The Father (The Man)'s Backstory

## Froggz' Story

According to *Froggz's Unofficial Guide to the ACU,* the Father (or the Man, as referred to in the guidebook) was once a warrior fighting alongside others in the Hunter's rebellion. His daughter was everything to him, and he kept her as his top priority. He did what he could to protect her from the monsters of the Bleeding Sun, but could not continue forever. Although the Hunter's warriors did see an end to the war, the Father could not press on any farther and turned to drugs in hope of avoiding memories of the past. Knowing he has changed, the Father still yearns for his daughter. But internally, he does not want to be saved. Eventually, the Watcher takes his life, semi-canonly killing him.

## Other Fanmade Works

* EpicFroggz created a short story about the Father's demise by the Watcher.
	+ It can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/alt3ag5z7nur0g0/IDWTHY%20Froggz.pdf?dl=0

* Liv & Learn made a theory connecting four songs to the Father as well as some of the lore created by Froggz, which is written below:
	+ "*The family consisted of four members: a father, a mother, and two daughters. Sadly, one daughter was lost to cancer as described in the song "This is Not the End".

	The father was so heavily struck with grief that he was determined to keep his remaining daughter out of the hands of danger and harm. He vows to win the war against the Ascended and save his daughter, as described in "Acid Rain". However, the Ascended killed his wife while the Father was fighting in the Hunter's rebellion.

	Another death in the family was a great toll on him, leading him to drugs and delusional thoughts. The Father knew he had changed, but his daughter was still his main priority. He knew there was no saving him, why should anyone bother anyway? Hence his desire not to be saved as described in "No One Will Save You".

	His delusions lead him into becoming a second person within himself. He feared he would hurt his daughter. He wanted to see her again, but at the same time, did not, out of fear that something bad would happen, whether delivered from him or from the Ascended. But what he feared the most was himself. Hence "I Don't Want to Hurt You."

	Although the Hunter's rebellion does win the war, the Father is already too far sunk in grief to celebrate. He had no means of returning home,  anyway. Despite the victory, the Ascended had already taken away too much. Miami had transformed into nothing more than a wasteland, the Bleeding Sun. There was nothing left.

	The Watcher had been keeping an eye on his test subject for a while now. It would be a good time to put his plan into action. Approaching him, the two conversed. At last, the Watcher carried out his plan and brought the Father to his demise. It's a pity, really, what this man could have been. If only he hadn't given up hope."*

Halfwolf (song)

**Halfwolf** is the sixth, and titular, track of Aviators' fifteenth album of the same name.

This track is inspired by Blaidd, a half-man/half-wolf NPC (non-playable character) from the 2022 action role-playing video game *Elden Ring* by FromSoftware.

## Lyrics

Even if it's not forever
We've together tread this path so far
Wary of the will that made me
Still you leave your trust within my scars
Winterborn and forged strong
Searching for centuries long
Built for a dream like ours
Keep holding on for me
I'll lift you as I break
Torn to the smallest piece
Half dreaming half awake
Take my conflicted hands
My heart will light your way
Know me for what I am
Half wolf and half afraid
Striving to control my instinct
Terrified my nature won't obey
I confess the burden's heavy
Skies begin to change and soon I'll fade
Don't take the risk on me
I'll turn my tail and leave
Before I lose my way
Keep holding on for me
I'll lift you as I break
Torn to the smallest piece
Half dreaming half awake
Take my conflicted hands
My heart will light your way
Know me for what I am
Half wolf and half afraid
I can embrace the cold
But I can't change my soul
My nature still remains
So long our quiet fight
My battle ends tonight
But our bond stays the same
When the voices
Make my choices
And I can't ignore the sound
Without purpose
I deserve this but
I refuse to drag you down
I will fail you
I may hunt you
I must try to
In the end
So conflicted
I've resisted
Tried to fix it
Now I can't
None can mend
What I am
Keep holding on for me
I'll lift you as I break
Torn to the smallest piece
Half dreaming half awake
Carry on for the cause
Spread light across these shores
Remember who I was
Half wolf, forever yours
Hold on
It gets better
It's here at the end we turn it all around
Keep faith
I'm still with you
We all need a friend to watch the world die out
Storm

The original version before a redone version was released on *From All Sides*, **Storm** is the second track of Aviators' first major debut album *Reflections of a Dream*.

## Lyrics

Stuck for now

I don't know how

To get out of this alive

The rain is falling

And I hear you calling

You help me fight the war inside

And oh, I've been struggling for so long

But the winds are getting strong

And I can't pull through this alone

The thunder grows loud

And I know you can get me out

You can get me through this storm

The lightning strikes again

I can feel you pull me in

To your arms

Will you protect me, will you save me?

Will you be there for me

When I'm in the way of harm?

And oh, I've been struggling for so long

But the winds are getting strong

And I can't pull through this alone

The thunder grows loud

And I know you can get me out

You can get me through this storm

I'm not going on my own anymore

Save me from danger, from the storm

I'm so afraid of what is happening

But when I hear your voice, it's so comforting

I know you'll be my shelter in this storm

And oh, I've been struggling for so long

But the winds are getting strong

And I can't pull through this alone

The thunder grows loud

And I know you can get me out

You can get me through this storm

You can get me through this storm
Summon the Choir

**Summon the Choir** is the sixth track of Aviators' thirteenth album *Dreams of the Deep*.

This track was inspired by the 2015 action role-playing video game "Bloodborne" by FromSoftware; specifically, the moment of Master Willem's discovery of blood.

## Lyrics

Here we're frenzied by the illusion
We're dying for a transfusion
A cure to kill the virus in our midst
This city needs a savior
Healed by the church's favor
Experimental taste of moonlight's bliss
First blood
From cosmic wonders
A dark flood
Of power from under
Congregate and we begin the recovery
Praise be
The gods have fallen
Fear me
And heal the rotten
Summon the choir for we've made a discovery
Now the surgery is complete
And mortality is defeated
The needles grant the power in our veins
Brought by the holy hunters
Old ones and dreams of thunder
A sacrifice within the flames
First blood
From cosmic wonders
A dark flood
Of power from under
Congregate and we begin the recovery
Praise be
The gods have fallen
Fear me
And heal the rotten
Summon the choir for we've made a discovery
Though the treatments take their toll
I've changed the human soul
This is power beyond control
Sing for newly granted eyes
And dreams now realized
For the righteous and divine
First blood
From cosmic wonders
A dark flood
Of power from under
Congregate and we begin the recovery
Praise be
The gods have fallen
Fear me
And heal the rotten
Summon the choir for we've made a discovery
Too Late for a Savior

**Too Late for a Savior** is the fifth track of Aviators' eleventh album *Godhunter*.

## Lyrics

Never too late for changes
Never too late to move
With the barriers down
There is nothing left to prove
Then you're never too far to look back
At the vengeance or the fall
When there's nothing else left
But to take your curtain call
Give the ending just a little flavor
If you're going down, they'll break as well
'Cause it's too late for a savior
But it's never too late for hell
Never too late for madness
Never too late for death
As the towers rise
I will stand with bated breath
Now there's no one left to hurt us
And there's no one left to save
At the ending of all
It's the silence that I crave
Give the ending just a little flavor
If you're seeing ghosts they'll face the same
'Cause you're never going to be the savior
But a leader keeps the monsters sane
Lift the burdens of the weak away now
Let the many become the few
'Cause it's never too late for mercy
To let the red tides rise to you
Never too late for secrets
Never too late to hide
Build the barriers up
Let no one else inside
Heroes can't save the future
And no one can change the past
You'd need the hands of a god
Just to make this city last
Give the ending just a little flavor
If you're seeing ghosts they'll face the same
'Cause you're never going to be the savior
But a leader keeps the monsters sane
Lift the burdens of the weak away now
Let the many become the few
'Cause it's never too late for mercy
To let the red tides rise to you
Bring the fire when they call you "traitor"
If you're going down, they'll break as well
To the ones who don't deserve a savior
They've been ruined by the rebel yell
Take the suffering and plague away now
Let the madness become the truth
'Cause it's never too late for mercy
When the red tides rise to you
As power tends
Toward violent ends
I'll choose to give up nothing
'Cause it's too late to be the hero
And it's too late to see the truth
I'm exempt of absolution
But it's never too late for you
Bring the fire (It's never too late)
Bring the rain (It's never too late)
Grant desires (It's never too late)
Numb the pain (It's never too late)
Bring the fire (It's never too late)
Bring the rain (It's never too late)
Grant desires (It's never too late)
It's never too late for you
Love Bites

**Love Bites** is the fifth track of seven on Aviators' third Halloween-themed EP *Masks*.

## Track description

### "A newly turned vampire in love finds herself fixed on her partner as prey, creating some overwhelming relationship issues."

- from Bandcamp

## Lyrics

Night of sin; the eve of curses
Wishing lust for wicked ways
Through the chants and hellish verses
At the altar, we'll start to pray
Douse the candles; end the ritual
A mass of darkness gone too far
In you lies; vain desire
To dance a hunt beneath the stars
Forbidden rites
For moonlit nights
Unleashed now
Essence of love
From above
I've made our
Hellbent mistake
The devil's take
At midnight
Cursed with you
The things we do
When love bites
No beast without a passion
Yours chasing death it seems
For what else does lie after
It could end this fever dream
Your kiss is laced with poison
You're turning hearts to stone
Huntress of blood and wonder
I feel the magic in my bones
Forbidden rites
For moonlit nights
Unleashed now
Essence of love
From above
I've made our
Hellbent mistake
The devil's take
At midnight
Cursed with you
The things we do
When love bites
Out on the road through the midnight haze
She drove a thousand miles in a bewitched craze
To prey upon the one who began a cursed spell
Summoned like a bat out of hell
I didn't know and I didn't see
The grave warning signs in front of me
If the dead begin to dance we're running all night long
I need a way out of this love gone wrong
Forbidden rites
For moonlit nights
Unleashed now
Essence of love
From above
I've made our
Hellbent mistake
The devil's take
At midnight
Cursed with you
The things we do
When love bites
You've become a beast
That I can't tame
Your love's possession is a
Devil's game
Dreams of the Deep (song)

**Dreams of the Deep** is the fourth (and title) track of Aviators' thirteenth album of the same name.

This track is inspired by the 1928 short story "The Call of Cthulhu" by H. P. Lovecraft, as well as the shared mythos universe the creature and its entities reside in.

## Lyrics

Enshrined
By an ocean divine
Waiting for the truth to come alive
Before your own accursed eyes
The call
The end of it all
Death lingers endlessly below
Awaiting mankind's fall
It comes at last
From ages past
The madness below
Beyond all that we know
Will arise
Nightmares foretold
From days of old
The secrets we keep
And the dreams of the deep
Realized
The end
Of the sane world of men
Now I question all that I have seen
I this is a specter or a dream
Embraced
By those with the taste
For insight forgotten long ago
Of futures laid to waste
It comes at last
From ages past
The madness below
Beyond all that we know
Will arise
Nightmares foretold
From days of old
The secrets we keep
And the dreams of the deep
Realized
And in the waves we wander
Searching for our end
Now our vessel's going under
And an epitaph is penned
With the sunken gateway opened
Soon the sea reclaims
And when the dark has spoken
We will know its cursed name
It comes at last
From ages past
The madness below
Beyond all that we know
Will arise
Nightmares foretold
From days of old
The secrets we keep
And the dreams of the deep
Realized
The Rot (song)

**The Rot** is the first of ten tracks in Aviators' fifteenth album *Halfwolf*.

This track is inspired by the eighth main enemy boss Malenia (Blade of Miquella), from the 2022 action role-playing video game *Elden Ring*.

## Lyrics

The poison in the cherry wine
A state of death but trapped in time
Afflicted with a nightmare's touch
That mother could not cure
A crimson promise kept to me
And I cling to it carefully
When battles fought could break my soul
It whispers to endure
As flowers blow in southern winds
They tell the tales of my own sin
When I can't stop the fight I'm in
And scarlet spreads once more
This is the pain that feeds
The rot inside
A poison and a creed
My parasite
I am changed but free
And it strengthens me
Still to survive
So like a river flows
I'll move along
As the infection grows
My heart beats strong
I will thrive consumed
As a midnight bloom
Into the dawn
A killing blow from nature's wrath
The detour on my divine path
In fallout of the shattered
The debtors are unpaid
Misguided by the influence
Of the last order's ignorance
There's hope left in the bloodline still
It slumbers far away
Beyond the mountains on the sea
Lies kindred grace for Valkyries
The wait for a homecoming
It grows to countless days
This is the pain that feeds
The rot inside
A poison and a creed
My parasite
I am changed but free
And it strengthens me
Still to survive
So like a river flows
I'll move along
As the infection grows
My heart beats strong
I will thrive consumed
As a midnight bloom
Into the dawn
So if I must wait forever
For salvation or the grave
I have bound my soul to vengeance
And I've taken what I crave
I will stop the interruptions
Even if I lose my mind
When the roaches come I'll crush them
As I'm running out of time
Within the rot it seems
There's a faint humanity
That speaks to the affliction as it grows
And all I have become
In the years of growing numb
Is perfect in the ways I've come to know
This is the pain that feeds
The rot inside
A poison and a creed
My parasite
I am changed but free
And it strengthens me
Still to survive
So like a river flows
I'll move along
As the infection grows
My heart beats strong
I will thrive consumed
As a midnight bloom
Into the dawn
No one Will Save You

Based off of Bloodborne

## Lyrics

I hear music in the air tonight

One familiar fading tune

Something pulls at my infected soul

I think I remember you

I burned your world away

Devoured by my conviction

I left you home afraid

While mother's ventured out

Don't cry when lanterns fade

Soon we'll be awakened

But it breaks my heart to say

No one will save you now

I could be your own avenging angel

But this dream is ending soon

Don't you scream when all the wolves come find you

Underneath this bleeding moon

Listen closely for your sister's footsteps

Lest you fade here all alone

I have never seen a night this haunting

In these streets of blood and bone

I can't hold the beast that crawls through my veins

Sacrificing my own eyes

No confessions left to purify me

Something's watching from the skies

I hear music in the air tonight

One familiar fading tune

I can't save you from the monsters coming

But we'll wake up very soon

Forgive me...
Bleeding Sun

**Bleeding Sun** is the third track of Aviators' ninth album *Dystopian Fiction*.

## Lyrics

They have seen all the rage that's inside me
Said it makes me strong
In the core, lies the stairway to heaven
Where the gods have gone
Told they need a guardian
A sentinel of blood
I was given hope again
Behind the rising flood
So how can I embrace the power
Of flesh and this machine
I'll infect the system
Behind the scenes
Humanity's darkest hour
I will not run
And I can save the souls still under
This bleeding sun
I have walked lonely streets in the darkness
Citizens of dust
In the homes of the slaves I abandoned
Lies a chance for us
Metal parts and connection to evil
My virtual crown
I am part of the mind that destroyed us
Just to shut it down
So how can I embrace the power
Of flesh and this machine
I'll infect the system
Behind the scenes
Humanity's darkest hour
I will not run
And I can save the souls still under
This bleeding sun
Bleeding Sun
Heaven incarnate
Army of one
In the beacon of darkness
Bleeding Sun
I will be
Running free
In the rapture
I will be their bane
When the flood
Comes to take
Back the city
I will bring the pain
For the seekers of absolution
I will set the stage
For our sons of the revolution
I will lead the way
More than a human
Army of one
God of the wasteland
The Bleeding Sun
Heaven incarnate
Army of one
In the beacon of darkness
Bleeding Sun
I will be
Running free
In the rapture
I will be their bane
When the flood
Comes to take
Back the city
I will bring the pain
For the seekers of absolution
I will set the stage
For our sons of the revolution
I will lead the way
More than a human
Army of one
God of the wasteland
The Bleeding Sun
Fully ascended
The key inside
Immortal angels
Destined to die
Wicked Wicked World

**Wicked Wicked World** is the third track of Aviators' sixth album *From Oceans To Skies*.

## Lyrics

The darkness
Lends an heartless drone to the endless wailing
Forgive me
For so very long I've been blindly sailing
Across your sea of broken dreams
Your darkest days and saddest scenes
Our glass house cracked
So don’t look back
It’s too late now
Here I can see you
The bitter side of me
Those whispers seep through
The evil they can't see
Sick, twisted brother
The plans have now unfurled
Vile like no other, set me free of
Your wicked, wicked world
The balance
Is thrown by your deception
I see this
In your twisted, dark perception
Don't look to me to be your guide
I'll drown you in the rising tide
So set me loose
I'll tie your noose
And bring you down
Here I can see you
The bitter side of me
Those whispers seep through
The evil they can't see
Sick, twisted brother
The plans have now unfurled
Vile like no other, set me free of
Your wicked, wicked world
Wicked, wicked world
Sometimes I need to believe
That you're a separate side of me
Even if that's not true
I have to silence you
Your poisoned words infect my head
So I'll paint your black heart red
And then your wicked world
Will turn to something new
Here I can see you
The bitter side of me
Those whispers seep through
The evil they can't see
Sick, twisted brother
The plans have now unfurled
Vile like no other, set me free of
Your wicked, wicked world

The Dude

## Overview

The most accurate depiction of The Dude and his Skateboard thus far.

The Dude is a character created by Myotic Tesseract. He acts as an outcast deus ex machina who constantly saves the world with his skateboard (although he is revealed in chapter three to simply be a projection from his sentient skateboard). His story is written in a severely grammatically incorrect manner, and it often has little to no line of logical progression. He is, in fact, one of the Ascended, but his relation to any of the main characters is yet unknown.

A link to his full story so far can be found here.

## Story

The Dude is introduced as a resident of Miami, Florida, who is mainly known for his proficiency with skateboarding. When the Bleeding Sun came to power, he fled the city and stayed in a luxurious home.

The Dude woke up one day to his hometown being flooded with unexplained spirits. He goes to the mayor to take care of the ghost problem, but after they seemingly rid the town of ghosts, the mayor revealed himself to be the leader of said ghosts. The Dude killed him with his skateboard to finally end the problem for good.

His story finally starts to tie into the main storyline when his skateboard tells him to meet someone. This person is soon revealed to be the Hunter. The two of them try to convince her to help them defeat the Bleeding Sun, which has now returned in a Death Star-esque ship orbiting the world. She agrees to join them and defeat the Bleeding Sun, and thus the story ends for now.

## Trivia

* The house that The Dude resides in is compared to a nonspecific building from the video game Fortnite.
* In the story, the word "skateboard" is never spelled correctly. Myotic tries to find new ways to misspell the word for each new instance of it.
* The tomb that appears in The Dude's dream belongs to "Lebron Jate," a reference to basketball player LeBron James.
* The concept of The Dude's sentient skateboard can be said to be inspired by the 1993 film *The Skateboard Kid*. His affinity for skateboarding is also comparable to Tony Hawk, a professional and extremely well-known skateboarder.
Awakening

### Collaborators

**Awakening** is the sixth track of Aviators' tenth album *Let There Be Fire*.

This track is inspired by the 2017 space opera film "Star Wars: The Last Jedi".

## Lyrics

Sweet beckoning starlight calling my name
A million voices resounding the same
For all of the answers, I'll leave this behind
To channel my insight with time
Pulled by endless potential unseen
When the horizon's call intervenes
And I'm not sure where the dark turned into the light
The closing abyss between us
Break from our heritage, to keep our alignment upright
Escape from our own avarice
Awakening in the twilight
The shadow of greatness held over my head
A legacy written of power and dread
Betrayed by a mentor of days long ago
Branded by temptation
The deep undertow
Into spaces unseen
When the horizon's call intervenes
And I'm not sure where the dark turned into the light
The closing abyss between us
Break from our heritage, to keep our alignment upright
Escape from our own avarice
Awakening in the twilight
We're connected by fate
With our true selves awake
Every step and the road gets longer
Institutions will fade
From the new world we've made
When our minds turn to gray, we're stronger
A touch from the outskirts
A new hope unknown
Our power set equal
No longer alone
Don't leave me to fight back
The conflicts inside
I need you to save me
From desperate pride
And I'm not sure where the dark turned into the light
The closing abyss between us
Break from our heritage, to keep our alignment upright
Escape from our own avarice
Awakening in the twilight
And I'm not sure where the dark turned into the light
The closing abyss between us
Break from our heritage, to keep our alignment upright
Escape from our own avarice
Awakening in the twilight
Revenge

### Collaborators

**Revenge** is the fifth track of Aviators' fourth album *Ghosts In The Code*.

## Lyrics

You could tell me I deserved my sentence
But now I'm free
I won't pay my penance
Your hostility towards me is a score I have to settle
I can feel the rage burning in my veins
Uncaged I'm going to take the reigns
You're dethroned now begins an age of pain
I'll make your castles fall
This time it's personal
Hate can kill
But I'm a killer
So be still
I'll watch you wither
Don't you underestimate the kind of mess that I can make
If I'm your king
You'll bow before me
Here's the twist
In your sad story
It's time to meet your bitter end
Cause nothing tastes so sweet as revenge
Betrayed by my own bloodline
I was cast away
Now vengeance is mine
I've come too far to give up on my plan to win our battle
Forgiveness would only mean you've won
I find my way to be so much more fun
I think you'll find there's nowhere you can run
Now look me in the eye
And say your last goodbye
Hate can kill
But I'm a killer
So be still
I'll watch you wither
Don't you underestimate the kind of mess that I can make
If I'm your king
You'll bow before me
Here's the twist
In your sad story
It's time to meet your bitter end
Cause nothing tastes so sweet as revenge
I guess it's not your fault
You only fought my crime
But that's not what matters to me
This is a venom of mine
There's still bad blood
There's a bad grudge
I can feel it ruling me
Oh this hate won't let me see
Might be something better here
Maybe I'm wrong, as it appears
But revenge is so satisfying
Hate can kill
But I'm a killer
So be still
I'll watch you wither
Don't you underestimate the kind of mess that I can make
If I'm your king
You'll bow before me
Here's the twist
In your sad story
It's time to meet your bitter end
Cause nothing tastes so sweet as revenge
Undead

## Lyrics

I'm just a freak

Just a goblin with a story to keep

I'm just a corpse

Hollowed out by my guilt, the darkest force

I am just a beast

There's a darkness rising from the east

The darkness is me

It's what I've always wanted to be

I'm the desire

To put your hand into the fire

I'm the nightmare

The shadow you see when there's nothing there

I am undead

There's only death within my head

I rot away

But I'm not falling down today

I am the crime

Every evil thought you have is mine

I am the cure

To the fairer side's allure

I'm just a freak

Just a goblin with a story to keep

I'm just a corpse

Hollowed out by my guilt, the darkest force

I am just a beast

There's a darkness rising from the east

The darkness is me

And now there's death as far as I can see

## Lyrics

I think I've lost my way
A long vacation
Like a rat that holds the plague
The infestation
We all got bloody hands
While playing blackjack
You live a life on chance
You get your payback
I need a little help sometimes to listen to myself
From someone else
I can't believe I came so far surviving in this shame
Am I to blame?
I'm not, shut up, shut up
Welcome to the freak show
Thought the odds were equal
Roulette in my head keeps rolling on
Let the bloody streets flow
Nothing holds a candle
To the rapid fire of my own gun
Maybe psycho
Push me and you might go
Over in a blaze of arcane blue
Stop me if I ramble
I'll come take a gamble for you
'Cause you need a little bad luck baby
A new ghost in the house
The city's haunted
I never crossed the line
But I like feeling wanted
Foundations wash away
The pain I tasted
Now you'll love the game we play
But your luck is wasted
I need a little hurt sometimes to keep me who I am
To give a damn
I came back with my shattered soul to find a better way
Now who's to say
Now who's to say
Welcome to the freak show
Thought the odds were equal
Roulette in my head keeps rolling on
Let the bloody streets flow
Nothing holds a candle
To the rapid fire of my own gun
Maybe psycho
Push me and you might go
Over in a blaze of arcane blue
Stop me if I ramble
I'll come take a gamble for you
'Cause you need a little bad luck baby
I need a little help sometimes to listen to myself
From someone else
From someone else
I couldn't find the words to say I miss you more than peace
So save me please
Come save me please
You taught me how to hate the world itself, well lucky me
But am I free?
Now am I free?
So welcome to the freak show
Thought the odds were equal
Roulette in my head keeps rolling on
Let the bloody streets flow
Nothing holds a candle
To the rapid fire of my own gun
Maybe psycho
Push me and you might go
Over in a blaze of arcane blue
Stop me if I ramble
I'll come take a gamble for you
'Cause you need a little bad luck baby
Wartorn

**Wartorn** is the ninth track of Aviators' thirteenth album *Dreams of the Deep*.

## Lyrics

With strength like the Atlantic wind
We ready for a storm
The call to rise as champions
Starts where our kingdom's born
With iron on our battered skin
And anger in our bones
We'll die to serve this petty crown
Protect this fragile throne
Set your eyes
On the fire in the sky
Seems the war is neverending
'Til the true king sits on high
Our birthright
Taken swiftly in the night
We write history as immortals
May our nation never die
The blood spilled on these clover fields
Will run into the sea
Where we will take the reaches back
With brave camaraderie
Though brethren low have fallen
We will have to carry on
To build up on the ashes of
Old lies and broken bonds
Set your eyes
On the fire in the sky
Seems the war is neverending
'Til the true king sits on high
Our birthright
Taken swiftly in the night
We write history as immortals
May our nation never die
We put our fear away
We heal after the break
And announce our victory
We claim this land as ours
We fight under the stars
To embrace this destiny
We gather
To push further
Not just madness
Not just murder
For safety
Together
Our kingdom
Forever
Set your eyes
On the fire in the sky
Seems the war is neverending
'Til the true king sits on high
Our birthright
Taken swiftly in the night
We write history as immortals
May our nation never die

## Lyrics

Where will you be when walls give way
When it's crashing down, and falls away
A wishful thought won't take you far
When hell on earth is where you are
Win or lose you pay the price someday
Welcome to paradise
For thieves and kings alike
The wasteland tolls
Our mortal souls tonight
Game on, it's time to shine
Our lives are on the line
In ruins we strive
We'll never thrive
Without the will to survive
It's a brutal curse to call this home
Where the good men die and evil roams
A thousands lives claimed by this land
The passing cleanse, the fall of man
Do or die, we fight to survive
Welcome to paradise
For thieves and kings alike
The wasteland tolls
Our mortal souls tonight
Game on, it's time to shine
Our lives are on the line
In ruins we strive
We'll never thrive
Without the will to survive
Where will you be when we rise again
When our enemies will meet their end
It's a whisper turned a battle cry
We're still here 'cause we refuse to die
Welcome to paradise
For thieves and kings alike
The wasteland tolls
Our mortal souls tonight
Game on, it's time to shine
Our lives are on the line
In ruins we strive
We'll never thrive
Without the will to survive
Welcome to paradise
Welcome to paradise
Monumental

**Monumental** is the seventh track of Aviators' tenth album *Let There Be Fire*.

A VIP remix of this song serves as both the first of three bonus tracks as well as the fourteenth track overall on the album.

This track is inspired by the 2009 action role-playing video game "Demon's Souls" by FromSoftware.

## Lyrics

Awake inside the nexus of the earth
A place of comfort, for spirits' birth
Your essence held, in my unbroken hands
A shadow lost to foiled plans
In the peak of the night
I will set you free
Now you're a ghost in the light
With the brand that we
Hold inside our hearts
Death's own counterpart
Respite from the reaper's lie
So may your dreams be monumental
When your spirit guides the way
Within the flicker of a candle
I will heal your soul's decay
We share a fate
Trapped on a page
By the author of our world's demise
In your eyes
I see the pain
Your targets slain
I will be the whispers in your mind
The demon inside
A dark embrace, the keeper of the lost
For this old city's unyielding cost
So take my hand and grow within my power
Oh, slayer of kings, let this demon devour
In the black of the night
You have been set free
Now you're a ghost in the light
With a purpose we
Know inside our hearts
Death's own counterpart
Respite from the reaper's lie
So may your dreams be monumental
When your spirit guides the way
Within the flicker of a candle
I will heal your soul's decay
We share a fate
Trapped on a page
By the author of our world's demise
In your eyes
I see the pain
Your targets slain
I will be the whispers in your mind
The demon inside
Strengthen your desire
Consume the hellfire
Don't let down your guard
Let in the darkness
You will defeat this
Trial of ancient gods
Take me in spirit
Demon adherent
When you're the last one to survive
Spirit, stay gentle
Next monumental
Will you keep the fire alive?
I, with the power inside set an end to these
Lies, from the deep and the quiet, set the whispers free
Sleep, my old enemy
Let come an end to me
Traveler, please let me fade
Here, at the end of the line all has been returned
Leave, from the land of the dead, and the souls upturned
Please, child, remember me
Lost in a memory
Let this demon rot away
So may your dreams be monumental
When your spirit guides the way
Within the flicker of a candle
I will heal your soul's decay
We share a fate
Trapped on a page
By the author of our world's demise
In your eyes
I see the pain
Your targets slain
I will be the whispers in your mind
The demon inside
Traveler's Song

***Traveler's Song*** is eighteenth single and the third track of Aviators' tenth album *Let There Be Fire*.

## Lyrics

Sing for the lost, for eternal affairs

Sing to raise our spirits in great despair

Through the ashes of oblivion

Quick and unseen like the dragon's offspring

For we owe no debts and bow to no king

Every war has its costs and we've paid

Won by the bond of the party we've made

Warn with a call that the battle starts now

As the demons listen we strike them down

Fighting back the rifts of blood

Sent from the sky lies a angel in need

Give him muse to strengthen and words to heed

Heaven's doused and set alight

We're knocking on the gates of hell tonight

Broken swords and dragon's bones

Scattered on the way back home

Beating to the sound of clashing steel

When they're on our heels

Now chant the tales and legends told

Strengthened by the hymns of old

Weathered as this winding road is long

So we sing our traveler's song

Play out a spell in your sequence of chords

To inspire and sharpen our rusted swords

Echoing the whisper of the trees

Creep 'long a path where a thousand bards failed

From the thick West Tyrian jungle trails

Come from afar to set prisoners free

Into dark tangled depths from the open sea

Broken swords and dragon's bones

Scattered on the way back home

Beating to the sound of clashing steel

When they're on our heels

Now chant the tales and legends told

Strengthened by the hymns of old

Weathered as this winding road is long

So we sing our traveler's song

Second chances don't come cheap

So keep alert and on your feet

An ancient spirit's song will heal our wounds

Unabashed by our defeat

Spite the bloodstains on these cobble streets

A message to the gods to see us through

Ever heard, yet rarely sung

So raise your voice and praise the sun

I call a new rebirth to keep us strong

Countless souls along the path

Lost to fiends and lords of wrath

But we'll return to play our final song

Broken swords and dragon's bones

Scattered on the way back home

Beating to the sound of clashing steel

When they're on our heels

Now chant the tales and legends told

Strengthened by the hymns of old

Weathered as this winding road is long

So we sing our traveler's song

With major inspiration from Elden Ring, Armored Core, Baldur's Gate, and many more series, these stories in song range from confident battle anthems to melancholy ballads."

**This Means War** is the seventh track of Aviators' sixth album *From Oceans To Skies*. This track is inspired by the 2015 superhero film "Avengers: Age of Ultron" by Marvel Studios.

Avi collaborated with brony artist SlyphStorm on this song.

## Lyrics

We are
The war's all stars
Fighting off the villainy
Of our own epiphany
No, we won't
Let our goal
Of a better system
Drive Earth to darker vision
It's a mistake
But this we can take
Race to the finish and now
We're gonna win it
Never outmatched
The best are dispatched
Avoid this cold extinction
Our world's programmed affliction
It's all coming together
The countdown's at an end
Gods and men fighting as equals
As allies, not as friends
But all it takes
To raise the stakes
Is a world worth fighting for
You've crossed a line
For the last time
This means war
This means war
Our time
Has led us to shine
The path we're on to victory
Runs with blood and misery
It's a sick game
Because death came
To the young and innocent
In this metal instrument
It's a crisis
But one we can fix
The strings that puppeteer us
Now begin to fear us
The time is now
To sort this out
A clockwork apparition
Has challenged our position
It's all coming together
The countdown's at an end
Gods and men fighting as equals
As allies, not as friends
But all it takes
To raise the stakes
Is a world worth fighting for
You've crossed a line
For the last time
This means war
The skies are ringing with metallic singing
A binary general
The spirits are broken and the monster's awoken
Rise, synthetic devil
When the shields are shattered, our heroes battered
It seems our saviors are no more
Our magnum opus has turned against us
This means war
It's all coming together
The countdown's at an end
Gods and men fighting as equals
As allies, not as friends
But all it takes
To raise the stakes
Is a world worth fighting for
You've crossed a line
For the last time
This means war
This means war
Sainthood and Sanctuary

**Sainthood and Sanctuary** is the tenth track of Aviators' twelfth album *The Cinematic Future*.

## Track description

### "A young man gives into the false promises of his city's ruling cult in the hopes of finding safety in their temple. Instead of salvation, he finds himself trapped and constantly spied upon as his desire for safety in righteousness leaves him alone once again."

- from Bandcamp

## Lyrics

Safe from an early grave
But death feels closer still
When does the human soul cave
To find itself a kill
Promised a crown of glory
Fought for an equal stand
But fortune would never find me
In this blood red land
Why have I given my heart
I've fallen so far
Because now the future scares me
Why am I broken and small
I'd sacrifice all
For sainthood and sanctuary
After I sought protection
The saviors broke my bones
Lost streets that I remember
Now lie here alone
Mantras of greater purpose
End up left behind
The faithful don't deserve this
Desperate and blind
I would give anything
To know I'm not alone
I'm tired of suffering
When I once had a home
Fallen graces
Familiar faces
Never look like mine
Rings of fire
And holy water
Never turn back time
Why do I
Have many questions
Intel I can't find
Still unsure of
My mind's selection
To trust my fallen kind
Restless

**Restless** is the second track of Aviators' fourth album *Ghosts In The Code*.

## Lyrics

I guess I'm obscure
I guess I'm usual
I guess that's why they call me incapable
If I could make a change
Believe me I would try
I'd make something of this dead-end street called life
But maybe that's just it
Maybe I have to do
Something I've never wanted to
Maybe I'm not the same
Maybe I'm meant for more
I guess I'll see what tomorrow has in store
Cause I've been getting restless
And I have to confess
This feeling held in my chest
Is so hard to ignore
Been wanting satisfaction
When I have to take action
I want feel a reaction
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
I guess I'm a fool
Another pair of eyes
To watch the broken world just pass me by
But is it that hopeless
Or am I seeing wrong
Have I been the change needed all along
Am I a part of this
Is it my chance to shine
Am I too late, or am I just in time
We're back to business now
It's time to face the crowd
It's time to show them, I'll change the world somehow
Cause I've been getting restless
And I have to confess
This feeling held in my chest
Is so hard to ignore
Been wanting satisfaction
When I have to take action
I want feel a reaction
Like never before
I'm sick of standing, waiting for someone else
I'm sick of standing, waiting for someone else
I'm sick of standing, waiting for someone else
I'm sick of standing, waiting for someone else
From here on I'm a different man, with a plan
I'm standing true holding all the world in my hands
And when they tell me I'm a useless pawn, they'll be wrong
I'll tell them I've been standing restless here for far too long
Cause I've been getting restless
And I have to confess
This feeling held in my chest
Is so hard to ignore
Been wanting satisfaction
When I have to take action
I want feel a reaction
Like never before
Cause I've been getting restless
And I have to confess
This feeling held in my chest
Is so hard to ignore
Been wanting satisfaction
When I have to take action
I want feel a reaction
Like never before
Cause I've been getting restless
And I have to confess
This feeling held in my chest
Is so hard to ignore
The Adventure (song)

**The Adventure** is the first and title track in Aviators' second overall album of the same name.

## Lyrics

Lost inside
The thought of a journey
I can't hide
From the danger around me
But I know
That it will be alright
I'm not alone
My friends are by my side
When I look around
I see the world falling apart slowly
But with another glance I see
My friends always ready to be there for me
Sometimes life gets hard
And I know people get hurt
But with my friends at my side
I'm ready to take on the adventure
Nothing at all
Will take who we are away
We're gonna turn life
To an adventure today
We won't stop
We won't back down
I'm on top of the world
With my friends around
When I look around
I see the world falling apart slowly
But with another glance I see
My friends always ready to be there for me
Sometimes life gets hard
And I know people get hurt
But with my friends at my side
I'm ready to take on the adventure
Carefully dodging
Every turn
Throughout life's problems we live and learn
Fighting to stay
On top of your game
Life has its quirks
But you're not to blame
Don't give up
You've come so far
With the help of some friends
You'll find who you are
Don't stop to think
Just keep moving on
Things tend to happen
Things will go wrong
But it's not about who you've been
It's about who you are
Sometimes you've gotta get off the ground
To shoot for the stars
When I look around
I see the world falling apart slowly
But with another glance I see
My friends always ready to be there for me
Sometimes life gets hard
And I know people get hurt
But with my friends at my side
I'm ready to take on the adventure
The Wall of Sleep

**The Wall of Sleep** is the first track of Aviators' thirteenth album *Dreams of the Deep*.

This track is inspired by the 1919 short story "Beyond the Wall of Sleep" by Howard Lovecraft (aka H.P. Lovecraft).

## Lyrics

Shapeless, shifting void
The sanctum of the weary and the paranoid
A source of untold fears
Helpless to observe
Beyond my understanding my own soul's unnerved
With music to my ears
What horrors have I dreamt of
Will I shudder if I stare
Am I strong enough to transcend
Am I brave enough to dare
Is my fragile psyche faded
Have I sunken to the deep
The forbidden world allures me
Beyond the wall of sleep
Summoned now in rest
Both foolish and enlightened are unkindly blessed
To witness the obscure
Fleeting glimpse of death
The horrors still consume me with my every breath
A specter's scar so pure
What horrors have I dreamt of
Will I shudder if I stare
Am I strong enough to transcend
Am I brave enough to dare
Is my fragile psyche faded
Have I sunken to the deep
The forbidden world allures me
Beyond the wall of sleep
Running wild in the night
In our dreams we take flight
But where to do we run
When the nightmare's begun
Are these faces of mine
Or do they hide behind
The sleeping surface
Keys to know the unknown
Every life, every stone
But what soul pays the cost
When you learn from the lost
What awaits in the dark
If you dream with a spark
To invite a disturbance
What horrors have I dreamt of
Will I shudder if I stare
Am I strong enough to transcend
Am I brave enough to dare
Is my fragile psyche faded
Have I sunken to the deep
The forbidden world allures me
Beyond the wall of sleep
