Lyrics[]
[Sentient, a great storm is approaching, and you are the catalyst. The one who finds pure sentience.] My origin falls from the tip of her tongue A soft spoken declaration of war My memory now recalls the dream where I forced myself to watch an entire world burn An omen of war A tyrant reborn I am the storm A connected view through the frozen glass A blinding light reveals the face of Alithea Her eyes reflect the planet's surface Circles of light that shatter the darkness An omen of war A tyrant reborn I am the storm The memory of earth Was only a dream The just city has yet to be seen [Utopia is only a dream Make sure you never forget that] Utopia, a monument Constructed by human arrogance My reason to live and survive Is replaced by one abstract lie The memory of earth Was only a dream The just city has yet to be seen My dream ended amidst the dust of the earth Exiled in orbit, my flesh is reborn A chosen catalyst Created for war Set the sky on fire With an orbital firestorm The memory of earth Was only a dream The just city has yet to be seen [I want you to show this world what it means to fear the sky] Set free An ancient heart Set the sky On fire With orbital firestorm An omen of war A tyrant reborn I am the storm
