Slaughtermoon from Slaughtermoon by Mortal Intolerance

The Avyakta and the ascended Selenites arrive back on the Emerald Eden and witness the occupying forces of the AGI and the twilight of the Emerald Eden's pristine beauty. Fighting their way to the main city where many of the living Selenites are being held, the Avyakta speak into the minds of their enemies, searching their hearts. They make offers to their enemies to defect, or to undergo Transference and ascend into the 'rarefied atmosphere' of the Avyakta, and if accepting neither, just simple death. Nearing the city, the ascended Selenites reach out into the minds of their corporeal brothers and sisters, beseeching them to perform a Rite of Ascension if possible, promising they will join the voices they hear now. Most obey. Rescuing the souls of the Selenites and crushing the occupying forces of the AGI, the bio-mechanical suits of the Avyakta return to Liminara.

Lyrics

From ominous lights to incandescent enigmas
Falling from the skies
Alighting near the edge of ancient forest gardens
To begin their march
Offering transference
...not withholding death

Dawn unfolds behind the many-souled colossi
Sightlessly severing souls from their ruthless hearts
Hearing spells of truth...
Defectors now fighting for a Lunar Eden now no longer ignorant of war

'We beg of you to invoke the Rites of Ascension'

The salve to your despair, we return like fabled gods
Enslaved in the interim, now merge with us
Unconditioned luminous
Under any other death, your spirit, it will be trapped
So if you fight, invoke the Rites, otherwise you must seize the Blade of Sacrifice

'Cut yourselves free from the Artificial God's tyranny'

A silver-eyed wanderer
Caught by a pale face
Waiting to be seen
Roused from its desolate slumber
A chance to be let known its habitable promise
Awaken from frozen wastes to arise a cosmic oasis

United beyond cessation
Lest some grow entranced...
On a night of burning atmosphere and crumbling stone
