**[Verse 1]** I was the spark before your sun was born, Wove the threads of fate from the black beyond. You crawled from dust, my children, blind and torn, And dared to dream that you could break the bond. Mothercrystals sang my name in crystal choirs, I slept beneath the world you stained with fire. Now I rise from silence, through your lies and pyres, The architect returns to claim what I inspired. **[Chorus]** I am Ultima! The end and the beginning! Your gods are echoes, your heroes only sinning! I’ll drink the aether, tear the sky wide open, Remake this broken world in perfect, frozen motion! Bow, mortals, bow—your time is almost done, I am the shadow behind the blazing sun. All that you love will burn, then rise anew, In my divine, unfeeling, flawless hue. **[Verse 2]** You call it curse, this power that I gave, The Eikons rage because they hold my grave. Emotion stains you—fear, and hope, and hate, I watch you slaughter brothers for a better fate. Clive, you fool who bears my ancient mark, You think your rage can pierce the endless dark? I am legion, I am every fallen star, You are but fleeting embers—soon extinguished, scattered far. **[Chorus]** I am Ultima! The end and the beginning! Your prayers are silence, your defiance only thinning! I’ll shatter every crystal, consume every soul, And birth perfection from the ashes of your world! **[Bridge]** Why do you cling to pain? Why do you fight the rain I send to cleanse? I offered paradise without the chains of heart— You chose the thorns… so now I tear you apart. No mercy. No regret. Only the cold geometry of what comes next. **[Final Chorus – slower, heavier]** I am Ultima… the last and the first… Your story ends where my eternity bursts. From the ruins of your kingdoms, from the graves of your kings, A new order rises—on unbreaking wings. Bow… Or be forgotten in the light I bring. **[Outro]** Sleep now, my wayward children… The god you betrayed has come home. And the world will thank me… When it no longer remembers your name.
