Shadow of the Dreadnought
World-building. It's the marching song of a nation that decided machines are the answer to everything, the kind of propaganda a society sings to itself. Writing a villain's anthem that actually sounds convincing was half the fun.
Peace through power!
Tearing down the mystic
Find the steel-hard truth
Through flames we'll see and purify
Rip out superstition's roots
Not will alone nor cleverness
Not just ingenuity
We owe our lives to those passed through
The rite of the machine
In the Shadow of the Dreadnaughts
The Deepwright Nation thrives
Peace through Power
Power through progress!
Is how we live our lives
Those nobly gone Ascendant
Changed to serve the whole
More than the blood of deep sea monsters
Must fuel our nation's soul
Nothing more grand or glorious
Than to let go of your very self
We're all just fresh components
Here on the architect's shelf
In the Shadow of the Dreadnaughts
The Deepwright Nation thrives
Peace through Power
Power through progress!
Is how we live our lives
It's worth it, aren't you listening?
We're lighting up the night
Kids can play in safety
While the monsters rage outside
Through flame and steel we'll tame the land
Build a future for our kids
For them, no price can be too high
So come one and all, and give
In the Shadow of the Dreadnaughts
The Deepwright Nation thrives
Peace through Power
Power through progress!
Is how we live our lives
In the Shadow of the Dreadnaughts
The Deepwrights all will rule
It'd take the power of Hell itself
To make us feel like fools
In the Shadow of the Dreadnaughts
The Deepwright Nation thrives
Peace through Power
Power through progress!!
Is how we live our lives
In the Shadow of the Dreadnaughts
The Deepwright Nation thrives
Peace through Power
Power through progress!
Is how we love our lives
Power through progress!
