Awaken! Your body rests, yet you wander
Awaken!
What is it that makes you writhe?
Great councillor
Unleash upon me your fear
You hesitate
Great terror hides behind your eyes
Bestow
Teach to me your learning's
Great one
Doubt grows heavy upon your brow
Brothers! I've seen...
I've seen the thing of greater terror
Fear, fear the words I am to speak
My dreams
Contaminated by this horror
Relentless, these visions I wish to bequeath
Voices! I hear their voices
Its calls flood into my soul
Unleashing this greater terror
It seeks...beyond my eyes
Yet I see not the seeker
Its screams brining me to my knees
The terror tears into my soul
I hear the singing. The beacon
Beckons this beast
It listens
It hears their calls
It's time!
My brothers we must realise
Evolve, we must now evolve
It's near, it comes
We need to reach the greater planes
Oh my brothers, it seeks us
This thing that comes ever closer to this earth
R: This song properly introduces the "Great Councillor" character in the lyrics who now moves on to tell his followers what he has seen and learned in his dreams. The song begins with him being woken from a dream by an alarmed follower who saw he was having a terrible nightmare. It also reveals that he has a psychic link of sorts with the coming Entity and can actually feel it coming towards Earth. Towards the end of the track the Councillor reveals what should be done to escape the coming destruction. The Councillor and his followers then decide to take the next step of evolution in the spiritual worlds - to pass to another world or plane beyond, something which is detailed more in later tracks.
L: Musically, this track actually took a long time to become as I intended, the feel never quite came together until we recorded it on the record, with all the extra guitar work and vocal patterns. The main lead section (2.03-2.32) was actually inspired by a strange place I've been to a few times, a deep quarry right next to the sea in Devon which is a pretty eerie place. When I was walking there I started humming the melody from the lead and that eventually grew into the song. When we recorded the vocals to this song in the studio, on playback there was a really strange resonance in the bass region on certain notes, and it made the track sound really different and cool. Sadly you needed to be in that particular room to get the effect!
