Never To Return

**Never To Return** is a song from Pyre, composed by Darren Korb who also provides vocals for the song along with Ashley Barrett. The song appears on soundtrack as no. 33 and it plays in-game during Liberation Rites. First two verses of the lyrics and the arrangement vary based on Triumvirate opposing The Nightwings. The arrangement usually features elements of the opposing team's theme song, with those elements more prominent if opponent's pyre is stronger than player's.

### Lyrics (Soundtrack version)

By the Scribes, we gather in their names

To face the Nightwings here before the flames

A common foe for all to prove their claim

Prevail for freedom or to fail in shame

Who shall rise again?

The will to overcome shall urge us on

To brave injustice 'til the stars have gone

The favor of the Scribes arrives at dawn

Who shall rise again?

Who lights the way for the aimless?

Favor is for the true Scribe-blessed

Exalted by the flame's ascent

Only the purest heart repents

Repent !

Stars above, below the pyres burn

Who shall remain, whose freedom shall be earned?

To fly this prison never to return

Never to return

### Lyrics (The Accusers version)

By the Scribes, we gather in their names

The bold Accusers steadfast in their aims

Those loyal few who serve Golathanian's claim

Seek absolution in the pyre's flame

Who shall rise again?

The hand of gold brings justice to this place

To find redemption in the solemn race

To bear the burden of Golathanian's grace

Who shall rise again? ... (etc.)

### Lyrics (The Fate version)

By the Scribes, we gather in their names

For Many-Mane, the Fate defend his claim

Jomuer the Fearless One cannot be tamed

His faithful three will honor to the flame

Who shall rise again?

With discipline the order of domain

Preserve the glory of the Alpha's reign

Their perseverance shall not be in vain.

Who shall rise again? ... (etc.)

### Lyrics (The Dissidents version)

By the Scribes, we gather in their names

The Dissidents stand firm against the flame

Conviction binds them in their common play

Once disparate, with robes they are the same

Who shall rise again?

Ha'ub who harbors those who've gone astray

The Cursed One who guides them on their way

Shall see them hold before the light of day

Who shall rise again? ... (etc.)

### Lyrics (The Withdrawn version)

By the Scribes, we gather in their names

Milithe the Molten sets her pyre aflame

Her fearsome three seek knowledge for their pain

The Withdrawn shall find the truth or leave in shame

Who shall rise again?

The wild witch uncovers all concealed

Her devotees in struggle never yield

Till all forbidden knowledge be revealed

Who shall rise again? ... (etc.)

### Lyrics (The Pyrehearts version)

By the Scribes, we gather in their names

The Pyrehearts find courage in the flame

The passion of the Sea-Dominion's aim

To bring unto the Underking his claim

Who shall rise again?

Beneath the blue old Ores plots his stand

His mighty deeds are known across the land

He shall not rest till victory's at hand

Who shall rise again? ... (etc.)

### Lyrics (The Essence version)

By the Scribes, we gather in their names

The Blessed-Born Triesta lays her claim

For her grace the Essence fan the flames

And liberty shall be their only aim

Who shall rise again?

These pious three shall wear no earthly shames

The virtue of their matriarch remains

To free them from this unforgiving flame

Who shall rise again? ... (etc.)

### Lyrics (The Chastity version)

By the Scribes, we gather in their names

Lu Sclorian the Hundred Minds shall claim

The Chastity in faith uphold his aim

His humble three seek wisdom in the flame

Who shall rise again?

The verses of the law have laid it plain

For Sclorian no question there remains

The virtuous shall victory attain

Who shall rise again? ... (etc.)

### Lyrics (The Tempers version)

By the Scribes, we gather in their names

For Soliam Murr, the Tempers lay his claim

The horned king, repentant in his aim

To show his flock the mercy of the flame

Who shall rise again?

The virtue that the Tempers must attain

The strong and gentle shall be both in twain

And snuff the pyre like a summer rain

Who shall rise again? ... (etc.)
