Description
“Ballad of Imperial City” is a haunting spacefaring shanty sung from the dying breath of a rebel pirate captain. Once a scourge of the stars, he now faces his ship’s fiery descent amid the cold silence of the cosmos. Through verses of defiance and farewell, the song laments the fading age of freedom among the stars, where rogues, thieves, and dreamers once dared to sail beyond Imperial rule. Part eulogy, part battle cry, it captures the spirit of rebellion that endures even as ships fall and empires rise—a final toast to liberty in the endless void.
