about

The Thosians relay to Sine the legend of how they came to live in the Down Below World and how they came to believe that there is an ancient god named Thos who lives in the planet's core but has been forgotten for so long by the rest of the Down Belowers that she now lays dormant. They believe that if they can awaken Thos, she will lead them out of the Down Below World and onto the surface of Progkp where they will be able to see the sky and breathe the light air, to live as the their ancient ancestors once lived. They think Sine can help them find Thos and encourage him to come with them in search of her. But for Sine to be successful, they tell him, he must believe in Thos the way they do, as a tangible deity, as the planet itself.

lyrics

Deep below the surface here we are stone
They buried our bodies with soil and bone
Into the underground we sought for Thos
Deity primeval who's thought for lost

Come with us
Be with Thos
Let your thoughts
Awaken Thos

Revered by the ancients, this god of yore
Believed to reside in the planet’s core
She exhaled through dirt to sky, we were told
Dormant for millennia, rise god of old

Come with us
Be with Thos
Let your thoughts
Awaken Thos

Come with us into the darkness
Dig down deep into your mind's eye
You must arouse and waken her
So she can breathe into the sky

Neither here nor there, Thos is more
She is the planet, crust to core
She is substance, this world is her
Praise her this way and fear no more
