[VERSE I — blast beat, down-tuned tremolo] Torn from the seam between dimensions The wound in space bleeds black and wide Ten thousand hulls of the Arur Ci'asuhasr Hemorrhage from the other side They fed upon the Obscura Deluge Swallowed the void and came back wrong Allies turned to instruments of ruin The Heskurar have waited all along [PRE-CHORUS] "TERRA SECUNDUS" — burning in their sights "REMNANT REPUBLIC" — mustering its knights "THE ANGELI FERREI" — unfurl their iron wings THE LAST ARMADA ANSWERS! THE LAST ARMADA SINGS! [CHORUS — double bass fury, layered gutturals] IRON ANGELS THROUGH THE STARFIRE MEET THE DEVOURERS HEAD ON EVERY CANNON SCREAMING SKYWARD EVERY SOLDIER CHARGING FORWARD INTO OBLIVION IRON ANGELS, TEETH OF STEEL BLOT THE VOID WITH BURNING CRUISERS HOLD THE LINE OR TERRA SECUNDUS FALLS [VERSE II — syncopated, grinding, relentless] The Admiral on the bridge of the Immovable Orders the first volley into the black Plasma arcs like rivers of death The Arur Ci'asuhasr volleys back A thousand boarding craft like iron locusts Swarm the hulls of the Republic's navy Dreadnoughts split along their spinal columns Men and fire pouring from inside R.R.F Hammer of Judgement takes a killing broadside Flips end over end, a spinning grave [CHORUS — double bass fury, layered gutturals] IRON ANGELS THROUGH THE STARFIRE MEET THE DEVOURERS HEAD ON EVERY CANNON SCREAMING SKYWARD EVERY SOLDIER CHARGING FORWARD INTO OBLIVION IRON ANGELS, TEETH OF STEEL BLOT THE VOID WITH BURNING CRUISERS HOLD THE LINE OR TERRA SECUNDUS FALL [Guitar Solo] [Percussion Break] [BRIDGE — rhythmic chaos, tempo collapse, rebuild] They consume the light of fallen engines They drink the screams born of pressurized air They wear the wreckage of the Angeli Ferrei (Like a crown) — like a crown without a care The void grows thick with iron and with carbon The sensors read a graveyard, reads it wide The Admiral transmits his last coordinates— "FOR TERRA SECUNDUS—" THEN HE DIES! [VERSE III — crushing half-time, like the march of an army] Terra Secundus turns beneath its orbit Unaware the sky is full of death Ten thousand ships align their arc of entry The Heskurar Devourers draw their breath Children watch the northern lights grow brighter Soldiers reach their posts but reach them late The Obscura Deluge spills across the atmosphere The iron angels could not seal their fate (The Beginning of the End!) [FINAL CHORUS — all instruments collide, extended, building to cacophony] TERRA SECUNDUS — BURNING MORNING TERRA SECUNDUS — NO MORE WARNING THE HESKURAR DESCEND LIKE FALLING GODS AND ALL OF HEAVEN BENDS AGAINST THE ODDS IRON ANGELS — NAMES ON NOTHING IRON ANGELS — GRAVES IN NOTHING THEY HELD THE LINE AS LONG AS FLESH COULD HOLD IT BUT THE DEVOURING HAS COME
