about

Solomon’s Gate - The secrets stored in the Atlas Ruinica allow Elise the opportunity to open a portal granting direct contact with the slumbering Eld’s consciousness and awaken it, granting her near limitless power but also potentially jeopardizing the entirety of the human race. While she is severely tempted to leverage this power to bring back her Uncle Carter and other loved ones she has lost, ultimately she decides that the information contained in the book is far too dangerous to be kept. However, the cosmic creators of the Atlas Ruinica cast a powerful spell of protection on the book when they created it, ensuring that it could never be reproduced or destroyed.
Knowing this, Elise uses the book to open the legendary portal called Solomon's gate. She walks through the portal with the book, effectively sealing her own fate but ensuring that the book will be erased from humanity forever.
“The weight of the Many” refers to the knowledge of the intertwined universes forming the mind of a singular conscious being
“This is the end of my story, We meet again, the sky has been emptied” references the chorus of track 1 as well as the closing line of track 2 (“I’ll meet you out where the sky is empty”)
The line “spiraling through the clouds” is a nod to our record Castle in the Clouds, drawing a parallel universe comparison between the protagonists

lyrics

Follow the call
And step beyond
‘Cause the gate is ready, it’s time to touch the light

Go
And ponder every life
You will grow to understand they intertwine

Then you say are you ready
Are you ready ‘cause the gate’s about to close
And it’ll swallow you whole

The weight of The Many is too heavy to carry on your own
I think it’s ready to blow

Go
Through the entry
‘Cause the gate’s about to close
And it will swallow you whole
The weight of The Many is too heavy to carry on your own
I think it’s ready to blow

I feel it drawing me
And I’m magnetized
The fabric of the things we see is one cell of a greater Life

So go
And seek out every sign
‘Cause the gate is open, it’s time to touch the light

Now the worlds begin to spin
Through the eye of Solomon
I end where it begins

Go
Through the entry
‘Cause the gate’s about to close
And it will swallow you whole
The weight of The Many is too heavy to carry on your own
I think it’s ready to blow

And the sky will fold pouring stars into the sea
And at last again we’ll meet
So cross, follow me through the door to the other side
Join me here where all worlds collide

Then you say
Are you ready
Are you ready ‘cause the gate’s about to close
And it will swallow you whole

Go
Through the entry
‘Cause the gate’s about to close
And it will swallow you whole
The weight of The Many is too heavy to carry on your own
I think it’s ready to blow

This is the end, end of my story
We meet again, the sky has been emptied
Spiraling through the clouds
