The fathomless force
Of the inertia of the masses
Head towards imminent disgrace
Over millennia, into ashes
Mathematicians work
To minimize the consequences
As well the mocking of this crisis
The Encyclopedia
A single act of
Perpetuation
Was not by chance
That I became the Raven
I'm done and witting
I see the future waving
There is nothing to be done, your Majesty
Execute me, cast me out, if so must be
Heed closely
Chairmen of the Board
For time, at light speed
Runs against our heir salvation
Through Psychohistory
Humanity may thrive
To see the Dawn of Time
Again
Behind the curtains, they abide to my intent
Twenty thousand hands and minds, at my command
Dr. Dornick,
You should be really anxious
It was my hand that dragged you out of home
To Terminus
Heed closely
Chairmen of the Board
For time, at light speed
Runs against our heir salvation
Through Psychohistory
Humanity may thrive
To see the Dawn of Time
Again

Overthrow

Oppose the stagnation
The will to tolerate
Their eyes on the Foundation
A game in constant change
Stubborn fools
The Pirenne's crew
May cost us everything
The blood of those
In Anacreon's throne
Will soon unleash their fleets
Le coup d’état
The only proper answer
Overthrow
Manipulating
Pointing fingers
Ever-growing anger
Le coup d’état
The only proper answer
Overthrow
With surgical precision,
We will overthrow
Collect, consider, analyze
This is the way we fight
Lord Dorwin’s haughtiness
His empty words are brought to light
Violence, last refuge
Of the incompetent.
Backfires unto those
Who cannot comprehend.
Le coup d’état
The only proper answer
Overthrow
Manipulating
Pointing fingers
Ever-growing anger
Le coup d’état
The only proper answer
Overthrow
Turning science into faith,
The final blow
The storming of the Regent
Suicidal desperation
Behold the Scientism
Intergalactic domination
Le coup d’état
The only proper answer
Overthrow
Manipulating
Pointing fingers
Ever-growing anger
Le coup d’état
The only proper answer
With surgical precision,
We will overthrow

Emperor: You are a valuable subject, Brodrig. You always suspect far more than is necessary, and I have but to take half your suggested precautions to be utterly safe. The young man, I suppose, has made no hostile moves yet.
Brodrig: He reports none. But already he asks for reinforcements.
Emperor: Reinforcements! What force has he?
Brodrig: Ten ships of the line sire.
Emperor: Ten ships would seem adequate for any reasonable undertaking. Why, with less than ten ships my father won his first victories against the usurper. Who are these barbarians he's fighting?
Brodrig: He refers to them as the Foundation.
Emperor: The Foundation? What is it?

No more than fables and deceit
No more than child’s play
Spread on the Periphery
Myths to keep the fools away
The last of the imperials
A menace to the throne
The powers out of balance
And a man out of control
Auspicious interception
A gift from Ducem Barr
The threat of the Foundation
How has it gone so far?
The Dead Hand of Seldon
Befell upon his Fate
The remnants of Anacreon
On either way will escape
The twentieth fleet
All troops at my command
Exterminate them all
From land to shore, from shore to land
A shame to the Empire
How dare you turn me down?
Thine blood is weak and poisoned
There is no heir to fallen crowns
Auspicious interception
a gift from Ducem Barr
The threat of the Foundation
How has it gone so far?
The Dead Hand of Seldon
Befell upon his Fate
The remnants of Anacreon
On either way will escape
The fall
Of the Last General

The 5th Crisis

Endless halls
Of endless terminals
Of a long forgotten nation
Performing mankind indexation
Reckless
I walk beside the eccentric Mis
Brought by or to the quest to unravel the unseen tyrant
Disentwine the shroud upon this mystery
The King of ash and cinder
Is here
We arrive
And realize
Endless questions
Of endless haunted nights
Of a desperate persecution
Running on the edge of time
He’s fading away
Hold on the last breath
One shot breaks the silence
Nothing can be said
Disentwine the shroud upon this mystery
The King of ash and cinder
Is here
Disentwine the shroud upon this mystery
We won’t be led by the
Hands of destiny
Disentwine the shroud upon this mystery
The King of ash and cinder
Is here
We arrive
And realize

Sterile Reign
04:50
|

|
Another threat arises
And rumors gather strength
Close to another crisis
It must fall on disbelief
Never seen and beyond the law, known only as the Mule
A freak of nature, wrapped in hatred
Spread out fear to rule
A freak of nature, wrapped in hatred
Spread out fear to rule
When the time is right
We must heed to Seldon’s speech
Though nothing else may circumvent
All bowing unto his knees
Not a single drop of blood was needed to build his reign
With this in mind
Leaving all behind,
Pritcher’s journey begin
What is this beast?
Where did he come from?
An unfit piece
Of a deadly puzzle
“Never seen and devouring borders
Known only as the Mule
A freak of nature, wrapped in hatred
Reveal their vital wound
Not a single drop of blood was needed to build his reign,
The one attack
Without regret
The First Foundation’s end
Unbalanced equation
The Ghost of Kalgan”

The First Speaker Spoke

Out of the first free thinkers
I’ve been chosen
A being of instincts
Never touched and unconverted
Pritchers’ clouded weakened mind
Fully unaware
Hear the roar of the oncoming warfare
I’m not a member
I speak the truth
Throw down the blaster
Or the end will reach the Mule
Tazenda bleeds
For them I mourn
The second foundation
Elsewhere is reborn
May I speak first, oh sorry being?
Do not despair
A see-through piece
Of bitter hopes and shattered dreams
Tazenda bleeds
For them I mourn
The second foundation
Elsewhere is reborn
Rossem stand tall
For them I fear
The first foundation
Regain the right to think
Look into my eyes, deep
Oh sorry being
No memories will be left
In Kalgan’s darkest corners…

Eavesdrop, conspiracy
Witch hunt, or just a felony
The palace of the Mule
Uphold the vital proof
Heirloom of old days
Find and devastate
Homir, the elder, scholar
A perfect alibi
The blood that rushes into me
Persuasion personified
The all-converging path
Our final destination
Trantor is the cradle
Of a brand new nation
Behold, the king in madness
The revelation seed
Successor of the fallen
Plots a killing spree
The first foundation strength
Slaughter child and man
The loyal sons of Kalgan
Sadly bury their dead
Could the plan return to its trail?
For our rapture
The all-converging path
Our final destination
Trantor is the cradle
Of a brand new nation
Meet us at Star’s End
Our only destination
Silence is the covenant
Sovereign civilization
One by one, we dissuade
They grasp fierce on thin air
Swirling in a loophole
The perfect escapade
Govern from the shadows
The true and only plan
Dwelling on point zero
Sullen, barren wasteland
Through chaos and deception
Balance is restored
A point in the flat circle
Returning to the shore
The all-converging path
Our final destination
Trantor is the cradle
Of a brand new nation
Meet us at Star’s End
Our only destination
Silence is the covenant
Sovereign civilization
