Assailant
Rising from Ashes: Iron Savior's Battlecry Against Oppression
Lyrics
Right out of nowhere you came
Unexpectedly, a threat emerged.
Ghostlike appeared in the sky
The threat appeared mysteriously in the sky.
But all our welcomes were shot down in flames
Despite our friendly reception, it was met with hostility.
Superior power - invincible arms
Possessing overwhelming power and unbeatable weaponry.
A faulty assessment, a fatal misjudgement
An incorrect evaluation, a deadly misjudgment.
But why you won't percieve
Questioning why the threat refuses to understand.
You won't percieve
Emphasizing the lack of perception.
Obedience you claim devotion you ask
Claiming obedience but only asking for devotion.
Oppression is all that you give
Imposing oppression, offering nothing else.
Preserving the law the law of the lost
Maintaining a law that leads to the demise of the lost.
Defining the way that we live
Defining the way of life dictated by the oppressor.
Assailant - lash of the world
Describing the threat as the assailant, the scourge of the world.
Ruling a throne - of ashes and dirt
Ruling from a position of destruction and decay.
We will arise like a Phoenix
Promising a resurgence, likened to the mythical Phoenix.
Again and again - forever we'll be
Declaring an eternal struggle against the oppressor.
Enslave us and chain us
Being enslaved and restrained temporarily.
But then you will see
Assuring that the true spirit will eventually break free.
In the end the spirit is free
Asserting freedom prevailing in the end.
We never did you no harm
Claiming innocence, stating no harm was intended.
In peace we have lived united and free
Highlighting a peaceful existence that has been disrupted.
You have turned our world into debris
Accusing the assailant of turning their world into ruins.
A heep of debris
Describing the aftermath as a heap of debris.
It seems we're defenceless in anguish we suffer
Suggesting vulnerability and suffering in the face of the threat.
The raider that came from the stars
Identifying the intruder as a raider from the stars.
But we won't surrender with fury we'll strike
Expressing determination not to surrender but to fight back with fury.
'cause this is the war of the wars
Labeling the conflict as the ultimate war.
Assailant - lash of the world...
Reiterating the assailant's role as the lash of the world.
