In the halls of the Neural State, where biology meets the machine We sailed through the data streams, on paths no eye had seen I held the sword of justice high, a commander of the fleet While Frag empires fueled their suns, preparing our defeat They held the core of ancient power, a gift we could not wield But longevity was our armor, and the stars our battlefield A trap was set in the void of space, where the nebula turns to red The Regent's son, a man of pride, by vanity was led Retreat! I cried as the shadows closed, but he hungered for the light A thousand brothers turned to ash in the silence of the night The Regent lied to save his kin, his blood before the law And cast me down to the world of waste, to the scrap-heap's iron jaw Betrayed by the uniform, exiled to the rust A ghost among the wreckage, a king within the dust But hate is a cold reactor, and vengeance is the key To turn the chains of silence into a storm across the sea! In the pits of the junk-world, the outcasts found their breath We learned to harvest the enemy, to bridge the gap of death We wired the Frags into the hull, their souls our battery fire A new faction rises from the dark, a funeral pyre! The galaxy trembled as we returned, a nightmare made of steel The Regent's throne was made of glass, and now he had to kneel I claimed the lives of the traitors, I watched their empires fall But the blood of the innocent stained the stars, a shadow over all I gave my secrets to the weak, and I set out, alone I left the stars, beyond the maps where the cosmic whispers finally cease I found a world of blue and green, a sanctuary No neural links here, no iron wings, just the scent of rain, and the warm earth A place where a dying soldier could find a second birth And there he stood by the water's edge, with wood and hammer in hand A man of peace, with gentle eyes, in a simple, desert land I left the stars to find the soul, I left the war behind To follow the one who walks the waves, the healer of the blind No crowns of gold, no ships of war, just the truth within his breath The Carpenter of Galilee, has conquered even death The Galilean looked at me, and I finally understood The war is over I am home
