Laniakea 03:26
(Octavius Roy Orozco dies in the aftermath) [Morning prayer - facing East] Formless, formless Formless, formless No arms, no legs No torso, no head Formless, formless Formless, formless No arms, no legs No torso… appendages Formless, formless No torso… appendages LANIAKEA This is my theme song Laniakea, King Kong Single with a ring on They call me a King, God I am a King on Top of the mountain top I can see the promised land And I got a plan Shrooms and acid Nah this isn't practice Making records, playing shows Getting my ass kissed The Idea is happening Into an actual thing ' I always wanted to rap and sing So please enjoy the show!! "And then I remembered I made memories, memories I formed, finally And then I breathe, then I see Black and white then Red and yellow came to be Reaching out to me In my infancy" Sit down! Enjoy the show! Some will stay! Some will go! All I know is I don't know! As above! So below! (Regret - The Motive) I been so certain for so long… I've always wanted to do this I don't know, sometimes I feel like maybe it's stupid doin' music But honestly.. If I'm being honest… it gets old, man Gotta change shit up sometimes cause Maybe this whole time I ain't been right Ain't been right… ain't been right Maybe this whole time I ain't been right Ain't been right… never been right Cause maybe... We have become our own enemy Who am I? I don't know, who are we There is a price to pay to be Free to float away and see that "And then I remembered I made memories, memories I formed, finally And then I breathe, then I see Black and white then Red and yellow came to be Reaching out to me In my infancy"

Deliverance 04:41
I didn't wake in the morning I was just sitting there, lying there, sitting Crooked frame didn't fit, didn't fit, didn't Nothing I didn't, didn't do nothing Sentimental never, sentences never didn't finish I sat there waiting, waiting, trying not to sleep, praying For the rain to fall slowly Sent a letter to the night never heard back Left me sitting there, lying there, sitting So long, so long No going back, no gone, no God Said my prayer I am here I am here I am here [breathe in, call out] I'll find my way out of here Crooked frame closing in I feel pressure, head hurts... This is how it feels alone This is how it feels alone I feel pressure, head hurts... Said my prayer I am here I am here I am here This is how it feels alone This is how it feels alone I feel pressure, head hurts... I was meant to break I was meant to fall I was dying there, lying there, dying Breathing, at least trying to stay alive and I wasn't ready to say bye yet, not quite Didn't feel like it was the greatest timing But that tiny little light stayed bright, shining Demons singing hymnals… Angels weep, crying I never bowed to no tyrant I stood by the river defiant screaming "I have arrived… I was alive!!" I'll find my way out of here Crooked frame closing in I feel pressure, head hurts... This is how it feels alone This is how it feels alone I feel pressure, head hurts... Said my prayer I am here I am here I am here This is how it feels alone This is how it feels alone I feel pressure, head hurts...

Judgment 03:15
And she said "I miss you when you're gone Why you go away I thought this wouldn't last long But now you go away This was our time alone Alone with you I stay..." Ayyy ayyy And so she waited on My return I'd make Never came back home Home is far away Life is the trip, death is home Almost died, left alone If the tumor comes back, I don't know That's all I'll know forever, nothing Then suddenly I heard music Moon out and under me I felt movement I said "come out from under there, let's do this Make room 'less you tryin to see how a noose fits I don't give a fuck, man I'm ruthless! Bloody broken bones 'til you're toothless I don't care who wins but you'll lose this!" Took one strike at me… I fell The Knell rang from the other side of the river Mostly bones and rotting corpses, bodies littered Like fucking garbage, horrid A place where the living leave and Dead men arrive I have arrived I was alive I have arrived I was alive I have arrived I was alive Minute by minute we let the day go Lying there dying so we sang song So many wait but what they wait for? The river dry until the rain come Minute by minute we let the day go Lying there dying so we sang song So many wait but what they wait for? The river dry until the rain come Minute by minute we let the day go So many wait but what they wait for? Lying there dying so we sang song The river dry until the rain come Judgement day has come Mountain pink, sky grey Judgement didn't take long Had a lot to say And so she waited on My return I'd make Never came back home Home is far away I have arrived I was alive I have arrived I was alive

Azul 03:28
Blue suede All on my feet I got blue suede Weightless floating through a dream Alone at last with my boo thing Hot like blue flame She said "I been meaning to say this to you but I love you baby" Weightless floating through a dream Forever like Wu Tang La dada da da da dada Do you wanna ride or die? Da da dada da da The day I died I wore blue suede... I never thought this day would come Everything under the Sun Will wither away when I'm done That's why there's a .38 on my waist Shades on my face, spliff by my gums Pack of cigs, pack of tums Some will stay, some will run Some will do, some are done I never never stop I never wanted the top but Put my feet upon the rocks Pulled myself up by my socks Vertical 180 degrees Lost the cartilage in my knees To get where I'm at you need To feel nothing at all when you bleed Real talk Honestly don't really feel ya'll I'm boutta reveal God Pearly gates won't be sealed off My orders came from above And everything under the Sun Will wither away when I'm done I never thought this day would come... "Do you wanna ride or die?"

Mocha 04:13
This is a revolution… I said "Don't leave me here for dead. Crooked frame was better than this Shit I miss my hospital bed. I'm worth much more with blood flowing through my chest I hope it'll rise again. No I don't wanna fight my way out of here Please just let me live instead." I said "Hold on dead preacher Skeleton man Let me swim back to where I came from Please take my hand." He said "Take me granted You've done it before. You knew that there was no going back When you washed up on that shore. So you gotta fight Make things right You gotta dance with death tonight And see the light." I looked upon him Dead-set eyes I knew that one day I would die someday But not this time! No! Not this time… She said "Don't leave him here for dead. I'll straighten out this crooked frame He never liked this hospital bed. Hold on dear healer, Medicine man, Let me take him back to where he came from You've done all you can." He said "He takes you for granted But I bet you've heard that before This isn't a prison; do what you need to do And walk out that door. But let me tell you… you gotta fight All through the night You gotta guide him through this darkness Make him see the light." She looked upon him Tears in her eyes She knew that someday I would die But not this time! No! She brought me a mocha… begged me to wake up. Ooo that sweet, sweet taste… Nothing like it. Life is the trip, death is home 'Bout to die… fuck you all I killed the preacher, broke his bones If I die I won't die alone Imma take at least a few of you with me They put my chances at less than fifty Ha! I've beat worse I won't be laid to rest in some cheap hearse Don't call it a comeback I planned this all I'm already dead so I cannot fall When I get out of this place man I'll run shit Da Don DaDa ain't nothing to fuck with Life is the trip, death is home And I'm never going back I don't plan to die I am the land, the sea, and the sky As above, so below… as am I This is where I belong Far far far Away from home If I die I won't die alone I will wait Until the Sun explodes This is where I belong Far far far Away from home If I die I won't die alone We're too late Judgment day has come

Requiem II 04:16
Sentimental Letter that I wrote was sentimental But I was unsettled by it Stomach couldn't keep quiet Lying Tell the truth for once Do it while you're busy dying I am finally letting go Heart race, sweating slow Let's see how far we can go! Far, far away home "I… I would've tried to fight I would've done anything" Said a letter to the night "I… I would've tried to fight I would've done anything" Said a letter to the night Cowardice I float away when I'm powerless Doesn't matter what the hour is First sign of trouble, man, I'm out of this They eat cake while I pound my fist We had stairs where I'm from But more blank stares than one Strangers to the Sun First time we met I looked the other way I don't know, scared probably but They say you look too long Your eyes fall out Calling out Lost my phone Part of myself Part of home All is all All alone August died well Flesh and bone Smell of rotting corpse… looking at nothing in the eyes God. I guess there's something to it after all "I… I would've tried to fight I would've done anything" Said a letter to the night... "I… I would've tried to fight I would've done anything" Said a letter to the night...

Euphoria 04:58
Final thoughts… There I was... There I was... Cold... Alone… Yelling with myself... Which foot first? "Take a step." I swear I did I swear I swear I did I swear Because there's not no reason Reach out Extend myself like Regent I can't share my secrets But I can definitely share my demons Even the odd ones... believe me. Lying there, dying, 'til I'm seasick Suddenly sunken thousands of feet… The depths. Descending into euphoria until I rest After this I'll never sleep until death Pull me apart. Flesh scattered in the water: the dark. Lack of light. Crush my heart. Hope to die. Surrounded by loved ones Saw them cry. Talked with Gabriel; asked him why I... committed the ultimate sacrifice He said "As above, so below… as am I" And I fell right there I swear I did I swear Crush my heart Hope to die Feel euphoria Close my eyes Hanging on Only life Feel euphoria Close my eyes Crush my heart Hope to die Feel euphoria Close my eyes Hanging on No more life Feel euphoria Close my eyes All I could see were silhouettes of the rocks below me. Above me: only darkness. And as I stood on that ledge... Millions of years passed by me in an instant. Everything I know died long ago. And in that instant: two decisions were made at the same time. As above, so below: as am I. But only one of those decisions were mine! And I screamed at the sky: "I will raise my hand one inch more! I will make my stand all alone!" "I will raise my hand one inch more! I will make my stand all alone!" Final thoughts... I thought I'd mention. I didn't want to be remembered. Still don't. Thankfully, that wish will come true for all of us. When the Sun explodes. Water all around me… [Octavius Roy Orozco wakes up. A cacophony of medical machines. The Priestess is by his side. Her warmth fills him. What lay before her was someone she hadn't yet met. She had summoned the Third Imitation of the Baphomet. Roy goes to sleep. His dreams sing to him.] I will raise my hand one inch more. I will make my stand all alone. I will raise my hand one inch more. I will make my stand all alone.

Regret 03:32
Ladies and gentlemen... I'd like to welcome you… to the end This is the final part of the first ACT I'm glad you stuck around… This has been a journey for all of us A journey that has just begun… May it never stop and once again Thank you You could've been anywhere else in the World Listened to anybody else… but you decided to listen to Roy And I'm grateful for that.... Big shoutout to Jay Battle for making us sound great Thank you to Benji for making us look good We got Riley Merlino on the guitar Jins Palace on the keys Thank you and good night… Ape on a dot… [Evening prayer - facing West] I did what I had to do… oh I don't like I what I did but I don't live with regret Don't wanna live with regret If not me someone else would I've already died I don't fear death I've seen her in the flesh Float towards the sun then explode Life is the trip and we are just guests Our only home is death No arms, no legs, no torso No no no nothing… formless Formless I did what I had to do… oh I don't like I what I did but I don't live with regret Don't wanna live with regret If not me someone else would I've already died I don't fear death I've seen her in the flesh Float towards the sun then explode Life is the trip and we are just guests Our only home is death No arms, no legs, no torso No no no nothing… formless [Roy has awakened from a near-death experience. He bore witness to the Tribunal's stirring vision. The first face he sees is the Priestess. He has forgotten her name in his nightmare But now knows he can trust her with his life. Whatever he was before might as well have been another life... And it was. The hospital room and his crooked bedframe come into view. Light fills his eyes like water in a sinking ship. "Roy..." the Priestess whispers. He can only grunt slightly but it is understood by all. Relief. To face death and survive - his vision was prophetical... So he was told. The Tribunal told him of this very vision and here he lay. A witness who would now give testimony to everyone that would hear him. A stirring of religious emotions; His new found faith in the Tribunal's plan for him. All of what has happened to him makes sense now. Finally. Roy is the Third Imitation - - a living testament to the Tribunal's foresight and wisdom. He has arrived. He is alive.]

DA DON DADA

ACT I

"ANTEA"

Roy Oro nearly dies after committing an act of terrorism for the State. While in a coma he is being supervised by his new friend, the Shedim Lilith de Chesed.

During his stasis; Roy has a vision. He greets the fabled "Skeleton Priest" on the banks of the River Styx. After pleading for safe passage, Roy is told that he must fight an "army of dead men". Either he wins and lives or loses and dies.

Suddenly, an immense feeling of strength washes over Roy's body. In a moment, an ancient focus brings him into the present. He contorts his body into a fighting form no one has taught him. He trades in his cowardice for a sword.

It is here Roy Oro manifests his destiny and becomes the Third Imitation of the Baphomet.
