Wandering a waking dream while reaching for the light

As the day falls over into night

Centuries like flowing streams as years go rushing by

Waiting in the dark for afterlife

Open my eyes in a daze

How long has it been?  Am I so out of place?

Warmth I can no longer feel

My mountain is gone, I'm surrounded by steel

The strangest of structures arises ahead, seems to be held up by nothing

Where have I gone, do I dream? How can the stars be all I can see?



Dark embrace

Has someone awakened me?  Please show your face

Cold and quiet space



CHORUS:

Out so far beyond stars and the sun, filling my heart up with wonder, unknown

Now, to the edge of imagination, open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope



Feverishly I explore

Searching for someone, there has to be more

I can't be the only one here

My path always guides me, there's nothing to fear

Then why do I feel so immensely alone, this can't be the end of my story

Onward I go once again, fighting my way to my final breath



Into the abyss



CHORUS



Summon the strength of millenniums past, forged by the fire and flame

I am the weapon of empires vast, Immortal is more than a name



CHORUS

Cry into the chasm ahead, into to the sky never-ending, although

Time will tell if I'm worthy of it, a future of final transcending, alone

As we make our way through starry night

Only memories to hold alight

As the darkness closes in again

Feel the hunger of awakening



Reflect on a thousand lifetimes spent among the slain

And realize I know nothing of life beyond the blade



CHORUS:

Carry me on the winds of a storm

Show me the power of the universe

Give me the strength of wing to soar

Show me the power of the universe



Wandering among the ghosts that I have made

My companions in this escapade 

On the edges of periphery

Hovers promise of a better way

Though I feel that I've been here before

There's no time to wonder anymore

On this vessel as it carries me

Headlong into destiny



No longer will I ignore the man I'm meant be

As I was wandering the world

Trying so hard to find you

To give me purpose in this life I'd lost

And as I learned to forgive you

For all you'd done

Destiny opened a door

And showed you weren't the one

Worth searching for



But as time wore away at my will to carry on

Only vengeance could take what I'd give to see it done



When I finally found the words

The ones I knew would wake you

To take you from her and to make you mine

Somehow all I felt was hollow

Please tell me why

Nothing is ever the way

You think that it should be

It's not the same



As we stand in this place and you wonder who I am

Can't you see in my face I'm his son, his earth and ash

And you are here as servant one last time

Together we will bring her to the light



No more hiding away in your apex again

Not when spending your days as a slave is near an end

I promise this, I vow to set you free

You are the answer, you are my legacy

Return what you have taken from me

Rightfully mine, I will not allow this, thief

Think you know this weapon in your hands?

You are a fool, I am his only command

Attack! My boys are coming for you

Try as you might, you can't escape your doom

I am alpha, rule absolute

Think you can win? I know you only can lose



CHORUS:

Now behold my finest hour, ultimate power

All the universe is mine, wind and water, earth and fire



And so, you see how futile the fight

This is the end, why do you even try?

Kneel before me, swear to obey

And I'll let you live, serve for eternity



Now behold my finest hour, assured victory, ultimate power

All the universe is mine, to control, to define     



No son, you can not run, I'll find you

No matter how far you fly

Hear me, fear me!

I'll follow you for all of time

We race around the melted char of what was once a neutron star

And use the gravity to whip us into dark galactic rifts

Yet still somehow we can't escape, they have no flaw, they feel no pain

These twisted shadows of the men I once condemned



We can

Why do you seek us

See right

You won't defeat us

Through you

Turn around while you can



Your soul

Try to remember

Is ours

Why you defend her

This time

Shatter the master plan



CHORUS:

Soul bound

Endlessly forever

Locked between the darkness and the light

Don't drown

In the swarming, blackened rising

Hold on to humanity and fight



Tormented by the tethering of souls to phantoms that remain

These spectres seem devoid of life but there is something in their eyes

Refuse to see they can't be saved, I push to pull them from the grave

End their addiction to the thrall once and for all



But who am I to be their saviour, slave to time

When I am doomed to be in chains for all my life

Once more we're flying fast as light

Dark matter passing in the night

Pursued by a force we can't outrun

As we hurtle towards a dying sun



We maneuver through the remnants of a moon on the solar winds of supernovas

There is not a place to hide, the Matriarch is close behind, it's plain to see she's coming for us all



CHORUS:

Fly till the stars collide, till we live or die

Faster than ever before

Fly to forget your past, to move on at last

Fly on and forever more

Faster than light



Still farther and beyond we race

Into the outer reach of space

Through systems I will never know

And yet still we have nowhere to go



As the planets shatter right before my eyes there's no turning back, she's already here

Stare into infinity, and know that time is short for me, I can't deny she's coming for us all



CHORUS



Why do I not turn and fight? And see if I somehow might, set myself free

Why do I feel so alive? As if suddenly I somehow find, I'm where I should be?



Finally, I feel I can face up to all that I've done and become something more



Fly till the stars collide, till I live or die

Faster than ever before

Fly to forgive my past, to move on at last

Fly on and forever more

Fly till the stars collide, till I live or die

Faster than ever before

Fly to forgive my past, to move on at last

Fly on and forever more

Faster than light

Somehow how I find myself standing on the edge of

Something that I desperately need       

From this moment I will not be the same

No more crying for the things I can't change

Here I will put this tale to rest

Finish what I started long ago

And though it may not be the ending I wish

Only victory can bring me home



Come, I won't wait for long

I was never your

Slave for all eternity

And now here we stand face to face



Feel the ground, crashing all around

Fight to fan the flame, ignite the battle rage

Tear the sky, watch the boulders fly

As the mountain scape, crumbles in her wake



So, you've come to prove yourself, despite the lies you tell, you know you won't prevail

And I, most powerful of all, have come to see you fall, you'll find no mercy here



Search within, uncover the will to win, turn against the tide that washes o'er

Find the strength to fall and rise again, open up the gates, unleash the force



CHORUS:

I am the wind that shapes the land, old as time and twice as strong

Oceans arise at my command, I alone can carry on



To break her chains



Forward I push on into the storm surrounding me

I await her strike

Could it be she's reached the pinnacle now



Silence as I stand within the eye

In this hurricane of her design

And watch as I drain the light from inside

Now at last I see what must be done and so I fly  



Firm within my grasp I hold the spark and shatter it

See her eyes go dark

Could it be I've finally won the war now



I see the clouds are gone

The storm that raged is quiet once again

I feel the stars above

Shining on the fragments that remain



Search within, uncover the will to win, turn against the tide that washes o'er

Find the strength to fall and rise again, open up the gates, unleash the force 



CHORUS



No, what is this I see

Broken before me

Once again I pay the price

I've nothing without sacrifice

All the time we had is wasted and gone, and all I ask is one moment more

Hold fast onto that flickering flame, or tell me what has all this been for



But I need you to remember, the power was in you all along



You must remain despite all the pain and bring hope to those who have none

Promise me you will be the one



CHORUS:

My guiding light

Fire in the night

I am with you, wherever you are

Your guiding light, shining bright



At last this aching comes to an end, and finally I can set you free

You will be the one to carry the flame, tell me that you'll do this for me



But how can I remember, when the power came from you all along



And I can't deny that your strength is mine and without you all would be lost

I can't bear to ever go on

Facing the glory open before me, millions of lightyears to roam

For once in my life the journey is mine and I don't know which way to go

Breaking the curse has given me purpose, charging into the unknown

Choosing to right the wrongs far behind and forging a path of my own



But with such power, think how you could rule

Hold to your promise to watch over those in despair

Why would you choose to serve when you could be master of all

Be true to your honour and fight for a world that is fair



CHORUS:

Out of shadow, out of darkness, welcome to the light

As the day shines boldly over night

Follow me to finally be who you are inside

Open wide, embrace the afterlife



Don't waste your chance to seek revenge at last

I won't waste my freedom, vengeance will not make me whole

Fight back you fool, make them pay for transgressions past

Fear not your anger, use it to rise up and free your soul
