I saw him in a dream so real
I heard my future calling me
From ash to ash
Come the fall of all we know
From dust to dust
As we watch the heavens glow
We all serve the lord of pain
Now the world will change again
In atonement we will be
To the end of history
From far away, across the stars
I heard the spirits calling me
From fall to rise
The shaping of another world
Shadow to light
As we watch the heavens burn
We all serve the lord of pain
Now the world will change again
In atonement we will be
To the end of history
On hyperion we find
Final fate of human kind
And when all we know is gone
May our lord help us move on
"Saturn is fallen, am I too to fall?
Am I to leave this haven of my rest,
These crystalline pavilions, and pure fanes,
Of all my lucent empire?
The blaze, the splendour, and the symmetry,
I cannot see—but darkness, death and darkness."
Solos
We all serve the lord of pain
Now the world will change again
In atonement we will be
To the end of history
Final fate of human kind
And when all we know is gone
May our lord help us move on
