LYRICS

Redact any trace of the human blight
Keen in all your clever designs
This skeleton malign
A wraith of reckless ire

“I've felt the pull this hate allows!
I am the hurt built just to keep you out!”

A rot of birdsong forms your lies
The ink scabbing on the edge of your knife
In this seek we place our find
The bleached mask you lurk behind

Obfuscate the nature of our youth
The echoes whisper of the stifled truth
You are the picture of him; the “Great Altruist”
Your will: a sagging mortar in this empire of broken bricks

Signal fires will light our way
Their smoke flirting with the ancient decay
Here, beneath the milky way
Our past we face to slay

Pray for a way out of this
Before we're walled inside your Ancient Obelisk

“Your eyes will feed the crows!
Ground between my teeth and mechanical bones!”
Because sticks and stones may break this throne.

EP STORY SYNOPSIS

After narrowly escaping the space-and-time-eating Master Collider, the Oscillator has split into two parts and crash-landed into the wasteland of Earth. Destroyed by nuclear fallout some 500 years earlier, ancient autonomous war machines still roam the barren landscapes, inhabited by the ghosts of the old gods or the spectres of the damned. Persephone Larksong, known to her followers as the Dawnstar, leads one of the last vestiges of humanity in their quest to reunite the refugee colony of Europa to their native land. They must rekindle the beacon which enables time-bending travel, housed within the once-proud Obelisk of Man, and now crumbling to ruin in the desert wastes.

Having usurped and murdered the last vestiges of higher celestial Good in the universe, Shifty Shifter lies in wait - eager to consume the soul of the Dawnstar (the reincarnated spirit of his oldest and truest foil). Will her eventual self-sacrifice spell doom for the outliers of humanity, or will she shatter Shifty's indomitable power and turn the tide for the better?
