Mithras Worlds Beyond the Veil Lyrics

That which lies beyond
Open your eyes, awaken your senses
This I show you, now you shall see
And it will change, your world forever

See to beyond
Past perception and physical senses

We shall fall into the worlds beyond the veil

Entranced by the turning vortex
Its visions of splendour entice me
But yet there are things
Which I do not know or have ever seen
A portal opens
I fall far, far down
Amongst the ones
Who call for me.

Behold! This being gliding with form
Yet no form
Transfixed yet horrified by this angelic enigma
Run! It senses us. It feels us
It's coming
Can it cross the worlds' divide?
Will we escape it?

Wait, there is more than this
Yes, there is terror beyond known terror
But all we have done
Must not be lost
We shall step into the light

I changed my drumming style on this record compared to 'Legions...', it's more unusual but also more technical. Obviously this track has the much talked about 300bpm kick section too, hehe. Another notable thing is the first use of the vast lead sound after the shredding lead near the end (3.20 onward), this is the first time on the record that this type of section appears (although we had similar sections on 'Legions...'), and it's become characteristic of my musical work since.
R: Conceptually the track 'Worlds...' brings the realisation that there are worlds beyond our own, worlds more evil and sinister and that something is breaking down the barriers between worlds to get to ours. The music represents the alarm and panic which would be involved with this realisation of this impending doom.
