Pater Shrouder: The father who guides mankind to an awareness of the shroud over their perception.

Comrade Victor: The archetypal spiritual warrior.
The Lord Reverend Wizard of Alchemical Despair: The shamanic figure who transmutes (alchemical) the darkness and ignorance (despair) into the light of awareness, and thus gains authority over the lower world of tradition (reverend), the middle world of reality (lord) and higher world of transcendance (wizard).

Lyrics

Filter all the darkness
Through your mind
Creating the wicked
They’re trapped in time

Foreseen is the ending
Of your being
Distorting all you feel
You can’t believe that it’s real

And struggle unconscious
To save the world
While you doubt your existing
For what you stood

I live
In a world wreathed in fear
And no one close is near
To stop the forces
Of metamorphoses

Lyrics

Stumbling through the voids of rejection
Crumbling without any intention
Suffer the weight of the world, it’s your fate
You wanted to journey forever
When it was too late
