***
Beyond the dark are men like you.
Weakened by the sun, blind fools.
Cursed by the light, a life untrue.
In the night, the fire Burns Inside.
It guides us on The Dark Side.
One path, eyes open, to the Unlite.
We are symbols, we stay concealed, shades our devices.
We are shadows, we stay unnamed, wraiths in disguises.
We are imperial, we stay unlit, the Inkakai rises.
Accept no imitations – we are the fire.
The Fierce Imperial Revenge Executed Against Liars.
Violet
Fireal Lyrics

Love... love...
Please... tell me...
What have your eyes seen
In here... my dear...
What secrets do they hold within
Oh please... tell me...
Tell me, really...
Is there something I should know...
She'd sell me down
Down the river
Tell me, Violet, what love means today
Tell me, Violet, what love means today
Love... love...
Please... tell me...
Where the years disappeared
In here... my dear...
Did they pass by quietly
Or winged by the crying hues of
The craze of time
Were you held close
Or were you set aside
She'd sell me down
Down the river
Let it all come out
Oh please say it loud
Tell me, Violet, what love means today
Tell me, Violet, what love means
Today... today...
...but she stays silent...
Listen to yourselves
You don't listen very hard
You don't listen
You don't listen to your heart
Or the child within
Oh... we could've been a family
We could've been a family
Tell me, Violet, what love means
Tell me, Violet, what love means
Tell me, Violet, what love means today
Tell me, Violet, what love means
Today... today...
Today... today...
Love... love...
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
Love... love...
