Sunken City
Journey to Eldritch Depths: Tristan Kovacs' Sunken City Revelations
Lyrics
Went out running and he found a telescope stuck in the sand
Character finds a telescope in the sand while running.
Points it to the ocean, lifts it up and looks straight through the lens
Character points the telescope at the ocean, sees a glimmer in the distance.
There's a glimmer deep within her, there's a city out from land
There's a mysterious city visible from the telescope, deep within the ocean.
Can't believe it, must have dreamed it, then he goes out for a swim
Character swims after seeing the city, questioning if it was a dream.

-Swept him deep down to the depths below
-Gates
-Closed
-Lined with cryptic runes of ancient gold
-Limbs
-Reach out
-Fill the runes with blood from out his mouth
-Thoughts
-Shout
-Of the city shroud in eldritch doubt
-The voice rejoiced he had no choice, he had to enter through the gate
Character is compelled to enter the gate, finds a mysterious necklace with a heavy, cursed presence.
Near the entrance was a necklace that glows hideous and faint
-He can't describe the cursed guise, the gravitation of its weight
-As he wore it, felt a torrent and the thoughts revealed his fate
Upon wearing the necklace, the character experiences a torrent of thoughts revealing their fate.

-I becometh god, Becometh
The character undergoes a transformative experience, becoming god-like, losing a sense of self, and questioning their origin before the mist and myth.
Felt my mind feel gone, feel numbness
-Felt my self move on, Move on with
-All the other thoughts, Left thoughtless
-Don't know where I've gone, forgotten
-Don't know where I'm from, where I started
-Before the mist came in, before the myth began
-Before the monolith became the man I am
Reflecting on the past, the character wakes up sinking and contemplates the unknown journey's beginning and end.
Woke up sinking, started thinking back to where it would begin
Character breaks through the gate, describing non-euclidean halls and encountering a mentor or priest at the city's center.
All the things he'd seen had yet to be, he knew not where it ends
-Through the gate he breaks, the halls take shape, grow non-euclidean
-At the center stood a mentor, priest, an antiquarian
Reiterates the underwater experience with gates, runes, limbs, and thoughts, emphasizing the eldritch nature of the city and its mysteries.
