We are the shadow, we are the light We are the truth, the sound of promise denied We are the mirror of burning souls The quantum destroyer of the multiverse We are the freedom to run astray The boiling urge to seize and devour the day Diminish the chances, defy the lives Our choice is made, we are the end of times We are the end of times We will become the damage, we will become the fire Fragmented resolutions of penitent desire Devourers of eternities, our struggle infinite Ascending through the ages to ruinous zenith We are the dissolution, we are the final void We are the incarnation of dimensions we destroyed We hold the termination of joy and misery We are the liberation of darkness under key We are becoming much more than this We are the bane of light We are the hatred of status quo We are the vengeance of all the desires ignored We are the chaos, entropic rush Defy the odds, we are the wrath of god

Is this fantasia in shades of red and gold? Bane of my destiny, synaptic overload The search for meaning behind the stars As daylight fades away, I dream of Mars New delight, metal sight, question of escape unending Idle hands, idle mind, consumption of your understanding Master plan, memory's end, solace of your dull existence On demand by our command – to become the chosen one I dream of Mars I dream of Mars Was my entire life a lie? A guise for unwholesome truth? As I look at the steel sky, what do I have to lose? Question everything – my solace and demise My fate is not mine under alien skies I am the pawn I am the end Now I stand before the division The fate of two worlds in my hand Dare I turn back? Dare I stand back? It is all my choice I am the pawn I am the end Storm clouds gather For the first time in a billion years Sun falls down on the alien sand The face of Cydonia Storm clouds gather I make my stand Will it end when I open my eyes? The fate of Cydonia

In silence I bear this sacrament Beneath the veneer of elegance Consecrated with the orchids of dawn The seed of secret penance Our citadel surrendered to ravages of time Our fate, the veins of lightning forgotten Chameleonic portents and fears Lived in the shadow of autumn The questions of faith in our words The questions of faith in our reason The ark of deliverance lost With last parting breath of the season In silence we pass the netherworld Where dwell the nightmares of pure creation Rolling sands cast in forlorn sacrilege Covetous eyes of the sea And the clouds keep falling, amaranthine The storm cries our names like a harbinger of winter Hands drift apart with little to say Here it is, the last rose of August The story is over and there is no other side The malachite dream is buried forever Here I am, and only memory remains Here I am, nothing left to say

Shadow atrocities A nation under the gun Disinformation campaign Shock waves of fake crisis Bleed out the truth, self-immolate for country, money, fame, or faith Forget our past, forget the signs, for this is where we draw the line Blind no more False causes are gone Forget enforced tranquility We are the antagonist To look beyond comforting lies, past our divisions and disguise Black out the sun, tear at the seams, and watch the final truth come clean Black out the sun We will not be deceived Led astray from the light And in the end History will remember the truth

Fire, plasma burns, sacrificial life-giver All the time in a grasp of a hand Nucleonic disharmonic the pattern lives Kaleidoscopic sun, spectrum of a god One billion lives in every breath The solar pulse in our blood We are brothers under the nuclear eye Borders and continents without meaning Children of supernovae To the stardust we shall return Invisible colors, born of aphotic art Distorted time and space Signals from hydrogen creation Kaleidoscopic sun, symbol from above For the souls fragmented For the light that shines In the endless spectrum We are one We are brothers under the nuclear eye Borders and continents without meaning Children of supernovae To the stardust we shall return We are brothers made of stardust The ultimate equation Children of the solar wind Pushing back the curtain of the night

Faithless worlds sung into being Creation mired on cosmic strings A quantum mote inside god's eye Insipid flaw in the design And the question sails on the wind Have we come this way before? One true mythology The seed of creation? And the answers are still elusive Who are we? What are we here for? Does it have to end Before it begins? Elements shaped from particle foam Forgotten science given form Stars our legacy, myth our home The face of light in clouds reborn The sins of Ymir, fate of the Norns In a flash of fire, a galaxy is born Yggdrasil, spine of the multiverse Out of entropy, Asgard's rebirth Infinite ways, immortal worlds Within a grasp of stellar force The eye of Odin, wrath of the storm An endless cycle given form The sins of Ymir, fate of the Norns In a flash of fire, a galaxy is born Yggdrasil, spine of the multiverse Out of entropy, Asgard's rebirth And it is almost within our grasp Made of starlight and belief Unseen galaxies and dimensions Sprouting from the seed of creation

Beyond the gates of thunder Beyond the fire Beyond the molten mess of men's desires Our banner proudly waves In frigid mountain air Unbound, unbroken we shall swear That we shall conquer all the way to paradise Leaving nothing in our wake It's victory or death And we shall slaughter all who pray for our demise From here there's no turning back It's victory or death

There’s a special place in heaven A chapel made of wounds Where fragments of realities Stir uneasy in their tombs There is a scar-shaped hole in my memory All things are washed away On decaying shore, when the light is too slow Dead stars hear your name In the sky full of ghosts I see your face In the sky full of, the sky full of ghosts Some things just cannot be Some truths can’t be denied A string of broken worlds My quantum suicide There is a wound in every tomorrow A physicist and a gun In this endless space we ride the quantum waves In tune with the dying stars We are all too finite in the macroscopic sight A play on probabilities, end of the multiverse In the sky full of ghosts I see your face In the sky full of, the sky full of ghosts In the sky full of ghosts I see your face In the sky full of ghosts we are immortal And as the world burns and reality crumbles in its final dissolution As the destroyer rises and consumes the dying sun As matter and energy surrender to the starless eternity We will be the last things you will see
