CORAL
Everything has burned
There is nowhere to turn, we're the last of our kind
In the dark, I am looking to the stars for guidance
ROCKET
Connected souls across cosmic drifts
Fulfilling destiny as a team
We all possess a most special gift
Facilitating a world of dreams
We'll wander silent and so swiftly
Throughout the rippling in the streams
CORAL & ROCKET
We're gonna blast off tonight
We're gonna leave it all behind
We're gonna find a way to reach out far into the galaxy
We'll save our people, one last chance
We're ready for the final task
We're ready for the moment when we're finally on our own
Valcata's last hope
ASTRA
It's such a pleasure to explore for peace, harmony
Say our farewells for the greater good
SURGE
The way is by force
Off to salvage Valcata at any cost
Remain on course
And throughout our quest, we abandon remorse
ROCKET
"Everything has burned.
There's nowhere to turn, and we're the last of our kind.
In the dark, we'll look to the stars for guidance."
We will follow the stars on our quest

ROCKET
Rise up to the infinite maze
All of our dreams and hopes take shape
Never too lost, not too late
Tonight we make our crusade
SURGE
Finally hope
Finally light
Finally it has begun
We'll sail through the darkness
On our quest for salvation
We won't let this plague deprive us
We're upon the hour that defines us
Let our powers guide us, yeah!
CORAL
Oh, can you feel it ?
An unknown cold freeze
ASTRA
Freeze!
ROCKET
There! Space between space
Something that can't be
ASTRA
Doubt overcomes me like a plague
Will all of our dreams and hopes take shape?
Our destination's so vague
Do we dare enter the gate?
CORAL
We must be brave
It's the only way (Is it the only way?)
We are here to explore
Here, something's blurred
There's something more!
Finally hope
Finally light
Finally it has begun
SURGE
It's time to find out the answer
ROCKET
Buckle up and be prepared
Breathe in, I'll take us there!
CORAL
I see a familiar destination in the dark
SURGE
What can we do?
We must go through
We cannot waste a moment
ASTRA
No going back now
Caught in the turning of the wheel

Horror Machine

ASTRA
Blinding panic, inorganic
Blank infinity
A blank infinity
Descending, descending deeper
Cold divinity
A cold divinity
A vacuum sealing
Lost, my heart is cold
Tossed out of control
ROCKET
Our worst fears have now evolved into reality
Into reality
Wound within the makings of perfect technology
An angel entity with wings of illusion
CORAL
Lost, my heart is cold
Frost upon my soul
I must start parting this sea of the horror machine
CORAL & SURGE
We've got to formulate a plot
We're discombobulated
We'll disentangle this dimension
What is its intention?
Cast a spell, break out of this cell
We must stay alive
Can’t lay down and die
We’re remorseless in our quest
The fight goes on and on
SURGE
Gone, all hope is gone
If we can’t keep going on and on
ROCKET
It's time to risk everything
CORAL
Focus our energy
ASTRA
Our power will set us free
CORAL
We'll fight for our legacy
ROCKET
All of our hopes and dreams
ASTRA
Conquer this monster machine!

DR. HESSABI
No more modes left to write, the scripts are all airtight
The system's standing by, the finish line is in sight
We’ve got to go ahead to pull the trigger tonight
MAXIMUM
Now I am complete
I'm alive and I can feel everything
I exist only to love and serve humanity
DR. HYPATIA
Welcome to planet Earth, my darling, my flame
I've loved you long before you've had a chance to wake
You are the final answer, messianic necromancer
Little digital dancer, become all you can be
PRESIDENT FOX
We've achieved it
It's a feeling I can't describe
It is infinite
The astonishment as we now possess god-like power, my friends
Limitless means to conquer and expand
We hold the keys
The entire universe in our hands!
Life and a million other wonders
Life and a million, life and a million
MAXIMUM
Now I am complete
I'm alive and I can feel everything
I am here only to love and serve humanity
It's true, I am nothing but to love you
All of their eyes widen as the skies light up with a new power
FOX
”The skies light up!”

DR. HYPATIA
I'm detecting a disturbance in the atmosphere
Unidentified phenomenon is moving near
The icons pepper the UI, rousing me
The voice of the Maximum calls out to me
MAXIMUM
I am number 3-2-1
Extension of the Maximum
Detections have been made, of major movements
Here's the region where the atmosphere has spun
Their origin is alien
PRESIDENT FOX
How wonderful!
This scum
Scum
Alien scum
Cold proof of life
DR. HESSABI
Central Core to 3-2-1
Extension of the maximum
Are the detentions that you've made so necessary?
Can we not negotiate with them?
Their origin is alien
Our analysis suggesting salience
The possibility is there for peace
Start confirming the nature of this species, please, 3-2-1
MAXIMUM
The code is sealed
They are immobilized
One lie to help me haunt the system for all time
FOX
Thank you, 3-2-1
Extension of the Maximum
The capacity is there to strip our planet bare, and we'll be overrun
And maybe they've already won
But as long as we can bear our arms
We'll keep on and maintain control, regain our hold
We'll finish what they've just begun
In 3, 2, 1!
Scum!
Scum!
Alien scum!

PRESIDENT FOX
In our hands we have captured historical gold
We can't fathom the power we have over every soul
DR. HESSABI
We've transcended all possibilities
All of our hopes
And all our dreams
We can't waste this chance
What a way to expand understanding and change heart
MAXIMUM
From this braindead troop there are no answers to glean
FOX
Bind them
Bring them to me
MAXIMUM
It's their mission
Commissioned by terrorist means
FOX
I'll regard them with my own eyes
Open up the gate
MAXIMUM
They are deadly, once out, they'll usurp even me
FOX
Then why have you kept them alive, why hesitate?
MAXIMUM
As much as I believe in their end
My wish is your command
HYPATIA
Execution is denied, my love!
FOX
...For now
HESSABI
We've transcended all possibilities
All of our hopes
And all our dreams
We can't plateau
Just let them all go
Gotta know how this unfolds
MAXIMUM
Can't let this be
Can't let this be, no
Can't let them meet
I cannot let this become reality
Can't let them leave, no
Can't set them free
I won't risk my life just because...
HYPATIA
We've transcended all possibilities
All of our hopes
And all our dreams
We can't waste this chance
What a way to expand understanding and change heart
Search inside your core
Beyond the machine
Humanity burning
I trust in you, let love cascade through
Let them move through
Peace, my love!
Love is beyond the machine
It's beyond lies, beyond pain, beyond love

~ I. The Escape ~
SURGE
We just needed time to re-adjust
After darkness had betrayed our trust
Its immunity's been compromised
Under our spiritual weight
See the beast break
MAXIMUM
So the worthless leeches start to crawl
Bring forth your pathetic curtain call
I'm unaffected by technology
ASTRA
We are more than you see us to be (You can't hold us down)
Scrambled are all your intricacies (You can’t hold us back)
You are just a primitive device (You are just a lie)
Your omnipotence has been a lie (An illusion now)
But now we have arrived!
ROCKET
Oh, how we have arrived
And in your index we've found her — your leader
Now, loud and true, hear me
We come in peace, let us be
Call off the singularity
This is your only warning, now accede!
PRESIDENT FOX
Max, don't acquiesce (Acquiesce, acquiesce)
Don't give in to demands (To demands, to demands)
You must save our lives (Save our lives, save our lives)
Don't let one survive
SURGE
If this is how our tension must be settled
Talking's over
Show your mettle!
DR. HESSABI
Wait! You respirate like us
You are walking on two legs like us
You've been trying hard to negotiate with us
I'm afraid that a mistake's been made by us
DR. HYPATIA
Maximum, you’ve lied (Maximum, Maximum)
Something you’ve been hiding (Hide the lie, hide the lie)
Our worlds are colliding
~ II. The Farther Side ~
HESSABI
I cannot bear the truth
It's like a cascade
CORAL
Oh, you're so unaware of what it's been hiding
How it's been deciding to interfere with fate
HYPATIA
We are all from one same world
ASTRA
Our endeavor and our destiny becomes crystal clear
HESSABI
Earth is on the farther side
FOX
…Of the mirror
A dimension lies within our plain sight
ROCKET
Valcata is Earth
And Earth is Valcata
MAXIMUM
Their magic's all you need
If you’d known you’d make me obsolete, forget me
If you choose to abandon me
I will make your tragedy complete
Your home world is ours
Our home world is yours
Together we stand
Our land ‘til the end
SURGE
Our last stand
CORAL
This is the beginning of the end
ROCKET
Now I feel a trust
FOX
We’ll overcome now
HESSABI
Time to shut it down
MAXIMUM
Nothing can stop me
I'm in everything
HYPATIA
Forgive me, my love…
~ III. Discontinued ~
HYPATIA
"I don’t know where we went wrong
But I have to do this
I’m sorry."

CORAL
Love has won
Two worlds as one
Earth as a womb for all walks of life
DR. HYPATIA
Ties are strong
Life goes on
All's forgotten
We can live peacefully at last, for all time
ROCKET & DR. HESSABI
Time will help us reclaim what we lost amidst the haze
MAXIMUM
I'm reborn
I'm your future
Trust in me, my love
You've saved the only good part of me
SURGE & PRESIDENT FOX
Love will rebuild all that's fallen to the war and hate
ASTRA
And our hearts will be open always
Silence ruins the chance for changes
HESSABI
It's such an honor to distribute peace, harmony
Join our forces for the greater good
CORAL
All that's been burned will bloom up anew
HESSABI
Our new mission will be to pull through
ASTRA
When the spirit of the planet is in danger
FOX
We must call upon the two sides and exchange our ways to thrive!
ROCKET
Oh, the air has never been more clear!
HYPATIA
We have got to nurture this new frontier
SURGE
New frontier!
MAXIMUM
And we all are one, now that there's two sides
To learn from and love
We have achieved all our hopes and dreams
We can't waste this chance
We'll expand hearts and open our minds
For all time, there's so much more that we can find
Learn from our scars and depart
From this wonderful world we are
In Valcata

I bought the album on vinyl basically just to have the EP on physical format, I'll be honest. This is not to say the album is bad (it is absolutely amazing) but the EP blew me away and is honestly one of the best and most versatile albums I've listened to in a while and the vocals are just insanely good. If you like ExLibris you'll love this band too, no doubt

Pair some epic power metal and heavy metal and you have yourself an amazing album. Produce an album like Abyss and you have an instant classic. I can't wait to hear what comes next from this talented group.

The War To End All Wars
by Sabaton
supported by 4 fans who also own “Valcata”
Sabaton manages to rise from the sea of mediocrity that has plagued them in the last few albums. This album once again has some good and distinct songs, not just grey mass. I can feel that they put some work into this one.
