Years ago, chaos cut through this atmosphere. The fractured worlds that inhabit this space were once locked in a force of uncontrollable destruction. Gravity was lost. Their planetary trajectories conjoined in one catastrophic collision, choking to remain viable even as the dying glow of their cores peek through the cracks and scars of those impactful moments. Yet a gasp is a sign of life and the planets that many might have cast off as annihilated space continued to show a pulse across the hopelessness. This discarded earth is still very much alive…and made profitable by the 5 Houses of the Star Supremacy, an elite society who looked to the sky and saw potential in the wasted planets. The opportunistic approach could hardly be considered an act of empathy for the human condition, as the decision to convert the dying planets into private prisons meant another type of life sentence awaited those shipped off to their remote reaches. Here, the desolate and derelict would burn away slowly, trapped in a race to death with the very ground they stand on. In this space, between the Well and unknowing.

Our Story Starts there. Into our future, yet far beyond our past. In a romance between a pair of Unheavenly Creatures.

Weaving through the blacked out space toward the freckling of cracked planets, The Gavel moved like a funeral procession. In many ways, it was the end of life for the two prisoners being transported within its unmitigable walls, to the most deplorable and prized of the doomed prisons, known simply as The Dark Sentencer.

Lyrics:

Here

Emotions behold

You’ve entered a hell

Where the devil is made of gold

Please

Don’t run your mouth

The questions before

Have no place in his haunted house

Reveal your selfish pleasure

One more time round for good measure

In the answer you hold

Time would be better off

If our souls had been sold

Here where the light only dies to remember

In the place where the blind truly can see

Hear my voice

Dearly Departed

I beg on my knees

It's been my pleasure

To serve your disease

Welcome Home

Shed your skin

And expose your bones

Take my hand

And follow us into the black

So far that we can’t get back

Here

Dig me a grave

And toss in the lives

That you can’t be bothered to save

With their blood on your hands

You enjoy the sun while you shit in the purest sand

Kiss your lover with that filthy mouth

You fucking monster

Here

As evil now gropes

It’s caught us off guard

With its hands reaching for our throats

There’s no telling when the truth is clear

Pay it no mind

Lines were drawn for us, for all sides

In the afterglow

Echoes of time unfold

Give me your word my dear

And promise you wont let go

It’s a shame, I fear

From end to start

We walked their lines

Born to play the fucking part

I fear we got all we had wanted

Close your eyes and believe it didn’t happen

Now shut your mouth beyond your lies

A world knows to stay away from you

The blood you let run

They march as you lead

We laugh in the sun

Maybe that’s all we need

I’m sorry you can’t escape

Here where the light only dies to remember

In the place where the blind truly can see…
