Prolouge Lyrics

In 2104, lithological excavations at the Fourth Mars Colony unearthed

an
artifact of unknown, seemingly non-human origin; an icosahedron of

an
unrecognized, non terrestrial metallic composition, inscribed with

strange, indecipherable sigils and glyphs.



After long months of
intense study, epigraphy experts on Earth ascertained

a tenuous parallel
between the unknown language on the icosaherdon and

certain obscure Aztec
hieroglyphics, and thus were able to extrapolate

a meaning from the
unearthly inscriptions.



The translation spoke of a legendary
repository of ultimate knowledge

known as the Empyreal Lexicon... a codex
of alien origin said to contain

incredible cosmic secrets; arcane words
and psionic waves of power which

were the keys to unlocking a network of
cerebral-transferrence portals

linking the myriad galaxies of the
multiverse, and also the means to

transcend the boundaries of the
space-time continuum, enabling corporeal

beings to travel between
dimensions and traverse at will the unknown

realms which lay between
universes, tapping into the limitless energies

which permeated the
sidereal fabric of the cosmos.



The translation of the Mars
icosaherdon also hinted disturbingly at a

great pangalactic conflict
which was waged over the possession of the

codex between the mysterious
cosmic beings who had appointed themselves

the keepers of the Lexicon and
some terrifying shadowy foe mentioned

only fleetingly in the alien
text.



The final battle in this cataclysmic power struggle was
apparently fought

in Earth's own solar system, and the Keepers of the
Lexicon, their power

depleted and teetering on the verge of defeat,
shattered the codex into

a myriad shards, scattering the fragments across
the star system in order

to prevent the secret
