| Through the black, the hull is stacked
|
| Taking in the haul from Alshain
|
| Growing cracks, but still intact
|
| Encroaching on the Cygnus domain
|
| Beacon light within my sight
|
| The terminal is glowing in space
|
| Symbol for the free, but not for me
|
| I’m preparing to plead my case
|
| Like the moon is silent, consumed by the void
|
| All screams from inside are destroyed
|
| I was served an injustice as head of the Guard
|
| Unbalanced and covetous was my charge
|
| I have returned
|
| With malice that can’t be unlearned
|
| I have arrived
|
| Like the rise of a massive tide
|
| Cygnus Terminal
|
| Iso Subject 5, where were you?
|
| Gone for 13 years and only aged 2
|
| We deal with the terminal, we deal with death
|
| We are the bringers of balance; |
| we are the lungs of the cosmic breath
|
| Iso Subject 5, your tracker was damaged at take-off
|
| How could you survive?
|
| We thought you were gone
|
| Cygnus Terminal
|
| Iso Subject 5, you say that’s not your name?
|
| Isolation must have twisted your brain
|
| We deal with the terminal, we deal with death
|
| We are the bringers of balance, we are the lungs of the cosmic breath
|
| Iso Subject 5, you’ve strayed from your tests
|
| You must have lost your mind
|
| Why don’t we just kill you now and put this all to rest?
|
| I crossed the Great Divide
|
| I now have command over time
|
| It’s futile to object
|
| Now grant my parole from the Isolation Project
|
| All the years trapped in silence
|
| All there was to confide in
|
| Was my waning sense of worth
|
| Now reprieved of the tests
|
| My soul is battered at best
|
| But I’ve lived to see my rebirth
|
| Policies of my decree
|
| Once again, are enforced by me
|
| Epsilon, Pteropticon
|
| Failing now because of my leave
|
| LCD, at full capacity
|
| This is where I’ll restart my work
|
| Take the names of those who caused me shame
|
| Be silent, swift, and deft on your search
|
| Like the moon is silent, consumed by the void
|
| All screams from inside are destroyed
|
| I have returned
|
| With malice that can’t be unlearned
|
| I have arrived
|
| Like the rise of a massive tide |
