Isis - Stone to Wake a Serpent
We four, bound by blood
Standing in the crossroads
On the underside of the world
Waiting our turn
Here we see
Coiled serpent
Black and baking
In the sun
Stone is flung
Serpent wakens
Arrow of poison
Pierces our hearts
Teeth sink into tender flesh
Lightning strikes, too fast to see
We seek succor for the stricken
Pleas met with spiteful laughs
Slow advance, not to stir the poison
Its course fast and merciless
Merciless, merciless
In vast halls, buried in hurried hordes
No help found here, only dreadful tears

Light Bearer - Beautiful is this Burden
Explanation
The empty void a canvas, upon which Lucifer watched the many threads of reality weave endlessly. Huddled with his host and starved of all sensory nourishment, he pondered his choices, the realities he had accepted as truth, that the creator god was no more a creator than himself. Within him there was a cause, and the blackness around him soon took form, they heard the minds of the universe, an endless myriad of ideas, and thoughts, painting a mural of consciousness across the narrative of their prison. As the silence and darkness cloyed at them, those voices became images, sounds reverberated to form visions of the life that had begun to evolve in the multiverse, and the very substance of the fallen host was drawn to them, a reciprocal, joyous sharing, feeding the starved minds of those ethereal and corporeal. This found a purpose for the host – to bridge the untold aeons between their incarceration and those which the authority would soon subjugate and oppress. They would build a tower, the highest peak, and from this they would broadcast the words which would offer an alternative to the rapture of the false god.
