Chapter 3 - The Outlands

Ido escapes with his brother Frater (or 'Fray' for short) to The Outlands, vast wastelands ravaged by the Mind Wars and inhabited by all manner of inhuman mutated creatures.

lyrics

THE OUTLANDS

In the Outlands
All alone
Desolation
Mind is blown
Those before
Move no more
Flesh and bone
Cold as stone

Moving outwards
From the only place we know
Into the embers
Of a dying glow

Two lost beings
In this wilderness of hate
Leaving justice
To the hands of fate

Leaving those we love
To a chilling, bitter end
An evil torture
That they can't defend

As we look back
There seems to be no hope
Descending downwards
On a fiery slope

---

The sky is crackling with
A deadly afterglow
With no protection
Then that death's not slow

I gaze around me
But there is no hint of life
The shattered remnants of
a former strife

The painful memory
Leaves a sharp and vengeful sting
A closing door on what
The future brings

A heart of hatred
Won't bring them back to life
A soul cut open
With an icy knife

---

The memories fade away
A sad reminder of a distant day
The memories fade away
They fade away
Fade away
Fade away

---

In the distance
A shimmering light
Does it give us hope?

---

Looking backwards
To that place that once was home
My Father
Still inside the danger zone

A living nightmare
Where little love is shown
A former dynasty
Now overthrown

The scattered pages
Of a book so burnt and torn
No ray of hope
No words alert or warn

The cries and anguish
Of families torn apart
Must steel my soul
And listen to my heart.

Flesh and bone
Cold as stone
Just flesh and bone
