Finest Hour
05:16
|
|||
They told of rulers in this land
The likes of which were living free
The blood of us, the blood of them
And just a stain of memory
We were lords in this land
Turning water into sand
Breathing life ablaze
Burning all we used to praise
Wander far from sight
In seas unfit for life
Breathing life astray
Our finest hour has passed away
We destroyed our home
Torn between greed and strife
This beautiful paradise
Is now a barren stone
They tore wounds none could ever mend
Unveiled the blackness of their hearts
The blood of us, the blood of them
And they tore the dream apart
We were lords in this land
Turning water into sand
Breathing life ablaze
Burning all we used to praise
Wander far from sight
In seas unfit for life
Breathing life astray
Our finest hour has died away
We destroyed our home
Torn between greed and strife
This beautiful paradise
Is now a barren stone
They told of rulers in this land
The likes of which will never be
Yet the scar is in my hand
Of a doom I plainly see
The blood of us the blood of them
And a shattered memory
Yet the earth remembers them
The defiler they once called humanity
Remember (x4)

Space Vikings
04:19
|
|||
Blasters, cannons, jetpacks
We’re rounding off the pack
Armor, chainsaws, we’re back
And braced for the attack
Beyond the flaming sky
Ragnarok is nigh
We are the hounds of war
Unbreakable tide
Brothers, assemble!
The universe is ours for the taking
Warriors, to arms!
Take no prisoners glory awaits the brave!
We ride through outer space
We carry our blades through their hearts
They scream without a sound
The void fills their lungs
As life leaves their eyes
No mercy, No quarter (x4)
Glory awaits the brave!
Solo
In this hour, before death and strife
Fear in our guts keeps us sharp as a knife
They sowed our rage, they reap the storm
Space Vikings!
Space Vikings!
Space Vikings!
Beware the Space Vikings (bis)
Beyond the flaming sky
Ragnarok is nigh
We are the hounds of war
Unbreakable tide
Brothers, assemble
The universe is ours for the taking
Warriors, tonight
We send their souls to Niflheim
To Niflheim!
To Niflheim!
To Niflheim!
To Niflheim!

Monolithe
03:59
|

Quand le soleil illumine la voie
Son réveil est le réveil du roi
Par sa main de flamme
Nous faisons sa loi
Craignez pour vos âmes
Vous tremblerez d’effroi
Car l’oeil de feu vous voit
Par notre chant sa chaleur traverse les tempêtes
Nul néant, nul astre n’assombrira ses conquêtes
Quand notre maître éclairera nos âmes
Toutes nos peurs s’éteindront en ses flammes
Solo
Car l’oeil de feu vous voit
Par notre bras, ses rayons transpercent les impurs
Nulle armée, nul vaisseau ne percera son armure
Solo

Towards the Sun
06:38
|
|||
The walls are closing in
The air is too thick to breathe
Feel your instinct kicking in
Hear your guts telling you to leave
The walls are closing in
You’ve got to get away
From this place of misery
That kept your dreams at bay
Feel your instinct kicking in
Sweat running down your spine
Shivers running on your skin
The fog that clouds your mind (bis)
Is finally lifting
So, you run from your life
Trying to believe their lives
Yes, you run, towards the sun
Yet you can’t outrun yourself
The air’s too thick to breathe
Your flesh is getting weak
Amidst the grinding teeth
You find the strength to speak
“Why won’t you let me be?”
So, you run, from their hate
Trying to emancipate
Yes, you run towards the sun
And the hour is running late
Spend all your life
Inside their maze
Of blinding light
Ten thousand days
Of grief and strife
To let your dreams take flight
Still you run for your life
Trying to escape your fate
Yes, you run towards the sun
Your destiny awaits
Still you run for your life
Trying to escape your fate
Yes, you run towards the sun
Your destiny awaits

Ailes de fer

Pour mourir les pieds sur terre
Le coeur en l’air!
Je foncerai tête première
À travers l’enfer
Pour fuir ma misère
Et noyer dans le desert
Cette routine qui m’exaspère
Bientôt vos murs de pierre
S’effondreront, tomberont en poussière
Et comme un oiseau dans l’air
Libre de mon calvaire
Vers le soleil à des années lumières de cette vie
Je m’envolerai vers l’infini
J’en ai plus rien à faire
De vos guerres et de vos prières
De vos délires solaires
Et de vos plafonds de verre
Tyrannie sans frontière
De souffrance interplanétaire
Le décompte s’accelère,
Je vois la lumière
Vers le soleil à des années lumière de cette vie
Vers l’infini me voilà partie
Mon Coeur bat à l’envers
Je m’écrase sur la stratosphere
Pour fuir les jours d’hier
Et quitter ce cimetière
Pour mourrir les pieds sur terre
La tête en l’air et le regard fier
À travers l’univers
Sur mes ailes de fer
Vers le soleil, brulant comme un éclair je m’enfuis
Pour échapper à leur folie

Pioneer's Hymn
08:10
|
|||
Many years ago, we set a desperate course
Aiming for the stars that shone above our dying home
The best and brightest of all; our people’s only hope
We set out to discover a world to call our own
We’re lost along the milky way
Never to see the earth again
Through the endless skies we sail across the night
Far beyond the wildest dreams of those we left behind
Centuries had passed, our hopes were fading fast
A thousand planets, a thousand suns
We searched and found at last
We’re lost along the milky way
Never to see the earth again
Solo
We’re lost along the milky way
Never to see the earth again
We’d almost given up, we’d settled in despair
Till we finally stumbled on the answer to our quest
Through the great wormhole, beyond the new frontier
In Orion’s Belt we will rebuild a biosphere
We are the Pioneers
We roam amongst these stars
We are the last of us
We bear the hopes and dreams of all our kind
Will we find a home for our kin?
Or be lost forevermore?
We are nearing the last flicker of light
We must plant the seeds of rebirth
So, we’ll live on in a new earth
So, we’ll live on as roots and grass
Through the endless skies
We finally reached our goal
Far beyond the wildest dreams
We build a brave new home
We are the Pioneer’s
We built this world from hope and stardust
We have become as gods
Demiurges of a new kingdom of man
We will live on through our creation
We brought forth the blessings of life

Back to Eunomia
03:41
|
|||
They made fools out of us
They tried to rip us off
They sent us flying through space
But now they’re up for a change of pace
We’re back
From the void of space tonight
We’re back
From the void of space to fight
Let’s see who gets the last laugh!
Back to Eunomia
Let’s teach these aliens who’s the boss
Back to Eunomia
And maybe this time we won’t get lost…
We jumped to Alpha Boötis
Reached Ecumenopolis
Got in trouble with the law
Escaped right through a nebula
They thought us lost forever
Well they better think again
Do you feel the rising fever?
Coz we’re back with a vengeance
We’re back
With a lightning in our gaze
We’re back
With an anger set ablaze
What doesn’t kill us makes us mad!
Back to Eunomia
Let’s teach these aliens who’s the boss
Back to Eunomia
I hope this time we’ve got them guns…
A hail of bullets starts to rain
Their blood is flowing down the drain
Their leader shot, left there to rot
They scream and yell, we slay the lot
Send em all to hell!
Their web of lies brought their demise
Their web of lies brought their demise
This time they will taste our might
We’re back
From the place where there’s no light
I hope this time we win the fight!
Back from space with a burning anger
Do you feel the hate and the rising fever?
Send ‘em all to hell as burning cinder
All of them thought we were lost forever
Never to be said that we forgave ‘em
Now we’re back and ready to show ‘em
Look at ‘em now how the tables of turned
Back from the void we have returned
To Eunomia
We taught these aliens who’s the boss
Back to Eunomia
We turned these sorry bastards into dust
Into dust!

Neon Sun
03:15
|

Well it was a lousy morning alright
For days and days, not a spaceport in sight
Finally, around Wormhole 66 they found this gas bar
And these wings left me here, around this neon star
Sittin’ by the Neon Sun
Hitchin’ a ride with anyone
They never stop to say hello
They leave me in my neon glow
Well, no need to tell you at first it was kind of fun
I mean… with funny food and fuzzy drinks,
The party was on the run
It’s always noon or midnight, as long as you got some rum
But as time passes you realize your life’s just an empty drum
Sittin’ by the Neon Sun
Hitchin’ a ride with anyone
They never stop to say hello
They leave me in my neon glow
Solo
I mean… it ain’t my fault if I didn’t wake up
Life ‘round here gets pretty messed up
C’mon guys… I’m ready for the ride
Sittin’ by the Neon Sun
Hitchin’ a ride with anyone
They never stop to say hello
They leave me in my neon glow
C’mon people… pick me up!
Anytime now…
I’m waiting for ya…
In the Neon Sun!
