Lyrics - Epilogue by Bal-sagoth

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 wouldone 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 theprison beneath the
Mare
Imbrium,while another echo of his being was dispersedalong the filaments of the space-time matrixto a period before the first battle in the
War of the
Lexicon was even fought.
The primary facet of the black-hearted
Zurra was condemnedto a limbo of such unimaginable tortuous magnitude,that it made the horrors endured by dread
Angsaar himselfseem 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 desireborn of the eternal search for cosmic enlightenment,but rather of a vain hope that such elucidationwould allow him to understand the horrors which blighted his own immortal soul...
ALTARUS:
You may yet one day understandthe 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...
