about

Upon seeing Thos asleep on a bed of rock in the Cave of Stone, the Thosians sing the prayer, "Long Thought Lost," to her. Though Sine expresses some doubt about waking Thos and whether gods truly care for those who worship them, he demands Thos to wake from sleep and take the group out of the Down Below World to the surface above, thereby changing what they've been and who they are. Thos awakens. She asks the group if she can put a spell on them, which would make them subservient to her. She explains that only by relinquishing their free will can she bring them to the surface of the planet. If they act as one, with her having complete control over their souls, the journey to the surface will be successful. Unsettled by Thos' desire to cast a spell on the group, Sine determines he must kill Thos. He believes Thos' intentions may be pure, but he cannot stand to see the Thosians become her mindless drones. He knows killing her may be suicidal, but he tells the others to step aside as he confronts her. He looks deep inside his soul, opens his mind's eye and deals her an immense psychic blow.

lyrics

Part I: Long Thought Lost
She was long thought lost
At such a great cost
Some say that she slept
Others that she'd left
But before our eyes
The goddess there lies
A queen petrified
Enstoned she resides

Part II: Wake then from Sleep
Time doesn't show
And time doesn't know
where you've been
or who you are

God doesn't care
And God doesn't share
what you've been
or why you are
Moon, day and night
are all you've been
and all you are

Wake then from sleep
Take us from the deep
change what we've been
and change who we are

Part III: Thos Unearthed (instrumental)

Part IV: Can I Put a Spell on You?
Can I Put a Spell on You?
Then I'd Tell You What to Do
Don't worry I'll guide you through
And our journey will be true, true
Once you're under my control
I will take hold of your soul
and lead you out from this hole
Once again you will be whole, whole

Fear not I will make you free
And then all you'll need is me
No longer you'll want to see
Yourself individually

Part V: Deicide
It's regicide
It's deicide
I know it's suicide
So step aside
This false god
now must die
Look inside
Open wide
Your inner eye
Undeify
Evil queen,
you must die
