The Fall of the Galactic Guard Lyrics


Story:

As mankind ventured out of the milky way galaxy and into worlds beyond, an army was created to patrol the stars.  At first motivated by the quest for justice in an ever-expanding realm, the Galactic Guard united every planet, every galaxy in the knowledge that someone would protect them when trouble came.  Yet as time moved on and the violence became amplified by the vastness of space, the guard became swayed by money and power... As soldiers abused their authority and citizens grew to fear rather than respect, the corruption of the guard was soon complete.  Little more than mercenaries for hire, the Galactic Guard lost it's way.  Although they were the largest army known to man, they moved only when it was in their best interest, or when money was on the table.  The fall of the galactic guard was long and hard, and affected every human being

Hail undefeated protectors, soldiers unfailing in all

Guiding image of perfection, such a long distance to fall, and they fall

Blazing polished armour is fading (Fading away)

Glory turned to spoiled reputation (Spoiled, tarnished)

Butchers, like voracious creatures sweeping the land

Corrupted by the thirst to overcome all

Long ago they protected us all

Now that's gone, just a world full of murderers

Fear, pain, rage, sheer embodiment

Slight, shame, fail, such a disrespect

Kill, hate, maim, see this cowardice on display

We used to welcome their arrival

They served a justice that no other could provide

Now with the days of truth behind them

What have they done, what have they stood for?

Hush…they approach.

No sound, at night, They come in numbers

Be you small child, Or worthy foe, they care not

They have not come here to save us, run

Take the chance and run

Treacherous perpetrators, cons

Detestable cons

Overlooked and betrayed our trust

Betrayed our trust

Terrorize in the name of force

In the name of force

Demons in disguise, deceivers

Masked as messiahs, misleaders

Corporeal curse, cozeners

Bound and bent upon believers

So low…

Doomed and firm on believing a truth

That never was

That never will be

Watch them gather in their masses to march

On against the forces of the dark

Yet, we know not what we hope for or thought

Is the man an evil or a god?
