MERIC BRAVE is the last of a once powerful, secret family, tasked with the safekeeping of the American spirit since the nation's founding. Reaching the age of 18 and reconnecting with his estranged Uncle Sam, he learns of his family's history and how they strayed from their sacred duty. Vowing to set things right, he then rises to the challenge of restoring the USA to its former glory after generations of neglect, having reluctantly stood by in the name of tolerance and peace as the democratic degeneracy and corruption destroyed the republic they'd worked so hard to build. Enough was enough.
His opportunity arrives when his trained Eagle gets lost during a hunting exercise, and in a divine twist of fate soars over a remote mountain facility in Alaska housing a shadow government blacksite. There, a young alien-human hybrid undergoing cruel experimentation telepathically notices the animals trespass, and makes a desperate bid for freedom by psionically hijacking the bird (as he'd observed the other ET.s do with owls in other experiments) abandoning his true body behind forever.
Ultimately returning to the bird's original owner, he soon forms a unique friendship with Meric, and seeks to help him in his noble mission. Leading him to the buried scraps of an old UAP crash, which Meric then crafts into an extraordinary hat and helmet which enables him to manipulate gravity.
Now wielding a power neither of them quite fully understand, Meric sets his sights on stealing an even greater exotic superweapon referred to as the TORCH, securely hidden away in the very same government blacksite that his new friend had narrowly escaped from, and in doing so clashes with a mysterious deepstate faction known as the Smokemarchers.
No matter what happened, he swore. Freedom would reign...

Young, moody teenager me wrote these lyrics word for word a decade ago. Quite the fun creative exercise determining what these songs would have sounded like in real life, if I was actually a musician. They sounded very similar to this finished product when I hummed them to myself back then. Thanks to @sunomusic for building extraordinary technology.
