Fifth Column

[Verse 1] In shadows cast by history's veil, Where darkness lingered, where evil prevailed, A force emerged, a power untamed, The Fifth Column, with Requiem's name. [Pre-Chorus] From whispers in the night they rise, A specter born of old war cries, Their legacy a tale of woe, A seed of discord, destined to grow. [Chorus] The Fifth Column, a legacy of dread, Born from the ashes where innocence bled, Their deeds etched in tales of sorrow, A specter haunting each new tomorrow. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Paragon City, '41, a day of reckoning begun, As ships lay shattered 'neath the sun, Their legacy forged in steel and fire, A nation's fury, a hero's desire. [Pre-Chorus] Through battles fierce, through trials dire, They fought with valor, they never tire, But justice came, like thunder's roar, And Requiem's reign was soon no more. [Chorus] The Fifth Column, a shadow's embrace, A memory fading, but leaving its trace, Yet whispers linger, in the dark they dwell, A warning bell tolling, a sinister knell. [Chorus] The Fifth Column, a shadow's embrace, A memory fading, but leaving its trace, Yet whispers linger, in the dark they dwell, A warning bell tolling, a sinister knell. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Decades passed, but whispers grew, Of a resurgence, of a plot anew, In the aftermath of Rikti's storm, Requiem's specter once again takes form. [Epic Vocal Break] [Repeat Chorus] [Epic Vocal Break] [Chorus] The Fifth Column, a shadow's embrace, A memory fading, but leaving its trace, Yet whispers linger, in the dark they dwell, A warning bell tolling, a sinister knell. [Refrain] The Fifth Column, rising from the past, A specter haunting, a die long cast, Under whose banner, under whose sway, Will they rise again, in the light of day? [End]
