4. Imperium
1. Failsafe
Burning skies - raining fire
Dowm on the helpless below
Hell has come - storming legions
Iron eagles - angels of death
Searing wings - roar as thunder
Burning the life right out of the night
Heavens above - slaughtered outright
Reducinf bodies to ashes and dust
No more tomorrows - sunrise on a dead world
Burning the shadows right into the walls
Paying the price in self sacrifice
Final breath - ends in fire
Fallout snows its seeds of death
Darkened skies - deadly quiet
Nuclear winter settles its frost
Pitiful end - human folly
Centuries of work now scattered to dust
Victor defeated - final chapter
Closing the book and set it alight
Failsafe - cannot be recalled
Flee to nowhere - death consumes all
Return to the earth from which you crawled
Return to darkness - return to dust
2. Solis Lacus
They wander as motes of dust
In a reserve as vast as all space
(The space between the worlds)
Here where the light shines but dimly
Coiled and staring as the adder-
Are courage and defiance...
With eyes of fire and wings of gold
They watch and they wait
Images of the victory
Burn as the central fire,
Like the Lord of Worlds
A great Creator, a great Destroyer
With alpha and omega as standards
(Convulsion, chaos and delusion between them)
To symbolize omnipotence
Beyond all litanies of man
An awakening for the spirit
The era of rebirth
Courage grows like the tail of a comet
As it falls inward - to destiny
Rise red Star, God of war
Midnight crimson eye on the skyline
Riding high in the dawnlit sky
Staring as if at an eclipsed sun
Passing from the realms of light and life...
The realms of sound now stilled
Surging like the tide, empty skies begin to glow
They wander as motes of dust
In a reserve as vast as all space
(The space between the worlds)
Here where the light shines but dimly
Coiled and staring as the adder-
Are courage and defiance
With eyes of fire and wings of gold
They watch and they await...
The era of rebirth
3. Vultures in the Sky (Detente)
Can't you see we don't care about you?
Can't you see we don't want your kind?
We give you weapons to kill each other
Can't you see, or are you blind?
Vultures in the sky, flying overhead
Vultures in the sky looking for the dead
Vultures in your sky
You're doing just what we want you to do
killing off your population
We've got you by your stupid pride
Rewarding it with frustration
Vultures in the sky, flying overhead
Vultures in the sky looking for the dead
Vultures in the sky, flying overhead
Vultures in the sky, they're looking for the dead
4. Imperium
