we publish the sky

Chorus

We are Lexian! We are Starship! We are smoke and mirror!

Ink in the veins, getting clearer and nearer!

400 books deep and we are still not done!

Markosia kids with a print on demand gun!

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!

Breakdown

You started with novels adapted to art

Illustronovellas for the reluctant heart

Digital early, wired through the wire

Now horror like dark mists to sci-fi fire

Final Chorus

We are Lexian! We are Starship! We are smoke and mirror!

Ink in the veins, getting clearer and nearer!

If the shop forgets us in a minute flat

We print another one, how about that!

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!

Outro

Founded on the fringe! Stayed on the fringe!

Twenty years surviving what the giants could not!

Markosia! Markosia!
