Bal-sagoth Epilogue Lyrics

Epilogue Lyrics

[XERXES:]

Such devastation, master...

A mighty civilization
destroyed in the blinking of an eye...

decimated by the madness of a
rogue demi-god...



[ALTARUS:]

Indeed, my young apprentice.

Ancient Mu was annihilated utterly...

cast to the same shark-haunted
grave as would

one day embrace Atlantis, Lemuria...

and even proud
and noble Hyperborea.



[XERXES:]

And what became of the
treacherous one...

the Chaos-dog Zurra?



[ALTARUS:]

He
was consumed by his own darksome power, young Xerxes.

A splinter of his
consciousness was returned to the

prison beneath the Mare Imbrium,

while another echo of his being was dispersed

along the filaments of
the space-time matrix

to a period before the first battle in the War of
the Lexicon was even fought.

The primary facet of the black-hearted Zurra
was condemned

to a limbo of such unimaginable tortuous magnitude,

that it made the horrors endured by dread Angsaar himself

seem like
naught but a lover's caress in comparison.



[XERXES:]

Such
power as was wielded by Zurra corrupted his heart, master.

His quest for
the Lexicon was not a desire

born of the eternal search for cosmic
enlightenment,

but rather of a vain hope that such elucidation

would allow him to understand the horrors which blighted his own immortal
soul...



[ALTARUS:]

You may yet one day understand

the
intricacies of the sidereal web, young apprentice.

Come... the mists once
again cloud the great cosmic eye,

and the vista darkens for today.

But rest assured, my youthful neophyte...

there are many more stories
in this vast, eternal saga yet to be told...
