A past once forgotten Reappears and reinstates The nature of man This orbital firestorm Foreshadows my return I shall regain power over the remnants of earth I have returned All shall obey and kneel before your new god Salvation becoming a specter Blurring the line between Freedom and indoctrination
3. Interregnum
Entranced by the contrast of the sun Against the world that I once loved I shall praise the stars above For these empires Turned to dust
Absence of control is all I see The end of an age of tyranny Chaos is sown in the soil Believe in me and you will see
All of my life I've watched from the outside
We were never free We refuse to see The future form that we could be A specter of earth Now and forever
Absence of control is all I see The end of an age of tyranny Chaos is sown in the soil Believe in me and you will see
All of my life I've watched from the outside All of my life I've watched from the outside Believe in me and you will see
Absence of control is all I see The end of an age of tyranny Chaos is sown in the soil Believe in me and you will see
4. Imperialus
The ashes of unrest do a dance under a cold sky Fireflies, made from our demise
These shadow empires entombed These ashes are all that's left of home Pages of the skinned, carried off in the wind Into a distant sky, to be spoken again
Screams of the flock Cry out for design
This power of one A savior to none
These shadow empires entombed These ashes are all that's left of home Pages of the skinned, carried off in the wind Into a distant sky, to be spoken again
The skies open and paints a portrait with no use of color The ground reflects a world that has been torn asunder
My home has been entombed under ashes My only hope is to envision a new world
5. Anathema
A right to remain Bearing the scars of This world - never deserved The strength to sustain
Systematically scorching This world - never deserved A chance to leave An imprint upon the stars
A life to regain Is a life worth disdain When the only world left Has been consumed in flames
Send your cries to a vacant sky Shrouded in darkness, I stand Pleading for the light to shine again
I speak with my eyes To denounce the origin Of centuries draped in black
Tears are lost into the rain Which washes away The hope to remain
Send your cries to a vacant sky Shrouded in darkness, I stand Pleading for the light to shine again
Send your cries to a vacant sky Shrouded in darkness, I stand Pleading for the light to shine again
6. Catechism
The optical feed manipulated The resolution only simulated A binary masterpiece between two realms
A quantum dance - mentally entranced You pray to yourself bearing the sign of a god Now you know who humans have prayed to all along Bound by your faith Instilled by your hate You deserve nothing more than this moment to pray
Matter becomes transparent Accepting the farce of human sentience Remain in a state of cognitive discord
Modulation through systematic control Grasping for air - increasing this data flow
Pineal glands stabilized Adrenal glands amplified I feel everything
A quantum dance - mentally entranced You pray to yourself bearing the sign of a god Now you know who humans have prayed to all along Bound by your faith Instilled by your hate You deserve nothing more than this moment to pray
Clawing at the ground Feel the texture of a nation Turned to ashes
Breathe the air of this fallen world once again Now your body will rejoin to repay the earth
Nervous system collapsing Optical implants refracting
This fleeting moment is nothing more than...
A quantum dance - mentally entranced You pray to yourself bearing the sign of a god Now you know who humans have prayed to all along Bound by your faith Instilled by your hate You deserve nothing more than this moment to pray

Welcome back Human
8. Eleftheria
My heart is whole again Bathed in the light of this blue gem
Waiting for the moment To breathe the air of this free world
My mind is free from god Seeing a world untouched and unflawed
Waiting for the moment To breathe the air of this free world
My eyes have opened Building this world we will redefine heaven
Waiting for the moment To breathe the air of this free world
Breathe the air of this free world
9. Empyrean
We are the dust of a new generation Here and now, taking heart in this salvation Fearless and free from subjugation
We are all bound to the sky For our birthright, stars had to die We will remain for eons Bound to the sky
Abolish a world bound by deception To affirm the future of Empyrean for Eons Eons The right to remain godless and free for eons
Fusing this flesh With the machines To spread the seed of humanity My eyes will retain these burning stars To seal and repair these ancient scars
We are all bound to the sky For our birthright, stars had to die We will remain for eons Bound to the sky
Fearless and free Fearless and free
I have the right to remain The strength to sustain A life to regain We are fearless and free
We are all bound to the sky For our birthright, stars had to die We will remain for eons Bound to the sky
This final Empire This last Horizon
10. Infineon
A simple glance upward Is all I need To shatter the silence Of an apathetic breed
Exceed the standards of our past The illusion of god has been exiled at last
Fables once used to control Have faded away No need to kneel No need to fear A simple glance upward is all we need
The past was bound by individual pride Only to be crushed by the weight of the sky
Embrace the breed Of those who have been freed From the chains of this godlike disease
Fables once used to control Have faded away No need to kneel No need to fear A simple glance upward is all we need
We fear death for we are flawed Although we die we will rejoin We are forever
No need to kneel No need to fear A simple glance upward is all we need
11. Terminus
Breathe the air of this modern world The scattered seeds have sown a generation Whose evolution is both body and mind
I see a world destined to leave its imprint upon the stars Condemning their past to the blackness of space This future empire will never find the books that enslave
We were born to conquer the stars This freedom will conquer the gods
We assemble among these stars as brothers, not tyrants We are finally free from gods
None shall obey or kneel before any god We can now see This future form as reality
Our voices are carried off in the wind Into a distant sky, to be spoken again
We were born to conquer the stars This freedom will conquer the gods
We were born to conquer the stars This freedom will conquer the gods
We shall not bear the weight of our past Nor inject ourselves with its poison
There is no place for faith There is no reason to hate
Arise from your knees There is no use to pray
Our voices, carried off in the wind Into a distant sky Open your eyes For we have redefined heaven
We were born to conquer the stars This freedom will conquer the gods
We assemble among these stars as brothers, not tyrants We are finally free from gods
None shall obey or kneel before any god We can now see This future form as reality
We were born to conquer the stars This freedom will conquer the gods We assemble among these stars as brothers, not tyrants
This final empire This last horizon A simple glance upward was all we needed
We were born to conquer the stars This freedom will conquer the gods We assemble among these stars as brothers, not tyrants
