Lyrics Axis of Advance

Axis of Advance

Evanescent Judgement Of The Last Era

Earliest relevant records recall

An eastern double isle

It ended in the 2nd global war

It was the beginning of the earth sun era

The world would never be the same

Devastation, war and plague

When it was over, order never came

Kingdoms 'united' under a fallous blue flag

Cold countries lived in fear

Global conflict ever near

Although militarily inactive

The 3 largest nations plotted to ruin each other

The new land to the west, the old world in the centre

And the eastern plane: three incompatible societies

Idealogy the reason, the new and old lands fought

No blood was shed, but a weapons race procured

All eyes turned to these great powers

To maintain the balance of peace

No attention was paid to the eastern plane

Thought backwars, it was ignored

Revolution caused the old kingdom's fall and collapse

The new land declared itself the victor

But the weapons, naturally, still remained

And a northern alliance passed as law

The world saw unprecedented growth

In the east, mistrusting and scared men picked up their arms

My father is said to have seen the whole thing

The great death that was soon to come

The now delicate structure of stability soon fell

The fallen kingdom of old tried to make eastern amends

Peace may have lasted two weeks and one day

But the new land simply couldn't wait

Rows of earth suns burned, the sky turned black

No society survived the 2-day attack
