Breath of life Rushing in to wake me Warmth outside Slowly spreading through me Banishing Frostbound dreams Frozen eyes Strain against the starlight While outside A new world rises Pale and blue Pale and blue…

Journey's End 06:13

Verse Wake from a dream, a thousand seasons long Behold the light, of unfamiliar stars We have arrived at last These weakened bones, withered from our sleep Can’t help but grasp, in awe and longing This is our home to be A clamor raised, as more awaken These refugees, have braved the unknown void In search of sanctuary From the swarm, that consumed All we had, all we knew Helpless we, fled in hope, of a chance Chorus For a light, at Journey’s end Put our hope in this new land See the light, at Journey’s end Let our second chance begin Verse I’m greeted by, the first to be revived The governor, the role she’s been assigned; To lead the vanguard while I Stand beside, and advise Studying, nature’s guise So we may, coexist, with new life Chorus In the light, at Journey’s end Put our hope in this new land See the light, at Journey’s end Let our second chance begin Bridge There’s something on the sensors! Unmanned but closing fast We’re not the first to be here Someone else took this path No sign of people No one but empty shells No sign of struggle No stories left to tell Who was here Where’ve they gone Is our new home Someone’s tombstone? Outro One page ends Another’s beginning This new world Is another journey To begin

Captive lights Spiraling Dancing through Inkwell skies Falling, Inward Never, Falter Steel and, Glass have Been remade to Dance as stars Chorus Stellar Waltz of steel and fire Eternal dance In dark expanse Evermore this masquerade With the undead orbiting this grave Verse Silent cold Monoliths Obelisk Obstinate No Sign, Of a Mortal, Maker Silent , Shouting Only, We were… We were here Chorus Bridge Sleeping dancer Tell me your dreams Titan architects have passed No more heralding their might and power Leaving just automatons Masterless they carry on eternal Chorus

Verse: Look now! Can you see what I see? Steel Skeletons crowd the horizon below Hark now! Do you hear the absence? The stillness of a world gone silent Now wait just a minute, I need to take this in What could end all this opulence? The footsteps of Titans still cast in the ground With no signs of their master Prechorus: Life Re Mains Chorus Endless Cities Crumble beneath centuries weight Feeding new growth from decay Empire Fallen Can we build our home on a grave? This world Has been reclaimed Verse Look How The Jungle is sprawling Cannot tell where the iron ends and timber begins Hear how The canopy’s rustling Whispered echo of an empire’s secrets Beneath all the vines there is a bed of steel Long forgotten and rusting away And industry’s melody has long since subdued Faded out of all memory Chorus Bridge: Those who came before And all their hopes and dreams Vanished like a fog Carried by the breeze Chorus

Megafauna 05:40

Verse As we break ground On the foundation of our first outpost Shadows loom They’re reminding us we are the strangers here The unknown, all around us Hanging heavy We will find no peace until we know So I set forth On an expedition to the wilds Following the Sounds of thunder and the shaking of the earth Are these chasms, left by footsteps? What behemoths Roam beyond the frontier of our home? Chorus Beasts Towering Living mountains Mortal colossus Verse In the clearing Roams a herd of creatures leaning down to Graze from treetops They seem calm and docile, yet I only feel Paralyzed by, awestruck terror How can monsters This size find a way to come to life? Chorus Beasts Towering Living mountains Mortal colossus Bridge Fauna this size Should be impossible and collapse Under their weight Yet they stand Forces at play Beyond the common flow of nature Something’s amiss With this world Chorus Living mountains Mortal colossus Breathing heirloom Of the forgotten

Verse SURFACE The Seas are torn asunder TEMPEST A howling gale of steam 18 days at sea, following a trail of ruin Steel towers are twisted and toppled down From the depths below an onyx sludge is hemorrhaging Left exposed by this violent uncovering Where’s the culprit now? Suddenly we see the seas below begin to heave And the world around us explodes Chorus Roar, crashing waves Howl, searing hurricane Storm never cease Stormbringer feasts Verse SURFACE The air a burning cyclone TEMPEST The waves blot out the skies Battling to find my footing while I’m holding tight And make sense of the chaos that’s taken hold Suddenly I see the heaving mass in front of me A leviathan so large it blocks out the Whole horizon and From the wall of flesh, a giant eye is opening Staring at me like the gaze of God Chorus Bridge THE MOUTH BEGINS TO OPEN AN ALL DEVOURING MAW THE SEAS RUSH IN A TORRENT CARRYING IN THE SLUDGE ALL HANDS ABANDON THIS LOST VESSEL ALL HANDS ESCAPE THE TITAN’S JAWS THE BEAST, PAYS NO, MIND TO OUR, FRENZIED CRIES WE ARE, AS ANTS, TO MOUNTAINS SCRAPING THE SKY Bursts of steam carry Us to safe seas Chorus Outro DESCEND The seas have calmed their boiling TITAN The winds become a breeze

Verse Perched above the clouds On a mountain crag Wings of black, unfurling Watching patiently As I rise to greet him Both of us, Curious Plain as day to see the being here is ancient There is wisdom there Smoldering in his eyes This is no mean beast And I wonder if We could learn from each other Prechorus Suddenly my mind Hears the whisper of another voice Speaking without words Yet I understand everything Chorus [I have watched] Through the centuries [The World below] As it Fractilizes form [Ever change] Into Cascading, spiraling [Life] Living dying [Un] Reifying [shack] Without limits [led] Ever more it Grows Verse Secrets of the past Flood my memory More than I can comprehend But I see the brink This world was brought unto Facing oblivion There’s malevolence that permeates the ground here But was overcome Leaving scars running deep Now the winds of change Which once saved this world Are now a storm threatening Prechorus But beware your mind For the hatred that was locked away Left poison behind Borne by star gale, it’s festering Chorus Bridge Follow the star Birthed by the ancients Font of the doom Which has befallen all of us Find the resolve To stand alone Nobody else Is left to save you anymore

Verse Brother! Come, rejoice! You’ve returned and We’ve been busy There’s so much to prepare This world has revealed Many truths that We were blind to But my eyes are open wide Prechorus Come Gaze With me Chorus Behold! Our star is rising Our dominion here will now begin Your old weak and defenseless Friend has been reborn In Vigilance Verse Ancient war machines All restored to Serve our empire When we cross the stars and Crush those who destroyed Our home, our kin Come, my brother Add your wisdom to the fight Prechorus What Have You learned? Chorus Bridge My dearest friend What has become of you This plague has all but consumed you BLASPHEMY HERETIC This is no plague This is freedom Gift from heaven Vengeful power and Rage Prechorus Seize this Sophist Tie his limbs down Shackle his hands Bring him to me Soon my brother We’ll make you see All you have learned Will serve our crusade Chorus

PART 1 Cold and adrift Moored to a storm I cannot end Is this the end? Is rage the only path that’s left to us? Who am I to deny it? I’ve never been Someone who knows when he should give in Who am I to defy fate Who am I what can I do? I will wander PART 2 Verse These twisted dimensions Warp existence, yet my Thinking has remained rigid and fixated on, my old premise If there seems no answer Then the question must be false Breathe in, close my eyes and see New perspectives are, all around you Prechorus WHO AM I I who peel back the veil to grasp at wisdom KNOW MYSELF Endlessly a seeker Chorus Farewell to the home I’ll never know My fate is to wander Follow the unknown Whither it goes Embrace who I’ll be, Nomad Verse Had I sought destruction As the answer, to itself? Falling to the same trap as Those I condemned as, beyond saving Prechorus WHO AM I I who know only that I yet know nothing KNOW MYSELF Nomad ever searching Chorus PART 3 Bridge Rivers flow And cannot be halted But with care One can change their course River flow on and Carry us to new Shores [Rhythmic behind above] [Let This River Flow] x4 [Carry us to new] x4 Verse Cast out from these shores And sail the sea of stars once more We’ll carry the winds on our backs A never ceasing roaring tide we hold Severed from the malice That’s poisoning the world below The Source we hold will flow pure and true The raging Earth will calm and be reborn Bridge THE VANGUARD’S SHIP APPROACHES WE’RE OUT OF TIME THIS CLOSE TO THE FONT OF MADNESS THE VIGIL’S GONE BLIND All hands, brace we’re bringing this white hole in tow Capture this warped torrent, we’ll outrun the light Cosmic power Hums to life around us Stars outside Stretch to meet me Goodbye, Earth and Sky
