Unyielding

Music by Tougas/Münzner Lyrics by Tougas “(...)In accordance to the Crimson Concordat, potential galactic civil conflicts would “no longer be resolved in the barbaric ways of old”. It all depends on what your definition of barbarism is, however. Have you ever seen someone getting his entire skin envelope peeled off after being exposed to G-Force currents on the race tracks? Have you ever seen a former wingman falling off the rails to his death while the horrified screams of his wife and children in the grandstands are drowned out by the cheering and laughter of a million spectators thirsty for blood and violence? My military background and mastery of G-Force travelling was the reason they hand-picked me for the race, but truth is, they needed a scapegoat. On that day, I represented the interests of my people and became a legend, a hero. Forever to be remembered for a victory that would affect the fate of a trillion souls. This is what had been said to me and to countless others. The slow realization that I was but a mere puppet came later, while diplomats reaped the benefits and used this victory to justify their greed. This isn’t a sport. It’s war, and it’s no wonder humanity is hated. All was for naught. The controversy surrounding my departure from the circuit was justified, but perhaps this will help you understand why I did so in the first place.” -Xel’teras Errod, on his victory during the 1989 Grand Prix, Sol archives, 2001. In the distance, floating city lights paint the horizon Metal machines race towards infinity in unison In their wake, serpentine trails of fire radiate Exceeding supersonic velocity, end of the line. Bound for glory, fatal quest for exultation Only the bold will prevail Interstellar travellers hammer away For the race has just begun Hovering superstructures rise through the clouds solemnly Anti-Gravitational pathways lead them to triumph Smoldering remains fill the labyrinthine city streets Challengers from unknown lands race to the death on burning wheels Speeding phantoms drift into the stygian twilight Blazing towards victory Reaching out to the heavens in exaltation We arise and fulfill our destiny “Onward we ride into the setting sun Standing proud and tall, forever daring Our legacy echoes through the halls of time Far beyond the realms of eternity!” Solo 1 : Tougas Solo 2 (harmony) : Tougas/Münzner/Pitts Solo 3 : Münzner Solo 4 (harmony) : Tougas/Münzner/Pitts Solo 5 : Pitts Speeding phantoms drift into the stygian twilight Blazing towards victory Reaching out to the heavens in exaltation We arise and fulfill our destiny “Onward we ride into the setting sun Standing proud and tall, forever daring Our legacy echoes through the halls of time Far beyond the realms of eternity!”

Music by Münzner/Tougas Lyrics by Tougas “Before the Crimson Concordat was signed, Cyclonus was assigned to our unit in 1985 at the last minute to fight off the Torruus in the Sol System. He just had seen Torruus capital ships glass his entire homeworld in an instant when they invaded. Fortunately for him, mutated humans from outer colonies were still welcome to enlist in the inner system’s fleet. The one-eyed bastard was blind with rage, but he was an outmatched tactician. During the battle of Mimas, he hijacked a Torruus IC-class Flagship by himself via a malfunctioning hangar-bay gate and destroyed 10 battlecruisers and 34 C-Grade interceptors. A decisive battle that won us the war thanks to his action. Shortly after our victory, the Concordat was signed. It drove Cyclonus mad. He did not want peace. His thirst for revenge was never quenched so he deserted and fell off the grid while I became a race pilot in later years. During my time in the circuit, I heard from various sources that he became the sector’s most vicious mercenary. He is responsible for the destruction of the entire Vau solar system, amongst others.Surely you understand now why I was skeptical at first when the council asked him to join the fleet again. Not only that but they had the nerve to ask me to re-enlist out of retirement. Shortly after, they assigned me as his second in command in CF-1 during the second Pryarus emergence of 1999. How could a war-hero-turned murderous mercenary protect us and lead us to defend Helon IV, let alone Earth? In the end, he proved us all wrong. It’s as if he had completely changed over-night. Sure, big money was involved, but it had to be more than that due to the high-risk nature of the mission. Was it redemption? Personal Glory? Inner Peace? I wish I could ask him today, because none of us, not even Armon’Sul himself, would be alive today without him”. -Xel’teras Errod, on Cyclonus’ life and military service, Sol archives, 2001. Solo 1 : Tougas Solo 2 : Münzner Beckoned by the winds of war I’ve come to collect my bounty Ruthless battle-mech mercenary Blazing forth from the outer rims My name is known throughout the galaxy I am the last ones of my kind Solar systems stand or fall by my will Depending on who pays the high price Contract of war signed in Torruus blood The Cyclopean Force is called down So far from home I’ve travelled To reclaim what is mine High above the spirits soar Where triumph awaits me Legions from sector Xeros descend on the megapolis Standing on the edge of forever To defend the last inner colony The time has come to face my fate Far away, the city calls for me Shape-shifting titans in omega phalanx Collide under the fiery horizon No turning back - my mind is set Fulfill the mission, no matter the cost So far from home I’ve travelled To reclaim what is mine High above the spirits soar Where triumph awaits me Solo 3 (Harmony) : Tougas/Münzner/Pitts Solo 4 : Pitts So far from home I’ve travelled To reclaim what is mine High above the spirits soar Where triumph awaits me x2 Solo 5 : Tougas Solo 6 : Münzner

Music by Tougas/Münzner Lyrics by Tougas “We stood and watched as the great rift opened the burning heavens and archangels of iron descended from myriad stars to smite us. We stood and watched as once triumphant realms fell into nothingness and the shadows of forgotten monuments enshrouded us in despair. But in the hour of our final judgment came the righteous one with his undying steel, he who rode the north winds under the guidance of the twin suns. In the hour of our salvation he came aboard a golden ship, sailing from shores unknown. He who rode with the Armonian guard at his helm, crossed the streams of time.” -Excerpt from “Encyclopediae Aethemonium”, chapter IX : War of the first Emergence, 1399 A.D. Written by Enel Sul’Gana, Elder Historian and Archivist. Armon’Sul : “Sitting atop towering spires, the gods tremble Impotent as they witness our might From the crumbling ruins of our kingdom, we rise anew Across the realms, the clarion call is heard again!” Armonian Guard : “(Let) our shields glow in the light of hyperborean stars as we bathe in the crimson wine of battle!” “Grant us the strength and valor to carry on Take hold of the flame that burns within Raise your swords and hail the blazing dawn Fearless in our hearts, forever Unyielding” Armonian Guard : “Consecrated in the crystalline waters of Mimas (let our) prismatic blades sever the shackles of iniquity Armored in alloys forged from moonfires We stand united under the banners of Armon'Sul” Armonian Guard : “Bestowed with iron will, the path before us is clear” Armon’Sul : “Bear the mark of anointed steel, take your fate within your hands!” “Grant us the strength and valor to carry on Take hold of the flame that burns within Raise your swords and hail the blazing dawn Fearless in our hearts, forever Unyielding” Sul’Gana : “And here, they stood at the crest of destiny From the mountains to the seas, their light shone one last time” Armon’Sul : “There can never be victory without sacrifice. (You must) find the power within yourselves. Stand up and fight!" Solo 1 : Tougas Solo 2 : Münzner Solo 3 : Tougas Solo 4 : Münzner Solo 5 (Harmony) : Tougas/Münzner Sul’gana : “The price we pay for the sins of our fathers is the blood of our kin staining our once mighty halls Forget not those who stood their ground on that day In time, even death may die, but their legend lives on…” “Grant us the strength and valor to carry on Take hold of the flame that burns within Raise your swords and hail the blazing dawn Fearless in our hearts, forever Unyielding”

Music by Münzner Lyrics by Sanson/Münzner “(...)Alongside him came the templars of the twin suns ; blood brothers from the Hyperborean planes of existence. With sword in hand, the Armonian Guard stood proud as the crescent horn resounded through the hills with fervor. The extinguishing darkness from beyond was vanquished by the righteous light of the gleaming ones as they fulfilled their oath. And as we celebrated the eminence of our new hegemony, our saviors vanished, leaving behind to us their legacy, wisdom and teachings.” -Excerpt from “Encyclopediae Aethemonium”, chapter IX : War of the first Emergence, 1399 A.D.

Music by Tougas Lyrics by Tougas/Sanson “Un matin nous partons, le cerveau plein de flamme, Le coeur gros de rancune et de désirs amers, Et nous allons, suivant le rythme de la lame, Berçant notre infini sur le fini des mers : Les uns, joyeux de fuir une patrie infâme ; D'autres, l'horreur de leurs berceaux, et quelques-uns, Astrologues noyés dans les yeux d'une femme, La Circé tyrannique aux dangereux parfums. Pour n'être pas changés en bêtes, ils s'enivrent D'espace et de lumière et de cieux embrasés ; La glace qui les mord, les soleils qui les cuivrent Effacent lentement la marque des baisers” -C.B. Solo 1 : Tougas Solo 2 (Harmony) : Tougas/Münzner Long ago, we left our homeland In search of our destiny In solemn silence we gaze upon the dawn Unfaltering, we fulfill our oath Far away from golden shores North winds carry our names Under crystal skies, we sail on (and on) Over horizonless seas From above distant white mountains We have heard the heavens weep For we sail towards our last sunrise Into glory ride, the spirits will lead us Far away from golden shores North winds carry our names Under crystal skies, we sail on (and on) Over horizonless seas Are we facing the end? Is this nightmare worth all the tears and the blood? The mystery is gone by the time when we said good-bye And we left our lives behind Solo 3 : Tougas Far away from golden shores North winds carry our names Under crystal skies, we sail on (and on) Over horizonless seas Ending Solo : Münzner

Music and lyrics by Münzner/Tougas “What are gods to man? Shepherds watching over their flock, shielding us from the wolves of the night? Nothing but mere delusions created by beguiled men arrogantly claiming to be their disciples. Hidden in the darkness, the gods are but a collective consciousness, unseen and untouched, their omniscience absolute. They are the beginning and the end of existence. They don’t have to want to. They don’t have to think about it. They just are. I have seen them in my visions, slumbering in the deepest depths of cosmic darkness beyond the stars themselves. I have seen them awaken in their darkened domains, their cries shattering the stars and planets alike. Heed my words or all will perish under the scythes of their divine wrath!” -Ghar Sul’Emun, moments before his execution, 1167 A.D (68 years after the discovery) Excerpt taken from “Encyclopediae Aethemonium”. The legend of the elders, an ancient prophecy Foretells a future vision, the final cataclysm Eternities have passed by, we saw the last star fall Bells chime the last rites of uncreation Riding on solar storms through cosmic endlessness Synthetical intelligence created to evoke the wrath of the gods Legions of steel marching on through the night Cosmic rays of high energy blaze the sky Stellar raiders emerge from the depths of infinity Time and space merge on the battlefield Under crimson moonlight Dark comets fill the night sky, burning with astral fire Divine creations bring the fall of time Stardust and asteroid fields, infinite dimensions The dawn of time, the end of days, a boundless sea of infinite realities Legions of steel marching on through the night Cosmic rays of high energy blaze the sky Stellar raiders emerge from the depths of infinity Time and space merge on the battlefield Under crimson moonlight Solo 1 (Harmony) : Tougas/Münzner Solo 2 : Tougas Solo 2 : Pitts Solo 3 : Münzner Solo 5 (Harmony) : Tougas/Münzner Legions of steel marching on through the night Cosmic rays of high energy blaze the sky Stellar raiders emerge from the depths of infinity Time and space merge on the battlefield Under crimson moonlight

As I solemnly stood alone amongst the silent tombs, I inhaled the ancestral miasma from Azhok’s chalice and became entranced as the memories of my ancestors became mine. Dream... Here lie the ruins of the Kingdom of Shtligudnra and its long lost legacy of darkness. By the powers of Iirzhol bestowed upon me by my forefathers, what once was, shall be again. Sh’tlozhk’akta!

Music by Münzner Lyrics by Münzner/Tougas “(...)Despite our grief, we looked up to the stars with a shimmering hope, for one day the mantle of Armon’Sul would be passed on again. When the day comes and the darkness returns, our shields will glow in the light of the twin suns and the hammer of the gods will shatter on them. Should our flame be extinguished by the shadows of the night once more, we will die upon our feet and never yield.” And we will hail his return with swords held high towards the cerulean skies(...)” Excerpt taken from “Encyclopediae Aethemonium”, chapter IX : War of the first Emergence, 1399 A.D. Written by Enel Sul’Gana, Elder Historian and Archivist. “(...)I, for one, never believed in these foolish legends, but 2 years ago when I saw him with my own eyes, I was proved wrong. After we were reluctantly let go from the brig by the council following the Helon IV fiasco, Cyclonus and I were reinstated. The Cyclopean Force was reassigned to be led by Armon’Sul for a counter-offensive operation on earth and we both witnessed first hand why legends were made out of this character. I still don’t know if it was actually *him* or someone else who took upon his title, but the armor and weapons he and his men wielded were certainly not man-made. They looked ancient and completely alien to us. He couldn’t be a fake. His sword for example, cut through Pryarus energy shields better than our strongest firearms and plasma blades ever did. Who is he truly? Where did he acquire such weapons and skill? The rest that followed is just a blur. Hundreds of thousands died from both sides, with Armon’Sul presumably responsible for dispatching half of the enemy infantry by himself judging from how their bodies were disassembled. The Sol system was safe yet again. Shortly after, he was never seen again, and Cyclonus was nowhere to be found - his body was never recovered nor do we have any proof that he’s alive. I still don’t know how to process all of this and I don’t know what will happen next. We may have won the battle, but we have not won the war. We will drive the Pryarus out of our homes, solar system after solar system, no matter the cost. -Xel’terras Errod, Sol archives, 2001.
