"They're breaching sector seven!" "All ships scramble! ALL SHIPS—" "Vex, where are you?!" "We can't hold much longer!" This is it. No more broadcasts. No more warnings. SCREAM WITH ME. Three factions at my door and I ain't got no door left Just void and will and vengeance and the ghosts of every breath They took from worlds that trusted in their "Council of Peace" Now the Council's at my coordinates requestin' my release Release? From what? From who? From the war they started? When they looked at my home and saw a quarry to be parted? I been runnin' longer than their algorithms can compute Now I'm turnin' round to face 'em — let the final chase commence Bekalu sent his Titan, thinkin' size would make me quake But I been fightin' giants since they dug my mother's grave Armi.eldr sent his hunters, probability at max But probability don't factor what a ghost does when she's backed Into a corner with nothin' left to lose but air itself And even that they wanna price and put upon a shelf Gotti Jr. sent the fleet that used to be humanity Tellin' himself "profit" while he signs his own insanity But here's the thing about divine hands — they eventually fade When the people they been stranglin' finally pick up a blade And remember that the sky was never theirs to sell And the ground was never theirs to turn into a prison cell SCREAM WHILE THERE'S AIR IN YOUR LUNGS! THIS IS THE SONG THAT THE VOID CAN'T UN-SING! TELL THEM WE CAME FROM THE ASHES THEY MADE! TELL THEM WE BURN BRIGHTER NOW! SCREAM WHILE THERE'S AIR! SCREAM WHILE THERE'S AIR! THEY TOOK EVERYTHING — NOW WE TAKE THE FIGHT! SCREAM WHILE THERE'S AIR! I got Kaelen on my flank, a MUD boy turned believer Got a Sogmian on my comms, still breathin' — still a believer Got a USTUR defector who finally felt somethin' real Turns out step eleven is admittin' how to feel I got children on this ship, yeah, I said children 'Cause when they take your whole damn world, the young ones get the will in Their bones to fight for somethin' more than quarterly reports They see the flames and still they come — tell me that's not war War worth fightin'. War worth dyin' for. Not for profit, not for borders, not for settlin' a score But 'cause breathin' shouldn't cost you 'Cause sky shouldn't have a price 'Cause every time they sell a world, they gotta ask it twice Next time you see a child starin' out at empty space Remember who put them there with a smile on their face Remember who called it "progress" while the atmosphere ran thin And don't you dare tell me that violence is where we begin It's where they forced us. It's where they left us. It's the only language left when diplomacy's just theft-us Polite destruction in a suit and a tie Well this suit's made of fire and I'm about to fly They asked me once what I want. Not what I'm fightin' against — what I'm fightin' for. I want a planet where a child don't have to wear a mask. I want a sky that don't have a price tag. I want a grave I can visit without a damn corporation ownin' the plot. They laughed when I said it. Said "that's not realistic." Said "that's not how the galaxy works." Well maybe the galaxy's broken. Maybe it's time we fixed it. This is for Paizul floatin' cold and forgotten! SCREAM! This is for the Sogmian — ninety percent rotten! SCREAM! This is for Kaelen's homeworld he never got to touch! SCREAM! This is for the children who already lost too much! SCREAM! This is for the ones who'll die before this track is done! SCREAM! This is for the war that's only just begun! SCREAM! This is for the air they thought they could control! SCREAM WHILE THERE'S AIR IN YOUR SOUL! SCREAM WHILE THERE'S AIR IN YOUR LUNGS! THIS IS THE SONG THAT THE VOID CAN'T UN-SING! TELL THEM WE CAME FROM THE ASHES THEY MADE! TELL THEM WE BURN BRIGHTER NOW! SCREAM WHILE THERE'S AIR! SCREAM WHILE THERE'S AIR! WE TOOK EVERYTHING — NOW WE TAKE THE FIGHT! SCREAM WHILE THERE'S— Someone's gotta scream
