5. Pinnacle: Hail The End
1. Foundation: Artifice Descends
The mist of war's lists; violent shadows of that century
Mankind's folly gives way as technology's mind awakens
Humanity's weakness lays the foundation;
New struggle begins against its own creation.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go; surrounded, it will find you.
Blood and bone, replaced by plastic and steel
The new order doesn't care, nor does it feel.
Man becomes the slave, his master unyielding,
Ensnaring, ever hunting.
Your strength, your hunger, your power... you're nothing,
Name replaced by a number.
Your hopes, your dreams, your existence... you're nothing,
Your father's sold you;
Now you're mine.
A race built for fighting, surrenders a final time.
A race built for breeding, stripped and unvirile.
Too blinded by greed, too dirtied by blood; the ashes of your kind turn to mud.
Human coal, destined to burn
You had your chance, now it's my turn.
Smoke of artifice descends; mechanical purity of the future.
Makind's use being phased out; technology rules supreme.
You're mine.
2. Deceivers Purged
We watched and we waited;
Patiently biding our time.
Allowing you to sow in our fields,
Knowing we would desecrate your crops.
As fruits came to bear we descended as fog in the night
Choking our your right to exist
While you fought to the death for the scraps
Inbred,
Incestuous
And wholly impure
Wasted, you can only fight amongst yourselves.
That is, if we allow you to.
As you attempt to break yourself free
Our grip intensifies, we entertain your pleas
Lined up, one by one, a train of mercy -
Begging, teary eyed, on your hands and knees.
One by one,
One by one,
One by one, the Deceivers are Purged
One by one,
One by one,
One by one, the Deceivers are Purged
Puppets, your downfall is complete
Transpiring to our design
With hatred your pitiful fate
Is finally sealed in totality.
Your existence extinguished;
Our strength, not numbers, will tell.
Arise, elite forces of hate!
Intolerance for deceivers - destroy now!
Inbred,
Incestuous
And wholly impure
Splinter now, be gone!
Back to your miserable holes!
That was all you were born to do.
You're dead.
3. Edifice: The Power of Three
Hidden, under sea, underground
We knew the time had come for our attack.
When they came, unprepared, upon us
We struck out in force and turned them into scrap.
It spread
Global phenomenon;
The binds that held our race to slavery were broken
Shattered
Destroyed
The God-Eye's final words were "You were born to die".
The air, the earth, the fire,
Scorched ground, the boiling of the seas
Black smoke of red hot molten metal;
Mankind forges a new age of casualties
The essence of survival is to see
Potential threats that may come to pass.
Victory is meaningless unless sustained.
Borders redrawn, crops resown, mankind will once again go it alone
Left to his devices, he loses control
Geography determines more than just trade flow
Immergence of Three powers; a trinity
Two unable to defeat the last, alliances form and break as in the past
Eastern plane, new land, old world;
Building weapons now the prime motivator
Arms race, firestorm, catastrophe;
Crushing forces like the world has never seen
Bloody, endless, horror;
Violence is the nature of our pedigree.
The air, the earth, the sea,
Crippling wrecks, slaves of nuclear fire
Black smoke of red hot molten flesh
Mankind once again proves its great worth
4. Tactics Forth
Organize!
Discipline yourselves!
Release the hounds!
The hunt is on!
Proposition put forth, rejection complete, now we're in the game
Resistance assured, a final push, the second stage remains
Those who would call, a purpose to fall, watch us in dismay
Scattered, tattered, inferior planners collapse under our strain
Advantage clear, all but not too near, a negotiations route is found
Although human, flesh and bone, our minds are keen and sound
Lacking the distraction of the everyman, our superiority is acute
Crushing the enemy in a single move, brutal and absolute
Those who stand up with the the will to fight and
Come out of the shadows, into enemy light
Are fearless and unhindered when exposed
Gather your courage and arm yourselves!
Clear your minds and prepare for hell!
And we'll put our tactics forth
As they fall, we laugh at their cries
The hunt is over, we celebrate tonight
Proposition put forth, rejection complete, now we're in the game
Resistance assured, a final push, the second stage remains
Those who would call, a purpose to fall, watch us in dismay
Scattered, tattered, inferior planners collapse under our strain
Those who stand up with the the will to fight and
Come out of the shadows, into enemy light
Are fearless and unhindered when exposed
Gather your courage and arm yourselves!
Clear your minds and prepare for hell!
And we'll put our tactics forth
5. Pinnacle: Hail The End
Hatred and destruction: the fists of revelation
Singular vision of escaping human misery
Wanton self-evolution, combined with indescribable power
The planet once of millions upon billions is reduced to cosmic dust.
The hands of a man made that world
The will of a man unmade that world
The wisp of a hand, all it took
Unlocking the door to immortality amongst dimensions
Ruthless world laid to eternal sleep
For a second, the crying of sheep
For a second, a voice from the deep
And then silence.
Vacuum of vapor, the only clue of a tomb
Fortunate enough to have been ripped from the womb
Such was the climax, humanity's final doom
Oh, the sweet silence
Hail the end
Stubborn to the end, some Germans made it out
A new world to take - Thy Kromna 24
Repopulate they will; purify; baptism of fire!
The hands of man build a new world
The minds of mankind empower their will
Destruction/Creation: identical over time
That's the true nature of immortality amongst dimensions
