The Age of wonder
Celestial collectivist,
Urskek minds once sought uncoupling
The dark egress from light
Pariahs in their making
The heart of Thra
Crystalline vociferous
Greater, Rose and dying sun
Beckon forth their conjunction
Carven mountain, crystal womb
Triangulated ritual
And gleefully beneath the eye
Eighteen souls now cut in twain
Gentle Urru, natures whim
The healing melodic seraphim
And sand is drawn mnemonic
To transcribe their longing
The hard and twisted bodies
Their Harsh and twisted wills
Skeksis wither in their dominion
Forever sure of every error
When single shines the triple sun
What was sundered and undone
Shall be whole, the two made one
By gelfling hand or else by none
So beloved, Mother Aughra
Of the fever light in Urskeks falter
Visions cast in black penumbra
The cleaving and its desolation
An inversion of this rivening
Sought in Gruenak and Arathim
Sowed the seeds of great division
Where conquerers became exiles
Atop the circle {of suns} the dual glaive {forged}
Within, the shard might serve as Nostrum
Garthim borne of corrupted flesh
To scour all in Skeksis step
Every moment one are two
Is too terrible for one

Trial by stone
Who shall rule?
Basking in the desiccated
Corpse of former emperors
Each as unscrupulous
As the last!
Here now the fawning scientist,
The ritualist and gluttony
The slaver, ornamentalist
Scribe and treasurer
Step forth oh treacherous Chamberlain!
Whose winsome tongue has licked
And poisoned every offered chalice
Garthim Master! Brute of Thra!
Whose exoskeletal troops
Bled the world of Gelfling blood
From which the victor shall be quenched
Trial by stone!
Ashen effigy of Skekso,
Forfeits his right to bestow
Banished, will the vanquished be!
Stripped and humiliated!
Podling slaves!
Raise the Haakskeekhah!
And brandished in withered hands
The blades that shall determine
Who shall rule
Trial by stone!
A gnarled forgery
Mockery!
Of greater
Perfect!
Crystalline
To crack a fate
Render!
Of our own form
A ritual of harm!
Of reassurance
Oh simpering Skeksil fails and flails!
Rend him of his stature
Cast into the terrible world
Where fortune favours nought
SkekUng upon the throne
And all shall rally around
In the age of wonder
The dark is made incumbent.
Trial by stone!

Prophecy
Septuple circles
Of seven Gelfling
Tracing starlight
Divinations of dream fasting
Destinies in blood descending
Speaks through weathered edifice
Whispers cut in silica
Of healing beneath the great conjunction
Slain for little more
Than vanities and avarice
The Skeksis scouring devour
In search of deathless empire
Xaghniathanor spied
All but two
Safe from the Garthim
In the stead of the {podlings and } UrRu
It is held in the song Of Thra!
Raunips elemental error
To heal the crystal
And heed its call
Kira, lineage of Vapra
Jen the Stonewood child
Whose hand shall deal
The healing blow
‘With the shard restored
The three suns
Stood above the glowing crystal
And flooded it with light’

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you!

Crust with strings is a heartfelt and honest pairing. And the opening track Awoken is such a beautiful track, I can't help but listen to it on repeat.
