Lyrics

"When the bones of our oppressors have turned to dust;
And the cause that we serve rules the world
In a vision, visitation, all hail the revolution!"

A vision of evo-, revolution
Armies of the past retreat in the wake of revolution
A journey to the country of the fourth admission
A spectacle of awakening light
The soldiers are baffled but still they fight

Creator; destroyer; victory; defeat;
I did not come to bring a sleep
Black flag; red flag; space and time;
The future is my mind

Judgement day descends upon us after the revolution
The purge has come to set you free;
On the lips, the light called truth
A modest time for victory
Energy imprisoned will make itself free

[Instrumental]

Creator; destroyer; victory; defeat;
I did not come to bring a sleep
Black flag; red flag; space and time;
The future is my mind

When the war comes... when the war comes..
When the war comes... when the war comes..
War comes... when the war comes..

[Instrumental]
