Fallen Lyrics
Alone I walk, among the twisting
shadows
tempted by the ancient magic, the Power
of Five
My desire to mirror my own image -
and I will offer you no soul - offer you no
soul
Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Symmetry divine, there's no force greater
Dividing the Fathers of Time
Feel my hate, I'm banished to this
wasteland
my Serpents plot the overthrow of your
temples and shrines
In the night, my army's rage and fury
burning my
shadow into the land - Vengeance by my
hand
Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Symmetry divine, there's no force greater
Dividing the Fathers of Time
Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Paradise denied - the balance of ages
forever lost in time
Was I sure of my fateful wish to evoke
the night from the day?
Thousands now join as one - be afraid
What have I done? Clouds are dimming
the Sun with his wrath of disease and
decay
This masque of vengeance leads my
death parade
What have I done?
"My shadow burning - my shadow burns
across the land...".
Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Symmetry divine, there's no force greater
Dividing the Fathers of Time
Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Paradise denied - the balance of ages
forever lost in time
"...and there was a need for balance, the
coming of Ma'at.."

Great song :)
part 2 of new mythology suite
This song introduces the embodied essence of destruction and chaos, Montu Sekhmet. He is the 'leader' among the 'demons' created by the power-drunk Atlanteans. He longs for the might and magic of the Atlanteans--the metaphysical Power of Five (in my personal opinion, some reference to chakras, sephirot, or a similar concept). He also feels deep hatred for the Atlanteans for casting him out for his taint (unclear whether he feels comradery for his fellow 'demons', or if he simply rallies them as a means to his desired end). He recognizes himself as the metaphysical counterpart to the balance desired by Ptah Khnemu and perhaps the Atlanteans culture in general (IDs himself as Ptah's counterpart and his army as that of the Atlanteans?). This seems more along the Hindu/buddhist lines of duality theory / ying-yang; however since the two leaders and their people are the personification of these concepts that adds the christian good-evil twist (vengeance and fury...). Perhaps the human-side of Montu is why he shows obvious guilt and remorse for the storm he has summoned--despite his deep sense of justification. "...and there was a need for balance, the coming of Ma'at.." The quote for this song brings in the next; a christ-like child comes in the world who's purpose seems to be keep the world from falling into total oblivion.
