Pandora: The last traces of our past Fade through the shuttle window We lose everything again Clean the stains that we’ve left On this shining empire This Empire of Sin Typhon: Forced to begin anew Lulled into false security We’re never free of these flaws He scours the lands until it's free Removes every trace of the old regime The Hunter is his name, and for us he came Pandora: A planet on the outskirts of the empire Plagued by conflict and the sounds of gunfire Only the strongest live and breathe here For the air smells of ash and fear This is where we hope to disappear Start again and wipe our records clear The Hunter will follow We shall live no longer Typhon: When I ruled, I ignored their pleas If this is where I will live I will pay their same price For a failed emperor is what I am Pandora: These struggles were almost imagined Oblivious I was to common life Sheltered, spoiled, an existence removed From those who toiled and strained and moved A year ago all of that changed When our lives were rearranged Dethroned, wanted, and powerless too Look at us now, we’re just like you Typhon: We have fallen from the stars Nothing to live for but the sake of living No redemption, only shame For a failed emperor is what I am The Hunter: All of his sympathizers much be cast down Typhon is dethroned, he was a horrible man His reign of terror is over, a new era has begun All are free to walk the streets with no fear in their hearts The common folk with thrive but the rest will tremble and shake The bourgeoisie will flee from The Hunter, their lives are at stake Typhon’s hateful practices will die with him His rule was a blot on our nation, his empire was of sin Pandora: The last traces of our past Fade through the shuttle window We lose everything again Clean the stains that we’ve left On this shining empire This Empire of Sin Typhon: The Hunter’s shuttle hurtles through space A weapon of death disguised as a lone gray dot The planet’s surface draws close, descent is near And we are falling, falling is our only escape Friction of the atmosphere, incineration of the craft Our lives are burning, and burning, we’ll crash And we’re falling, falling is our only escape The only direction we can go is down The Hunter: You’ll die or you’re trapped, there is no choice Losing your life is worse than losing your voice Typhon: We’re skating over the surface, about to tip Vanish into the clouds and maybe we’ll lose him The Hunter: You won’t last long on the hell planet The winds and the fire will destroy before I get the chance Typhon: Skidding and burning over solid ground We’ve fallen and landed but still the only way is down

Pandora: Years ago, I didn’t know The depths of our wrongs The protests of suffering I couldn’t realize we were the cause Typhon: Up high I lived out of their sights By means of force I tightened their shackles With their toiling, we could only grow stronger And now I walk among the filth I’ve created Pandora: Dragging feet and soiled face Defeat of knowing you can’t go home Imposed on every one of them No value outside of your work Can’t remember when it hit me first I had a slow coming of age They toil not for honor and love But what will happen if they give up Typhon: My fortress in the sky has crumbled Pieces crash down like burning meteors They were brave enough to step out of line And put me back in my place

Pandora: Horrific fear we have brought A scourge who has followed us here I tell myself He would’ve come anyways Rumors begin to spread Who has brought another curse Upon these ravaged lands? Upon lands that are yet again purged The Hunter searches not only for us A main target but there’s plenty more to kill Typhon: Everywhere I go I bring destruction I’ve learned, no longer I want it to be this way I am the curse, I am the harbringer I flog myself with guilt The Hunter: These lands must be purged Freedom comes at a price From town to town I round them up like animals I burn the rich And shoot the protesters This is for the good of us all Typhon’s reign saw far worse Typhon: The only way for me is down My wrongs can always grow My sins will always show Even the memory of my rule brings terror The Hunter: His sympathizers are never prepared Warnings and watchers are not enough I have power beyond humanity’s Alone I bring a planet to its knees Typhon, I will end you, your bloodline will perish Pandora is my final prize, proof to your people that all hope has died It’s a matter of time for you, and that time will run out I will find you. I will end you and you’ll be Fragmented and forced into the light You steal from mankind and you can’t tell wrong from right You can’t think in the way that we do You and your kind are not the chosen few Pandora: The rumors have spread Who has brought another curse Upon these ravaged lands? Upon lands that are yet again purged

Pandora: As the menace grows, we rest passively It’s time to take a stand, and take command of our fates It’s for us he hunts, these others are in the way Innocent lives, they are collateral damage Typhon: There is nowhere left to run to And there is nothing that I can do To stand and fight is suicide I won’t live to see daylight The Hunter’s job will not be done Rebels, insurgents, still on the run Pandora: When will you see? Redeemed is what you’re meant to be You’ll never get the chance to do it all again Take what you get, no sorrow and no regret The old is as bad as the new, the cycle of power is never through In the scheme of it all, it may seem so, but no sacrifice is ever small If this is as much as we can do, then we’ll do it and carry it through We’ve been helping as much as we can Building their houses and tilling the land The villagers look to us Strange strangers who know more than they do Typhon: My conditions have worsened Becoming nobody has taken its toll One Hunter will fall but more will take his place His death will bring a crackdown upon these innocent souls To stand and fight is suicide I won’t live to see daylight Dear Pandora, your idealism will get you nowhere You have succumbed to the delusion of hope Pandora: I beg of you, you must undo your wrongs You’re a better man than before, and that’s what gives me hope

The Hunter: Typhon’s lair I’ve reached False security breached His sympathizers cower Before my inhuman form Tell me the truth, And I’ll spare you a moment longer I am the curse upon these ravaged lands I am the harbringer of the purge And so I smell their burning flesh Cries of terror, grief, and mercy Background noise, just another day For I have come to rape this world Around me a vortex of extinction swirls I walk unscathed from burning lands Lowlives and traitors all die by my hand No memories I permit to survive With their disgraceful owners they die I tear down your flags and new ones unfurl For I have come to rape this world I just missed him, they say Why are they willing to die for their oppressor? He’s gone off for the day, they say Do they not know that it’s him? The man who enslaved them The man who could not provide Why do they stand by him? If you only joined me, it would be so easy And so I smell their burning flesh Cries of terror, grief, and mercy Background noise, just another day This time I’m so close to my final prize No pleas I listen to No words I’ll hear The ones who flee I cut them down Vaporized Nothing left to decay Torched alive No one survives (2x) For I have come to rape this world Around me a vortex of extinction swirls I walk unscathed from burning lands Lowlives and traitors all die by my hand No memories I permit to survive With their disgraceful owners they die I tear down your flags and new ones unfurl For I have come to rape this world

Pandora: The sun rises over jagged hills Orange light creeps into the sky Long shadows of the spires Ravaged lands, already so barren Our burning star Casts fire above Destruction or a bright future Take your pick This is not my battle I lived in ignorance Oblivious, oblivious to all Atop these unforgiving spires Typhon stands his ground A challenger approaches, grows closer Typhon: I fight for the people of this hellscape I know I can never return to power, nor do I want to But I must dislodge your new injustice I can’t turn back now, so I will fight The Hunter: I descend from burning skies Inhumanly invincible At last you’ve learned that you can’t hide Miserable old man, easy defeat I am the scourge of a whole planet So now I will wipe you from existence Typhon: Adept in my day I was I pull from my sheathe one measly sword No good will this do Outmatched, out of practice, I stand no chance, do I? The Hunter: I won’t let this pleasure end so soon And so I discard my guns and draw my blade Typhon: Off comes his mask and he is just another man Glory and strength of battle empower me I initiate the strike and the dance begins Clashing blades atop precarious spires The Hunter: This fresh new confidence will be the death of you All I must do is wear out your weak tired body And you will crumble just like your reign Every lunge you make I force you back with ease Typhon: Here I am, holding up better than I thought The Hunter goes not full force on me I know better than to match his overconfidence This righteous rage, for once I deserve its aid The Hunter: A slow circle around each other Like knife fighters waiting for an opening Typhon: If you are the scourge of a whole planet Step up your fight, give me my money’s worth Pandora: The crowd of survivors has gathered here At the base of the forest of spires Disguises removed, both Hunter and Typhon Identity revealed, they finally see ‘The Dark Lord Typhon, he is the reason that our neighbors were slaughtered’ The Hunter: No longer will I hold back Those weak villagers must be reminded Of my true power, my true fury Typhon thinks he stands a chance, I prove him wrong Typhon: The onslaught redoubles and sparks fly The sky above is bleeding, is this how I die? Pandora: (Repeated) He fights, he fights The Hunter for us He fights, he fights The Hunter for you Typhon: Below us, a roar of the earth shaking, the spire collapsing A look of shared disbelief between two enemies As we crash and fall towards the ground All along, that the only way was down

Pandora: I should have listened It would have spared him The value of human life Against redemption Can’t undo what’s been done No sorrow and no regret No regret When will this violence end We die unknown When will the power cycle close Unknown to none but ourselves
