**NARRATOR:**
Here begins a tale
About a journey towards salvation
Not by mercy or ascetism
But through earthly liberation
It starts in a great town
Where a young man did dwell
His people in enslaved
Toiling day after day

He, himself was a servant
Born from a sick and dying mother
Cleaning great halls all day
Never even knowing his father

**ION:**
Oh, what do they mean?
These tales of forests, mountains, rivers and borders?
What lies beyond this city's quarters?
What lies beyond these great walls?
What is this "freedom" other slaves speak of?

**NARRATOR:**
And so the young man awoke, in the dead of night
Looking at the guard of his cell, asleep in the moonlight
His key was just within the reach
Then did, his cell, the young man breach!

**ION:**
Running through the halls
Past all these other souls
Some asleep or broken and wrought
But none of them dare to make a sound
It's time to scale up these walls and become unbound!

[[/collapsible]]

[[collapsible show="2. From the Urals, Towards the World" hide="-"]]

**ION:**
Out in the wilderness is my new home
Without priestesses or masters, alone
But soul cries black 
My eyes weep red
For my kin's still enslaved,
In the deva's pit
Forlorn my hope, at an end my wit
I need assistance, from above
To give my people their peace and love


**NARRATOR:**
With spirits high and his hopes higher
The young man ascended up a mountain's side
In search of a being of infinite might
For he knew the highest god couldn't dwell down below
Otherwise, he would have already defeated his foe

**ION:** 
I call on to thee, tell me what will suffice
What kind of devotion and what sacrifice?
For you to come down from the celestial abode
To free my people and bring them hope

**NARRATOR:** 
And as he called, so did the skies split
And from a rift, appeared a great beast
With thousands of eyes, in which was not love
With a body of a snake and maw of a lion

**VAŽJUMA:**
Who is thy, who calls for my name?
Tell me, human, for what do you aim? 
Looking for mercy, from the sky
You do this-why?

Know, that this world was arranged
What it is, won't change
No matter what pieces you exchange
Tell my, why is your request so strange?

**ION:**
I cannot believe my ears 
You made this world, as it is?
The suffering, hierarchy and ills
Was designed just like beautiful hills
Tell me, oh, what is the reason
For a society full of death and treason?

**VAŽJUMA:**
Know, I am the sum of all
Which was created, man or god
The one who made the limits so this order will not fall!
This world, static, is right
A class must always rise
While others are pulverised!
This is the will of me
The highest divinity
From now unto infinity

**NARRATOR:**
But the young man stood defiant, looking straight at its face
His lips parted, and with confidence, he said

**ION:**
Then I reject this space!

[[/collapsible]]

[[collapsible show="3. Seven Beasts" hide="-"]]

**VAŽJUMA:**
Every being exists inside
The boundries defining the world of mine
And me unending and unfound
So what exits, be confined, bound
For that, my beasts uphold the sky!
They bear no faces, names or signs
Call them as archons, whole parts of my might!

**NARRATOR:**
The young man found the mountain below him dissapear
A realm of deserts and temples, did appear
Confused, his gaze on the red sky, will still not bent
The man realized realized what this world was, the Nevermeant

**ION:**
Is this the true underworld? 
Where souls are fed, then spat above?
I see great beasts, coming from great distance 
Are these the forces who regulate existence?

**FIRST ARCHON:**
I am every single thing
Which you may call as "it"
I sculp the mountain peaks
And bring floods to purge the weak
In every river and rock I am found
I have created all ground
And every rock, a burial mound

**SECOND ARCHON:**
I am all, which is beyond
Limitations of the world
The "abnormal" and "unknown"
Miracles, they can be called!
I control magic, so those
Whose minds our lord knows
Are arrows pointed at our foes

**ION:**
Oh beasts of no faces, I can now tell
In every aspect of the world you do dwell
But why descend upon me this knowledge, so great?
While you can just smite me and be done instead?

**THIRD AND FOURTH ARCHONS:**
Oh, you will see very soon
Why we did not bring you doom
Now comprehend us, all life
Of animal and plant design 
One upheld by your kin before
One holding the deavite throne
Know that life is not meant to last
Every must and will pass
Mold and death spread vast
This is how life works and must

**NARRATOR:**
Though he felt pain, he did not fall and weep
Rather, he stood tall, remaining at his feet
For these forces, though they scared him to his core
He came too far, he couldn't abandon his goal
And just then, he felt a headache, in his mind rise
And a new force had appeared, and spread his brain apart

**FIFTH ARCHON:**
I am the one that limits thought
In your head, you can comprehend me not!
For I am an idea, which is right
Defy me; loose your mind!

**NARRATOR:**
But despite a great pain, he remained upright
Holding his head in his hands, he looked again at the sky
This idea, entertain, he would not.
The next beast appeared, he knew this wasn't for nought

**SIXTH ARCHON:**
I am that which cleanses soul
My domain, this realm, not your own
For all things which die, return to the world
The snake bitting itself, sucking memory and word
This cycle, oh, you shall not escape!
For the balance of the world, would dissapate!

**ION:**
These are the forces, that I comprehend
Having created the world of matter and spirit, in your way
But I still as you, why this all must be? 
Why put these limitations on humanity?

**SEVENTH ARCHON:**
Oh young man, I tell you, why
Hierarchy must be in place, or the world will fall down
For they uphold wills from outer world
Which need subjects to rule over, empires to mold
For what is a servant, without master up top?
A purposeless fool. Free, but to do what?

**NARRATOR:**
And with that, the beasts became silent, Ion again alone
But not for long, as on the hirizon, a great being again arose

**VAŽJUMA:**
Now, that you have seen the structures of my force
Entered the realm, of death, life, magic, and thoughts
You shall submit and slain yourself for daring to rebel
Or admit your defeat, return and remain a slave!

**NARRATOR:**
And the young man, looked up at the creature, a millions miles in height
Held his fist, raised his hand, and exclaimed:

**ION:**
You are no god of my!

[[/collapsible]]

[[collapsible show="4. Four Great" hide="-"]]

**NARRATOR:**
As he opened his eyes, he found amiss
Back on the mountain, he looked down at his fist
For this act of defiance, telling "no" to a god
Showed his strength was unlimited, his power broad
He could sculp his fingers as he did saw fit
Into pure muscle, with claws at their tips
But oh, this potential, was not just in him
For whoever rejects the god, powerful can be

**ION:**
I see the truth now, the way of this world
Of god and its seven faces, "archons" called
In this reality, we can only save ourselves
For those above prefer suffering and death
But the power to do so exists within all man
Every single person, no matter where found

But in the distance, who is that I see?
A pariah with a stitched face, what happened to thee?
Come to me, weak one, I will mend your tear
I can grant you great power, just explain to me

**NADOX:**
I, who knew mind's eye
Suffering, have found
For I preached, about the might
That exists in all mankind
But the Deavas, wicked
Bestowed on me, punishment
Doomed to wander, forever lost
With scars on my body, across

**NARRATOR:**
So Ion took Nadox into his wings
Healed the man and discussed all kinds of things
Stories of people, far from here, who revolted
Of human power, by godly restrains unbolted
Ion found himself in love with this sage
But then a new figure had entered the stage
A women dressed in robes, of a Deava priest
With symbols of a city state from the east

**LOVATAAR:**
So here I stand, my journey comes to an end
Having murdered my family, renounced my dieties name
Only natural I would die by blade of a slave!

**NARRATOR:**
But Ion didn't strike her, for he could see in her reason
She was a Deava, but one that's guilty of treason
He could see her tear up, drop down to her knees
So he lifted her up and said words these

**ION:** 
Cease your lament, I'll make you whole
For your mind is filled with hatred but with love; your soul
I proclaim to thee, you have a new role
In the new world, those like you, shall reap and sow

**NARRATOR:**
Having shed the mind's curse, overcome with joy
Her mental chains, the two helped destroy
Seeing all as equal, the potential of mankind
And with infinite power of the flesh and mind
So the three settled down and planned their next scheme
As without tactics or armies, Deava still reigned supreme
So the word of their crew had started to spread
Inspired by their deeds, new force peaked its head 

**SAARN:**
With this knife, I destroyed
The masters of old
The family under which I toiled
The hatred in me boiled
For years of abuse I endured!

May the blood be spilled once more
By other slaves to come
To pain, I won't ever be numb
Oh, my souls yearns for blood!

**NARRATOR:**
And so, this great assassin, did Ion soon meet
After she torn her master's bone and blood and meat
Though most would be disturbed, he embraced her in his arms

**ION:**
The greatest revolutionary I have found!
Together we shall slaughter those who hold us down
Drink the blood of tyrants, with their guts then paint the town

Now we only need an army, with a great chief at its head
One which even the gods will surely dread
But oh, who will take upon this great task?
To carry out into the lights, past this eternal dusk?

**OROK:**
I arrive at your feet, gladiator in past 
For I knew my senseless killing could not last
For a great fame I had gained, but did not feel pride
Sacrifices to god, they never felt right
So I leave them behind, and join your row
To overthrown those above and those below!

[[/collapsible]]

[[collapsible show="5. Returning, Sword in Hand" hide="-"]]

**ION:**
Now, at city gates we stand
Flesh, knife, mind and sword in hand
Against the empire of the damned
Time to liberate our land!
So may this war be the last
Paradise create, we must
Grind the tyrants into dust
Humanity's spear, we thrust!

**NARRATOR:**
As the five attack, the people takes their side
Under Orok's banner unites a new tribe
Of people who once slave in their land
Who now burn the palaces of their tyrants!

**OROK:**
May the despots fear our power
Be they of Man or The Devourer
I command all of thee
To break their skulls, become free!

**NARRATOR:**
And so the battle, through day and night did they wage
Then, as morning came, Saarn would brake the last cage

**SAARN:**
I strike in the heart this town's last matriarch
May her blood, forever, the floor of her temple mark
With a twist of the blade, this battle do I end
The fate of my people, I finally amend!

**NARRATOR:**
And so in the morn' the battle came to its end
To the boot of despots, our heroes did not bend
Flags unfurled, began their reign
Pain and sacrifice, not in vain

**LOVATAAR:**
For freedom is the destiny of all
Across the earth, may they hear our call
Multiply, replicate, inherit the word
In disease or health, without mortal thrall

**ION:**
Wait not for mercy from the sky
But spread your wings and fly
With this power you shan't die
Forces of evil, do defy
All their practices decry!

**NADOX:**
Know the true reality
Embrace equality
Reject the duality
Of the flesh and of spirit

**ION:**
So sculp the flesh and bone
Reject the despot's throne
May the way, all man unite
Be they of plains or heights
To all that know of me
I say, fight and be free
I command this by the decree!
Bring to people peace and bread
To your goal you shall be lead
Not with God, but against!

**ION & THE KLAVIGAAR :**
And as the creators meat, we sever
We proclaim: Adytum shall last forever
