ROBOTRUMBLE (Boss Fight)

Let him come, lay the trap, and bait the corner
Feign the trip and pull him in, cogs and gears they mesh within
Glowing lenses paint the target active
Spilling oil, I stumble on, escape can wait, must see this done
Heightened senses highlight subtle weakness
I can smell it, only so much they can teach us
Get up.
Get up!
Hit a wall but I simply can’t be beaten
More at stake than they believe, eyes draw out to open seas
This secret program must be anger
Feel the paint and topcoat boil, atoms bursting from the coils
Flames of plasma lick my armour
As we circle, one thing’s clear: the battle’s close is drawing near
A final push for perfect freedom
Cycle batteries to full power
A blaze of glory
Zero hour
Get up.
Get up!

Dunes Divided
04:19
|

|
From the sand came forth the rhythm of our land
The sacred ground torn asunder
By force of an ancient wisdom
And the wind blew in the currents of our kin
They watched the storm muster
As primal shapes formed as a pyre
Deep from the blaze did sound a fervid polonaise
And dancing out, parting the flames
Came godly beings clad in crimson
Awestruck folk took up in song
‘Freedom’ they sang ‘Freedom’
Helm in hand, stepped forth a hero firebrand
With strength of will absolute
Made sharp through an age of struggle
Iron eyes surveyed the subjects’ joyous cries
He felt the crowd burning
With faith in whom now stood before them
‘We will claim the dunes as ours
A golden age comes to pass
Join me as I sing freedom, freedom’

Drifter
03:53
|

|
He looked to the skies and saw brightly coloured balloons drifting off into the distance
Each one the start of a journey, a shining soul striking out into the unknown
He too could have followed suit and taken flight with comrades
Following a path laid out by generations before him and generations to come
Yet here he stood
Eyes fixed on the rolling hills and reddening sky ahead
Prepared for an entirely different fate
Pack full and insides fluttering with anticipation
He strode forward and embraced his destiny
The mantle of drifter was his and his alone
The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once and persist until you are fulfilled
For there will be your truth
When the path is clear and everything is clear
Then the others see clear to think it clear
But when the destination is unclear, then it becomes clear in itself
As is the reflection on the water
The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once and persist until you are fulfilled
For there will be your truth
Fractured mountains
Clear crystal of the water
Snow drifts curling from the edge of cliffs
All this was his domain, left to explore and to discover what was then unknown
So overwhelming it almost felt holy, like a pillar of light piercing a heavy sky
The course was set and was his alone to navigate
The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once and persist until you are fulfilled
For there will be your truth
When the path is clear and everything is clear
Then the others see clear to think it clear
But when the destination is unclear, then it becomes clear in itself
As is the reflection on the water
The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once and persist until you are fulfilled
For there will be your truth
The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once

Silent Window
04:31
|
|||
|
Sitting idle in fantasy, perspective heals, my thoughts renewed
Waiting in a world inside my head just searching for a point of view
A whisper on the wind and I’m in
Diving through the pane of glass
And hours pass, I start anew
Here we are, set apart by the times again
I turn the wheel, head for home
Gone like a wisp in the wind
This hollow age pulls the heart, but I know the sun will shine
Longing cries draw me back inside
To the silent window
A single droplet falls just out of sight
The sound is lost within the frame
It must be that time of day, the light reflects so sharply
When you’re not at play
Patterns formed from clouds morph the colours
I drift to reverie
A knock comes from the door, and I soar
Lost inside the aperture
And hours pass, I start anew
Here we are, set apart by the times again
I turn the wheel, head for home
Gone like a wisp in the wind
This hollow age pulls the heart, but I know the sun will shine
Longing cries draw me back inside
To the silent window
The dust of sleepless night streaks my vision
I turn inside to mask the burn
Searching for some insight in the glass, no answer comes when beckoned forth
A flash of perfect light and I strike
Headlong for the silent pool
And hours pass, I start anew
Here we are, set apart by the times again
I turn the wheel, head for home
Gone like a wisp in the wind
This hollow age pulls the heart, but I know the sun will shine
Longing cries draw me back inside
To the silent window

Take to the Water
03:21
|

Let’s take to the water
We’ll run to the sea
We’ll all be free
I wanna get out!
Let me out!
Jump out of the windows
We’ll run for our lives
Destroy the hive
We’ll walk on the ceiling
Study the charts
Discover our heart
I wanna get out!
Let me out!
Take you to the water
Throw off the tie lines
Set sail down the drainage
Get off the rigging
Hop down
Got to see it to sink down
(We enter the dust bowl)
Got action!
(Floating on the silver seas)
Force down the main sails!
(Forgetting the markers)
Get the buckets!
(Help me and I’ll set you free)
She was always dreaming
Of winds and salt, blown from the sea
She said, ‘I really must be leaving
I need to feel the peace of being free’
We’ll break from our masters
Escape their control
Fashion our souls
Explore all the corners
We’ll share what we learn
No longer to yearn
I wanna get out!
Let me out!
Take you to the water
(We enter the dust bowl)
Got action!
(Floating on the silver seas)
Set sail down the drainage
(Forgetting the markers)
Get the buckets!
(Help me and I’ll set you free)
She was always dreaming
Of winds and salt, blown from the sea
She said, ‘I really must be leaving
To catch the tide, the currents hide from me’
Got to launch at sunup
Take a leap, a run up
All the world to search and treasure
My dear, we just don’t have forever
I wanna get out!
Let me out!
