[Lore / Background]: "The Avarian species, a sentient race of bipedal aliens have evolved on the planet of Earia-20, a harsh arid planet full of scorching heat, unforgiving deserts, domineering mesas and with scarce supplies of water. Even from the moment they were nothing more than microscopic specks, life was hard and a constant battle for survival. Even as they grew into the wonderous shapes they possess now, this battle for survival is greater than ever. Now split into several tribes, they now fight each other for supremacy of the planet and for the position of potentially representing their kind in the big, open universe that awaits them. On their homeworld, war and combat are an integral part of their lives, the worth of an individual is measured by the enemies they've slain, whether it be their own or the other behemoths they share the deserts with. Whether it be alongside their fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons or daughters... All must be prepared to fight for their own, and for the good of their tribe, and whether alive or slain, their deeds shall be honored with the Sound of Drums." [Verse 1] In the heart of the dunes Where the sun is so bright And the sand will sting your eyes The Children of the Sun will run 'long the wind For they fear that they will die In the heart of the dunes My eyes have seen a prophecy My ears have heard a calling My hands have touched the soil where the ashes fell like snow [Pre-Chorus] Now we're standing here We won't turn away This is what we came for We're not gonna wait We're all that remains [Chorus] So gather all your weapons Meet me in the desert The night is coming But don't you fear We've got one thing they don't And that's the Sound of Drums The Sound of Drums [Tribal Chant] "Luod aeuir simk, roeka aeuir kvaork!" "Fur sumesrs, va kaas uir omcaksurk em sra kdae!" (Load your guns, raise your spears) (For tonight, we meet our ancestors in the sky!) [Verse 2] As we journey across the desert sand Moving towards the enemy Our shields and weapons in our hands Soon they'll know what it means to be free The ground shakes and the skies fill with flames The tribes of the world unite Soon we'll know what it means to be free [Chorus] So gather all your weapons Meet me in the desert The night is coming But don't you fear We've got one thing they don't And that's the Sound of Drums When the sound of drums And the beating of hearts When the sound of drums And the beating of hearts Takes over the land I will make my stand I will fight with my brothers I will make my mark And die with my fathers [Tribal Chant] "Luod aeuir simk, roeka aeuir kvaork!" "Fur sumesrs, va kaas uir omcaksurk em sra kdae!" (Load your guns, raise your spears) (For tonight, we meet our ancestors in the sky!) [Final Chorus] So gather all your weapons Meet me in the desert The night is coming But don't you fear We've got one thing they don't And that's the Sound of Drums When the sound of drums And the beating of hearts Takes over the land I will make my stand I will fight with my brothers I will make my mark And die with my fathers [Tribal Chant] "Luod aeuir simk, roeka aeuir kvaork!" "Fur sumesrs, va kaas uir omcaksurk em sra kdae!" (Load your guns, raise your spears) (For tonight, we meet our ancestors in the sky!)
