This is another story-driven song from Dystopian Fiction, telling another side of the same dark future. In war-torn Miami, now infamously known as the "Bleeding Sun", the powerful beings controlling the city needed an ally to protect their homes and control their citizens. This is the story of their ascended protector, who betrayed them all and became The Hunter. Much like the rest of the album this sets the stage for events still to come in Stargazers, and The Hunter's inevitable loss of purpose and sanity in No More Heroes. It's more of an anthem than some of the other songs in the story, as it symbolizes transformation and the choice to use great power to bring down its own unethical source.

Lyrics:
They have seen all the rage that's inside me
Said it makes me strong
In the core, lies the stairway to heaven
Where the gods have gone
Told they need a guardian
A sentinel of blood
I was given hope again
Behind the rising flood
So how can I embrace the power
Of flesh and this machine
I'll infect the system
Behind the scenes
Humanity's darkest hour
I will not run
And I can save the souls still under
This bleeding sun
I have walked lonely streets in the darkness
Citizens of dust
In the homes of the slaves I abandoned
Lies a chance for us
Metal parts and connection to evil
My virtual crown
I am part of the mind that destroyed us
Just to shut it down
Heaven incarnate
Army of one
In the beacon of darkness
Bleeding Sun
I will be
Running free
In the rapture
I will be their bane
When the flood
Comes to take
Back the city
I will bring the pain
For the seekers of absolution
I will set the stage
For our sons of the revolution
I will lead the way
More than a human
Army of one
God of the wasteland
The Bleeding Sun
Fully ascended
The key inside
Immortal angels
Destined to die
