Cover art for Key Entity Extraction IV: Evagria the Faithful lyrics by Coheed and Cambria

As Sirius is lying near death, his pulse and heart rate dropping, do to snuffing the match and not forcing Vic the Butcher out of his body. Vic is quickly taking over his body and killing Sirius' soul. As this happens All Mother detects an unidentified soul. This is the woman Evagria.

Evagria was a strong and compassionate woman in life, adopted three children from offworld, and always helped people. When she died or a rare and painful bone disease, she was surrounded by loved ones, and showed strength and love even at the moment of her death.

As such, she is a pure soul, and her versions of the Keywork is a colorful, peaceful utopia.

The bulk of this song is Sirius, lying in the embrace of Evagria. Evagria forces Vic out and erects a force field around them, so no other souls can get near him. He then reflects on his life with Meri. His pursuit of the Keywork, and leaving her behind.

He wonders whether or not, he'll find paradise like Evagria, or if his leaving Meri will be his dark defining moment, and make him like the previous souls he encountered.
