Catechism means "a book of instruction in the form of questions and answers; primarily one containing a summary of the principles of the Christian religion"

Story Overview[]

Something is happening. As you stand on the scorched Earth, things start to break down. This isn't real. This was a lesson to teach you about the arrogance and hubris of humanity, the destruction of Earth and its aftermath. You remember playing with the idea of setting yourself up as a god and ruling this planet despite your lack of belief in religions. Yet you can now separate yourself from the narrative and see that it wasn't you, these were someone else's memories.

This is the last song to feature The Soldier of Earth and where his story ends. It is unknown if he simply stopped recording his memories or if he died.

Lyrics[]

The optical feed manipulated
The resolution only simulated
A binary masterpiece between two realms

A quantum dance - mentally entranced
You pray to yourself bearing the sign of a god
Now you know who humans have prayed to all along
Bound by your faith
Instilled by your hate
You deserve nothing more than this moment to pray

Matter becomes transparent
Accepting the farce of human sentience
Remain in a state of cognitive discord

Modulation through systematic control
Grasping for air - increasing this data flow

Pineal glands stabilized
Adrenal glands amplified
I feel everything

A quantum dance - mentally entranced
You pray to yourself bearing the sign of a god
Now you know who humans have prayed to all along

Bound by your faith
Instilled by your hate
You deserve nothing more than this moment to pray

Clawing at the ground
Feel the texture of a nation
Turned to ashes

Breathe the air of this fallen world once again
Now your body will rejoin to repay the earth

Nervous system collapsing
Optical implants refracting

This fleeting moment is nothing more than...

A quantum dance - mentally entranced
You pray to yourself bearing the sign of a god
Now you know who humans have prayed to all along
Bound by your faith
Instilled by your hate
You deserve nothing more than this moment to pray
