TURN on CC for LYRICS:
Me inside this big hive
You outside world despite
I brought you the light
You are walls of this hall
I dream falls and see ghouls
I walked under the eye
Through the land of day and night
I have seen time go by
I dress the colors shining bright
My home, my refuge is now my room of death
The tribe, the Demiurge, they want to slit my chest
Their kiss, their caress are now stones on my flesh
The way I entered was just a way to rest
In this gateless fortress
They are holes on my core
You stay home with black stones
I followed the morning star
Seeing that light that lies so far
Far from home, far from all
For the truth i heed the call
This is my fate, my cave is now my grave
I bear a name that wastes a new true faith
The tribe with rage drags my shape to the
Stage has a frame that looks the eternal gates
Their stones, their dances are sins that stain your soul
That glare, that passage is not an open door
They are the signs that trace the way to go
The way I travel is the way to the floor
In this gateless stronghold.
My home, my refuge is now my room of death
The tribe, the Demiurge, they want to slit my chest
Their kiss, their caress are now stones on my flesh.
The way I entered was just a way to rest
Their stones, their dances are sins that stain your soul
That glare, that passage is not an open door
They are the signs that trace the way to go
The way I travel is the way to the floor
In this gateless stronghold
In this gateless fortress.

After hearing all the album, and specially my favorite music on it "The Dragon and The Sword" I'm really in love with this story.
So from what I gathered and that I'd like to share is that the album tells 2 different stories of "Beginning"
The first story is the ones the video series show, 2 siblings that got the "grace" of The Fallen, and received a, or the, Blackstone (Or Heart of Stone, unsure yet if they are the same). The songs that take the siblings part are: Changing Star, The Divine Order, We are the Strangers, For a New God and Fortress without Gates. While the next songs are told by The Fallen: Aeternus, Genesis and The Dragon and The Sword (I'll call this one only The Dragon to short)
The story of the siblings are already showed on the video and on the lyrics, with exception of The Divine Order that is told by the siblings but talks about The Fallen, showing they are linked.
There's also Blackstone song, I can't quite yet understand who this song belong to, could be both and also neither.
Now for The Fallen, or Gabriel.
The first song Aeternus has the lyric "It's time to talk about me/This is my story" Saying that he's the firstborn, the one that betrayed. For me Aeternus tells of a place where there were no God yet, and that God was "created".
That part is more showed on Genesis. On Genesis we have the origin of God, with a few lyrics from The Divine Order too. A King/Shaman that raped a woman and from the rape came 4 sons. Then with this the ritual was complete and this King/Shaman became a god and the 4 sons became angels, immortals, as said on "We are four, we are gold". Also here The Fallen/Gabriel shows that he learned somehow the truth and wants to be a saviour, either of mankind or his mother. He loves his mother, as in the middle he screams "Mother" and in the song The Dragon he wants to break his mother free.
From all the gathering, this god is awful, demanding sacrifices with a religion based on blood.
On the song The Divine Order we have a better showcase of that, this is sang by the siblings, probably the sister. The lyrics talks about a false god, the Shaman, a mother that's nothing but a pet for the Shaman's ritual, the brothers, called as immortal sons and "Our star" the firstborn, being The Fallen/Gabriel. The lyrics also says that The Fallen spoke to them, telling them the truth.
Now for my favorite song, The Dragon. Also, this is the song that explains for me why The Fallen is Gabriel. If you read the lyrics is basically an angel going against god, so by default everyone goes into Lucifer. I also thought it was Lucifer at the start, before listening the other songs with more attention.
There's a few facts that denies for me it's Lucifer. First, the intention of The Fallen is to "Enlight men/They are facing the dark". He wants to save mankind, and also his mother. While Lucifer, wanted to become god himself. The second is the names, in The Dragon we learn the 3 brothers name. Uriel, Raphael and Michael. It sounds off, by having this 3 siblings, naming one of them Lucifer. Yet I know, the real name is Samael, yet, doesn't quite makes sense to be Lucifer for his intention alone. However it's pretty much a different religion, just using names of angels, since in this world, god was "created".
Yet, the third fact is that, even tho it's a created universe, most of the brothers are descripted as any biblical reference you would find, Uriel alone is called "the fire hand", which is stated on most religious books. So some facts stays the same. Gabriel fits the role for the intention. Gabriel is a messenger, he carries knowledge for the humans in name of God. On this world however, he did that and probably God didn't like it, banning his son from heaven. He's also stated as the most powerful among the 4 sons. And the name of Gabriel alone is "Might of God" so he has pretty much the same power as would his father, enough to be able to make a fight against his 3 brothers and leave alive.
There are some contradictions to it, it could be Lucifer after all be over with it right away, but being Gabriel just makes it more original and interesting and I prefer to pick that. There's also a painting of 4 angels that I end up finding upon researching. The 4 angels are, exactly, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. (Source: Four Archangels, St John's Church, Warminster, Wiltshire)
In The Dragon's song we know that Gabriel fights his 3 brothers, he is cast down to heaven, he wants to save his mother from her chains, he denies his father, and that the Blackstone is somehow necessary for his plan. This song alone is fantastic to the little details, you learn that Gabriel loves his mother, where he sings for her in 3 different lines, on one of them saying that he is her son, while denying that he's his Father's son anymore.
So the full story of the album, for me is: Some king/shaman becomes god, making 4 sons. One of the sons discovers the awful actions of his father and tries to save mankind, giving them enlightnment, only to be set against his own brothers, and banished from heaven. He probably learned about the Blackstone power with the demons in Hell, not that he was cast down to Hell, as stated on The Dragon song "I was cast down on Earth" so he found his way to Hell on his own. After learning about the Blackstone, he needed to create one, so he uses the sister, lures both siblings to meet him, during the journey back the sister is killed and the brother decides to take the role of taking the Blackstone. Upon arriving at the village, telling "The Truth", either the Shaman denied him or he wanted the power of the Blackstone for himself.
I really loved this concept, and I'd love to learn more about the following parts. Sadly, The Middle album is lacking lyrics, and I searched everywhere for it, I'd even gladly buy a physical copy if the lyrics came with it, because The Middle album from 2015, from what I gathered is the sequence for this album. The Beginning > The Middle. And probably, "The End" next, showing Gabriel finally using the Blackstone for his rematch against his brothers and his father, maybe? I tried listening The Middle a few times, but english is not my first language. I know that I heard the name "Raphael" in one of the songs, so there's something in there for sure (or it was my imagination).
Amazing album and story telling, keep up the great work!
thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to type all that out . . . especially considering english isn't your first language. i'm fascinated by the story and your interpretation of the narrative really opens it up for me. i'm new to this album and this band -- definitely going to check out their previous stuff. also, your english is great -- very easy to read and understand!

Nice track!!!!
Can some of you explain the plot of this album? Why does the brother return to the tribe only to be eaten by its members? Is that truth that he wants to die by the sacrifice to join his sister? Why he ate a heart of his sister then? I think we need some answers from the band.
I think the focus of the whole story is the black stone (Blackstone is also a song on the album). You can clearly see it in this video, which was in the heart of the sister and in the end (spoiler) is taken by a new girl. The same stone was on Eleanor in the previous series (which is actually a sequel). So it must be important somehow.... probably is the "vessel "of the Fallen, which they mention very often. And that's why this is "the beginning", probably all the inheritance starts from this sacrifice.
At least, this is what I think.
Thank you for your questions; your doubts are more than understandable. We don't like explaining our works, influencing the precious visions and thoughts of our fans, but in this case, we can tell you something:
SPOILER ALERT
The brother returns to the tribe to bring something more important than his salvation. A new truth passed down.
A truth that the shaman tries to steal from him during the ritual, just as he had to do with his sister once she was on the brink of death.
A truth that the sister obtained from the encounter with The Fallen, the being at the foot of the waterfall.
A truth that won't be devoured by the shaman because it's hidden in the heart of stone.
A truth that can thus change hands, reach the purifying fire, and then who knows...
Thanks to Simone for his deep and received vision. 🩸

Loved all your works, but this new album hits on a different level! Come to Canada!
Thank you mate! Hail to Canada!
After reading all the lyrics and searching through some facts I have some theories about the nature of the "Fallen" guy.
1. He might be an incarnation of Lucifer. It's a simplest theory. He was cast down from heaven to earth as the rebel etc.
2. He might be one of Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Lyrics told us about 4 brothers who "ride the astral winds".
3. And the last theory is my favorite, showing the fallen as the angel Azrael. It have some crazy notes, but it explaining many things from both albums, especially about death of Eleanor and Brother from "The Beginning" as salvation and transfter into a new, better world.
😝😍
To me, he is Gabriel. Gabriel is a messenger of God, in the song The Dragon and The Sword there's a line going "I tried to enlight men". However, in this universe he is trying to warn men from his father himself, that he's an awful god, which causes his father to banish him from Heaven. In the song Genesis, the person singing it is Gabriel, where he says "I'll be the saviour, I'm against the doom", so there's something bad incoming or already happening, that he wants to avoid mankind to face. Lucifer wouldn't fit that, he didn't want to help mankind, he just wanted to be God himself.
👊👊
💥💥
So why brother sumbit to death? He know that after the ritual he will transfer to another world situated inside the "Blackstone", that strange stone around his neck. Soul of his sister must be inside of it. And soul of Eleanor will transfer there too after the events of "Glare Of Deliverance", but a bit later.
Actually, any of listeners can build up his own universe inside those two albums. And this is wonderful.
Really appreciate mate 🩸
Love your ideas and questions about the concept and story!
🩸🩸
Some seriously sick drumming by a war machine! Kudos to you!
Waiting :)
Waiting … 😉
Ops... 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
😈666🤟
Hey Leo! 💪
So it was all in vain? He lost his sister, came back and gave up. How sad. Thanks for the good story and for the album as a whole. I will be waiting for your new works. I hope you will make more great videos.
We will mate!🩸
So they just both die and get eaten? Dafuq?
