[MAN:] Fleeing fast before the sun sets There are rumors whispered here Of lupine stalkers with a taste for man With a little luck I'll make it home by dawn As long as I keep pace This cursed land will be left behind A chilling mist starts to rise with the moon And what dwells in the dark stirs with violent haste I take to foot when the engine fails My condemnation realized I hear the howls that herald my hunt It signals they're closing in [BEAR:] If you've lost your way And the hounds are gaining ground I'll come charging to save you Keep running straight ahead Don't ever look behind I'm right beside you I have claws that rend, teeth that crush It's no coincidence to be stranded in this place A black forest that hungers The assault is nigh, they're circling around Just stay behind me My fury matches their guile For I am Ursa, forged in the sky As chaos erupts in the fray My spilled blood drives me further For I am berserker [MAN:] The pack's corpses amass at his feet They show no signs of relenting My savior endures to the last As I enter the bloodshed He will not die alone [BEAR:] If you've lost your way And the hounds are gaining ground I'll come charging to save you Keep running straight ahead Don't ever look behind I'm right beside you If you've lost your way Don't ever look behind I'm right beside you

We sing elegies for Solaris The eaters of the light have come We sing elegies for Solaris They arrived so swift Sending fire across the sky In machines more ancient than we could have ever known Keepers of old secrets The Marauders acted with haste Pillaging our planet, our Earth, our home Look to the light The energy surrounds us Our sun blackened by marauders Warriors driven by a purpose Defacers Reaping through the cosmos We sing elegies for Solaris The eaters of the light have come We sing elegies for Solaris So many Gods left dead Where history becomes dust So many Gods left dead Our chance to fight back Is to undo our corporeal forms Everything we are Or have ever been Could be lost in the dark Do we take this chance? Just take my hand and hold on tight Here we go Nothing will ever be the same I can see all the particles that once composed your face I believe that the flux we're in exists outside of space The Marauders have the answer, but we can't give up now I want to stay with you forever here But virtue calls us home Virtue calls us home What's become of our hold Our tether to the reality we knew We've shed that past and subverted extinction I'll show the others how How to shed our material form The Marauders are just the catalyst Look to the light The energy surrounds us Our sun blackened by marauders Now something else, we are ghosts We sing elegies for Solaris The eaters of the light have come We sing elegies for Solaris

Supercharger 05:11
The ashes of a gasping, mortal race Is now just dirt kicked up from my screeching tires Be brave, if there's any truth to be known You'll find it there In the nothingness of death Hit the gas and give it all you've got Never slow down, never slow down I'll be waiting for you at the end A trail of slain demons in your wake But I'm nothing now I'm nothing now but dust Teeth gnash and wings beat against a burnt sky Creatures stalk the scent of my mortal flesh This never ending chase takes its toll The spirits claw at my back But these phantasms disintegrate With the ease of my afterburners A strike back at the abyss Is the only thing to keep the engines running Just remember to keep your cool and remember where you came from There's a fine line to walk They'll never catch me With 12 cylinders of supercharged acceleration The only time is here and now So make your way at breakneck speeds Spires of decay Reach toward clouds ablaze with fury But I will tear them down one by one Chained to my machine of retribution Must I become a monster To wage this war alone? Is this sacrifice worthwhile To keep my oath of vengeance alive? Don't waste time In wonder of what could have been When the horde of fiends is bearing down A tide of hellish extinction Don't ever doubt the indomitable will of man They'll never catch me With 12 cylinders of supercharged acceleration The only time is here and now So make your way at breakneck speeds They'll never catch me With 12 cylinders of supercharged acceleration The only time is here and now Never slow down, never slow down

Progress lingers just behind experimentation Chasing advancement Testing the boundaries of the human spirit We must endeavor to stretch beyond our perceived borders seeking other worlds 141 light years away Our analysts have identified an Earth-like planet Commander Stansfield, our most venerated Will embark in suspended animation Yet she stands there, a vision of forgotten dreams A life so far away Half a life-time passing between them As she turns to grey The commander cannot bear the thought Of losing love to the dimension of time Disengage the preservation capsule 40 years of isolation At least they'll spend their twilight together The commander, aging through space, meditating On memories of her face Mission success Safe landing home And there she is, untouched by age straight from her own suspended animation Suspended animation Yet she stands there, a vision of forgotten dreams A life so far away Half a life-time passing between them And now he's turned to grey

Rock Biter 04:49
In the calamity No stone, no soul was left behind Rock became dust, became darkness We exiles herded toward hope As the road fell apart at our heels Racing forward, flying further And still it's just over my shoulder Racing forward, flying further Afraid of Nothing When the end comes I'll hold on with strong hands Until they break If we're the last ones, my friends just hold on I'm mountain against the storm What a way to face despair With nowhere left to run My companions were ripped from my grasp And torn asunder The wait is killing me After journeying so far Our last hope is standing before me Grasping for some sign of his purpose When the end comes I'll hold on with strong hands Until they break If we're the last ones, my friends just hold on I'm mountain against the storm They look like good, strong hands I'll just sit and wait Until there's Nothing left I couldn't hold on So, I too, will drift away

Necrocodone 05:41
Ancient Magus, wielding power of death with the blood of sluts Slips between planes of reality slaughtering Heaven's mutts Worshipping at the darkest altar of The seven-tongued son of a bitch The imprecations and pills Compel us to make poor choices It's when you've lost All sense of dignity He'll wrest control of your precious bits To fuel his slampage Blindly led into fires Of macabre solutions Pandering all that's been stepped on And breaking their constitution When the sun fails to rise The horrors of cocaine-binge necromancy become real Too fast for too long The forsaken toll of bells rung umpteen times Loathe him as he cleaves through a harlot wave Behold, The Despoiler! Absorbed in the their pitiful hate He has come to pulverize and rape Worshipping at the darkest altar of The seven-tongued son of a bitch The imprecations and pills Compel us to make poor choices It's when you've lost All sense of dignity He'll wrest control of your precious bits To fuel his slampage Beckon the Necrocodone Opiates from the grave

Principia 05:57
It seems like an eternity We've been sitting on this priceless contraband The engines are primed--let's go! We've been made The United Fleet is on our tail Drop out of orbit And make for the Perseids We'll lose them in the molecular clouds Masked in a field of debris The Artemis lets go of the fear of Unconquered space Activating the device is the last hope for finding Unification Humanity is asleep at the goddamn wheel It's all we have left Detecting a lock-on threat Deploying counter-measures We have to buy enough time To identify and harness The nature of the Graviton It's now or never Suddenly, I can feel space-time cradled around me Oh, come on, can't you see the way out? Well, what are you waiting for? Even out here I can feel Earth's gravity pulling us home I can see beyond the stars From this vantage point I can see primordial nuclides The cold realization of nothingness cuts through in terror Is this the truest horror Or just another veil to pierce? The answer lies beyond black horizons Terra firma Our heart is the decoder Oh, come on, can't you see the way out? Well, what are you waiting for? Even out here I can feel Earth's gravity pulling us home Masked in a field of debris The Artemis lets go of the fear of Unconquered space Activating the device is the last hope for finding Unification Humanity is asleep at the goddamn wheel It's all we have left We've lost all comms and we're running out of time There's nothing left but to give them hell Head straight at the fore They'll never expect the assault Hope for the best 'cause this is our last chance I can feel Earth's gravity pulling us home

Beneath the surface Is a vastness that lies in wait A relentless Chronos I've come for your head The Thief of Memory Interred beyond my grasp Still, I'm coming for you If you look outside of known selves When there's nothing left to make sense The Great Devourer He reaps across the void It's all coming undone It's a passive war That's waged on all we can remember Even our records will turn to dust But I will take it all back Chronos, I'm coming for you Beneath the surface Is a vastness that lies in wait A relentless Chronos I've come for your head The Thief of Memory Interred beyond my grasp Still, I'm coming for you Even if we tread softly There's just no guarantees we won't wake the slumbering wyrm Despite the odds my pursuit is unending Clawing to find some advantage Some weakness between the scales of protective aegis There's just no convincing me That all it consumes is unraveled and lost These images fade away All my strength is waning As I ascend the final steps Everything I've conquered Has led me here As my strength is waning And the old man stands before me He smiles and it becomes clear This was always my end I cannot remember my end This was always Always my end

Our greed had gone too far So by some act of fate With a banshee's groan The tower collapsed and sweet death spilled forth The slow rush of inevitable disaster A crawling mass Consuming and suffocating Trees uprooted Our strongest towers toppled Overwhelming in a tidal wave of childhood dreams Everything I had to give is now Lost in the flood The enchantment of being entombed By a sweet embrace Is too hard to resist Caught up in rapture None can turn away Then it's upon you Now a writhing mass of syrup and the dying A piece of cake, you'd say Such a thing could be outrun It keeps holding on It keeps holding on It keeps ahold It's everything we are It has my legs But it will never have The love I share with you It's otherworldly Some alien presence Has chosen its time To feast Everything I had to give is now Lost in the flood The enchantment of being entombed By a sweet embrace Is too hard to resist It feeds on all our fears and passions

Forced into betrayal of God and country By a despot clad in vengeance A self-made enemy A noble man Beheaded at dawn By a King's swift justice The widow abandons wealth To take up the axe and anchor "Cutthroats and warriors! Men of the sea! Paint the ships as the dark of night. The Black Fleet sails!" "You've taken my heart; I'll take your Kingdom as pay" Culling the herd of aristocrats The cowards who condemned true love Their corpses float endlessly Their heads mounted to the masts "Leave some alive," she said, "to carry a message home. Tell your masters of this execution At the hands of the Lioness of Brittany!" If you see the red sails on the horizon The Lioness has come for your head 13 years of revenge A campaign promised by death And for all the blood and pride What was gained? This rage will never subside Carried forever by the sea winds The will of a blackened soul Destroyed by devotion Lost in storming seas Drowning grief with so much scorn Which way is up? Which way is home? She's never looking back Forever lost at sea 13 years of revenge A campaign promised by death And for all the blood and pride What was gained? This rage will never subside Carried forever by the sea winds The will of a blackened soul Destroyed by devotion Which way is up? Which way is home?
