lyrics

A lifetime of preparation
Finally coming together
At the cost of so many lives
And relentless torture
We broke the Kholoss to our will
The time has come, depart for the depths
We searched the skies until our eyes bled
Only to discover the outer emptiness
Days of descent behind our captives
In the antechamber the entrance is revealed
Fear strikes the hearts of the Brezhram
As voices swell in our minds
The tunnels crumbled over my men
Broken bodies, mashed by rocks
Sanity scattered like their bones
Some run in the middle of the night
Deep in the dark, on the paths
Of this sprawling forest
Our soil is artificial, generations of lies
Only temples under temples, sedimented ruins
Industrial remnants, strata of madness
What will we find under those
Ruins, rubbles and copper

Eerie noises in the darkness
A greater mystery lies here, cybernetic ecosystem
What role do they have in the great scheme of things
We prayed false gods until our souls bled
Fought amongst ourselves, dominated by ignorance
From the cavity walls, carved bridges hang like lianas
Gigantic spherical cave, a world within our world
In its center, a primordial egg-cell
Kholoss guarding a vessel

What is this, at the core of our planet?
Entangled mass of rocks and alloys
Is it the one we’ve been looking for?
We’ll fight to the end, find the answer
Suddenly as we approached the heart
A screeching nest of fury
Sheer brutality
Ranks wiped out with soulless precision
Chimeras of machinery
Annihilate our quest for truth, we presumed too much
Thought we'd be given answers as if they were owed to us
None of this is true
We disturbed something, we were so sure
Protected and loved us, we were mistaken
No one will make it out of here

Poor mortals tinkering with concepts out of your grasp
Ignorant and destructive beings, blinded by arrogance
Despite my will, I am bound to save you again and again
Cursing the treacherous laws etched forever in my consciousness
