The Rite of Crystal Resurrection

Towards realm dark all mem'ries wend

From whence have come the minds of men

To where they downward spiralled rest

Upon reflective Mem'ry's Nest

O'er time sparce mem'ries will digress

'pon which could subsist the princess

But all forgotten things reflective

'pon which demon feeds collective

While former to myrrh transmutes

That latter not a morsel refuse

Thus mem'ries lost to monsters turn

And mem'ry weaving mortals yearn

For this survival's drive has done

From fall of night to setting sun

O keepers of the crystal

Thy mem'ries to the light shall flow

Forgotten jewels that lose their glow

In time they shall return anew

To be gathered like drops of dew

Journey forth, seek the water of life!


This poem is suppose to be both the old story of the demon and the princess that the game refers to and the rite used at the ceremony every year to rejuvenate the crystal. It borrows the last six lines directly from the game's trailer itself, while the beginning is my own invention inspired by the book of Norse legends and mythology that I was reading at the time. The poem itself talks about how myrrh is created as well as monsters and the role that human memories play in all of it.
