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.
