about

Sine and the Spirit Usher have arrived in an alternate, subterranean world, as the narrator sings. The Spirit Usher points out to Sine that chants and calls can be heard coming from somewhere in the caverns, caves or passageways. They discover some dwellers of this “Down Below World” (aka the “Down Belowers”) in the midst of a ceremony singing a song of praise to a god they call Thos, encouraging each other to surrender their souls to her. These Down Belowers are members of the Cult of Thos and refer to themselves as “Thosians.”

lyrics

Part I: It's an Alternate World
(It's alternate)
It's an alternate world
(It's alternate)
(Boys and girls)
Haven't you heard?
(Boys and girls)

(It's different)
It's a different scene
(It's different)
(haven't you seen?)
You know what I mean?
(haven't you seen?)

Part II: As Above, So Below
Are you feeling it?
The air is heavy
And the lights are low
As above, so below
Are you hearing it?
All those chants and calls
from the dwellers hereof
As below, so above

Part III: The Cult of Thos (instrumental)

Part IV: Surrender Your Soul
She's a smooth oscillator
a mind alterater
a psych-operator
a soul saturator

You still remember
You still remember
Remember your role
Remember your goal

But you must surrender
You must surrender
Surrender your soul
Surrender your soul

Surrender to Thos
Surrender to Thos
Let go your thoughts
Let go your cause
