THE UNDERSTANDING
The entire universe of characters & songs collected here takes place in one mind,
suspended in the narcosis brought on by the subconscious, the twilight sleep,
in order to create the space necessary to metaphorically comprehend and challenge
what lies ahead upon waking.
​
Ultimately your burden is born upon you.
While others may share your burden, or put themselves in your struggle,
you initiate the process everyday of knowing that day is the day to say,
'I am not'.
​
And that is when the shadow looms.
For if you can be not, and I can be not, and we can be not,
then is any of this real?
​
We understand that none of this is real.
​
Our reality is in it's own twilight sleep.
​
We are in the twilight, struggling to comprehend what is to come,
rising to become.
​
Telling ourselves what we want to be real.
​
And therein lies the 'hope',
​
The Dragon that never dies.
THE PROMISE
Promise that you will live.
Promise that you will smile.
Promise that you'll find peace...
Just a little while.
THE PLEDGE
Shall guard against the House of Despair.
Shall hold vows firm to the wandering.
Shall outspread arms for the reaching hands.
Shall offer dreams to all the falling.
THE SLOGAN
Rise to become!
