The dust rises across the plain
As we make landfall
Dressed to kill, and kill we will
We have heard the call
We don’t play to win
Because war is not a game
But when the day is done
This world will know our name
(WE ARE)
Ground shakers
Storm breakers
(WE ARE)
Our broken world’s forsakers
(WE ARE)
Life takers
Unmakers
(WE ARE)
The Ion Legion
Born into a world whose skies
We’ll never see again
Slaves to the drums of war
All men will die on ten
You call us mercenaries
But to one another’s blood we’re bound
We’ll storm these ashen slopes
And bring the mountain down
(WE ARE)
Ground shakers
Storm breakers
(WE ARE)
Our broken world’s forsakers
(WE ARE)
Life takers
Unmakers
(WE ARE)
The Ion Legion
Smoke rises from the plain
As the tide it turns
Ashes fill the tyrant’s mouth
As his fortress burns
Thunder cracks the sky
And now comes the flood
The deed is done, the day is won
The price is paid in blood
(WE ARE)
Spine rakers
Bone breakers
(WE ARE)
This twisted throne’s unmakers
(WE ARE)
Earth quakers
Doom wakers
(WE ARE)
The Ion Legion
(WE ARE)
Ground shakers
Storm breakers
(WE ARE)
Our broken world’s forsakers
(WE ARE)
Life takers
Unmakers
(WE ARE)
The Ion Legion

Storm warning
But I can’t walk away
Turn my face to the wind
To face the dying of the day
Storm rising
Boiling over the sun
Mine is the loneliest number
And the number is one
Scream at the skies
But the rain it drowns the rage
Thunder shaking my heart
And shatters the cage
Static charge
Pressure’s low
I bite down the pain
and go...
Into the Eye
The Eye of the Tempest
Arrows fly
Out of the darkness
I’m in the Eye
The Eye of the Tempest
Do or die
Rise or forever rest
Storm raging
My world’s at an end
Slam my fist the ground
I’ll break before I bend
Turn to the skies
The vortex stares right back at me
Storms twisting my soul
And tearing down all that I can be
The chains are loose
Fighting free
Push though the pain
and see...
Into the Eye
The Eye of the Tempest
Arrows fly
Out of the darkness
I’m in the Eye
The Eye of the Tempest
Do or die
Rise or forever rest

We walk on
The broken mountain far behind
We follow the sun
Never knowing what we hope to find
What did you leave for us?
When you burned it down to stone.
What did you want for us?
When you left us here alone.
Ragged child kings and queens
Of a world of rust and sand
Barefoot rulers of nothing,
Heirs to the Wasteland
It’s a pale fire
That lights our path in the unknown
Down to the wire
We sing the the words we’ve made our own
What did you make for us?
With all the anger, blood and rage
What did you dream for us?
Relics of your ruined golden age
The mountain’s shadow on the earth
Is the the shadow of your hand
Your only legacy is us
Heirs to the Wasteland
We leave the ruins behind
and follow the sun

Ion Pulse Sydney, Australia
Ion Pulse is a synthwave project, born from a love of the music and films of the 1980s; from Mr. Mister to Megadeth, from
Teen Wolf to The Terminator.
Our upcoming release in July will return us to the slopes of Snake Mountain, last seen in our EP "The Warlock Of Snake Mountain" in 2018.
Stand by for further orders, Ion Legionaries.
