Lyrics
The Return
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A pulse of energy wipes the galaxy clean of all its life
Vivisection of the cosmos, a dogma of the damned
The rule of ancients ceases to exist
Alone in a vast obscurity of infinite perception
Billions have vanished before my eyes
Psychopathic devastation is the rule of our demise
Sliding forward into the tale
Of which return is not an option, isolation
Incubation of the virulent contagion
Maddened resurrection, hypodermic insurrection
The beginning of an era, the dormant lord of death's erection
The question is remaining, can they overcome restriction?
Through rock, metal and time all they've done is fucking listen
Reseeding has been nothing short of successful
Life is thriving in the milky way, alone I’ve waited for anything
The end of this insanity, alas they have arrived
You've been away for far too long
The origin of my existence finally has come
Alas, they have arrived, it's been far too long
Now they have returned
The gift of life has been instilled
The successors to your past have been exhumed
Held in the arms of exuberance
I fathom the infinite light and follow it into the night
I regret to inform you to maintain a distance
This ring holds entities you cannot imagine
Approach the vector in which you have been given
Rid the infestation of non-reclaimers
Legions of covenant blanket the surface
Searching for the cartographer, and searching for control
Blacklisted facilities have been overrun
I need your help gain them back before it's too late
They've broken through the gates
You will not take this from me
From the abyss of bitter loneliness to the nostalgic rush of memory
If only I possessed the form in which I was born
A living body so I can embrace and rejoice
The gift of life has been instilled
The successors to our past have been exhumed
You are the child of my makers
Inheritor of all they left behind, but this reign is mine
A new chapter has begun
