lyrics

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
