Communion and the Oracle Lyrics
Balance lost between the Moon and Sun
Hear out prayers - Keepers of the Skies
Divine
Upon us all - let your wisdom shine
in us all we are searching for a reason,
a need to calm the storm
In our sails - let your winds be strong
The oceans fill your veins and winds
embrace your heart
Feel the change within you
The Sun and Moon align - The Grand
Design awaits a new start
Through the clouds tainted crystal blue
"Such advancement, yet lacking the
control,
so unaware of your earthly roles"
rhyme
A sacred gift - Magic of the Five will
bring you tranquillity
A new order of equality
thrive - Five nations unite - Unite as
one
Night and Day will find a way to keep
the Balance true
Let the Sky and Stars be your guide -
the destination is up to you
Feel the essence of Time
Changing ways like the shifting tides
In the waves hear the Rhyme
part 3 of new mythology suite (not counting the wordless 'transcendence' that comes before--which perhaps refers to the spiritual essence of balance coming into human form.
This song deals with the arrival of the prophetic child Ma'at. She appears to be of a much 'higher' nature than the Atlanteans, if not Ptah Khnemu as well. She speeks of the Atlanteans ignorance from a 'heavenly perspective' (from the skies, looking down on you...); she wishes to re-establish balance by the "power of five", a concept introduced in Evolution. The magic of five is connected to the 5 human senses, and five unknown nations(?). Instead of seeking to obliterate darkness, she seems to recognize it as a necessary part of existence, and part of a cycle she sees as destined to begin anew (rise and fall of knowledge and civilizations?). This is where the difference arises between the necessary balance between ying-yang and the desire to let one dominate the other (which perhaps was what gave birth to the rise of Montu Sehkmet in the first place). "..unfortunately, not all were interested in the Ways of Justice, and those of the Night gathered to plot the elimination of the great Law of One and the death of Ma'at. The Atlantens harnessed the energy of the great Crystals to create a weapon of immense power, unaware that the power they possessed would ultimately lead to thier downfall..." The ending quote shows that Montu has no interest in peace, and goes to full blown war with the Atlanteans, who are forced to use their doomsday weapons.
Beautiful song and lyrics.
