We have seen the first sunrise, and now we have seen the last. Once we were young, but the time has come for us to pass. We must go beyond space, and beyond time. The great rift shines brightly in the sky. It beckons to us. Is this a death, or a new life? We must go. We were wicked, we were graceful. We were mortal. We were even gods, but that is all in the past. Our chapter has closed. We have reached our end. Now we witness worlds cascade around us. We know where we must go. The realm of our dreams. The fantastic visage in the sky. We must go to the distant light. The sundered ruin that once was our home can no longer contain our souls With fire and blood we made our names known, now we leave our primordial throne

Dreams 04:26
I have seen your dreams. Follow them to me. The whispers in the night show me a blissful sight. Oh, what vivid dreams. They call to me. Visions of frozen fields. Feelings of what could be. I want to see the dark and unknown. The recesses of the great cosmos. I will spread my wings, and join the cosmic kings. I have heard your call. I will walk your hall.

Son 03:19
I am gone and you feel alone. You believe you've lost your guide. I have seen how you have grown. Do not cry, you are my pride. My time here may have ended, but I don't you to dwell on my demise. Think about your future and what you have to do. I've had my time, but you still have yours. Don't let your heart get heavy. Think of where you want to be, and go. Oh my son, you are the one. Claim your right, and take the night. My son. The one. The night.

Fire, Fury, Raging anger. Fetid, ruined, old and broken. Saviors savaged, wilted banners. I once walked among you, Now I serve the darkness. I am broken and in chains. Once I was pure and mighty, Now I am corrupt and rotten. Visions of malice haunt my dreams. I am death and ruin. I feel only ire. I want total destruction. I am living hatred. I have become terror. Why can't this nightmare end for me? The heavens have awakened. My masters pull at my chains. Save my wretched mangled form. Sorrow, pain, and torture. My life was stolen. My kin, please come to cleanse my soul. Darkness dimmed my spirit. Left to evil wishes. Corrupted at my core. Save me from the eldritch forces that will take me to the dark and blackened void. It came with no warning. Voices singing to me. They enslaved my spirit. I wait for redemption. Weary from years of thralldom. End my misery. My shackles have been broken. A gentle touch returned me to the light. My kin have freed me. They made me hole. My spirit, cleansed and fated, journeys to the sky.

A New Age 11:09
We have been left behind. We will reach the next echelon. The next chapter has begun. The time has come To try, to fly, To awaken, and retake our right. Open the door. It is your time. A brand new day. The long night is over. We have been given another chance. The battle is not done. We have not yet won. Open your eyes and see. Behold our destiny. The wind has blown our way. Do not waste this chance. Take up your arms and fight. We must unite. We will take our world. We will slay the beasts. Never fall. Never give in. The dawn. A new age.
7.
Our hearts are strong. The stars begin to call to us. Soon we will know what awaits in the unknown. Eternity has come. We are a setting sun. Will we whither, or will we burn bright? Enter the twilight. The answer is inside the light. We've lived through ancient times. We've spent our spark of life. We've seen the winds grow old, and now our time has come to die like those who came before. Ascension is in store. Spirits fading, Worlds cascading, As we go into the distant light. Our era is long gone. We have seen the final dawn. Reach out and touch the universe's heart. There is no need for fear. Do not be unnerved. As we go to the distant light.
