In this dying night My eyes curse the starlight Embers divine As time culls all life Stars painted gold and blue Her skin mirrors the same hue Demons from the old world Your essence will devour Violent means bring violent ends When your eyes open You will stand upon the blessed dead When your eyes open You shall become the realm breaker As light runs from night Fearful angels take flight Behold the sight As time culls all life Stars painted gold and blue Her skin mirrors the same hue Father from the old world Your bloodline traveled so far To be free If only you could see When your eyes open You will stand upon the blessed dead When your eyes open You shall become the realm breaker Oh, sister star Ice bound forever Entombed with no recourse Mother from the old world Your bloodline traveled so far To be free If only you could see the endless path towards hell As souls search for faith Mere minds suffocate Oh, father from the old world Your legacy dies with us What is a name When every face is the enemy Like fire, the fear of life will burn Until life itself burns away We have become lovers of ourselves Boastful and proud Ungrateful Lest we forget to plant the trees For the shade we may never enjoy When your eyes open You will stand upon the blessed dead When your eyes open You shall become the realm breaker

Seek retribution with the machine Imbued by the first living titan Draped in fire Stay calm, these flames soar higher Either dead or entombed Her bloodline fractured by a barren womb The bloodletting shall resume Stay calm and watch her consume The banner lords of the Hyperion world Kneel before her graceful passing Guided by a banshee's sword Iron scented offerings Drip from the hands Endlessly raised To build a new world Without war We must relinquish our fate to be shielded by the machine Chimera Embrace the aura Lest we forget where we came from Both priests and traitors Of the old world Look on in despair as Elephtherian pedals Tumble down through the air In silence, these holy hypocrites Scowl and detest In time, their fables and flesh Will be laid to rest The banner lords of the Hyperion world Kneel before her graceful passing Guided by a banshee's sword Moments before ascending above She turns to face her endless horde To build a new world Without war We must relinquish our fate to be shielded by the machine Chimera Embrace the aura Lest we forget where we came from To heed the call With a battered heart Honor the faceless conqueror To heed the call With a battered heart Honor the faceless conqueror To build a new world Without war We must relinquish our fate to be shielded by the machine Chimera Embrace the aura Lest we forget where we came from Lest we forget where we came from

Fortified in this shape shifting cauldron Sterilized by the Draconic Vulcan From ashes to life The infernal birth right Through savage pain She will evolve her mind Monsters are being bred From famine stricken flocks Unconsciously evolving for combat The children of Hyperion All vassals under Cepheon Behold the mother of all machine gods Her hands bound by wire Synthetic strands lash at her back As the blood rushes her mask It spills, soaking her neck and chest Still awake, he legs buckle and sway As servos of steel hold her in place This spasm dance A godly display Screams turn to laughs As air leaks away Dictatress, bellow your war song A soaring howl that would horrify the old gods Children on Empyrean Descendants of Acheron Behold the mother of all machine gods Her hands bound by wire Synthetic strands lash at her back Her eyes roll upwards As blood turns them black There is a word from the old world Unknown in this golden age Peace Everything they have ever known is peace The ever present heresy of unrelenting apathy Low passions be praised Andara, forgive me

From the ways we heal the sick We will break within Oh, misery The relentless unforeseen The fabled will to breath without drowning beneath The modern world's feeble and broken wings I hear the rising storm's battle rhythm The fear of endless rainfall To see the flash of life Denounce this horrid timeline Longing for peaceful means With war in our genes Live through violence or violently die Prolonged slaughter Shall not falter From the ways we heal the sick We will break within Oh, misery The relentless unforeseen Like the winter sky Only moments away from sunlight Bitter cold envelopes As my final path unfolds Please give me endless life Like the winter sky Only moments away from sunlight Bitter cold envelopes As my final path unfolds Please give me endless life From the ways we heal the sick We will break within Oh, misery The relentless unforeseen A journey high above the ever darkening skies As warlords, the angel makers for every mother's son As you pass through hell You best not stop Only traitors will be left behind In times, such as these Words will lose all sense of meaning Rulers bask in endless favor Live through violence or violently die Prolonged slaughter Shall not falter From the ways we heal the sick We will break within Oh, misery The relentless unforeseen In this coming war Across all homeworlds It will spread and cleanse I beg you Alithea Please give me endless life In this coming war Across all homeworlds It will spread and cleanse I beg you Alithea Please give me endless life

All beauty and grace will be erased The power to silence Beneath this horizon will give rise to wasteful life The old world Burned and defaced Their gods and their fables Their demons, their angels Shall be laid to rest Reborn from dreams of peace A tranquil world of lush green Where love and honor reside The terrors of night are confined Bring their thawing flesh and force them to stand Upon the holy machine They will soon command These dreams rewired her mind They taught her to hate her own kind A human shell, redesigned A god queen, redefined Still bound by machines She lashes and screams "By the sword or by will. Bring the Titans to me." So hopeful and soft Watch how they fall The power of silence will spread like a virus They must all obey Forever remember these words In peace, you'll be misled Then driven to bloodshed Embrace the endless cycle Reborn from dreams of war A nightmare colored by cascading gore Through apathy We tolerate a dying society Decimation No, just kneel You belong to the home world The holy land I command With each step down Her eyes scan the ground Those that still live They shall submit A human shell, redesigned A god queen, redefined Still bound by machines She lashes and screams "By the sword or by will. Bring the Titans to me." So hopeful and soft Watch how they fall The power of silence will spread like a virus They must all obey Forever remember these words In peace, you'll be misled Then driven to bloodshed Embrace the endless cycle

I feel I may have fallen far from any semblance Of my fellow human Empty veins replaced by wires Flesh forged in fire Andara Our ancient mother Hear me Shield your loving eyes As I civilize I will forge a throne made of blood and bone Honor the horns of war They call, hear them soar The broken hearts of our home world Shall be restored Honor the horns of war They call, hear them soar I fear the storm May dissolve our world forevermore These wounds, these scars forgotten Only the strong will hear my sword song Frozen hearts will be set ablaze Low passions be praised Andara Our ancient mother Hear me Shield your loving eyes As I civilize I will forge a throne made of blood and bone Honor the horns of war They call, hear them soar The broken hearts of our home world Shall be restored Honor the horns of war They call, hear them soar I fear the storm May dissolve our world forevermore They have always lied The beauty of this world is still alive Pleading to survive The breeze and I collide The sky abound in endless starlight Pleading to be alive My mind and heart align Embrace the scars of our ancient bloodline The specter of paradise Carry on my child This endless war shall never subside Leave them behind They have always lied The beauty of this world is still alive Pleading to survive The breeze and I collide The sky abound in endless starlight Pleading to be alive Honor the horns of war They call, hear them soar The broken hearts of our home world Shall be restored Honor the horns of war They call, hear them soar I fear the storm May dissolve our world forevermore

No words spoken Careless and cold Like cryoshock scars that glimmer and glow As servos inspect and prepare to dissect A new form of human A new architect We shall journey onward Through endless pain and torture As they say "Darkness and seamless hate shall guide our pathway." The silence is broken As the last of the blood Surges and spits From Enyo's lungs It drips and streams From the slave driver's tongue Then marked on their faces "Obey and begone." Face to face with Alithea Her sister star Awake and alive The purpose to bring her back to life Forgotten by lifeless eyes We shall journey onward Through endless pain and torture As they say "Darkness and seamless hate shall guide our pathway." The silence is broken As the last of the blood Surges and spits From Enyo's lungs It drips and streams From the slave driver's tongue Then marked on their faces "Obey and begone." Only moments from now We will witness planetfall Titans crashing through the highest clouds They leave trails of fire This new world will bring us life I can hear them sing I can feel them breathing Defending what we call life This final empire will spread like liquid fire Only moments from now We lay claim to sacred ground Action coming face to face with fate With trails of fire Defending what we call life This final empire This new world must bring us life
