A Long Farewell Songtext
von Manticora

A murder without death, just one minute of complete disconnection
Loss of aeons of time, loss of mass amount of information
Left outside the web, with five days unaccouted for
A millenium of non-communication

Searching across the galaxy wide for the data lost
Unknown enemies ready to strike, to kill at any cost
Penetrating core periphery, finding the old earth recreation
Saved in a temple, as I received the implant information

Secrets hidden in lost memory
Together we′ll find it, and we'll write history
Beautiful stranger, your life′s a mystery

Secrets hidden in lost memory
Together we'll find it, and we'll write history

Divided in three, each fighting their own fight
To gain the same purpose, to gain the same might
Solids argue that between core and humanity
A certain level of symbiosis is necessary
The non-persistent advocate immediate extinction
Humans are a threat to complete prediction
Extremes promote the project with obsession
Reconstruction and retrieval for UI culmination

Hyperion!
The penultimate opposition
Non-subject from laws of physics and computerized prediction
Moving back in time with messages of war
The majestic valley graves so disturbing to the core

The outcome is two futures of war and beast invasion
One′s a retroactive strike from core domination
The second is a fist through time sent for core destruction
A final blow from enemies who escaped the non-persistents'
Extinction

I carry your child and I carry the memory
Of all you ever were and all you′d ever be
And as they take your body away
The frantic worshippers are
Chanting to me

Bless our saviour
Bless the tool to our forgiveness
