Sea of Fire - Elise least finds herself in an endless desert, the cosmic final resting place of the ancient Library of Alexandria, which the Atlantean mages blasted through a portal when their power got out of hand. This desert world contains the total of all human discovery across every split in the multiverse, each grain of sand containing an entire civilization’s knowledge.
The leader of the Ptolemaic Kings is still in hot pursuit and arrives in the desert world soon after Elise, wounding her with a gunshot to the arm before being killed by his own knife in a fight to reach the book first. Following the glow of the amulet she has carried with her since discovering it in Uncle Carter’s hidden study room, Elise walks over countless mountains of sand until she reaches the center of the world.
She encounters an emissary that allows her to request any singular piece of knowledge in the universe. She asks for the Atlas Runica and is granted the book, but she is cautioned “forsake not the path before you, forget not the shifting sands.” This is a warning that in exchange for receiving incredible knowledge she must also shoulder an incredible burden. She is now responsible for the safety of the book and will always be weighed down by a horrifying discovery: that every universe in the multiverse comprises one cell of the brain of a super god (The Eld) who has been sleeping for eons. Elise learns that the Ptolemaic Kings were planning to contact The Eld using the Atlas Ruinica in an attempt to gain full mastery over time and space and become a race of self-ordained gods among men.
Should The Eld actually awaken, there is no telling what disruptions would happen to the fabric of reality.
lyrics
I’ve seen the dark chasm yawning
Black planets roll without aim
Mute horror screaming unheeded
No knowledge, lustre, or name
I’ve seen the bones of all nations
Mere dust in an hourglass
Keep time of a wretched destruction
From present, future, and past
Soured slumber
From a seething vortex of
Time and godless outer hells
Emissaries from cosmos yet unknown
Brought forth the Atlas Ruinica
Fling open Solomon’s Gate
And then they speak
They said to me
They revealed to me
The secrets they sailed into the sea of
Fire, fire
No escape
No return
Fire, fire
It has seen
It has heard
Let it burn
There is an eldritch evil that runs so deep
That its river poisons the stars
Kept comatose only by strange mercies
And the amber flame
Frozen from afar
Sailing through the sea of
Fire, fire
No escape
No return
Fire, fire
It has seen
It has heard
Let it burn
So hide it well
Not another soul will live to tell of
Fire, fire
It has seen
It has heard
Let it burn
I’ve seen the dark chasm yawning
Black planets roll without aim
Mute horror screaming unheeded
No knowledge, lustre, or name
I’ve seen the dark chasm yawning
Black planets roll without aim
Mute horror screaming unheeded
No knowledge, lustre, or name
Tear the souls from their flesh
Tear the souls from their flesh
Forsake not the path before you
Forget not the shifting sands
Forsake not the path before you
Forget not your wretched end
Forsake not the path before you
Forget not your own end
Forsake not the path before you
Forget not your own end
Sea of fire
No escape
No return
Fire, fire
It has seen
It has heard
Let it burn
So hide it well
Not another soul will live to tell of

Sharptooth fight bigotry with melodic hardcore, their breakdowns an ideal vehicle for singer Lauren Kashan's incendiary insights. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 15, 2020
This album manages to mix pure brutality, emotional melodies, addicting riffs, and brilliant lyrics all together, and it works in the most beautiful way. razorfish123
