Prologue Lyrics

We saw it happen

We watched it through the glares in each other's eyes

Glares so blinding no cries were heard, no words were said, and no breaths were taken

This moment burned itself into a generation of memories, and a lifetime of sleepless Nights

Within this moment, an entire nation divided itself, and in unison, an entire nation was Brought to it's knees

After the scorched sky settled into a permanent dusk, a blanket of ash cloaked the Landscape

With the irony of a silent, falling snow

The city became a maze of ruins, and a refuge for the lost

The countryside was bled dry, and is now a barren battlefield

Food and water become scarce, and are rationed among the common, while the elite reign over their creation

Fear is instilled, and a police state commissioned

Many have been lost, and more will be lost by the threat of the ensuing war

This was all her doing, her plan, her masterpiece

Her words weigh heavy on the hearts of her loyal, and haunt the dreams of her enemies

Veronica... our beacon of hope, our legacy of victory, the once-beating heart of our nation

A heart that has now turned on it's host

Veronica Angelica... the name of betrayal, the tears of our mothers

The cries of our nation, the scent of a mass burial

All sealed with a kiss

A wave of sorrow drowns our pride, and washes away our history

This is our darkest hour

This is the end of freedom

And these are the last days of empire
