lyrics

Soldier has been struggling with the aftermath of his infection by the virus of individuality, created by the vain and arrogant men of the upper world. His restless mind, awakened to the concepts of existence and singularity - and thus alienated from the rest of his vacant-minded broodmates -, has filled his heart with a horrifying desire to escape the Cage of Tunnels that has surrounded the ants’ Colony since uncharted times.

As the fear of leaving his natural home becomes increasingly overshadowed by the growing feeling of claustrophobia provoked by the Cage’s thick and stale air, Soldier starts to frantically search for a way out.

The Cage is a fortified labyrinth of earth and stone, a perpetual work in progress meticulously crafted by many generations of working ants, its main purpose being the complete and absolute protection of the brood from the unknown horrors of the outer world. Its structure is thought to be flawless – that was, at the very least, the objective shared by the ones who built it, albeit driven only by their meticulous and primal ant instincts.

Soldier knows that no other ant had realized his attempt to escape – doing so would mean they too had risen from the crowd and achieved individuality, and he had already confirmed beyond all doubt that he’d been the only one contaminated by the mysterious toxin. He cries and screeches as he starts to panic, the deafening silence that answers his bellows becoming more sinister by the second.

His mind shoots visions of fame, another new concept – the recognition that he would surely achieve by reaching the surface and becoming known to the universe as the first ever creature in existence to achieve individuality. These illusions of grandeur only increase the creeping terror behind the possibility of being ultimately unable to escape… And Soldier keeps progressively edging closer to his breaking point.

It is then that he finally sees it: a tiny breach in the tunnel’s wall, which is letting a tremendously slight string of light through, along with a constant stream of chilled air, showing Soldier the way to go. As he furiously widens the breach and burrows a new path, a burning beam of light showers over his face. His eyes, overwhelmed by the radiance that quickly envelops his whole body, begin adjusting slowly.

Breathless, Soldier reaches THE FROZEN VALE.
