Started writing this song about ten years ago. Only recording it now. Released accidentally on the birthday of Phantasy Star. What timing.
lyrics
We praise the beauty of our mother
A ruler stronger than any other
Our plough shears built from swords
Is what our history will record
Concrete giants stand upon the land
Casting iron shadows where they stand
Scrape the sky with crowns of stone
Kneel on glass before her electric throne
This is the collapse
Into dust and ash
Destruction
Eruption
Our worlds are deceived
Constructed for belief
Creation
Under our sun
This will fall apart
We must break her heart
Her mainframe
Burns in flames
We won't leave this fort
Inside her steel court
We will die
Let me tell you why
Enslaved to the skies, we lived under her lies
The computer queen is a killing machine
She was built by the hands of mortal man
They'll destroy it all unless the fortress now falls
They won't remember our names burning in flames
Just like everything here for the next thousand years
For our freedom we fight against a deity's might
We will die in this place, in this fortress in space
Deserts transformed into fields of green
Filthy oceans now blue and clean
All of this was planned for so very long
But reality is so completely wrong
They stole our lives while we simply slept
No one knew the lies that they kept
The choice was never even ours to choose
To deny and fight or believe and lose
This is the collapse
Into dust and ash
Destruction
Eruption
Our worlds are deceived
Constructed for belief
Creation
Under our sun
This will fall apart
We must break her heart
Her mainframe
Burns in flames
We won't leave this fort
Inside her steel court
We will die
Let me tell you why
Enslaved to the skies, we lived under her lies
The computer queen is a killing machine
She was built by the hands of mortal man
They'll destroy it all unless the fortress now falls
They won't remember our names burning in flames
Just like everything here for the next thousand years
For our freedom we fight against a deity's might
We will die in this place, in this fortress in space
