Hunt 2735 05:48
Rory: Time to witness The birth of the movement Our untold story one step closer to liberation Band together Stand by your comrades Our only weakness Is our division Move with a sound mind Speak with a calm tongue Build with calloused hands Accept with open hearts Learn to make more strides Were still learning Forgive don’t forget And for those who can’t we must never rest The throne We must take Backs will break Under the rising sun We Will rewrite History If we Band together Together as one In January  2735 They committed war crimes on their own people by bringing down demolition from the height of thunderstorms They dropped bombs On our homes And blamed us for This immense waves of death With guns in hand And humility absent They claimed to have a solution to the terror that they caused, they were guilty for But we know the truth, we know what happened that fateful day That UGF bombed their own people to justify the endless torment of the universe’s resources And we know they must be stopped We can fight back, we can and we will What they tear down we will rebuild

Commune 04:44
Aria: I heard 10 billion dollars Is being offered To some deserter To take the tailow And pilot it to The surface of xevium To claim its soil For the UGF Youssef: Our bodies rot While they feast of caviar And look to settle the stars while were left here to die It comes as no surprise How they bleed us dry Claim to offer a better life We must plot their demise No we ain’t fit for release see a blue boy kick him right in the teeth let him bleed red blood flowing through the streets tired of working in line for a thief yeah I Break my back I swear every single brick we’ve laid we bear Matter of fact every brick they claim was ours no it didn’t come from thin air Stripped of our labor and life UGF claims they offer gods rites Venom for venom that soils the reefs Claim lands soiled hands fuel for the fiefs Vast collapse of the earth Cancerous poison they’re set forth Knows no bounds on land or sky Simply claiming planets and lives Aria: Look at the streets near the commune The populace in disarray No sustainable vegetation Or flora in sight Where has the earth gone taken by the seas conquest Life expensed by the products For our consumption Youssef: Our bodies rot While they feast of caviar And look to settle the stars while were left here to die It comes as no surprise How they bleed us dry Claim to offer a better life We must plot their demise Aria: Just food packaged nice and neatly Flavors aggressive and sparse The ingredients as processed as their wrappers Make for apathetic servants Health sold for a premium Life sold at what cost Buy into to your decades Were all just made and forgotten Who built the castles who built the battlements who made thrones for the Kings to sit Who built the castles who built the battlements who made mortar from the mix Who built the castles who built the battlements who fashioned in with dirt and spit We built the castles we built the battlements and no I don’t see them laying bricks notes: Lyrics influenced by La Dispute's The Last Lost Continent

Rory: I’ll still wait For the world to break and all the bones to dissipate Let’s create A world for all of us So the stars can be seen by the state When I was young I watched the world die it fell from the sky and I learned what death was Take the fate of the ships trajectory and crash it into the sea So we can save all the planets in the sky from eternal collapse of life When I was young I watched the world die it fell from the sky and I learned what death was Take it back To the start Sharpen the blade For xevium Gold will flow From their heads Distribute their land Eat their bread

Rory: Rise rise rise We will rise They took us for sheep So we view them as pigs They thought of us as fodder We’ll lead them to the slaughter If we have time to sleep Then we have time to die The future is ours to keep Only we not I We aren’t just playing for keeps We’re playing for life Lest the same repeats We must all oblige They carry death in hand They place bugs in our homes They claim to be ‘elite’ So we must crush their bones Come with me just take my hand We'll travel and cover the stars So all the universes creatures Can gaze at their glory This was meant to be shared Never to be hoarded We Must do this all for us Embrace the stars for us Rise rise rise We will rise

Pillow Talk 02:28
Rory: When I look at you I see the stars I see the world joy overwhelms my heart And If you die I fear I will die too There is no one There is no one There no one comparable to you Yula: But Rory I must go I must sacrifice myself for Xevium Because without purpose there is no faith without faith there is no life Without life there is no love And if there’s no love what’s the fucking point in all off this All of this forsaken pain Won’t you please exalt my name but never angry or in vain But for the life I gave up for the cause Believe still I am not lost For you and all the planets I Release my heart for them

Cureless 04:11
Yula: I am sure of the asphalt I am sure of the jungle I am sure of the metal what’s Unsure makes me sick God doesn’t live here Bet they never did Stop pushing yours Nothing but a cyst How could my parents create me When they don’t what happens afterlife Is it blank? Or is it sleep? I pray my lungs my soul to keep And What is will fade with time How could you torture another When they did not need to exist There are enough there are plenty And just because they don’t have your genes Doesn’t mean they aren’t worthy of your love Hold me softly Kiss me on the cheek Help me enjoy The time I have Hold me softly Whisper in my ear Help me Sit down and relax Why me Why do I Have to be cursed to exist When everyone I love will die And so will I Start start Straight from the top Regret the regrets the pain won’t stop Strife strife I can’t let go Of who I was Or Why I’m here If the Bombs don’t get me Im sure the cancer will That’s why I must Sacrifice myself Start start Straight from the top Regret the regrets the pain won’t stop Strife strife I can’t let go Of who I was Or Why I’m here If the Bombs don’t get me Im sure the cancer will That’s why I must Sacrifice myself

Collision 07:10
Yula: My hands tremble in the engine room As I convince myself that what I have agreed to Is valuable And my worth will never be questioned And when I die my name will be carved in the monoliths of time And legends will be told Of heroism and valor My worth weighs more than that of gold and still I try to convince myself that there is nothing more than nothingness And I am nothing less than perfect And perfect I will always be I die alone in the engine room Heart beating straight out of my chest cheeks pressed upon the thin veneer Realizing there is nothing left For me to do but cut the wires Straight out of my spine And out of the control module Of which my fate is forever linkee Gone my lungs Will fade into the stars My heart Will cease to pump blood My cells will never build again And I will never hear the sound Of my loves Laugh or cry salty tears My eyes will never water Or see the sky And all its colors my life will end So theirs can continue on I will die My bones will collapse My heart will explode My skin will peel And I won’t breathe And I won’t see And I won’t have A single feeling ever again

about

This album is set in the distant future:

In the year 2755 overproduction has laid waste to earth. Climate change has destroyed continents and ravaged cities. The populace lives in fear of death and destruction at every turn. A multiplanetary governmental agency known as the United Galactic Federation (UGF) is constantly perusing new markets for resources instead of addressing climate issues on earth. This has resulted in a long history of space imperialism only accessible to the ultra rich. The Communist Antifascist alliance know as the Contra sets to make a plan to take down this juggernaut and restore peace to the galaxy.
