[Verse 1] Once upon a time, not so long ago The Illuminate returned with psychic glow Out from the shadows of a century’s rest Their technology shining, their motives unconfessed—so cold, so bold They set glowing nodes across the land Reminding us all of the power they command [Pre-Chorus 1] They say we’ve got to yield or risk our fate A mind undone can’t retaliate Yet hope persists where the free still roam We stand together so we’re never alone [Chorus] Whoa-oh, illusions fill the air Halo fields everywhere Take my hand, hold on tight if you dare Livin’ under their glare Whoa-oh, Watchers eye from the sky Harvesters crush as they stride Stand your ground, keep your mind or we die Livin’ under their glare [Verse 2] Voteless surge forward, eyes void of light Their free will stolen, yet they still fight Overseers above with shields shining bright They reign from the sky in a fearsome display of might—so grim, so grim Watchers’ purple beams call more to the fray While Harvesters tower, unstoppable day by day [Pre-Chorus 2] We’ve got to stand firm, break through their shroud Exposing factions within, divided and proud Some among them question the path they chose We’ll seize that discord before our world’s deposed [Chorus] Whoa-oh, illusions fill the air Halo fields everywhere Take my hand, hold on tight if you dare Livin’ under their glare Whoa-oh, Watchers eye from the sky Harvesters crush as they stride Stand your ground, keep your mind or we die Livin’ under their glare [Bridge] Halo Fields flicker when unity’s found Teleport gates fail if truth breaks the ground From mind control’s chains, some can still be freed In that spark of rebellion, we find all we need [Chorus] Whoa-oh, illusions fill the air Halo fields everywhere Take my hand, hold on tight if you dare Livin’ under their glare Whoa-oh, Watchers eye from the sky Harvesters crush as they stride Stand your ground, keep your mind or we die Livin’ under their glare
