1.	DREAMOIR, Satellite Empire - Apocrypha I: Warrior's Vigil 05:01	lyrics	buy track
alone yet standing tall you see my battered flag fly against it all alone and terrified I’m calling out for hope with one last battle cry always flown too close to conflict never knew how how it’d burn to make the skin of a warrior when you watch me from afar from afar Crimson it dwells in me Bleeding silently through hallowed war Frail prophecies Lost divinity Don’t look back this time Warrior Forget this shallow reverie Forever gone Gently Oh gently It all returns Heavy it’s all so heavy Help me unearth I bow my crown less head War after war Crimson war From afar Born of what you wanted Never bound to the tide Crimson It dwells in me Bleeding silently Unless you’re bulletproof Nowhere’s sanctuary No one fights for you Now it’s begun Forever numb Don’t look back this time
2.	Caster, Ironheart, Satellite Empire - Apocrypha II: Behold the Lauded 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Hush All the words expire No bones to build Your head is heavy But flesh When it cries like fire Yeah we listen Our head is heavy I want to go back We tread We rise Unearth Can’t keep us (down) Reset to survive It’s lonely on the other side What if those precious hours Need sleep to call their own We’ve wandered much too far From home I want to go back We tread We rise Unearth Can’t keep us (down) When all your wanted was to survive It’s lonely on the other side
3.	Blue Stahli, Satellite Empire - Apocrypha III: Eternal Vespers 03:38	lyrics	buy track
deep down you go follow whispers and oh you wonder our weapon’s greater in the darkest shade the drapes are drawn when the ghosts are gone I hope that you can fall for something will you stop at nothing? I can’t take this away when all you wanted was to be haunted you’ve destroyed all you know now you’re holding it tighter trying, and fighting to let it go your fall is mine let me catch my breath my mind, it’s race it runs a thousand miles at once and pulls me under forgive me my apathy but given all I have seen- I hail from wars behind that crown then they lifted you up now you’re higher than us too afraid to come down, down, down so he pled: headstrong foolish like a king so glorified oh you dare reconcile with blood still on your hands? don’t call it justified no, your fall is mine your fall is mine

about

Before the Word, was the Myth.

As the inevitable heat death of the cosmos looms ever nearer in spacetime, life, in all of its myriad manifestations, faces a choice between a relative eternity spent watching our universe die around us, on the one hand, and the bitter, animal struggle against the eventuality of our own deaths, on the other.

The Word is passed down to us through a kaleidoscope of synoptic voices. Each Apocrypha reveals a new emotional subtlety, a depth of sonic experimentation, and a grandness of scale to the known world—the Myth—the Zeroth Canon.
