minst_meat Someone linked Sieg Zeon on a Gundam reddit, that got me hooked and now I’m listening to the rest the bands got to offer. All good stuff but I hope to hear more Zeon propaganda in the future. Favorite track: Sieg Zeon!.

Reuben Consumer Starting with an Alan Parsons/ Jefferson Starship Freedom ay point Zero guitar manifesto, and following through with a solid pair of heavy ballads this album is fantastic, and my introduction to the Children. Gotta love the mood-hopping gold Favorite track: Arrival of the Dark Child.

4 Weapons 04:19
The trees blur as we ride quick through the Kingswood Guardsmen stumble, our stomachs rumble Breaking laws and felling his deer without a care Four Weapons are we, and we do as we please Four flagons of ale, clink together in a toast Over our bounty, courtesy of His Majesty Bardic brothers, never learned how to follow the rules Winning maidens' hearts whose old men wanna split our skulls Finally outwitted, they've caught us, and the King says: Off! With! Their! Heads! Destroy! The! Four Weapons! We bare our steel, We'll go down with blade in hand, but the court wizard Casts! A! Spell! Fall Asleep! My! Pret! ties! Deep inside the dungeon, 4 Weapons are rotting! Awaiting the King's Justice: lopping off our heads! But we're gonna break free, you cannot bind the wind No one's here, bust on out, good times will never end! But nothing is to be found Save a note from the Devil King: "I've taken All of them! The whole realm Is in my clutches! Come face me! Four weapons! Within my Devilish realm!" And so we descend Into the cave at the World's End The Devil Dance Begins!

Sieg Zeon! 07:32
Column of oppression rising from Earth Colonies writhe, the Sides die, Sovereign sides, from deep within the skies Fight for freedom, beheld in a roving Zaku's eye! Now's the time to strike, freedom is our right, From Zeon we shall fight, our future's shining bright, You feddies listen well, resistance we will quell, Across the starry sea, we "spacenoids" shall be free! The human ideal... We have fulfilled... Now, Open the gates and fire away! REFRAIN We fall from the stars, we of the new Master Race, born in outer space... The cosmic wind of war shall blow again, crashing down upon the Federation, we will fight until we're free, or we're dead! CHORUS Sieg Zeon!(x6) Sieg Zeon! (Oh, Sons of Side 3) Sieg Zeon! (Gather now your blood and iron!) Sieg Zeon! (Oh, Sons of Side 3) Sieg Zeon! (Prepare for war!) Taking terrible toll, yet deterred we are not The Colonies' Will is the Mighty Fist of Zeon! We'll gladly bear any atrocity... ...And we'll return it one hundred fold! You will surely meet ultimate defeat! Death, upright like man, so get out while you can, Surrender, now to us, your fleet shall become dust! Freed from gravity, you'll never shackle us again! The human ideal... We have fulfilled... Now, open the gates and fire away! REFRAIN CHORUS Now commencing... Operation British... REFRAIN CHORUS

These are not your treasures, these are goblin's treasures!(4x) Into my lair I sneak To take a little peek Within the mountainside deep My treasures await me A dragon I am not But my hoarding satisfies me Though others may not agree My trinkets are precious to me These are not your treasures, these are goblin's treasures! (4x) The wasted, forgotten things My hoard is but a mockery I search beneath the earth The shiny baubles catch my eye But wait! What is this device? The ancient runes mystify... It is told... Beneath the earth it lies... A weapon of ancient power The Terrorcrux cries...(mournful cry) And now I'll show them all The power in my grasp The terrorcrux is risen Within this wretch's hands Now the time! To lay waste is at hand! Mock me no more! Your murderous king!!! AHHAHAHAHA!!! Smashing slashing biting scouring! Cut their throats and give no mercy! Blasting bashing crushing burning! Blood and fire will scorch the land! I will see this deed be done! Mark my words: I'll see you burn! Mock my trinkets if you will While you still breathe, for good or ill Run, run, or be well done May the fires consume you! A scavenger shall lead the way Or so I always liked to say Follow me off the edge Not as if you have a say! Smashing slashing biting scouring! Blasting bashing crushing burning! Killing spilling hurting razing! Terrorcrux is out for blood! (x2) Every creature that is breathing Reckons with their lives now ceasing...
