lyrics

i. Melody of Unknown Significance

This album is meant to be sort of a pseudo-live album and represent a performance. In a more curious line of research, the Kingdom of Lavu finally unearth the original "Serenade for the Dead" composition, by a long-since dead musician who has never been named. Given that the composition is considered a fundamental piece of Lavu's history, all six movements are quickly scheduled to take place at the Opera House in Blueheart, with even the Supreme Leadership in attendance. After the orchestra warms up, the first three pieces are played. Midway through the performance, the Supreme Leadership attendees leave. Samuel Cathrop has reportedly been captured. After a brief pause, the orchestra picks up where it left off and plays the remaining three parts. Strangely enough, the rain from outside begins to become increasingly audible through the opera house walls...

Movement descriptions - (Serenade for the Dead was written in the context of a story.)

I: Stormbringer - A simple pizzicato piece, meant to be used as an intro. Demons rise from the ground to destroy humanity.

II: Psychosis - Erratic percussion represents humanity's fear, as well as the inability to resist temptation.

III: Serenade For The Dead - A doomy piece meant to represent humanity's desperation for the wisdom of those passed away.

IV: Stone Face - Humanity is blessed with courage, and does away with their cowardice.

V: Perpetual Autumn - Time begins to stop for the decaying Earth. The living reunite with their dead loved ones. The ocarina in this track represents both the living and the dead ascending to heaven to be together forever.

VI: Goetia - The demons fade away as the Earth is left behind for a better world beyond.

Creator had known about our plans for a while after we had set them in stone as our life-long goals. We knew this when Keshka disappeared. He had been locked away in prison, but we didn’t realize that at the time. Meanwhile, a melody that Creator had been searching for came into the public eye for the first time.
