lyrics

Part II

On expedition through the desert lands
In the light of the modern day sun
Diplomatic confrontation – a treaty broken
A test detected beneath the ground
- DENIED

The source of the outburst far beneath the sand
Hidden below a pyramid
Inspection begins – High-tech scrutiny
Pinpointing the force far below
- LEVELS: HIGH –

Instrumentation reading life forces
Deep in the Well of Souls
Automatic translation – a signal conversion
A readout on the screen –
- what does it mean?

Descending further through sacred corridors
On the walls are the histories of time
Mechanical eyes the first to see
Into the tomb of ten-thousand years
- WARNINGS INSCRIBED –

No control room located – no computers or men
Dust upon the lid of the tomb
The origin located – the source undetermined
An entity lies within!
- REVIVED –

Instrumentation reading life forces
Deep in the Well of Souls
Automatic translation – a signal conversion
A readout on the screen –
- See the face of a King –

“Who will stand with me against the seraphim?”
“I WILL…”

Automatic translation, a signal conversion
Something never seen before

Dreamt and left in the winter of 1986 by Gregory.
Resurrected by Adam, David, and Malachi in the winter of 2012
Two months before the end of the world, they say…
