Lucy Cypher 01:41
(Father) you control me / pledge to the unholy ones / your daughters and sons. You gave us your word / we entrust / you gave us your guns / in your bloodlust. We yearn (oh we yearn) to watch it burn / it's our turn / seven years / we'll speak the name that Heaven fears. Death to the King and the human race / we won't accept another fucking disgrace.

I knew I fucked it up as soon as I started / said some stupid shit coz I'm fucking retarded / I knew I messed up by the look on your face / yeah, I'm a bad-ass wizard who arrived from space / no wait, let me go back / shit, I already fucked up this track / now you're going to think I suck / but whatever... I don't give a fuck / I wanted to bring you back with me / I wanted you to see / I could give you everything / don'cha know baby, I'm the fucking King / but I fucked it up coz I just couldn't wait / and I think about you every time I masturbate / I could have said nothing / everything would be cool / shit-... I should have said nothing but I'm a fucking fool. I spent so fucking long thinking about everything I wanted to say to her but I could never find the right words and it all just sort of tumbled of awkwardly and there was nothing that I could do to make her understand. Crystal Castles meets Coheed / you can cut me open and watch me bleed / like Nine Inch Nails but not that great / I fucked this all up but please don't hate / and sometimes I think I'd be better off dead / but I'm still pretty sure that it's all in my head / like the Deftones except I can't sing / don'cha know baby, I'm the fucking King / like the Blood Brothers except it's one guy / who records stupid shit every time he gets high / like MSI with no fan base / I'm a bad-ass wizard who arrived from space / I fucked myself over when I hit send / come with me and play pretend / I can't stop thinking of this / all I wanted was-... ((one kiss)) ah, whatever. I don't want to think about this any fucking more (x4)

God 00:53
God... I've tried so hard to make it through... Why the hell did you make me this way? How about a little fucking clue? What the hell do you want me to say? Why the fuck did you make me this way? I've tried so hard to make it through... So what the fuck do you want me to do?

fire and ice / hot and cold / making us shy and making us bold / science and nature / always at odds / the will of man and the will of gods / the endless darkness and the holy light / cause us to love and cause us to fight / ice and fire / fear and desire / to be honest / or to be a liar / do you remember that night in December? we were filled with desire / by the light of the fire / your hands were so cold / we might as well / I was feeling bold / promise not to tell / and you knew exactly what was on my mind / our bodies intertwined / you knew exactly what was on my mind / our bodies intertwined / and I knew that we shouldn’t touch / but I never wanted anything this much / you knew exactly what I wanted to do / I wanna be inside of you / do you remember that night in December? do you remember that night in December? do you remember that night in December? do you remember that night in December? between these four walls / as winter’s snow falls / with nothing between us / there was nothing left to discuss / you knew exactly what was on my mind / our bodies intertwined / you knew exactly what was on my mind / our bodies intertwined / and I knew that we shouldn’t touch / but I never wanted anything this much / you knew exactly what I wanted to do / I wanna be inside of you

Seven years had passed since the birth of the blue star. Civil war between the Knights of Hope and the Necronoymous had ravaged New Earth. The war had been shifting in favor of James' army as his knights cut down countless necromancers and their undead minions, but the tides of battle had shifted suddenly as a new army of demon warriors under the command of Lucy Cypher arrived from space to aid the Necronoymous. The knights of the Seven Kingdoms of Neo Valhalla and their allies were outnumbered a thousand to one, but they still refused to give up hope. Buried beneath the frost, angels tossed down from the sky. Lay down your sword, renounce your lord, pledge allegiance to the demon horde. We grope the skies for that blue star even if we never make it that far. We held out hope against all odds, we had the gods on our side. James sought out his old friend, Adam Sapphire. The legendary wizard who traded his immortality to save the multiverse seven years earlier. Shortly after felling the resurrected half-demon Naberius who had been brought back to life by the necromancer known as Ezekiel Black Adam had gone into seclusion at Southwind Tower, overlooking the great divide, the massive rift that nearly split Earth in two 10,000 years ago. Adam had been content to live out the rest of his days alone in that tower. James' prayed that his old friend would come to his senses and return to the battle. They told us Earth was lost and that the cost was far too high. Lay down your sword, renounce your lord, pledge allegiance to the demon horde. We grope the skies for that blue star even if we never make it that far. We held out hope against all odds, we had the gods on our side. James traveled to Southwind Tower along with his two daughters,Terra and Halley, and his niece and nephew Princess Luna the ice witch and Prince Sol the pyromancer. After a lengthy philosophical discussion they convinced Adam to once again take up his sword, Oblivion Godsbane, a spell-forged blade crafted for him on the Astral Plane, even the most powerful magic could not heal the wounds Godsbane inflicted. Adam returned Sapphire Edge to James Hope, since it was his birthright and entrusted the great white wizard's twin swords Heaven's Gate and Death's Sweet embrace to Luna and Sol. Buried beneath the frost, angels tossed down from the sky. Lay down your sword, renounce your lord, pledge allegiance to the demon horde. We grope the skies for that blue star even if we never make it that far. We held out hope against all odds, we had the gods on our side.

I'll take you down a thousand to one / I wear the crown coz I'm the fucking king / grab your gun and BANG BANG BANG / I ain't afraid of anything / from dusk 'til dawn / king takes pawn / my sword's drawn / I'll take you all on / hellspawn / I'm ready to brawl / I'm the best so fuck you all / they scream and shout tryin' to bleed me out / this voice in my head won't stop 'til you're all dead / and I don't give a fuck if I die tonight / and I don't give a fuck if I lose this fight / I swore this / before this / consumes me / the abyss / of those days past / we reminisce / it couldn't last / so now I'm pissed / you think you can just take my shit? / fuck you / I'm never going to submit / defy / I ain't afraid to die / when I see that blue star up in the sky / I'll take you down a thousand to one / I wear the crown 'cuz I'm the fucking king / so grab your gun and BANG BANG BANG / 'cuz I ain't afraid of anything

Amethyst 01:40
You had all the time in the world / curled up on the floor / you cursed the gods / you wanted so much more / so weak and frail / destined to fail / the final nail was hammered in / the devils grin / consumed by sin / you've become so pale and thin "You just couldn't see. You couldn't see that I'm a genius!" "Genius? Do you know what genius is?" "I know that I am one." "Maybe, maybe you do have that gift. Maybe your theory could have had merit, but we don't know because genius isn't just one good idea or one successful experiment, Adam. Genius is work; thousands of hours of work ... That's why you didn't make it. You didn't do the work." You had all the time in the world / curled up on the floor / you cursed the gods / you wanted so much more / so weak and frail / destined to fail / the final nail was hammered in / the devils grin / consumed by sin / you've become so pale and thin "Would you do that, Adam? Would you kill yourself for her?" "Just think about ∞ & jump."
