Alithea, they know you are here. This will not change the past.
You won't be able to run from this. Do you know how many live are at risk if you... See me Hear me 02. For All To See
This age will cease, once titan blood stains this soil
Oh, sister star. Hear my blade begin to sing your song Guided by vengeance. Clouded by fog. Hear the horns soaring. Feel the ground breathing. I'm forged from scars and cold steel in between. Look what you've taken from me. Look what you've taken from me. Honor the sword song. Dancing with blood. Tell me, how does it feel knowing your war came back home? I'm forged from scars and cold steel in between. Look what you've taken from me. Look what you've taken from me. 03. Cenotaph
Fools wonder blindly through raging tides
Their names are etched in broken stone Devoured by their hubris Cold hearts are clawing I stand in ashes of our fallen empire Watch me cast my soul to the fire With close eyes, we let it fall Poisoned soil, is this what they died for? No love. No heart. Bound to save a world, that's fallen apart Honor. For what? Why defend a world that hates who you are? Cold water cleansing conquered soil We bred a world of warriors Then question why the monsters Slowly crawl inward Watch me cast my soul to the fire We deserve such worlds to be lost Cold water cleansing conquered soil Fools wonder blindly through raging tides Their names are etched in broken stone Devoured by their hubris Cold hearts are clawing Beneath this soil the ancient soul is broken Dreams of peace are lost memories Blood will fall. Let it pour All new worlds must slowly be drowned No love. No heart. Bound to save a world, that's fallen apart Honor. For what? Why defend a world that hates who you are? Watch me cast my soul to the fire We deserve such worlds to be lost Cold water cleansing conquered soil We bred a world of warriors Then question why the monsters Slowly crawl inward 04. Starlifter
These clouds, they roll like waterfalls
I can feel them. Their eyes fixed from a far. His banshees, they wish to hunt Their howls ring against the mountain side This great hunt has begun. One by one, I'll face them all Ancient engines, they power our starvation Strike until there's nothing left. Washed away with human blood Can you remember who you were? Long before such starvation. Searching for a better world Hydrus, foretold war, high above the sea Freedom foregone. Mother, Andara, shield your eyes This flesh has failed me. Yet, my blood is bound to the ancient age I am the star lifter Ancient engines, they power our starvation Churn until there's no air left. Burn until there's nothing left I am the star lifter. Invictus Deadalus. The queen of Erebus. I'm here to claim the name Alithea I still remember the art of being human. Ancient engines, they power our starvation Watch this human ritual. I feel the banshees closing in 05. The Grand Hunt
Honor this day, ancient one
Praise this humane ritual This grand hunt has devolved into an orgy of Blood Blades flashing Shields breaking Weak points found Watch as the rain transcends into blood Let it pour Honor this day, ancient one Praise this humane ritual One by one. Piece by piece My own sword song breaks their line And in their final breath, they claw at the dirt One by one Honor this day, ancient heart Praise this humane ritual This grand hunt has devolved into an orgy of Blood Blades cracking. Flesh rending Weak points found Watch as the rain transcends into blood Let it pour Honor this day. Future sons Titan of war. Show yourself The winds have changed The air begins to freeze I feel her voice Hydrus, she crosses Erebus 06. Spasms Of Human Tragedy
In time, we shed our skin to honor every scar
Seeking to preserve this lost art My eyes My heart My mind Are at war Our vengeance bound in stone Scorched into ashes The rain has come This world is falling dark This great storm will end the throne Bound in its silence This monster descends from high above the sea Two worlds about to collide Cold clouds burn As my titan rips through the clouds Deadalus I've never known such deep tremors Who guides your path? Amyntas? Clouds of fire Rolling upward Blinding light Blurs my eyes As they both collide I sense his hatred The air poisoned by the fall Watch as revenge consumes us My eyes My heart My mind Are at war Our vengeance bound in stone Scorched into ashes Daedalus, show them what it means to fear the sky Our vengeance bound in stone Scorched into ashes This monster descends from high above the sea Two worlds about to collide Air pulls upward Feel her voice sending frozen waves against fire in her arms Hydrus As the waves crash Virton leads the raging fire We both stand Behind frozen glass Now we both know Once this storm falls Blood will pour 08. The Haruspex Sunrise
As my blood runs cold
Devoured by time Was any of this worth it in the end? These eyes are blind In the end I face the dying light Open your eyes to what lies behind Liquid fire burns the morning sky Now I see how easy Cities burn lives are wasted Build your walls strong or be taken by the sword Such dishonor A law unto yourself As my blood runs cold Devoured by time Was any of this worth it in the end? These eyes are blind In the end I face the dying light Open your eyes to what lies behind Liquid fire burns the morning sky Sensing the sunlight Cold rain subsides Nature only knows forward Tyrants are always taken by the sword Such dishonor A law unto yourself As my blood runs cold Devoured by time Was any of this worth it in the end? These eyes are blind In the end I face the dying light Open your eyes to what lies behind Liquid fire burns the morning sky As we all wage war against monsters, we forget to take a closer look inside Take a good look around you This world, worth dying for? This life, worth fighting for? Carving a path through darkness Casting every ember to the void This world, worth dying for? This life, worth fighting for? If you turn back you will see no light These eyes are blind In the end I face the dying light Open your eyes to what lies behind Liquid fire burns the morning sky Such dishonor A law unto yourself As my blood runs cold Devoured by time Was any of this worth it in the end? 09. Andara's Will
I have claimed my name
Bloodstained, I fade into this new age Carve a path through darkness Just like roots in search of light Take heart, the tides still rise This new world The green and blue will return From tainted soil Hydrus has blessed this victory To start again Whirlwind, watch her dance and bring life Mother always said life came from the sky I have claimed my name Bloodstained, I fade into this new age Live a life in the shadows, or find what burns behind every light Now watch a titan die Broken bones dissolved This armor hangs from my flesh One by one, I feel every moment slowly pass away Whirlwind, watch her dance and bring life Mother always said life came from the sky A moment of calm Fallen within the eye Walls of water climb so high Honor the sky Bring us life Whirlwind, watch her dance and bring life I have claimed my name Bloodstained, I fade into this new age A moment of calm A shadow against blue skies Only followed by trails of fire Take me away Nefeli |
