Behind the War Walls

[Verse 1] From beyond the stars, through a shattered sky They came in waves, with a war-born cry Steel and storm in every hand To burn and break the hero’s land They tore the skies, they scorched the ground We rose to fight, we stood our ground But for every one who stood that day A hundred more were swept away [Chorus] Beneath the war walls, they still breathe In the dark, they plot, they seethe Not gone, not cleansed, just hiding deep The Rikti stir while heroes sleep A world rebuilt on borrowed fire But every gift conceals a wire We won the war, but not the peace The Rikti’s hold will never cease [Verse 2] They call them monsters, call them machines Genetic ghosts in warborn dreams No gods, no faith, no light inside Just silent steps where legends died Their weapons now in black market hands Turning gangs into armored bands A liquor store, a laser blast A future stolen from the past [Chorus] Beneath the war walls, they still breathe In the dark, they plot, they seethe Not gone, not cleansed, just hiding deep The Rikti stir while heroes sleep A world rebuilt on borrowed fire But every gift conceals a wire We won the war, but not the peace The Rikti’s hold will never cease [Interlude] [Bridge] [Spoken word] “The Omega Team, lost to time— Mages who sealed the breach with rhyme. But still the spark remains alive— One portal lit, and they survive. Technology we crave and fear, But every step, they’re drawing near...” [Verse 3] Some seek to heal, some seek the truth Restructionists with ancient roots A Mu-born mage in alien skin Asking what lies deep within Their war was forged in Nemesis' name A puppet’s dance, a shadow’s game But now the Lineage feels the cost Of every soul their dogma lost [Chorus] Beneath the war walls, still they hide The Rikti’s war is time denied Heroes bleed for every street Where alien ghosts refuse defeat We learn, we build, from wreckage rise But danger burns behind their eyes We won the war, but not the peace The Rikti’s hold will never cease [Outro] [Spoken word] And in the dark, beneath our feet... The Rikti dream... and never sleep.
