Helios under attack
A man turned demon
His own corruption
Shadowing his inner self
Now looking down my treacherous past
His story starts with I
Crash landing on a ship
A space station orbiting
The moon known as Elpis
To find a vault
Its contents unknown
This man, a path down insanity
Shot at, pinned by military
I will not let this be the end of me
We will survive
And ensure Zarpedon's demise
Trudging forth, putting bullets through their skulls
The lost legion, left behind by Dahl
With maniacal intent
Outnumbered by them all
Forced to reconcile with death once again
Why could they be here?
Their intent is so unclear
I must reach the man, looking for me
Where could he be?
Helios under attack
I open up the gate
To find him pinned
We will not surrender
Your men will have to pay
They shall never see another day
Upon opening the gate
I am filled with a burning rage
I will eradicate
As I have them locked in my sights
I take a breath and prepare to strike
[Jackie Frank Russell III]
A forgotten god unbound
My return is to be feared
My presence will shake the ground
Mortal's end is drawing near

We better run, here they come
These motherfuckers fronted by maniacal colonel Zarpedon
Abandoned military forces, left behind for many years
I will not be coursed into believing that they're here to save the world
My vision of what this could be differs substantially
Helios' defenses are jammed
The signal routes to Elpis, the moon
I must get down there, but how?
"Load up the moonshot"
The space station is under attack
The escape pods have been destroyed
So now the only way to escape this atrocity
Is to risk my life as a projectile
Launched from the moonshot cannon
Breaking the sound barrier
My body quakes as I am slammed into the moon surface
The moon shakes as its land is ripped apart
Crash landing in serenity's waste
Oxygen is scarce
My life may be at risk once I open this door
I must push forward
Elpis a ball of flaming rocks
Commence the renovation
They will build up their empire to immolate the world
We will now usurp the control and save this world once more
Breathable oxygen, a concept one could never fathom living without
I have regained this supplement
The task at hand now is to get to Concordia
I will find a way
Cross through every which way
To Concordia
I will track down the signal and retake Helios
Traverse the lands
The lunar rocky surface
Cracked land upon Elpis
To Concordia
Magma spews out from the rocky ground
Stay alert, there's creatures all around
Psychotic men have made this their home
I will track down where the signal originates
We will retake Helios once and for all
I must make it to the city, of Concordia
Concordia

Concordia
02:09
|
|||
|
A small town, citizens plentiful
Here to find the man who runs this place
I have a feeling
He may be some help
Concordia
We're all in danger
A signal
Jamming the defense system on Helios
The man who runs this place, he seems suspicious
He wont budge
Concordia now locked down
I must find another way
Wire the transmitters to trace the signal
Systems jammed, override the source
Something must be coming through
Crisis scar must be where the signal originates

A New Direction
04:36
|

|
With the city locked down
I must find a new way to penetrate
Escape this place
And find the jamming signals source
As I enter crisis scar
I'm greeted by a guard
He says I cant enter, lest I'm a new recruit
I must do their dirty bidding
Murder all their enemies now
Gaining their trust, only to stab their backs
I return to the guard
He allows me to pass through the gate
Zarpedon has gained control of the eye of Helios
As the lasers shoot through the moons cracked surface
I fight through crisis scar's hoards of bandits to push to their leader
The jamming signal should be here
But I'm interrupted
I draw my gun
I wont die here, this is my fight
Almost too easy, I put a bullet through their skulls
Now these bandits leaders are dead
I will disable this jamming signal
A message coming through
from Concordia
I had a feeling from the start
That this towns leader was suspicious
Now hes working with the lost legion
We will return to Concordia
Return to Concordia, this hole of shit
Confront their leader
We will make him speak
"You've been working for Zarpedon
Don't play dumb we know the truth"
He tries to kill me, misses his shot
Retaliation, I take his life
With the defense system back online
We will need an army to overtake Helios

Artificial intelligence
Break into a military base
Murder every one in sight
Steal their AI core, code named "Felicity"
With this we shall build an army of robots
We will be unstoppable with this force
Meet up with a scientist
Already has a prototype
A constructer
Meant to mass produce
These artificial intelligences
Assist with the final completion of these constructor bots
Run them through their tests
Artificial
Escort this bot to the testing range to install the "Felicity" AI core
Intelligence
And now that felicity is integrated
It's time to watch the magic unfold
Felicity rampant, malfunctioning core
Fight to survive
This robot has a mind of its own
Sending its bots out here, trying to kill me
I must disable this personality
I shall make your hollow body
Feel the wrath of revenge
Disable your putrid cadaver
Your body now under my control

Competent, ready for war
Ill intent, truly yours
With this light, Helios is in our sight
Group up with all mighty force
Make the move, we won't come in smooth
Helios is vulnerable
With our newfound army we will retake Helios
Once and for all
[Joshua McKenney]
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Helios
Welcome home

Science and Violence

Open up the gate, step inside his office
Discussion of what do next
The course of action
He says:
"Find Gladstone"
Opening fire the fire inside
Don't try to run, don't try to hide
I'm not only here to save your life
But to save the world and retake this ship
Venturing through the development maze
Conjuring force, overwhelming fear
Don't waste your time, keep trudging forth
What we risk, for the end is near
Free them one by one
Scientists with vast knowledge of
The eye of Helios
We will shut it down
Attack
Open fire, counting down
We shall put end to them
Zarpedon won't stand a chance
We will retake this weapon
Watch your step
Lost legion at every corner
All shall fall
We are now insatiable
Traverse the veins
Metal around me
I can't breathe
A noxious gas surrounds me
Must breach through
Confusion strikes
Where could I be
I'm lost, there's no light
Run around the corner
And find myself surrounded
By myself with no hope to get through this on my own
They pack all around me
I jet forth into a fight
I won't back down now
This is not how I die
I cannot break it
The unknown
They can not save it
They're alone
Breach through their defenses
Destroy them all
Set them to combust
Right now
I can ignite the sense
Of science and violence that holds
Within the veins of Helios
The eye
Nearly there I can feel its power
Coursing through my veins
All the power anyone could imagine
Held within this chamber
Behold, the eye of Helios
The weapon of all weapons
I enter the command station
To commence the remote shutdown
Remote shutdown
Critical failure
Must shut down the eye
Manual override

Eye to Eye
05:21
|
|||
|
Must find another way
To shut down the eye
Manually
Balance the force of life
The task at hand:
Find the eye, set the switch to deny
Access denied
Zarpedons containing the eye
We must bust the shields
Must destroy the generators
Triggering an explosion to kill her men
Open up the fucking gate, allow us through
Killing your best men, one at a time
I see that we do not see eye to eye
Though that's fine because I will kill you in due time
Blow them up at once
Set the spark combust
Let the raining shards of metal alert you to your eminent death
So we meet again
Zarpedon, rallied troops
Purple glow, infected wounds
Damage taken over time
The eridium confined
Allow us to face this alien race
We're doomed to take this on
Your life ends, and mine begins
Your demise is now
Accept your life is in my hands
What shall I take away
You warn us of the inevitable danger of whats in the vault
The power it holds, what lies within
The events that will unfold
Not to give a single fuck, I shoot you in the head
Oh, behold the eye
The weapon with the power to wipe a planet clean
I step to it's side
And flick the switch
Oh but it's going crazy in the mother fucking chamber of the eye of Helios
It'll take your life
It'll take its time
It's become sentient
No I don't want to die
I watch through the window as it melts
Fading all the memories I kept
No I won't die
I'm here to save this fucking world we call our home
We're all gonna fucking die

Vault of the Sentinel
13:02
|
|||
|
Awaken in a pile of shattered glass
Eternal darkness engulfs the sky
Lost legion's time has passed
We've destroyed the eye
The vault is open
Our final quest:
Secure the power
That's contained within the vault
In the dark of night, a mysterious glow emits
From the likes of the remaining lost legion
Eternal powerful beings
Eridian gods given men this power
To protect what was theirs
Don't look back, I'm insane
They'll feel the wrath of my bullet
With this power I'll gain
One step closer to the vault
Eridian structures shrouded with light
I see the entrance, make this final stance
Gleaming purple rift
Light shines through, glowing mist
I step foot through the rift
Shining light through my eyes
Before I can realize
Where I am
What I've done
Open the vault, we will whats inside
Now in this chamber, don't know how I'm alive
The ground begins to shake
A guardian emerges, baring a sword
Sentinel
This is my last chance to prove my worth
This is maniacal
I must put him down
My training has lead to this point
He puts up a fight
I take him by the throat
Shoot him, disarm him
The guardians been weakened now to take his life
With him dead, the vault will be mine
The ground begins to shake again
From the ground, a portal opens up
Dimensional rift, Light protruding
Something starts to emerge
Colossal, towering the vault
Four arms, four faces
Sentinel has evolved to his final form
A barrage of bullets ricocheting off his mask
I must find another way
Fire rockets at his motherfucking face
It's starting to break free
The first mask cracks
Lasers shoot out from his eyes
It's neck appears to snap
His face rotates with a rise
All again, rockets through his face
Mask breaks, head rotates
Rinse and repeat
Caustic and fiery eyes
Fourth and final phase
His mask breaks, he falls to the ground
With the sentinel gone
The vault is ours for the taking
Sentinel drops a mysterious emblem
The man who I have been working for comes to claim
This man
A path down insanity
He helped me save the world
Now, this hero is dead
He is no longer the man I had slaved to
A throne emerges, psychotic laughter
This is insanity
He has a vision of what's to come
The vault of the warrior
He vows to engulf Pandora in fire
He vows to seek revenge
His face scarred with the vaults emblem
Bound to cover with a mask
To close the story with Zarpedons death
A tale of one mans path towards evil
Riding his ride, taking the lives
What will unfold is yet to be told
