about

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 "The Deep" below.

3. The Deep

As the group reaches the center of the monolith, they start to discover treasure and gold. Excited by prospects of fortune and fame, they start grabbing all the treasure they can to bring back up. They notice corpses of bodies next to the gold chalices they collect which unsettles them, but they continue on collecting. Talking amongst themselves, they theorize that this treasure may be cursed and could be a bad omen for them. Blinded by greed they tread deeper and deeper into the monolith to find more fortune.

lyrics

The Deep

Entering in the deep
I find myself in awe at what I see
Treasure abundant
A fortune that will favor every need
I know it’s wrong but
I see this vision in every dream
Destiny beckons
I hear it’s voice, I hear it calling me

I’ll brush the cobwebs away
Taking golden goblets from their place
Right next to corpses
That are rotting over growing colder
This graveyard of souls haunts me
I know my intrusion’s cursing me
I feel a difference in the air
There’s something pulling stronger, pulling me

(Whispers beckon the minds of fools)
Searching for treasure unfound
(They’re lured by wealth to a fate so cruel)
Destiny calling aloud
(Into the deep of the monolith)

Suspicion of deception
The temptation overwhelms my sensibility
Something doesn’t feel right in my bones
I know because I feel it’s presence coming after me
And in the cold air, I hear sounds like breathing
Somethings coming from the cracks inside the walls
I know it might just be my mind
After all this time it was me who I heard calling me

(Whispers beckon the minds of fools)
Searching for treasure unfound
(They’re lured by wealth to a fate so cruel)
Destiny calling aloud
(Into the deep of the monolith)

In to the deep, I will go
Searching for gold and treasure unfound
Discovering tombs and graves of ancients
As they guide the way, I’ll follow their maze

In to the deep, I will go
Searching for gold and treasure unfound
Discovering tombs and graves of ancients
As they guide the way, I’ll follow their maze

Into the deep, I will go searching for gold
Into the deep, I will go searching for gold

Destiny beckons me
Destiny beckons me
