Peace Within the AllSpark
Transformers · Optimus Prime
The story in the song
This original Transformers requiem honors the memory of Peter Cullen by telling its farewell entirely through Optimus Prime and the world he helped define. As Cybertron falls silent, Optimus's final signal becomes a living spark, and the Autobots carry forward the compassion behind the command to be strong enough to be gentle.
The final chorus turns grief into resolve: Optimus's legacy is not another battle, but a million voices strong enough to be gentle.

Lyrics
'Til all are one...
Let every engine fall silent tonight.
Let every beacon burn blue through the dark.
A Prime has crossed beyond the edge of sight;
the AllSpark opens - one bright spark returns.
You bore the weight of worlds without a throne,
you stood between the helpless and the flame.
Your strength could bring the proudest tyrant low,
yet mercy was the measure of your name.
You taught us power need not harden the heart,
that the strongest hand can still be gentle.
Now every spark you guarded guards your light -
and no night can make it fall.
Rest now, Prime, your longest war is done.
Peace within the AllSpark, beyond every sun.
Though your final signal fades, your light lives on;
we will carry it - 'til all are one.
'Til all are one.
'Til all are one.
On Earth, on Cybertron, the watchfires glow;
even ancient cannons sleep tonight.
No rank compelled a single spark to follow;
we stood beside you, for your cause was right.
The Matrix flame may pass to other hands,
but what you taught us lives in every spark:
freedom is the vow for which we stand,
and strength becomes a shelter in the dark.
Who leads us when the great commander rests?
We, the sparks he taught to rise.
Who speaks when his final signal fades?
A million voices rise:
'Til all are one!
Rest now, Prime, your longest war is done.
Peace within the AllSpark, beyond every sun.
You were more than battles, more than victories won;
you made us strong enough to be gentle.
So let a million sparks become your dawn -
we will carry on - 'til all are one.
No spark is lost
when its light lives on.
Optimus Prime -
'til all are one.
