The Orphans’ Fulcrum
This song is the beginning of Bill’s lament about the death of the Orphans, which took place before the story begins. It’s more so about how the Pretender of Peace is chasing him to kill him and how the Orphans of the Future trusted him to complete the task, which that subject matter isn’t mentioned.
Involuntarily Returned
The first stanza, Bill sees the fate of the Orphans within him. “The sea picked them up and turned them into me” is basically his thought on how he believes it’s his fault that they are currently dead. He also compares the Baby of Heaven with himself after the Baby of Heaven turned into a leach (basically a parasite; something that only sucks the life out of something else; another name for The Pretender of Peace).
The second stanza is Bill reiterating how that even though The Orphans are dead, he must continue the task they gave to him. Which is continued into the third stanza, which is Bill explaining that he has to travel to Northern Nothingness. However, once he does, he will have personal lamentation of missing out on his one true love: Layla.
The fourth, and final, stanza is a continuation of the stanza prior. It’s just to further explain his personal sacrifice for helping The Orphans.
The Pretender of Peace
The first stanza is just symbolism for Bill seeing The Orphans die in front of him. “I tripped on a mistake and took to a run” is his way of saying, “It’s my fault they’re going to die, so I have to run away from my problems.”
The chorus is a prayer to the god behind creation in this story: The Asthmatic Lizard. Asking the Lizard to keep Bill’s head up.
The next stanza is Bill’s reaction to The Orphans’ death. How he feels so angry that he couldn’t get them to Northern Nothingness, as his task was to save them, not to see them dead along the way.
This next part of the song is Bill thinking how much of a terrible man the Pretender of Peace and how he cheated the Orphans out of their lives. This is good development within Bill because he is now accepting he isn’t the cause of their death. It’s really the Pretender of Peace and his hate and “disease.”
The alternate chorus is Bill warning us of The Pretender and his wickedness. How he can’t forgive people, so if anyone does him wrong he will just “throw you in the sea.”
Here’s to Them
This whole song is Bill coming fully to terms that it’s The Pretender’s fault that The Orphans are dead. He wants to spread the word of their innocence and wants to never forget them, nor does he want anyone else to forget them. But he is also aware that they can never come back.
He then warns anyone who may say anything bad about them that he will surely destroy them for doing so, for they deserved nothing less than admiration. He also warns the Pretender that he will shove him in a “hearth to burn.” And the Pretender hears about it and approaches Bill (peacefully) to make sure Bill knows he means to do the same to Bill...
Prophecy of the Eaglets
This whole song is The Pretender of Peace trying to make Bill second-guess his task and try to make him think he can never do it. He tells Bill that he may as well kill himself because he won’t ever succeed. And if tries to continue, The Pretender will send the Eaglets after him after they kill The Asthmatic Lizard. He then makes a prophecy that he’ll be back in the time of Bill’s descendants no matter what, so Bill’s bloodline will die out even then.
Stop Daydreaming, Bill/Breaking Down on the Road
All of “Stop Daydreaming, Bill” is Bill fantasizing about his exotic love that is Layla. And his realization that he’ll never have her again makes him break down.
We then segue right into “Breaking Down on the Road” where Bill is “summoning courage” to continue to Northern Nothingness to meet the Asthmatic Lizard. While The Pretender doubles back to where they both came from to rally up the Eaglets, Bill realizes he isn’t sure how to get to Northern Nothingness. But he then remembers what the Orphans told him as they were dying. Which is pretty much that he needs to keep heading on down the Road, no matter what. The Lizard will make him “a postman” so that he may warn the rest of humanity of what the Pretender is to bring.
He also remembers the Orphans saying how the Lizard will give him “The Other.” A female companion that will complete the Syzygy.
The Transmigration Past the Frightened Star
On the original release of the album, I stupidly named it “The Transmigration Passed the Frightened Star.” But it should be “Past.”
This instrumental song is Bill’s trip to Northern Nothingness. Along the way, he becomes...
Bill, the Cosmonaut
All of the wording is really nonsensical, as far as story matter goes. It’s really all just symbolism for Bill’s growth into The Cosmonaut; the traveller of space. He made the trek only a few others have made to get access to Northern Nothingness, where The Asthmatic Lizard holds his domain.
Northern Nothingness
Getting to Northern Nothingness, Bill realizes that it’s a desolate place. He thought it was desolation by name only and was hoping for something along the lines of what people describe Heaven to be. Again, he laments about the death of the Orphans and he feels he stole their glory by using their death to become The Cosmonaut.
But Bill realizes this was his destiny, to become The Cosmonaut, that he just wasn’t expecting Northern Nothingness to be what it really was and was shamefully let down. He then states that he is not who he once was; he isn’t the timid human that was Bill by saying “If you want someone to be the Cosmonaut, then I will become the one to be the Cosmonaut.” And that “I shed all my fears to be the Cosmonaut, when I entered here to be the Cosmonaut.”
Here I Am
Bill walks further into Northern Nothingness and sees them... He sees The Orphans of the Future alive and well. He realizes he is “like a light in the mist.” And as if to say goodbye to his old self one last time, he tells his old self that he is there.
...In Space
The first lyrical part of this song depicts the scene of The Cosmonaut meeting The Asthmatic lizard for the first time. First said in Latin, then again English.
The second part is said by the Lizard himself. The Lizard is a chiding god that mocks (in a friendly way) The Cosmonaut for being so whiny during his trek to Northern Nothingness. He does so by first saying how he wishes he was so far into the future that everyone but him is dead. He then tells The Cosmonaut to eat him. He goes on to say that they must “refill the role of Babel” and to not “look back,” recalling the story of Sodom. Basically saying they must destroy the Pretender and his Eaglet army.
Akkedis
This song takes place right after The Cosmonaut eats the scales off of the Lizard. It induces a hallucinogenic trip more potent than acid ever could. The Cosmonaut becomes paranoid.
Lizardry
The Lizard, in the first sentence, says to The Cosmonaut, this new Moonwalker, that the immoral beings that live actually fear him. He then asks The Cosmonaut what he wants most. He continues to say that he will give The Cosmonaut anything, even the powers of life and death, as long as he stops the fighting with The Pretender. He asks if The Cosmonaut wants want Bill wanted most: Layla. The Cosmonaut gets Bill’s wish and the Lizard makes Layla “The Other,” the completion to the Syzygy.
Nachten
The Cosmonaut is anxiously awaiting Layla (A.K.A. Nachten, her new title (much like Bill is The Cosmonaut)). The song describes Layla as a very pure person and that she is the key to trapping the Eaglets, who aren’t “much if she doesn’t abide.”
It continues to go on and say that Layla’s birth was a blessing to everyone, and even more so because she was born earlier than the Lizard anticipated. As well as she is the third part of the Syzygy “that the Eaglets abhor.” And that the Pretender fears her more than he fears the Lizard and the Cosmonaut. But it’s really the Cosmonaut that will end the Pretender, which the Pretender is blind to.
The Orphans then tell The Cosmonaut that Layla, not him, is the savior of the Orphans but she doesn’t know this. The Cosmonaut must become the Professor to teach her. He must become the Professor of the Syzygy to teach her, thus ending this war with the Pretender and the Eaglets.
The Cosmonaut professes that Nachten is his key to his destiny, that she is the final piece. He knows and fully understands what the Lizard and the Orphans are telling him about her and he embraces it.
The Lizard then happily tells The Cosmonaut just how jealous the Pretender is of the Cosmonaut for finding out about Nachten and her role in being a part of the Syzygy. And by her word, the stars will come align (basically creating the Syzygy to destroy the wickedness). The Orphans gain access to Nachten’s mind and make her The Cosmonaut, and Bill is back to Bill. For only a little time.
Within Eyes That Flicker
This whole song is from Bill’s perspective. It’s all dialogue that Bill tells to Nachten. It’s about how he knows he is the Savior of Races against the Pretender. He proclaims to Nachten that he is sane and alive only because of her love for him. He also states that he knows he is the same for her, that he will correct her mistakes lovingly so.
He tells Nachten that if she ever begins to doubt herself to remember him and how he once tried to run from his destiny. That even right now he is worried about failing what he knows is right, but he is more worried about losing her and losing her trust and faith in him. To not forget about why the Pretender is so jealous of them being together again, but even more so with their knowledge of the universe.
The Endowment
All from The Asthmatic Lizard’s perspective.
At first, this just the Lizard explaining to Bill that he himself is older than the universe. That he can know everything about anything and anyone by just licking it.
The Lizard then begins to give Bill what he promised - everything. And as much as the Lizard doesn’t want to live after doing so, he comes to the conclusion that he must.
While endowing his powers to Bill, he has flashbacks to long gone days where there was no worry only for his consciousness to smack him back in present time so he gives Bill to be the “God of the Seams” of the universe. He connects Bill back into the life source of the universe and proclaims that, through Bill and Nachten, the war is soon to be over.
Into the Mind
This next part jumps a bit. The Pretender mocks Bill, once again by calling him the “Eidolon of Providence,” “the last piece of three.” He claims that Bill’s upstart of title and destiny was “knighted by profligates,” thus making Bill untruthful.
The Pretender then mockingly calls the Lizard a king and tears him to shreds, thus killing him.
The Chanting of Eaglets
“The Prophecy of Eaglets” is fulfilled, somewhat, in this track.
It starts out with the Orphans telepathically telling Bill that even though the Lizard is dead, it doesn’t matter for Bill has his powers. They tell him to use them.
Bill questions whether or not he should fight back or do what the Eaglets want and kill himself, or if he shouldn’t care what so ever. But he, of course, comes to the conclusion that he will become the Professor of the Syzygy and continue to finish this war.
The Orphans, telepathically again, tell Bill that even though the Eaglets have wronged him, he should forgive them, as with the Pretender. He is the Savior of Races against the Pretender of Peace and his Eaglets, to include them. They say that because Bill breathes, God exists and to follow what Bill thinks God/the Lizard would do.
I Am Professor Syzygy
This 10 minute track is all from Bill’s perspective.
He talks about his trek to Northern Nothingness. And through connection to all of the past Cosmonauts/Moonwalkers, he gains knowledge of what they had taught. And, as was destined, he professes the reiteration of the knowledge to everyone and everything.
Bill then mocks the wrongdoers by saying that they kill children for money, they use too much electricity, that they drink blood of those they wrong even if not literally. He tells them all that if they do not accept his truth, they should join those who are running away from him scared.
To those who accept what Bill says, he offers them peace by telling them that he has dissected their psyches and they should no longer hate Bill. They should become one with the universe and Earth by living in trees and caves. He then mimics the Pretender and says, “I’ll be back in your descendant’s life time.” By making “descendent’s” a singular possessive word, I make it known that Bill will come back again and again to remind and profess the races that he is meant to save, even until there is none but one left.
Due to his forgiveness and his professing of the truth, Bill is now knighted Professor Syzygy. He warns the Pretender and the Eaglets who hadn’t turned to him that they will be crushed by the Syzygy. Not necessarily killed.
It’s Us
Professor Syzygy announces to the Pretender that he and Nachten are ready to battle. He states that he has come to keep his promise to the Lizard and the Orphans; to destroy the Pretender. He also tells the Pretender to just try to tempt him to give up by threatening Nachten. And that no matter what now, he can “never go back.”
The Pretender lashes back by saying that others have tried to stop him before, but all have failed. He doesn’t even have to think anymore about killing, because he can not be held back with his power of the mind. He also, mockingly, says that he’d rather look at himself in the mirror than stare that the proclaimed beauty of Nachten.
He then shows the Professor that he wears the Lizard’s shredded remains around his neck to show what he can do. He continues to say that if the Professor doesn’t believe his promises to kill the Syzygy, then he’ll do even worse to it.
The Professor replies again by saying he is not only saving races, but redeeming the Orphans. He states he isn’t even sure, naively yet truthfully, that he can die. He tells the Pretender that he’ll see the Professor’s face only one more time before his eyes close indefinitely.
Quasar Ignite
The final battle between The Pretender of Peach and his Eaglets against Professor Syzyg and Nachten. Depicted in my head is the Professor standing over a mortally wounded Pretender as the Professor truthfully states that with the life and death inside everyone’s souls, he has come in front of the Pretender to defy his false claims without claiming anything more than he, The Professor, The Cosmonaut, Bill, truly was. That everything that the Lizard and the Orphans claimed of him is in fact all true. And with the Professor’s powers, he forgives the Pretender and throws him into a quasar to be consumed and transformed by the universe.
The Sounds of Ends And Infinities
An instrumental track that depicts the peace that The Professor has given to the universe. Including peace in the Pretender himself, who no longer is the Pretender of Peace but the Psychotender of Peace. A crazed man who regrets all he has done to the universe so much, he hides away for seven years.
This song is the beginning of Bill’s lament about the death of the Orphans, which took place before the story begins. It’s more so about how the Pretender of Peace is chasing him to kill him and how the Orphans of the Future trusted him to complete the task, which that subject matter isn’t mentioned.
