Sunchaser - Sunchaser represents Elise making a conscious decision to take up the torch of her uncle Carter's discovery despite the danger it will place her in. It's a resolution of courage and a statement of defiance to the mysterious ptolemaic kings who murdered her uncle. She learns that all gates in ancient times were supposed to once have been portals, however, all the connections of the ancient portal gates were built using the Atlas Runica, and were broken when the book was lost. To continue their research, they must find one of the very few naturally occurring gates that is not reliant on the Atlas Ruinica.The song itself parallels the epic of Gilgamesh In his quest for immortality which Elise learns was actually a code for a certain gate known as Solomon’s Gate. According to legend, Solomon’s Gate had the power to grand the one who could open it knowledge of all things and access to infinite life
There are a couple of direct quotations from the Epic of Gilgamesh in this song: “the last summit” (where Gilgamesh was told the secret of eternal life would reside), “Find the light and follow it”
“You may not live to lie in your blossom’s shade”: reference to Japanese saying about great societies planting trees whose shade they will never lie under
Solomon’s gate was said to be located at “the ends of the earth” where Gilgamesh was told to travel on his quest
lyrics
All the world is clear now
I’m standing on the last summit
Promise me remember
To find the light and follow it
Now it’s clear there’s no other way to follow
For tomorrow
Fight the fear, let the sunlight shape your heart’s road
Not your sorrow
You may not live to lie in your blossom’s shade
But you can still capture the boundless life you chase
The things that you have built, the courage you have shown,
Your legacy lies in the good that you have done
Now chase the sun
All the world is clear now
I’m standing on the last summit
Promise me remember
To find the light and follow it
Take courage through the years
How could I bow to fear
Illuminate the road
With all that I know
Take courage through the years
How could I bow to fear
Illuminate the road
How could I not go
I found the light recovered from the shadow
Break through the night
Another path, a small glow
I found the light recovered from the shadow
Break through the night
Another path, a small glow
Now it’s clear there’s no other way to follow
For tomorrow
Fight the fear let the sunlight shape your heart’s road
Not your sorrow
I found the light recovered from the shadow
How could I bow to fear
Break through the night another path, a small glow
With all that I know
I found the light recovered from the shadow
How could I bow to fear
Break through the night another path, a small glow
How could I not go
