Under cover of night, the Outlaw descended. The work camp was hidden in a valley between two mountains on the border of the kingdom, and the Hero of Shadow easily found places to disappear, out of the sight of the ever-watchful eyes of the machines standing guard.
One by one, row by row, he awoke his fellow men and women, unshackling their wrists and ankles after years of servitude. Not knowing what was amiss, the newly and yet to be freed began to wonder aloud, frightened, amongst themselves. Before the Outlaw could silence them, he heard the clash of metal against stone and swiftly turned.
There before him stood three armed machines, weapons drawn, prepared to fight.
The Outlaw unsheathed his daggers and simply smiled.
You don't frighten me
This is my destiny
Your choice -- Stand down or die
I see you're feelin' brave
So soon you'll feel my blade
You see, I got fate on my side
So one by one you're gonna fall
You met your match, I am unstoppable
I promise you won't live to see the sun
The darkness rages and it's clear
Though I can't see it, I can feel your fear
I love a good fight, so please forgive me
I don't have time so I'll end you quickly
We want, we want revenge
Come on, we don't have long
The work has kept you strong
I'll grant you all my power for the night
Armor and swords of black
Let's take our kingdom back
Together into battle we will ride
And so by dawn they're gonna fall
They met their match, we are unstoppable
Tonight belongs to all of humankind
Where men are made and martyrs lost
Though you may die, you will die for your cause
Our battle cry will send them reeling
Let's let 'em hear us, shout it with me
It's haunting, dark, moody prog rock that alternately makes you want to plan the demise of the human race, bust out the whiskey and party, and go kick someone's ass. Also Mystakin is a great guitarist Single White Infidel
