Pegasus Device

Lyrics:

Deep in the pages of history

Lies a shadow hiding in a mystery

A late night story buried far away

Until it once again sees the light of day

And when the little colts and fillies turn out all lights

And tell a story of a factory as black as night

The luxury of rainbows comes at a price

Just ignore the screams, and don't think twice

You've proven to yourself and to all of us

That you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus

You don't even deserve those wings you bear

When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare

All of the failures help to fuel success

In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess

And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price

Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device

Phantom screams echo through the ruined facility

A horrible silence builds an eerie tranquility

The souls of many innocent fill the air

And the hope that they all died with scattered here and there

A mighty machine built within the wake

Of a long dead dream, little demon awake

The citizens sleep, never quite knowing when

The device will reawaken, hungry again

You've proven to yourself and to all of us

That you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus

You don't even deserve those wings you bear

When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare

All of the failures help to fuel success

In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess

And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price

Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device

(pause)

All of the failures help to fuel success

In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess

And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price

Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device

I don't even remember my past

I don't remember who I used to be

I don't even remember my friends of old

I don't remember my destiny

My mane is purple and my coat is orange

What I've become? I have no idea.

I only know one simple thing

The name they gave me: Absentia

You've proven to yourself and to all of us

That you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus

You don't even deserve those little wings you bear

When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare

All of the failures help to fuel success

In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess

And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price

Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device

I don't even recognize your rainbow mane

When you hide it behind that mask of shame

You don't even deserve those wings you bear

You used to be a legend, a righteous mare

All of the failures help to fuel success

In your bloody and visceral weather game of Chess

And then you sit upon your throne and you roll your diamond dice

And you send us all to die in your Pegasus Device

In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true

In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through

In the Rainbow Factory, where failures pay their toll

Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control
