(A gong crashes. Synthesizers swell like a sunrise over a dark mountain. A military-style snare drum begins a steady march. Flutes and acoustic guitars weave together.)
We packed our bags in the velvet night Guided only by the pale starlight The map was written in a tongue of old Speaking of a future that cannot be sold. Step by step, up the jagged spine Leaving the world of men behind.
Oh, the Oracle waits! Beyond the iron gates! To see the truth you must pay the toll Of a weary heart and a wandering soul. Climb! (Climb!) Climb! (Climb!)
MOVEMENT II: The Vision (3:15 - 6:00)
Tempo: Slow, eerie, psychedelic 6/8 time Vibe: Pink Floyd-esque, dreamy, floating.
(The drums drop out. The music dissolves into strange, swirling noises and backwards guitar swells. A bass line walks slowly up and down the scale.)
(Vocals are heavily processed, sounding like they are coming from everywhere at once.) I looked into the glass black stone... I saw a king upon a bone-white throne... I saw the oceans turn to sand... I saw the future in the palm of my hand.
It wasn't war... It wasn't pain... It was just the silence after the rain. The truth is not a burning fire It’s the cutting of the wire. (Spoken Word) The Oracle said nothing. The Oracle... was a mirror.
MOVEMENT III: The Revelation (6:00 - 9:45)
Tempo: Fast, driving Hard Rock (160 BPM) Vibe: Explosive release. Pure energy.
(A drum fill that lasts for ten seconds. The electric guitars roar back to life, faster and harder than ever before.)
(The two guitarists trade lightning-fast solos. Left speaker, then right speaker, then both together in harmony.)
We broke the glass! We broke the spell! We walked through heaven and we walked through hell! The answer is the song we sing! The answer is the noise we bring! YEAH!
(The band locks into a heavy, stomping groove. The singer wails over the top.) OBSIDIAN! ORACLE! OBSIDIAN! ORACLE! (Big ritardando—slowing down to a massive, final crash)
(A single E-major chord rings out and fades... for a long, long time.)
