The Dawn Is Rising

[Valerian`VONDORTON]

I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

In 2012, the world ended like predicted, however, different from what was foretold. All seven continents where knew shifted, and once again formed back together. Those that survived through all the tragedy now call this massive super-continent Lornya. However, humans (or mortals as they are called now) soon found out they were not alone in the world. Among those that survived was a group called 'immortals', or shapeshifters. They were much different from the common folk of the norm.

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow

Some of these immortals have never taken kindly to living among the mortal world hidden. And once they were able to show their true form, they decided to ban together and act out against the enemy race. One man, Dominic, began a war between mortals and immortals. However, this war for race domination sparked another war between the immortals. Those that did not want to conquer the world, and those who did. Lornya was soon torn into four separate areas - north, south, east and west.

And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide
In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

Now the year is 2020, and both wars continue to be fought each day. No one can determine which side is winning over the other, but more than anyone's share of bloodshed soils the ground everywhere. So the questions are... Which side do you belong to? Good, evil or to the mortals? Will either war finally come to an end? When evil reign over good? And will mortals and immortals finally be able to live among each other again in harmony? The choice is yours; a mysterious destiny you hold. The dawn is rising...

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide
