If you notice in the 3-song progression (Muramasa, Ragnarok, Masamune), the common lyrics change from
"Somewhere in time
we welcomed in the fall
But in the distance we can see shining clear
Our demise to be
We're not listening
to ourselves"
to (in Ragnarok)
"Somewhere in time
we welcomed in the midnight leave
But in the distance we can see shining clear
Our demise to be
We're not listening
to ourselves"
to (in Masamune)
"Somewhere in time we welcomed in the fall
now in the distance I can see shining clear
our demise to be
we're not listening
to ourselves"
Have you noticed that in Muramasa he says "WE can see," yet at the end of Masamune he says "I can see?" This is literally a trilogy about someone watching the world end and all of his family and friends die, and then slowly loses his mind at the end of Masamune. That screaming in the background, where you can make out the words "I CAN'T F***ING TAKE IT" and "GET AWAY FROM ME?" Schizophrenia? Paranoia?
