Coalition (The Battle of the Ubazal Reaches)

"As the War Of Heaven raged on above our planets, the Hegemony, an alliance formed between the Kral, the Zerleg Nudd, the Heskurar and the Khargon's empires persisted and continued to prosper from not just our losses, but from those suffered by another alliance, the Kolophon Federation. The V'sai, the Nerekki Hivemind and the aquatic Cevanti." "Now, the Hegemony have coalesced their fleets into an almighty engine of destruction, anointing it the Kingsbane. Realizing we cannot hope to vanquish this nightmare alone, We, the Remnant Republic of Humanity have reached out to the Kolophon Federation and proposed a coalition, to silence the Kingsbane and cripple the Hegemony, so that we may have a chance to truly fight back..." [Verse 1] We meet in the ash of a dying orbit Banners burned down to bone and thread Once we hunted each other through the void Now we stare at the same red dread Your eyes A calculus of slaughter My hands A history of siege Yet above us the sky splits open Rust-black hulls like a rotting sea [Chorus] For a heartbeat We are one Two black suns in the maw of war Spite and scripture Side by side Till the Hegemony tide is torn apart Raise your hand I take it On this line We hold the stars Our alliance in the maw Then return to separate scars [Verse 2] Their swarm eats light from the rim of space Cold machines with a parasite will Voices like static in the skull Promising that all flesh will kneel You carve sigils in the armor plates I load faith into the cannon’s throat We trade glances over open comms Every word a sharpened oath "For Terra Secundus... For The Talos Nebula." [Chorus] For a heartbeat We are one Two black suns in the maw of war Spite and scripture Side by side Till the Hegemony tide is torn apart Raise your hand I take it On this line We hold the stars Our alliance in the maw Then return to separate scars [Chorus] For a heartbeat We are one Two black suns in the maw of war Spite and scripture Side by side Till the Hegemony tide is torn apart Raise your hand I take it On this line We hold the stars Our alliance in the maw Then return to separate scars [Outro - Spoken Word] "When the last cold engine dims When the last hull splits and falls We turn our guns We break this chain And let the fragile truce dissolve."
