Theme
A bonus track exclusive to the Meliora Redux special edition (2016), 'Zenith' is a six-minute composition that exists on the razor's edge between menace and softness. The track constantly threatens to explode into full apocalyptic fury but is repeatedly reined in before it breaks free—a musical representation of restrained chaos, suppressed violence, and the fragile equilibrium maintained within Meliora's dystopia.
Lyrics
We conquered the magic
We counted the stars
Deciphered the clockwork
Enacted this farce
Devoured by shadows
We cling to the light
Deluded by wisdom
The bringer of night
Now and for always
A perpetual rise
A fall of illusion
Your Zenith fades into eternity
Time will soon be gone
Night will turn to dawn
Winds come on strong
So help you god
Come unleashed
You're set free
A genesis captured
Ignited by truth
A martyr disraptured
A vision too soon
Devoured by shadows
We cling to the light
Deluded by wisdom
The bringer of night
Now and for always
A perpetual rise
A fall of illusion
Your Zenith fades into eternity
Time will soon be gone
Night will turn to dawn
Winds come on strong
So help you god
Come unleashed
You're set free
Saecula Saeculorum [8x]
Time will soon be gone
Night will turn to dawn
Winds come on strong
So help you god
Come unleashed
You're set free
