Track 12 of Chapter VIII: In Which The Symmetry Is Restored Once More

Disclaimer: the words are merely a read-along to their respective songs, acting as a poetic telling of the true story

lyrics

A loud cranking rings out
from below the castle,
and we rush out
to the main square.

Gears turning in circles,
buildings and structures rearranging
into a new plain,
relentlessly changing.

I recognize the throne
from the beginning of this journey
that was long forgotten,
sublime and dusty,
joining the one from the castle,
becoming a unity.

New homes sit empty
as the gears complete their mission,
waiting for inhabitants
and their admission.
And from behind the central throne
of gold and stone,
the Guardian shimmers
into a new form.

Dressed in celestial winds
of stars and glowing veridian leaves,
this man takes his throne humbly,
and calls to me.

Talking of pride in what I've accomplished,
he hands me a key
of flora and wood,
ingrained with a carving
unfamiliar to me.

But, I sense serenity and beauty
from the strange glyph,
and know it's of the Virgin,
and head to the end of a cliff.
Beyond is the space I know so well,
and I float up and on,
wishing all farewell.

At the top of the glass dome
surrounding this place
is a door of stardust,
flowers and bamboo
leading to a new space,
one I never knew.

I turn the key
and step into light...
