Bal Sagoth Prologue Lyrics:
In 2104, lithological excavations at the Fourth
Mars Colony unearthed an artifact of unknown,
seemingly non-human origin; an icosahedron of an
unrecognized, non terrestrial metallic
composition, inscribed with strange,
indecipherable sigils and glyphs.

After long months of intense study, epigraphy
experts on Earth ascertained a tenuous parallel
between the unknown language on the icosaherdon
and certain obscure Aztec hieroglyphics, and thus
were able to extrapolate a meaning from the
unearthly inscriptions.

The translation spoke of a legendary repository of
ultimate knowledge known as the Empyreal
Lexicon... a codex of alien origin said to contain
incredible cosmic secrets; arcane words and
psionic waves of power which were the keys to
unlocking a network of cerebral-transferrence
portals linking the myriad galaxies of the
multiverse, and also the means to transcend the
boundaries of the space-time continuum, enabling
corporeal beings to travel between dimensions and
traverse at will the unknown realms which lay
between universes, tapping into the limitless
energies which permeated the sidereal fabric of
the cosmos.

The translation of the Mars icosaherdon also
hinted disturbingly at a great pangalactic
conflict which was waged over the possession of

the codex between the mysterious cosmic beings who
had appointed themselves the keepers of the
Lexicon and some terrifying shadowy foe mentioned
only fleetingly in the alien text.

The final battle in this cataclysmic power
struggle was apparently fought in Earth's own
solar system, and the Keepers of the Lexicon,
their power depleted and teetering on the verge of
defeat, shattered the codex into a myriad shards,
scattering the fragments across the star system in
order to prevent the secrets of the Lexicon from
falling into the hands of their darksome nemesis.

According to the Martian artifact, several
fragments of the Lexicon were hidden on the third
planet from the sun, the Earth itself.

One fragment was secreted in ancient Atlantis,
another in Lemuria. Further pieces of the cosmic
codex fell to earth in Ys and eon-veiled Mu.

Still further fragments of the Lexicon were said
to have been hidden somewhere beneath the frozen
surface of the bleak moon Callisto, and on the
other mysterious orbs Hyperion and Titan.

Lastly, the alien artifact spoke mysteriously of
something hidden beneath the cratered surface of
Earth's own Moon.

Ascertaining co-ordinates from the Mars
icosahedron, an expedition embarked immediately
from the Epsilon IV Moon Base and began to
excavate the lunar sphere.

Thus was a veiled warning unheeded, and no one
could know what to expect as the machinations of
humankind breached the ancient surface of the
moon's Mare Imbrium....
