Story:

After his meeting with the General, Lacey has been hired to infiltrate the planet of Ental... An oppressed world whose mountains and valleys are rich with Winterstone; the most coveted fuel source in the known universe.  The General wants it all for himself and his enourmous armada, and it is up to Lacey and his mercenary band to gain the trust of the local rebel army.  Firmly under the thumb of the fuel corporations, the entire population has been put to work in the mines and factories, but some have decided to fight back.  Not wanting to wage all-out war and risk destroying the precious planet, the General is hoping Lacey can crush the rebels from within, and leave the planet defenseless against any military invasion.  Unfortunately for Lacey, his sense of moral responsilibily begins to clash with his job requirements, and when the General finally comes to claim the planet he does not find a crushed and hopeless society, but a well organzied military force led by the man he hired to destroy them

Demand, consume, repeat the cyclical flow

Man, stolen in the night

Ripped right from the arms of his child

Drain the workforce

Torn, forced into the dark

Working for his heart, cold and blind

More than they can bear

Pushed unto the edge of life

And then further

Pushed unto the edge of life

Expire, replace

Overhead the sun it shines no more

Skies opaque with winter's squall eternal

CHORUS:

With faces cast in stone, emerge into the light

We'll never return home, with ashes in our skies

Crushed, kicked, tortured

Quick and painless death you will not find

Slowly, surely, purged clean

Growing ancient, lost within the mine

This is our home

Imprisoned and alone, drowning in the night

We are daughters of the stone, wandering in time

CHORUS

Chained to the factory floor, smoke fills our lungs and our world

There is no escaping this well

Cold to the touch yet it burns, fuelling our whole universe

Living hell
