Текст песни Amnaeon - Nine Years Later

Nine years of hatred—I ask, why was I given this task?
Kar'tahn is growing so fast, and he learns so quickly
I see him playing with Arilayah on top of the hill
-Reminds me of much better days;
Before all this war and the hunger that ravaged The Mainland
Suddenly, I hear a shout
-Wonder what it's all about
The children are running from something that blackens the sky
This is never a laughing matter
I find I'm struggling to protect what I love
See the fires—I cannot tire
I call my child, but no response from Kar'tahn
I wonder why?
From the top of the hill I can see through the trees
I am baffled, I'm seeing some sort of machine
One red eye—six long feet—piercing claws
-I'll defeat it
Charging forward I'm in horror
"Metal beast, I'll shut you down!"
Suddenly, I hear a shout coming from inside the town
I shut down the beast and I get to my feet once again
"Prite, try to fight! Don't let him take the child!"
This is never a laughing matter
I find I'm struggling to protect what I love
See the fires—I cannot tire
I call my child, but no response from Kar'tahn
I wonder why?
...Fothcrah's at the scene;
Hundreds of those machines
Right before me, he has stole my son
"There's got to be another way for me to get it through to you
I'll sacrifice myself if it could only save my son
At first I hated him, but now I am complete
If not for me, then for my wife
Please, just give me this chance!
You'll never see me again
I'll throw it all away—I'll do this"
"I asked you calmly nine years ago if you remember
I warned you both that child cannot be alive
I watched you walk all the way to the top 'the mountain
I watched you fail at the task that I had **censored**igned
And now you're standing like I never even told ya' nothin'
You plea to me, like I'm the one that's keeping you alive
Get on your knees and beg me not to kill you and your family
Get on your knees and pray to God that I don't change my mind
Cuz I've been through so much bull**censored**,
And you don't know what it's like to work for that foul creature
The Maker's not the kinda' person you should idolize
But I learned to bite the bullet,
And I know my place in line
You want to find him?
Go to The Temple Of knowledge and find the book The Maker left behind"
