Prologue Lyrics

seemingly non-human origin; an icosahedron of an unrecognized, non terrestrial metallic composition, inscribed with strange, indecipherable sigils and glyphs.After long months of intense study, epigraphy experts on Earth ascertained a tenuous parallel between the unknownlanguage on the icosaherdon and certain obscure Aztec hieroglyphics, and thus were able to extrapolate a meaning fromthe unearthly inscriptions.The translation spoke of a legendary repository of ultimate knowledge known as the Empyreal Lexicon... a codex of alienorigin said to contain incredible cosmic secrets; arcane words and psionic waves of power which were the keys tounlocking a network of cerebral-transferrence portals linking the myriad galaxies of the multiverse, and also the means totranscend the boundaries of the space-time continuum, enabling corporeal beings to travel between dimensions andtraverse at will the unknown realms which lay between universes, tapping into the limitless energies which permeated thesidereal fabric of the cosmos.The translation of the Mars icosaherdon also hinted disturbingly at a great pangalactic conflict which was waged over thepossession of the codex between the mysterious cosmic beings who had appointed themselves the keepers of theLexicon and some terrifying shadowy foe mentioned only fleetingly in the alien text.The final battle in this cataclysmic power struggle was apparently fought in Earth's own solar system, and the Keepers ofthe Lexicon, their power depleted and teetering on the verge of defeat, shattered the codex into a myriad shards,scattering the fragments across the star system in order to prevent the secrets of the Lexicon from falling into the handsof their darksome nemesis.According to the Martian artifact, several fragments of the Lexicon were hidden on the third planet from the sun, the Earthitself.One fragment was secreted in ancient Atlantis, another in Lemuria. Further pieces of the cosmic codex fell to earth in Ysand eon-veiled Mu.Still further fragments of the Lexicon were said to have been hidden somewhere beneath the frozen surface of the bleakmoon Callisto, and on the other mysterious orbs Hyperion and Titan.Lastly, the alien artifact spoke mysteriously of something hidden beneath the cratered surface of Earth's own Moon.Ascertaining co-ordinates from the Mars icosahedron, an expedition embarked immediately from the Epsilon IV MoonBase and began to excavate the lunar sphere.Thus was a veiled warning unheeded, and no one could know what to expect as the machinations of humankind breachedthe ancient surface of the moon's Mare Imbrium....
