lyrics
++ The god machine lays beneath the rubble,
Ambushed and toppled in shame,
On the brink of the abyss,
Overtaken by the seething soul
Facing down the wretched enemy colossus,
No more than a festering mass of metal,
Levelling the fury of a sun in its direction
Weapons primed, going in for the kill
Vengeful reprisals,
Brought to bear on this abomination
Vengeful reprisals,
Brought to bear in the names of the fallen
Belching smoke and flame, hemorrhaging ammunition
Dealing damage unconceived, hail of unholy fire
Consumed by wrathful vengeance,
Warnings unheeded, pleas denied,
Restraint discarded, death assured
Consumed by the mindscape, lost to the void
Sanguinity returns for an instant,
The God-machine’s arms pierce through the gargant,
Cacophonous cries of steel-on-steel,
The psalm of Stormherald’s fall from grace
Death of an ancient of war
Death of the people’s hope
Facing down the wretched enemy colossus,
No more strength left to give,
Fury of a sun now quenched,
Weapons down, “you’ve killed us”
Consumed by wrathful vengeance,
Warnings unheeded, pleas denied,
Restraint discarded, death assured
Consumed by the mindscape, lost to the void
Death of an ancient of war
Death of the people’s hope
Death of an ancient of war
The psalm of Stormherald’s fall from grace
The god machine lays beneath the rubble,
Ambushed and toppled in shame,
On the brink of the abyss,
Overtaken by the seething soul
“You’ve killed us” ++
