in times like these we aint afraid to fight in this core of darkness we are the light cant escape the sight despite this daze ill meet your might with endless flames best heed these words im speaking, and best fear this heated beating cause those trained with such high skill were also raised on glass and steel its rap attack, its hacking tacts its flak avoidance, its striking back your mask is wack and you have our stratagies memorized? we've planned for that this rhyming mode is too the max and your ratio is falling fast this cybortronic tragic act is calculating how youll last, you wont this battles ours... this broken pact is good as gone And if dust to dust is ash to ash Then your strengths as good as ours Cause its times of world on war that Has spawned this brand new song then Man v mask, and world v heathens Dealings dealt and contracts reeling It's gas and soil, its blood and oil The people toil, While the province boils Whose fault is that, the juggernaut? Hell no, we all blame the mask Who is tasked to blast with weapons past You know the rules, you chose to flask em You're just a fool, what more would we ask for not much I'm from a land of gas and slaughter I'm from the deepest depths of water Is destiny so goddamned mean Your souls in jar, mines in machine And what darkend tendrils grip around us These broken hearts and tattered fountains These crying minds, and tearing folds You'll shatter what you cant control This hopelessness our final chance I will not ask the Gods to match us to dust to rust, we're ash to clash the crystal dreams, they break at last I'm lost in dark, I dare not start to walk the deepest depths of heart These metal parts, make up no art My skin is cold, void is colder (so i ask) Why so paranoid when you act like you can't see me Hand shakes from either or But lesser is how they treat me I'm breaking out, exploding I'm crushing bones, imploding Spit strictless heat thats so divine So hot so quick, its overtime Overkill just for a doper rhyme My guns are loaded, cocked and primed Rewind, hit play, and walk me through this Refill the source, instead divergence This fruitless land, birthed me last my fate is clear, must stay on task but this cold consumes us at last

about

The "soundtrack" for a story inspired by mecha anime (such as Mobile Suit Gundam) and space operas: A story of revenge, royalty, and robots large and small, set against a backdrop of interstellar conflict and colonialism.

The faraway gaseous planet of Ananaki is orbited by two moons: The Ananakian Kingdom on one, the ruins of an ancient civilization on the other, and between them, artificial Earth Federation colony satellites. Although both sides had been stalemated, the activation of the Nisroch NX-2 has tipped the scales against the Colonial Militia. Now, with the Ananakian Kingdom and the Earth Federation on the brink of war, only the Sapphire Mask and the power of the Asakku NX-1 stand between war and peace, life and death, virtue and vengeance...
