Orbit Culture - In Medias Res (2014)

Oh, this weakened flesh crumbling all over.
My every cell screams out in torment.
Let it be heard, my sinister story.
I must go on.

Feel the wind, let it rain,
Healing my wounds.
I will fall, so lend me,
The golden hand...
Alive.

I'll rebuild my strength, I must go on.
I, of flesh and blood, bringer of life.

I'm only fooling myself
With my own lies

Signal it through stars,
Wishing for help,
Relive the glory,
My life feels all hollow...

You need new powers to beat me -
So run and hide
My inner forces shall keep me sober,

Oh, I see an end far in the distance -
A citadel towering the skies
Let it be heard, that our hero was guided
I must go on.

A savior took leave for a conquest with war lust
All while world was facing an impending doom
The heroes hope crumbled
When the world he held dear
Was cast into flames

Oh, you made me
Divine one, you made me

Flows of blood and tears running down my face
This was all in vain, Lifeless earths will float
Into a starless, dead cold night

The sphere of destruction was made to fulfill, to give us a reason to fight
The mighty construction of the finest machine, whom serve but their despiteful self

I recall all your names, you stray wandering souls
Of what could have been, help me
To reign and to serve, to rot in the fields
Give me a sign

Corot

I can feel their heat
I can see defeat

Flows of blood and tears running down my face
This was all in vain, Lifeless earths will float
Into a starless, dead cold night

The sphere of destruction was made to fulfill, to give us a reason to fight
The mighty construction of the finest machine, whom serve but their despiteful self

Vile design, they serve
The seal, ill resign
Defeat, I´ll kneel
Light

We've woken an ancient dweller:
The fleet of machines!
They burn down our cities to embers,
disturbing the earth...
Hear me!

The rain on my skin gives me
strength to continue the struggle.

I stand for our world!
with might I'll crush them all!

No reason to think that I won't be speaking the truth -
a savior shall rise up to break the eternal will of...
the machine!
A sign!

Striding through mountains and cinder -
Ancients unknown.
Reeking of oil with one motive -
To reign us all
Hear me!

The rain on my skin gives me
strength to continue the struggle.

I stand for our world!
With might I'll crush them all!

No reason to think that I won't be speaking the truth -
a savior shall rise up to break the eternal will of...
the machine!
A sign!

No reason to think that I won't be speaking the truth -
a savior shall rise up to break the eternal will of...
the machine!
A sign!

Go with the blessing of your savior...
Go with the blessing of your savior...

By break of day, the fields transformed
A feral roar from the depths of old
Iron canons rose before me,
Heavens burned with their flame

Deliver me from the machine
The sorrows of man
The fall from our grace
Oh, let me lead them through searing and hell
Burning at last

By break of day, the fields transformed
The heaven's red from the blaze of gods
Iron canons stood before me
Heavens burned with their flame

Let it rain,
Rip the earth asunder
Razed to destruction

Deliver me from the machine
The sorrows of man
The fall from our grace
Oh, let me lead them through searing and hellish
Burning at last

By break of day, the fields transformed
A certain doom for organic life
Iron canons stood before me
Corot was ablaze

I'll descend into their sphere to take their light
I resemble rage and ice, torment and their fears
Let them know.

So it begins - the legend of the machines.
Through us they'll power their primes.
The heaven darkens from their blackened sphere.
Flee to the sacred shrines.

Automata has come to Corot.
Feeding of our fears and flesh.
Their light sears all that live
with cables and steel.

We all tremble with fear for our lives.
Try to see through their searing minds.
I remember a simpler life.
We've all come to an end.

The flame shall fade their powers before me -
let it ravage demise in them all.
I'm the lender of awe.
As their symbol breaks into shards.

Made to rip their cables to pieces,
to establish a hope in ourselves
A shimmering light
shall ascend us to the skies.

Set to find a way for the world,
Let the veil fall!
I'll lift us all away from it all,
A vivid journey.

The flame lights the way up before me -
let it ravage demise in them all
I'm the lender of awe.
As their symbol breaks into shards.

Made to rip their cables to pieces,
to establish a hope in ourselves
A shimmering light
shall ascend us to the skies.

Set to find a way for the world,
Let the veil fall!
I'll lift us all away from it all,
A vivid journey.

At the end of it all
it's not been in vain.
I shall go now to war.

At the end of it all
it's not been in vain...

The pain to remember,
to remember the life in myself.
To remember myself,
to redeem my life from flame.

I, savior of man,
soldier of Corot,
bringer of flame.

Feel the sanctity
of the gods
the source

It's vain to remember, to remember the life in myself.
There's more to appear,
to assemble the strength from the cold

I sense my feats and my guilt
to remember the life in myself,
to reveal our sins,
to remember the laugh in me

I, savior of man,
soldier of Corot,
bringer of flame.

I, savior of man,
soldier of Corot,
bringer of flame.

I sense all our faults and our guilt in the seal,
I recall all our mistakes in the seal,
I, deceptor,
I, deceiver,
The source.

It's vain to remember, to remember the life in myself.
There's more to appear,
to assemble the strength from the cold.

I must reach forth,
To break this endless curse
Tonight

What will it take
To keep them at bay

What
Pull up a force
Put up a fight

How
Gut up the sphere, burn it

I recall the reason why
Rage imbued me so

Hunted by metal machines
Seeking me

The stars shall fade
Before this circle breaks

I, the weakling
Will crumble under shame
Tonight

A metal machine
before me, Gold
It powers them all
It powers them all

Gods
It lumbers the fields,
It lumbers the fields

Greed
Observe my final fall to my knees

Ripping the limbs from my flesh
Darkness descends me

Our stay in their world brought us
Close to the edge of the mountain

I control the universe
Tears will flow
Your sovereign will live on
