Lords of Cydonia
Lyrics
(LETS GO!)
As they fall! Crumbling—forward till I heed their call! Rip and tearing underneath their walls! The path is clearer—sanctify it all! Burn it cleanly! Burn it cleanly! BURN IT CLEANLY!
Through iron skies, the titans wake, Bound by code and flame we break. The red sands echo a thousand names— Lords of silence, crowned in shame.
Engines scream our psalms of war, Rust and thunder, forevermore. Under starlight’s cruel dominion, We ride the storm—WE RIDE THE STORM!
Blades of dawn, ignite our breath, Rise from ruin, cheat our death! By blood, by fire, by oath, by sin— The steel remembers where we’ve been!
As they fall! Crumbling—forward till I heed their call! Rip and tearing underneath their walls! The path is clearer—sanctify it all! Burn it cleanly! Burn it cleanly! BURN IT CLEANLY!
Through empty prayers, I hear them plead— The saints of alchemy, the ghosts of creed. “Your fate is written in dust and stone— Cydonia’s heart was never your own.”
We built our thrones from shattered code! We crowned the void, we bore its load! Now rise, my kin—ascend, defy! The final pulse, the battle cry!
Blades of dawn, ignite our breath, Rise from ruin, cheat our death! By blood, by fire, by oath, by sin— The stars are waiting, let us in!
As they fall! Crumbling—forward till I heed their call! Rip and tearing underneath their walls! The path is clearer—sanctify it all!
Burn it cleanly! Burn it cleanly! BURN IT CLEANLY—SET IT FREE! The Lords of Cydonia ride! (Through fire, through storm, through the endless night!)
Cydonia! Cydonia! Lords of fire, rise again! Cydonia! Cydonia! Burn the sky, and cleanse the sin!
