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 "Monolith" below.

2. Monolith

A group of Mayans eager to gain the glory of exploration enters a cave that leads inside the monolith. They’re afraid of what could be inside but they swallow their fear, surrendering to their excitement. They hear voices calling them downwards and they follow them as they trot down. Their presence begins to awaken the malice within the center of the monolith as they continue to tread downward.

lyrics

Monolith

Into the darkness of this cave, I go
Onwards to glory, for a chance to prove my name
Entering oblivion, welcomed by the obscure
Voices calling from the depths an assertion of the dammed

Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go
To discover the unknown
I’m leaving behind all my doubts all my fears
And the ones that I hold dear

Tauntingly the whispers echo on walls of stone
Hauntingly the body will drift forward on its own
Entering this underworld my composure slips away
Somethings hiding in the depths waiting for its careless prey

Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go
To discover the unknown
I’m leaving behind all my doubts all my fears
And the ones that I hold dear

I’m following onward and into the deep
Something I thought my eyes wouldn’t see
No one to hold, no one to relieve
The fear in my heart I receive

Awaken the malice from within
An evil forged in vengeance
A hatred sealed away by spiteful forces
Mend severed nerves
Of an ancient mind designed for chaos
Restore the power to the kingdom of primordial gods

Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go
To discover the unknown
I’m leaving behind all my doubts all my fears
And the ones that I hold dear

Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go
Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go
Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go
Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go
