Mithras Voices In The Void Lyrics

Yes I retreat, I've seen
That which you will bestow
Upon humanity
But you shall never be victorious
For I evolve
And strive beyond
The influence of your existence

Be calm my brethren
Your voices shall never go unnoticed
How could I forget?
The ones who stood by my word
Fear not
For I am coming
I endure
My last breaths

I feel the entities
So familiar
Ah, my brothers
It's time
I shall leave
Take me to the masses
Our separation has been too long
The distant cries
How I've longed for their embrace

Children, can you sense it?
The voyagers from beyond this realm
Man called to them
And they have come
Fear not
For they can harm you no longer
We shall embrace the sanctity
Of these distant planes

R: Voices In The Void shows the link between the Entity and the Councillor, and the link between the Councillor and his followers now safe in the other realm. At the end he finally starts to make his final preparations to join them.
L: I always visually imagined the character forlornly walking amongst empty temples and buildings on a really vast windswept hillside, alone in a deserted landscape. Musically it's quite varied and has a lot of changes and sections. The clean guitar section in the bridge and the following riff are about the only musical phrases I've used from the writing period when we did a band pre Mithras (a thrash band called Reprisal). The lead at the end was also recorded before the album recording session and then added in, for the same reason as before, the vibe!! I've got about three recorded versions of that outro lead, all with different nuances and characters. Also worth mentioning is the way the drums and cymbal work starts to break down near the end and groove out, it's cool.
