lyrics

“We were born in a world of illusions, supported by technical environmental systems, far away from our home, our own planet Earth. We grew up enforced by artificial knowledge that made us powerful and productive but kept us away from our community. We all became unsocial human beings without heritage, without future. No one now remembers our dark past and those who remember are afraid to talk about it. Except him, the one who passed through iron and fire. The man who survived from the society breakdown. The leader of our war against the technological brutality, against the machines. For those days... Lest we forget.”

Times are changing, do you feel the same?
Can you stand up straight and fight off this reign?
They are holding down our fortune, our land
Chased and whacked us all, hear their command

This conflict goes on (Goes on and on)
For born and unborn (Survive through the storm)
A mission for one (Seek for the one)
Now can this be done?

Seasons lost and seasons fade away
Man of scriptures came on the 7th day
Unbowed spirit, leader for all mankind
He's the chosen one, the guide for the blind

Eyes of Hades, frozen tears, grief and sorrow
Blackened day, burning flesh, bleeding sun
Steamy walls, acid rain, no tomorrow
Metal heartbeats, now is this your son?
The future's not set, the war has began

Feckless era, dark insanity
Artificial life, no humanity
Sweep your bloodied brow and follow the trail
It's your legacy, there's no chance to fail

This conflict goes on (Goes on and on)
For born and unborn (Survive through the storm)
A mission for one (Seek for the one)
Now can this be done?

Eyes of Hades, frozen tears, grief and sorrow
Blackened day, burning flesh, bleeding sun
Steamy walls, acid rain, no tomorrow
Metal heartbeats, now is this your son?

Eyes of Hades, frozen tears, grief and sorrow
Blackened day, burning flesh, bleeding sun
Steamy walls, acid rain, no tomorrow
Metal heartbeats, now is this your son?
The future's not set, the war has began
