For how long
[Time] Has this war been waged
Memories of felicity have aged
[Blades] Once beautiful, this land we love
Now defiled and scarred from those above
[Flay] The cowards could not see it through
Their battle won, the war stands true
[Minds] Left to ponder why the few were spared
As a beam of light crashes into the ground
My enemy emerges from the wreckage
Banished outright from his own a traitor
The one that stands before me, Xavian is Asking me
if it is really that much:
Better to live this way than to fight another day
Hear these words I say, the Gods care not from whence you pray
I’ve counted coin and cut the costs, as we spiral towards this complete loss
Together we can alter fate; the paradigm has shifted once again
SOLD!
[Time] he Came to me with head held low
Aware of the debts that his kind owes
[Blades] His hand outstretched eager for mine
When I decline he explains there is no time
[Flay] We must put our differences aside
Look past the hate or surely die
[Minds] The power my people possess
Is divine in nature capable of more than
You can imagine but I can teach you
Let go of the ego I beseech you
Attention peeked Xavian curiously
Has me asking myself if its that much
--chorus--
Ripping and tearing down the walls I built up inside of me
Discard the losses to conjure our peak performances
Victory’s within our grasp if we realize it’s
Unobtainable without the sacrifices OF OUR MORALS!
Take my hand I'll teach you everything
Two become one
