Eye of the monolith is on all platforms now! You can check out the story behind each song below each track! See the story for "Gaze" below.

6. Gaze

As the Mayan approaches the center of the monolith the lights begin to become brighter and brighter. He reaches the central compartment of the monolith where bright lights appear to shoot out and blind in all directions. He stares into the center of the monolith and finds what seems to be a large ball of energy that almost looks like an eye. After staring intently he realizes that the eye is the energy from the souls of ancient primordials. He gets a strange feeling and realizes he is unable to look away. The eye is hypnotizing him and he has lost control over his body. He believes he is in the presence of greatness and must sacrifice his worthless soul to the eye of the monolith. In a split second the Mayan manages to look away and break free, he scurries away to try to escape the wrath of the monolith.

lyrics

Gaze

Your aura
Speaks volumes.
Your air is
Impervious.
My will to stay is torn by
My past errors,
My unfit nature.

And I’ve been holding on to the
Egotistic notions of my mind.
Holding you back from the
Things you are, the things that keep you alive.

(Fatal compromise)
And I would throw it all away
(Righteous sacrifice)
I can feel the harsh disdain
When I look into your gaze

Internally
I hear you
Your essence tantalizing
My being, my existence feeds
Your desire, your affection

And I’ve been holding on to the
Egotistic notions of my mind.
Holding you back from the
Things you are, the things that keep you alive.

(Fatal compromise)
And I would throw it all away
(Righteous sacrifice)
I can feel the harsh disdain
When I look into your gaze

Fear me
For I have immortality
Gaze into
The eye inside
Release the grip on your life
You’re mine

And I’ve been holding on to the
Egotistic notions of my mind.
Holding you back from the
Things you are, the things that keep you alive.

(Fatal compromise)
And I would throw it all away
(Righteous sacrifice)
I can feel the harsh disdain
When I look into your gaze
