Lyrics:

With a scream, heroes come to life
With a wave, the battle comes ashore
With a shred, of hope he must arise Hibari,
The songbird of lore

Night bells ring and the trumpets
Roar like lions of blood-fueled
War Is nigh, eldritch ligions rise
Grim shock, calamity

Thunder rages across the earth like true armageddon’s birth nightmare
In the crimson sky
These bloodless creatures

Fly pale horse, raging death, grim fate, foul beasts lacerate
Our souls with scythes made of steel
True form of obscurity
Torment, bloodshed, hatred, agony, unchecked terror
Heartless fate turns to shows it’s true face

With a demon’s cry
All our fears come alive

In a world consumed by blackness entombed
There’s a lost cantata to save us

With a scream, heroes come to life
With a wave, the battle comes ashore
With a shred, of hope he must arise Hibari,
The songbird of lore

We’ll send our men all across the earth to scour all lands unheard
To seek our prize unearned to form our war machine
Legions form quickly making haste this time here is not to waste
Run true if your legs don’t quake our risen savior

Hear my cry if you’ve ears to hear save our very souls
If starlit gods granted you a heart for true empathy
Unworthy yet we trust in you, if your iron soul is true
Rip through the sky and face what threatens your new home

It’s the holy song
And emanate strong
If the stars can give then hope will still live
Far away you’ll carry on, alloy-laden champion

In a flash, all heroes congregate
In a blink, all terror knows its foe
In a world, where hope is not too late Hibari,
Your song will save us all

With a scream, heroes come to life
With a wave, the battle comes ashore
With a shred, of hope he shall arise Hibari,
The songbird of lore

Take the word to lands so far away
Our hero awaits in the night
Hibari, your song will save us all
