about

This is the second song about a child soldier on the album. It is about Mikazuki Augus and the Barbatos Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam - Iron Blooded Orphans series

lyrics

I was a war orphan
Conscripted into a PMC
Forced to have three surgeries
To implant spinal circuitry
An enhanced child soldier
Expandable mechanized infantry
Until I found this ancient machine
Arise Barbatos, arise the new me

In this machine
I fight not for glory
But simply to exist
As reclaimed human debris

I am no longer just
My Alaya-Vijnana implants
I can face down any enemy
That would stand before me
The battlefield is where I prove I'm alive
To show I exist, before man and sky
I am no longer scrambling to survive
I have seen the light, now you must die

Now let the iron flowers bloom
Where the blood has been shed
Each grave a monument
That asserts my existence

The worlds see me as sub-human
An orphan meant to be a slave
I refuse to just know my place
I will not go gently
I have a circle who see my worth
Friends to die and to kill for
I'll become a demon for our sake
And burn out on my terms, not rot away

In this machine
I fight not for glory
But simply to exist
As reclaimed human debris
