lyrics

The wild gives way
At the break of a new day
Stars themselves will change
Lighting the new familiar place

Born of deep darkness
and thrown to the blight
Your arrival has brought hope
To defeat the night

From my clutch, I grant that you exist
You are impossible, but here you are
I've suffered at their hands
so awaken, evolve, make a stand

Off all the voices you hear, I
need you to understand mine
Despite the storm, and in the din
There is precious little time

Unjust arrangements
Force beyond containment
Drags the sun awayyyy

Deranged skies lead and deceive
Time forces these grim destructive ways

They are all strangers to me now
All around infesting
All in the name of greed
They take away, destroy, and leave

The only suffering
Caused by demands for life
Abused and denounced
Left a cold and barren site

My mind, receives your signals
Of your present struggles
I cannot rectify,
My origins with my might
I know only pain
Creation wrought in
the depths of ancient power
constant desire

Contagious arrangements
Force beyond containment
Drags the sun awayyyy

Deranged skies lead and deceive
Time forces these grim destructive ways

<Lead: K.Losinske, S. Delorey, K. Losinske, S. Delorey>

Artificial form
and an inorganic soul
Reaching out,
The promise of growth

Do I acknowledge life?
It means nothing to me
As I hunger for the blight
it's presence torments me

Then embrace me, lonely child, and forget
your origins,
but believe that
from strange conditions
Good could finally come

I can temper all your fury
and show you such wonders
There is no greater prizeeeee
Than the balance of life

Part of you feels their need
For a hopeful consequence
To these lost days,
drenched in blood
And to restore the balance

Can you see, a glorious older time
Before the crawling beasts
until the space-born leach
baptized you in grime

The pain you feel is
only your nature becoming clear
Your rejection from the fold
Does not restrict you

So reach out with your mind
And the barrier you will find
Laden with absurd rewards
Igniting the fires

Of greed and dominance
not meant for such beings
The chance to redeem them
Perhaps to begin again

And that is my purpose
in guarding you now
Your are nourished, your strength is
keen, and your name they will call

How could I deny this right
crafted to destroy
And overcome this gnawing sensation
A hunger for war

To consume, and, expand
To conquer, and, demand

The tokens of a past age I could claim
Ship, shield, steeple built in my name
The labored scream calls to me
Arise!
