lyrics

(Monologue 1)
Attention Anderson Station, This is not a drill.
Scanners detect two vessels, rapidly closing in for the kill.
To everyone capable of bearing arms, look to the defenses.
To all non-combat personnel, make for the shelters before the fighting commences.

(Verse 1)
Here come the raiders,
Our insidious neighbors.
Killers of my wife and daughter,
Bringers of despair and slaughter.
Takers of our wealth and young,
Haters of our kind and tongue.

(Pre-Chorus)
Always was the peaceful kind,
To all the hate, I stay blind.
But in the wake of an aggressor,
All that's left is hate and anger.

They drenched our homes in blood,
My loved ones lie dead in the mud.
Vengeance is my only will,
Thrill as I fight and kill.

(Chorus)
Raid, Raid Incoming.

(Monologue 2)
Attention raiding party, Approaching Anderson station,
There has been an update on the situation.
Scanners reveal defenders mustering at the entrance,
Show no mercy. Because for them, there is no repentance.
Strike terror into their hearts and down to their bones.
Avenge your families and take back your homes.

(Verse 2)
There be the invaders,
Our malicious neighbors.
Killers of my child and people,
Bringers of misery and evil.
Takers of our world and dreams,
Haters of our kind and means.

(Pre-Chorus)
Always was the peaceful kind,
To all the hate, I stay blind.
But in the wake of an aggressor,
All that's left is hate and anger.

They drenched our homes in blood,
My loved ones lie dead in the mud.
Vengeance is my only will,
Thrill as I fight and kill.

(Chorus)
Raid, Raid Commencing.

An absolutely beautiful track. It truly invokes an image of a dystopian cyberpunk world in the head of the listener, and brings its characters to life. pbjis2op4me

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear

I first heard "Fly For Your Life" in a game trailer and I've been hooked since. Songs for hard bitten optimists and joyful nihilists. 𝕎𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕣
