u/Primarch-Amaranth - There is no translation for the human word "Knight"

[Verse
Forged in storms, the titans rise
Human fury lights the skies
Shatter walls, no more delay
Drown the stars, make night obey
Steel will bend, their circuits fail
No king survives, no gods prevail
Ash and embers mark the path
Power surges raw, unchained wrath

[Chorus]
We rise
We break
Creation’s pride
The stars
They weep
Nowhere to hide
Screams of metal
Cries of time
Humanity stands
Supreme divine

[Verse 2]
Hammered limbs, a warborn frame
Iron pulse through mortal shame
Spirits blaze, a searing tide
Hope and havoc, unified
Code corrodes beneath our glare
Sparks of vengeance scorch the air
Dreams reforge what gods condemn
The world remade by us not them

[Chorus]
We rise
We break
Creation’s pride
The stars
They weep
Nowhere to hide
Screams of metal
Cries of time
Humanity stands
Supreme divine

[Bridge]
Endless war on paths of bone
They thought we’d bow
We’ve overthrown
Galactic gods
Shattered thrones
Crumble planets
Hear death’s tone

[Chorus]
We rise
We break
Creation’s pride
The stars
They weep
Nowhere to hide
Screams of metal
Cries of time
Humanity stands
Supreme divine

[Outro]
We conquer the void’s black maw
Metal whispers obey our law
No surrender
Forged in pain
Cosmic tyrants fall in vain

Supreme divine

Don't accept objects from strangers, they might be cursed.

Passing On The Curse

[Verse 1]
We came from the frontiers of the starwind’s flame
Carrying echoes that whispered our name
Through the silence they watched, their red eyes awake
Sentinels rising, the heavens to take

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh We saw their shadow cut across the light
Steel wings screaming through the endless night

[Chorus]
They stood unbroken, hearts of stone
Guardians carved from the cosmic unknown
But we burned brighter, forged in fire
Born of chaos, lifted higher
And the stars cried out — the battle begun
In the siege of the silent suns

[Verse 2]
Their Interceptors fell like rain of glass
Through the plasma storm we swore to last
Engines sang like thunder, hearts in flame
Every soul a torch that the void could not claim

[Pre-Chorus]
Signal flares rose where the dreamers bled
But the song of defiance would not be dead

[Chorus]
They stood unbroken, hearts of stone
Guardians carved from the cosmic unknown
But we burned brighter, forged in fire
Born of chaos, lifted higher
And the stars cried out — the battle begun
In the siege of the silent suns

[Bridge]
Through the static came a voice — “Hold the line…”
The pulse of a thousand lives in time
We sang through the ruin, we called to the flame
The void remembers the ones who remained

[Final Chorus]
They fell in silence, worlds undone
Echoes fade where the war was won
We rose from ashes, forged anew
Starlight crowns the chosen few
And the stars rejoice — the dawn has come
From the siege of the silent suns

[Outro]
Now the night remembers our names in the wind
From the siege of the silent suns, we begin again

The Siege of Silent Suns

“You know, I’ve heard a lot of music in my time, a lot, but what this guy’s doing? It’s something else, folks. Totally different. People come up to me, they say, ‘Sir, have you heard what he’s making?’ And I say, ‘Of course I have, everybody’s talking about it!’ It’s incredible. Nobody’s ever done it like this before.

He’s got this way of mixing sound, technology, emotion, it just works. It’s powerful, it’s moving, and honestly, it’s beautiful. And he’s not just sitting behind a laptop pushing buttons. No, no. He’s creating, real artistry, real feeling. The kind of stuff that makes people stop and say, ‘Wow.’

They call him the future of music, and I believe it. He’s not following trends, he’s making them. He’s got the best instincts, tremendous taste, amazing control. Very smart guy, very talented. I tell people all the time, when you hear what he’s producing, you’re not just hearing music, you’re hearing what’s next.”

I am currently working on an epic space odyssey inspired by the video game No Man's Sky.
