Assorted Quotes
2,000 years ago... the Dark Knight Sparda, turned against his demon bretheren and took up his sword for the sake of mankind. Though despite his brave efforts in our names, I fear some have forgotten the truth of that great sacrifice. If the events of that terrible time were to reoccur, the fusing of both the demonic and human realms, we, weak humans, would have no means by which to oppose our submission. And so I ask you to unite! And pray that even if such a dark time of chaos were to revisit us, our gracious Savior would shelter us from the storm. Let us pray!

Lyrics
Shall Never Surrender
First Half (Also commonly called "The Time Has Come")
The time has come and so have I
I'll laugh last, 'cause you came to die.
The damage done, the pain subsides
And I can see the fear clear when I look in your eye.
I'll never kneel and I'll never rest, (Never Rest)
You can tear the heart from my chest. (My Chest)
I'll make you see what I do best,
I'll succeed as you breathe your very last breath.
Now I know how the angel fell. (Just kneel)
I know the tale and I know it too well. (Just bow)
I'll make you wish you had a soul to sell. (Soul to sell)
When I strike you down and send you straight to hell.
My army comes from deep within,
Beneath my soul — beneath my skin.
As you're ending, I'm about to begin.
My strength is pain, and I will never give in.
I'll tell you now I'm the one to survive.
You'll never break my faith or my stride.
I'll have you choke on your own demise.
I make the angel scream, and the devil cry.
Second Half (Only heard in the trailer and the credits)
My honored brethren, (My honored brethren,)
We come together (We come together)
To unite as one (To unite as one)
Against those that are damned. (Against those that are damned.)
We show no mercy, (We show no mercy,)
For we have none. (For we have none.)
Our enemy shall fall (Our enemy shall fall)
As we uprise (As we uprise)
To claim our fate, (To claim our fate,)
Now and forever. (Now and forever.)
We'll be together (We'll be together)
In love and in hate. (In love and in hate.)
They will see, we'll fight until eternity.
Come with me, we'll stand and fight together.
Through our strength, we'll make a better day
Tomorrow, we shall never surrender.

Lock and Load -Blackened Angel Mix-
Bring the fable from thy tomb
Sporadic doom as knights loom
Does clergy support this passion?
Pure wrath of the winged assassin
(A time of fate, your spite sooths
Untold stories of thy muse)
Hour is late as kingdoms unfold
Signs in disarray, you fight in loath
When your
Encore
Is your
Lit torch
Cues of silence spark the mastery
Knights revolt to demonic treachery
Can this seal be broken?
Has our fate awoken?
Who's this antichrist?
Judgement waits on the test of time
Welcome the thoughts of a coward's disband
'Cause now you're in the shadow of an angel's wingspan
Cleanse your cradle of filth
Discipline that I've instilled
Turn and face your sacrifice
As I revolve this lead of light
Immune to your parasites,
Except the hourglass that grains the time
Try to find the antidote,
Counting down towards the undertow
In my world where only time is feared,
Single handedly I draw your first tear
Sway strong to the truthful frequencies,
Spirits swim in the waves of history
Sporadic doom as knights loom
Does clergy support this passion?
Pure wrath of the winged assassin
(A time of fate, your spite sooths
Untold stories of thy muse)
Hour is late as kingdoms unfold
Signs in disarray, you fight in loath
When your
Encore
Is your
Lit torch
Cues of silence spark the mastery
Knights revolt to demonic treachery
Can this seal be broken?
Has our fate awoken?
Who's this antichrist?
Judgement waits on the test of time
Welcome the thoughts of a coward's disband
'Cause now you're in the shadow of an angel's wingspan
Cleanse your cradle of filth
Discipline that I've instilled
Turn and face your sacrifice
As I revolve this lead of light
Immune to your parasites,
Except the hourglass that grains the time
Try to find the antidote,
Counting down towards the undertow
In my world where only time is feared,
Single handedly I draw your first tear
Sway strong to the truthful frequencies,
Spirits swim in the waves of history
