Fallen, broken, crawling on Wounded wasteland warrior Fallen, broken, holding on Perforated mercenary Fallen, broken, nowhere to run Can't stop Bleeding, dying Fallen, broken, by the gun Mortal thread by war untying Killing fields desiccated Stained red from ancient blood shed This is as its always been Cruel leaders forward pushing Land once rich, saturated Now barren lifeless wastelands Our remnants fighting, dying For water eviscerate them Fallen, broken, crawling on Wounded wasteland warrior Fallen, broken, holding on Perforated mercenary Fallen, broken, nowhere to run Can't stop Bleeding, dying Fallen, broken, by the gun Mortal thread by war untying Sacrificed the guiltless life Left his love and left his home Chose the path of bloody strife Now on the sands he'll die alone Left behind in a firefight His future is an arid tomb She always used to say that pride Would be his death Would be his doom War on these dunes Shelter in abandoned ruins Bullets, shrapnel, rifle fire A burning sun his funeral pyre Fallen, broken, crawling on Wounded wasteland warrior Fallen, broken, holding on Perforated mercenary Fallen, broken, nowhere to run Can't stop Bleeding, dying Fallen, broken, by the gun Mortal thread by war untying Sacrificed the guiltless life Left his love and left his home Chose the path of bloody strife Now on the sands he'll die alone Left behind in a firefight His future is an arid tomb She always used to say that pride Would be his death Would be his doom War on these dunes Shelter in abandoned ruins Bullets, shrapnel, rifle fire A burning sun his funeral pyre (Solo) War on these dunes Shelter in abandoned ruins Bullets, shrapnel, rifle fire A burning sun his funeral pyre His hideout infiltrated Scavengers, mercenaries A discarded blade he lifts Ancient, decayed, and rusting This last stand here he will make A hopeless futile gesture In these last fleeting moments Forget home, forget her
2.	Exiles 04:55	lyrics	buy track
Lost in space, in time A roaming legion Sent on our own, spend our lives In exiled nightmare This was our time An expanse through outer reaches But what is here left for us Now we are Trapped in blackness Impending madness Caught in the black Death in the night Waiting to die Waste in the void Adrift, through space, out of time Starvation closing in It's the end, of our line Barely staying alive What is that up ahead? Glitch in the radar? No. Drawing near, strange object Blocking the stars In blackness Impending madness Caught in the black Death in the night Waiting to die Waste in the void They've spotted us Alien forces Painting us red Targeting, powering Scramble forces Get our shields up Load artillery Hope for the best No rescue Out beyond the rings On our own now Humans struggling Launch railguns Wait, watch and pray What happens now Have we won the day Alive, somehow Triumph in vacuum Should we go home? Do we bear witness or go on? Exiles Fly on, fight on Face whatever comes Exiles Fly on, fight on Face whatever comes Exiles Fly on, fight on Face whatever comes Exiles Fly on, fight on Face whatever Survive, in space, through time A frontier legion Sent on our own, spend our lives Bent to explore It's our time, an expanse Through outer reaches Now, we will find, what waits for us New worlds or War in blackness Give in to madness War in the black Life in the void To kill or die Now its our time Now it's our time

Dusk brings nightmares into our lives Night sends demons from abyss of nigh Darkness, demons rise from the core We hide to survive Wards keep us safe in the night Wards leave us trapped But we need to fight! No more cowering from the night To the core, wards will decide Etch the wards into my skin Leave behind the man I was Buried in the dust Learn these runes and fight the core Cower no more Now bite back Kaji's spear retaken The outsider forsaken A weapon for the desert king These tools to conquer the north A Krasian invasion Armies with magic strengthened Beginning of the daylight war Beware The Core Dusk brings nightmares into our lives Night sends demons from abyss of nigh Darkness, demons rise from the core We hide to survive Wards keep us safe in the night Wards leave us trapped but we need to fight No more cowering from the night To the core, wards will decide Etch the wards into my skin Leave behind the man I was Buried in the dust Learn these runes and fight the core Cower no more Now bite back Kaji's spear retaken The outsider forsaken A weapon for the desert king These tools to conquer the north A Krasian invasion Armies with magic strengthened Beginning of the daylight war Beware The Core Night sends monsters up from the core Mind demons know how to use the wards They fear deliverers of ancient lore In the night, Arlen's magic roars Wards kept us safe in the night Wards sheltered us now we need to fight With demon magic we'll make it right In the core, courage must decide Etch the wards into my skin Leave behind the man I was Buried in the dust Learn these runes and fight the core Cower no more Now bite back Kaji's spear retaken The outsider forsaken A weapon for the desert king These tools to conquer the north A Krasian invasion Armies with magic strengthened Beginning of the daylight war Beware The Beware The Core

Dying land under black ash Lord Ruler subdues the Skaa Eyeless Inquisitors of Steel Their iron laws we must abide Black snow from the ashmounts White mists shroud our world at night Secrets hidden in time Fight, make them bleed The steel ministry We'll steal the atium Through its power we'll hold the Future in our hands Survivors we will stand Mist, our cloak our friend This empire must end Young soul with power born Allomantic blood in her veins Vin joins the fight, she's Mistborn Under Kelsier's scarred hands she trains Steel, iron, pewter, tin Burn inside her She feels the change Once weak, victim no more Thieves, outlaws, friends A plan's formed for them To steal the atium To take the throne, and to Win freedom never known Create a new home Defeat the Lord Ruler Against all odds, win or die Death's in the air Hide in our lairs We watch the Skaa die His blade claims their lives Death's in the air Hide in our lairs We watch the Skaa die His blade claims their lives Innocents die to prove his might A punishment, reminder of our plight Our leader, the survivor is dead All our plans, our hearts sink but What will become of us? Kredik Shaw, iron fortress His stronghold Vin infiltrates Vengeful young mistborn For Kelsier she burns with rage Chamber vast, Lord Ruler's home For a thousand years She challenges this piece of God Fights through her tears He betrayed his creed He Did not release The power not his own For mortal he is shown when Vin Rips the metal free At her mercy he bleeds Lord Ruler's final words You know not what you've unleashed

Heaven and Hell, war rages on Balance and Law, protected by the council charred The seventh seal now broken, chaos reborn Hellguard legions storm the earth to fight Would you rule or serve?

Destroyer's final words Reap what you have sown Feel the wrath of War

Barren purgatory Plagued with tyranny Souls judged for their crimes To be purified The old king overthrown His tomb cast in ice and stone Frostbane summoned forth Embodied by His will Lord of Bones Rules the throne His dead lords fled Across the Kingdom of the Dead The place where souls must head As they make their way to the City of the Dead The Gilded Arena A challenge laid to see the Dead King on his throne To find the Well of Souls Achidna's hidden lair Trials filled with despair The Dead Court reunites And is killed out of spite Across the plains Eternal pain Souls unrest In the Kingdom of the Dead The place where souls must head As they make their way To the City of the Dead A city submerged with souls Home of the Wailing Host They purged their former lives No one survives The Well's key split long ago One half held by the Archon The other by Samael A lord of Hell The Well of Souls Life reborn Dead forms cleansed In the Kingdom of the Dead The place where souls must head As they make their way To the City of the Dead

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and I cried You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away I'll always love you and make you happy If you will only say the same But if you leave me to love another You'll regret it all some day You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You told me once, dear, you really loved me And no one else could come between But now you've left me and love another You have shattered all my dreams You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
