After the cataclysmic events that he blamed himself for theProphet threw himself into a centuries-long self-imposed exile where he relinquished himself to a lifestyle of meditation, simplicity, and denial. Receiving no visitors and only engaging in the most mundane of routines, living free of mental stimulation has left him in a state of perceived ultimate clarity. Visions of the “true nature” of this world, one of astral designs and spiritual influence, pour through him daily like a conduit of pure prophetic energy. Lost in a waking dream, he is both aware and unaware in a perfect state of Transcendent Bliss. But after many years in this dream, far too many to count accurately with such little material frame of reference, something changed. An awareness within the awareness was born, and a new line of questioning was brought forth (the first acts of defiant consciousness within, in far too long). No longer content in accepting his life of self-contained creation and mental non-exploration, it was time to step forth into the world and see finally what this life he was given was truly for.

lyrics
[theProphet]
We are living on an elemental shrine
The conduit for pure forms from above
The keys to the castle are slipping away
So we must take hold, and plot our escape
[Toothpinch]
Spilling blood on the sacred grove
Divine is the power you will behold
Angelic, not pagan of important defense
When in god’s name it’s not as contentious
Infamous yes, but application lay straight
Unparalleled sensational delights
Adapt not scheme and you will be christened
With the presence from the holy kingdom
[theProphet]
Caught in rapture, is this experience?
Our are we betrayed by expectations?
Instead of brilliance, just another perception
Brought by our own mental deception
[Toothpinch]
Spiraling upwards, onto Jacob’s ladder
Everything we once knew has been scattered
[theProphet]
You just don’t know it’s an expression
For a much murkier and higher power
Summoning recycled symbols
Breaking control, liberation theory
Right as we were about to take hold
This is what we call transcendental bias
[Toothpinch]
We could flick the switch on
Instead leave the blinders on
Fear convoluted by worship
