In an era when we thrive
As technology is alive
On our colonies in outer space
Heading to the grave of time
Will the metal lord arise?
One last pilgrimage now has to leave
On the brink of total war
Prophecy of digital gods
As the destinies of men
Lies between our hands
This will be our chance
Seven pilgrims on their way
Seven wishes to be made
Seven different stories cross their paths
Only one will have his gift
But the others will be feast
For the evil beast waiting within
On the spaceship leaving ground
Trying to wrap their heads around
Why the destinies of men
Lies between their hands
This will be their chance
Hyperion
Pilgrims in exile
Hyperion
Destiny of mankind
Is lost in space and time
Hyperion
Artificial beings
Watching over us, over our sins
Eager to know more
Echoes of distant future wars
Battle of the gods
Intersection of infinite thoughts
Reaching us today
Travelling from million miles away
Blades of steel and glowing eyes
Quickly comes your own demise
Writhing on a chromed thorn
Will you wish you weren’t born?
As the final outbreak starts
And the system falls apart
A new hope is given birth again
When the child will lead mankind
We’ll defeat the masterminds
In a conflict that has yet to be
A new era unfolds ahead
As the colonies are dead
Now the destinies of men
Lies between their hands
This will be their chance
Hyperion
Pilgrims in exile
Hyperion
Destiny of mankind
Is lost in space and time
Hyperion
