The title reminds me of a quote from Warhammer 40K "We are the great heirs of the Aeldari empire ! The stars once lived and died at our command !" "Once."
"We have seen enough. The children of Sol cry out for salvation. You promised them life, but deliver only death, as you have for so many before. Enough. Enough death. Enough life. You have no pieces left to place. The game is over. Do not be afraid. Your pale heart holds the key. This time... There is no escape." - The Witness
Almost three years after "Decline of an Empire - Reprise" was released, the last act has arrived. Love it. It would be incredible if you would eventually make a piece called "Rebirth of an Empire"
Every empire, every nation, thinks they will last forever. Every single one has been wrong. Rise and fall, fall and rise. Every nation is a piece of the cycle. You simply are another cog in this endless wheel. For you cannot change the nature of humanity.
No... We rise and fall... But " they" rulls ... They're immortal... Got technology... Got everything... They're masters we're the puppets. We need " MOCKINGBIRD" immediately... Read history And know how to tell the truth from the lie... The winner writes history... But the final is stil in ahead
"You gave into insecurity, I crushed it. You thought yourself a hero, I didn't mind being a villain. You think your saving lives, I already did. Don't you see, don't you realize... I gave millions homes, food, jobs... PURPOSE! My Empire was the real hero, going the places no-one dared to go and stopping at NOTHING to achieve victory. By tearing down my Empire, you're hurting the millions I saved... their safety, their security, their LIVES will vanish all because YOU had a hero complex. HERO? HERO!?! NAH... Go ahead hero... kill me... tear it down and spit in the faces of the millions of good men and women who believed in me. Who are you saving? Who are you? ...hehehe... Guess I'm not the most evil guy in the room eh hero?" -Emperor Ironside
Very nice music. It's ironic that Palpatine's Sith Empire was the most accomplished out of all other Sith Empires, yet it lasted a little over 20 years. Despite all Palpatine's power, despite all the armies and fleets and systems under his command, all it took was a rag-tag group of rebles to tear his Galactic Empire to shreds.
It was more like he destroyed his own Empire. He chose to keep corrupt officers around and a scared population because he believed all he needed was the Force. All it takes is one good officer with enough power. Palpatine considered Grand Admiral Thrawn to be his favorite strategist, but he would go against Thrawn’s suggestions. If he had given Thrawn the same power as Tarkin and Vader, the Rebellion would’ve been crushed in its infancy and the Imperial Armed Forces would be fanatically devoted and united.
OK...I just finished the you new album INFRA. You pitched a perfect game. Not much left to be said. Thank you! I will wear this one out listening to it. You have managed to creep inside your loyal listeners heads and pull out all the reasons we love your music. Then you crafted a seven song Master Work. I salute you !!!!!
Love your work on pieces such as this, always loved the villain and/anti hero theme each of them have given. And idea to give out, imagine a dark militarized rage ambience theme slowly hearing it remain tense bass before it spikes into a blaring rage hinted with a past filled with a vengeful broken soul.. i know its specific but its just an idea i thought id give out from a scene of a book antagonist i got.
"You had every opportunity to get this right. You had every resource and more than enough time. And you knew. You knew exactly what you should have done. "But you didn't want to do the hard things. You didn't want to upset anyone or admit you were wrong. You didn't want to disrupt 'the economy.' You chose to 'stay the course.' Even while the truth was staring you in the face. "You paid off the people you should have arrested, and arrested the people you should have been paying. You knew what they were doing and you still listened to the wrong people. And not once or twice but constantly. "I would say you led your people to ruin, but you never even led them, did you? You were led, in a mathematically predictable fashion, to your demise. You saw it coming. "You had every opportunity. And you didn't take one."
Yo Greg, I was wondering if Final Form will someday be released, one of my favorites tracks from yours, i would like to buy it! Let us know! Now i will enjoy this album 🙏🏻 thanks for your music
"I was made to fight, to destroy, to end things...now I am nothing. Everything iv built has fallen, relegated to ashes..what makes you think I will go easily?" The mad king readied his sword staring down the man who destroyed everything he lived for. "I know you wont..but I can't let you escape...father.." The son readied his sword as well as the castle toppled around them.
Yes we were gods once brother . Once our empire was great and our armies legendary. But now it is over . Debochery, degenerecy, internal fighting and weak man led to the destruction of what we have build. But don't worry or empire might have fallen but our glory will be eternal. Those who will come after will remeber our names, our flag ,our victorys. And with them in history those who come after will try to replicate us. It is our legacy. It is this way Brother that our empire will be eternal. Ps: Sorry for the wrighting fault . I am French.
It's funny how Palpatine build his empire, only to become together with Vader and Tarkin its undoing. At the end of the day the Empire had only one saviour. His name was Thrawn.
