Lyrics

Lux Æterna

Anticipation in domination
A sea of hearts beat as one, unified
Magnification, all generations
Approaching thunder, awaiting the light

Full speed or nothin'
Full speed or nothin'

Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeah

Exhilaration, frenzied sensation
Kindred alliance connected inside
Commiseration, sonic salvation
Cast out the demons that strangle your life

Full speed or nothin'
Full speed or nothin'

Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeah

Lux æterna

Emancipation kill isolation
Never alone for the feelings alike
Amplification lightning the nation
Never alive more than right here tonight

Full speed or nothin'
Full speed or nothin'

Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeah

Light it!
