Triumph in the Stink

In the midst of destruction we learn of the ancient prophecy naming a descendant of the original Tube and of the founders of Tubism, the Flowborn, who is destined to reunite the Tube and heal the Schism. The Flowborn is foretold to restore the cycle after the Great Flush, a mysterious cataclysm in the future.  It’s not the arrival of the Flowborn — it’s the world hearing the promise. 

Lyrics:
"[Intro]
Hear this prophecy, long kept hidden,
Of broken faith and battles forbidden.
The world is torn, the Tube divided,
But a new flow comes, long awaited.

[Verse 1]
The Maw devours, deep underground,
Their followers kneel, their faith profound.
The Temple purges, cleansing each soul,
Their rituals strict, their only goal.
Chaos struck from shadowed halls,
The Knights of Emesis broke the walls.
They screamed, they ran, they burned, they fought,
A warning born of all they sought.

[Pre-Chorus]
Listen close, the voices call,
Through pipes and stones, through cracks in all.
From the first Tube, a child will rise,
A Flowborn comes to unify.

[Chorus]
This is the prophecy, clear and true:
When faith is shattered, when hope is few,
The Flowborn will come, a child of Tube,
To heal the world and guide its groove.

[Verse 2]
The Maw and Temple still fight and stand,
Their followers clash across the land.
One feeds the mouth, one frees the rest,
Both will bow with the Flowborn test.
A child of Tube, from founders born,
Will bring the light after the storm.
The blocked will open, the old ways bend,
The prophecy fulfilled in the end.

[Bridge]
“From blocked drains to open streams,
The Tube will pulse and heal our dreams.
The Flowborn rises, the world made whole,
The Flush returns, it claims its toll.”

[Final Chorus]
This is the prophecy, spoken now:
When faith is broken, when all seem lost,
The Flowborn comes, the Tube restored,
The cycles merge, the Flush endured.

[Outro]
Believe believe,
The Flowborn comes.
Believe believe,
The Flowborn comes."
