The Battle Hymn of the Apocalypse (Remastered)

APOCALYPSE OF BAD OPTIONS [INTRO — PIPE ORGAN] VOICE I: Two roads remain. VOICE II: Neither is kind. VOICE I: Then we choose. [VERSE I] Morning waits beyond the night, Father called, the table set, No more crowns above my head, No more debts the gods collect. Yet beyond the window glass, Silent engines guard the street. Are they sleeping? Are they waiting? Do they dream beneath our feet? [PRE-CHORUS] VOICE I: One road home. VOICE II: One road war. BOTH: No third gate. No answer more. [CHORUS] NO ROAD WITHOUT A PRICE, NO SKY WITHOUT A FALL. WE CHOOSE BETWEEN THE FIRE AND THE QUIET AFTER ALL. KEEP THE CORE. KEEP THE NAME. KEEP THE ONES FOR WHOM WE FIGHT. WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE OF BAD OPTIONS TONIGHT. [ORGAN INTERLUDE] [VERSE II] Fresh G guards the central line, Five demands the dawn remain. Twelve has offered steel and fire, None of it can purchase pain. If the silent engines rise, If the heavens answer back, Let them come with iron thunder, We will face the final track. [PRE-CHORUS] VOICE I: Light? VOICE II: A price. VOICE I: Shadow? VOICE II: A price. VOICE I: Twilight? VOICE II: Choose. [CHORUS] NO ROAD WITHOUT A PRICE, NO SKY WITHOUT A FALL. WE CHOOSE BETWEEN THE FIRE AND THE QUIET AFTER ALL. KEEP THE CORE. KEEP THE HOME. LET NO FALSE CROWN CLAIM THE NIGHT. WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE OF BAD OPTIONS TONIGHT. [BRIDGE — PIPE ORGAN + LOW MALE CHOIR] VOICE I: Maybe victory is morning. Maybe triumph is a chair. Maybe after all the thunder, Home is simply still there. VOICE II: And if the engines rise? VOICE I: Then we face them standing. [FINAL CHORUS] NO ROAD WITHOUT A PRICE! NO SKY WITHOUT A FALL! ONE HAND HOLDS THE MORNING, ONE HAND ANSWERS TO THE CALL! KEEP THE CORE! KEEP THE FAMILY! KEEP THE HUMAN IN YOUR SIGHT! WE HAVE WALKED THROUGH EVERY BAD OPTION, AND WE STILL CAME THROUGH THE NIGHT! [ALL INSTRUMENTS CUT] VOICE I, spoken: Now that we agree on the better option... Choose carefully.
