[Lyric] Ατραπός (Spectral Lore)

Inside the gaping jaws of Apocalypse
To steal old treasure from the serpent's mouth

The Sentinel turns from stone to flesh this time
And descends into the realm of the material

Stripped from the armor of the theory
Thrown into the world of pure possibility
Not exiled but by own volition fallen

A baptism in shadow fire
To awake the Dragon within
To fight venom with venom
Victory the Way to Nether


For the blackened storm of the Devourers
Is rising to engulf the entirety of cosmos

Courage! Resistance!
A quest to rediscover the well of Power
Hidden and guarded by the few
Against the plight of the discouraged

Amidst deafening silence from the halls up high
Not to rebel is to be complicit
The Well of Power must be reconquered
From the teeth of the elite

~
That which emanates from the Whole
Desires to take its own form and attributes
To embrace multiplicity and expand infinitely

Yet also longs to return to the source
A war inside of us and amongst ourselves
The eternal dance of the cosmic drama
