lyrics

3000 years since the war
A complete xenocide
Mankind reflects on their actions
With a stain on their pride

A new religion has arisen
The speakers of the dead
Self-derision of their past decisions
Drives them forth to spread

But unbeknownst to the galaxy
The greatest priest of all
Is the sole destroyer of a species
Millennia ago

The Ender, destroyer, harbinger of bloodshed
Repentance for burdens far too great to be shed
The Speaker for the Dead

Hopping from one planet to another
Throughout the colonies
Each boost a jump into the future is his
habitual reprise

Generations age and pass around him
With each eulogy
On a mission to find a new home
For the Hive Queen

The Ender, destroyer, harbinger of bloodshed
Repentance for burdens far too great to be shed

Revival, salvation, all the worlds he has fled
The torture, unshackled, all the words he has said
The Speaker for the Dead
