about

Fourth reading – Twilight of Hopes
The card "the Tower" is drawn.
A reading of Metroid Prime.
Evil must be destroyed But first, it must be found.
Cut off the head of the snake, and the body will die.
But how do we find the head, the source of a problem, when that problem is a slow and long process whereby greed, envy, and ambition steadily grow out of control? The meteor bearing the Phazon may have hit the Chozo’s homeworld of Tallon IV, but it is the Space Pirates’ greed and folly that made it a threat to the galaxy. Incapable of sensing and detecting the dangers, the Chozo lost themselves in conjectures of past, present and possible futures, all equal to their mystic perception, slowly driving them into madness through the anticipated catastrophe.

lyrics

(Inspired by Metroid Prime)

(The Chozo:)
Burning skies cloud the great old WILD
Visions of past and future merging in our minds
The Invaders walk among us
but the LIFEGIVER speaks to us
(Impossible!)
Most of us have been Turned already,
our SPIRIT’s lost to insanity
(And madness will claim us all)

A Doomsday Comet, the Great Devourer,
The Worm that grows inside our home WORLD
annihilates all, it poisons us all,
Our hearts and minds corrupted beyond hope

(Space Pirates:)
A doomsday comet of greatest power
That we can claim as our own weapon for
domination and subjugation of all life in
Galactic Federation

(The Chozo:)
High above in the dead of space
A frigate’s trying to escape
And the Hunter picks up a distress call
She boards the craft then tails it as it falls
(Back on our home world)
She’ll break the path of shadows with the light of the SUN

Could it be the old prophecy?
With ancient lore and technology
She’s upholding our creed,
Where the invaders’ greed dug too deep

(Space Pirates:)
Deep within the planet’s core
We set things up to mine an ore
Of unknown strength
To bolster our ranks
It should have brought us a new age
Of ever-expanding pirate space
But it consumed us
It feeds on us

(The Chozo:)
Through the ruins of our home
The NEWBORN will find her way
She’s a force of NATURE grown full
From the seeds we lay
Layered lies can’t hide the TRUTH forever
She owns the STRENGTH to hunt
The Great Devourer

Out beyond the sea of stars
Their fleets are ripping worlds apart
And the echoes draw near
Or are they just the ripples of our fears?

Deep within the planet’s core
The Shadow grows forevermore
As the parasite
Feeds on our lost paradise
We are lost, we won’t survive
The poison’s seeping through our minds
There’s no escape

Through the folds of space and time
We walk the horizon of our minds
In the twilight, all fades to dusk, and we are
Gazing at our doom
In the blackened streams of the Womb
We pray for the light to come,
The Great Defender

(Spirit, Lifegiver, Wild, Truth, Nature, Sun, World, Strength, Newborn, Elder, Warrior, Chozo…)

(Omega Pirate:)
You shattered my cage, at last I’m awake,
A God of Pirate science and Phazon
Brought to perfection through countless mutations
I’ll bring ruin to the cursed Federation
I am the Omega
And I am the Alpha
My coming marks the dawn of a new era

(Space Pirates:)
Though we try we cannot fight,
we cannot run, we cannot hide
From the Hunter’s wrath, we’re caved in like rats
Our WARRIORs fall down one by one,
to the CHOZO, the Hunter, or the Phazon
We are overwhelmed
This is the end

(The Chozo:)
Through the Hall of our ELDER
Still our voice can be heard
We sing the song from our age
That’s long since past
As crumbling temples fall
We scribe the seers’ words on the wall
One day, the Newborn will grow
Into the Hunter

The Hunter
The Invaders
And the Great Devourer

For our brothers the Turned
They linger and search for the
Answers to the meaning of their
life in the void

In the shattered temple
The darkened waters will
Guide her to the poisoned womb that
houses the Worm
that feeds on us
(that feeds on all)

(Impossible!)
(And madness will claim us all)
