This track was originally named "Nightmare Overture" and nearly made it into E6M1! It was shortened quite a bit to make the SIGIL II title track, in the end.

Happy birthday, Josh! π
This is a song focusing on the protagonist of Doom (1993) and of his exploits throughout the "Eviternity" duology, two gigantic Doom level packs spearheaded by project leader Joshua "Dragonfly" O'Sullivan. These mapsets have gone down in recent history as two of the highest-quality-assured and universally-beloved levelsets ever released for the game.
The lyrics connect not just to the story and canon of Eviternity's two releases, but to how Dragonfly brought both a development team and community together. I did want to leave things somewhat open-ended, though, so the overall lyrical message β of charging ahead full-pelt into the unknown, whether in pursuit of greatness or of uniting a people β could easily be applied to any heroic person or character desired.
Even our heroes must rest.

You are our final bastion
Let these words be your inauguration
You are a righteous bastard
Protector from annihilators
Canonised in all our minds
You are our one true pride
Demonised in Hell's own eyes
You accept no compromise
With Heaven withered
We need new sanctuary
A God to gather
Us in boundless unity
This legacy you will leave
Will last into eviternity
Throughout all tribulations
Imperishable, deadly weapon
Bow down β God of Creation
Celestial slayer of our demons
Cut through lies and catalyse
Our salvation from this strife
As bullets fly through battle-cries
You have stood the test of time
With Heaven withered
We need new sanctuary
A God to gather
Us in boundless unity
This legacy you will weave
Will last into eviternity
(Charge!!)
Holding the fight
With all your might
Collapse the titans that sent us this plight
Nations collide
Souls all unite
Against the foe of the archangelsβ light
(βͺ DEE SOLO)
Shed a light
We are saved!
Yeah!
Defy all expectation
A machine in perpetual motion
(βͺ AD SOLO)
(Yeah, yeah!)
Your twelfth and final chapter
Elysium's standing in rapture
But heroes have their limits
And heavy weighs your quest
And though you're far from finished
Don't deny your deepest-yet rest
(Eviternity!)
Your good works spread wide
Across our community
Every great stride
Has bound us in unity
This legacy, this release
Look at what you've achieved
Be assured the mark you leave
Will last into eviternity
(Eviternity!)

To close the album, this sprawling, cosmically-inclined thinkpiece recapitulates melodic ideas from "Impossible", but is a love letter to the Earth itself, rather than a reflection on individual humanity.
The lyrics herein lift from the geological unconformity of Siccar Point, discovered in 1788. Words from Karine Polwart and Dave Milligan's piece "Siccar Point" are also quoted here, which further Hutton and Playfair's affirmations of time being a stupefyingly large entity β one that never ceases to devour and dissolve all in its unfathomable abyss.
By establishing a reconnection with the lyrics of "Impossible", I hope to allow people to come to the same epiphany I did back in 2011 while standing on that shoreline in Australia β that our world is a series of moments that are gifted to us by Mother Nature.
I hope to at least bring some sort of comfort that the Earth itself, our divine home and bringer of life, will be long-lasting well after we're gone, even though we continue to take advantage of its affordance of life. If we rise above this, and try to respect our world, as well as ourselves, many of our issues may in fact wash away, like tears and diatoms.
Take the time β appreciate the moment.

This song focuses on the social othering of the neurodivergent, especially via "unspoken" social norms, along with the overzealous labelling and pigeon-holing of them via disorder diagnosis (erroneous or not). This can be an insurmountable obstacle for them to overcome.
Certain expected human behaviours, at least in the Western world, appear to be unspoken, unwritten, or otherwise withheld from those who aren't able to pick up on certain signals, and desperately desire clarity in these situations. The anxious and the awkward amongst us are constantly on edge, for fear of the next social faux pas they'll unwittingly stumble in. Rather than affording them time to breathe, or an explanation they can comprehend, we go to pains to attach labels of disability to them β as if to say this person is "broken", rather than "different". An incomplete jigsaw.
I do believe there is beauty in the human mind's inscrutability, and those who possess differences in their ways of thinking or of approaching problems carry an enormous potential for creativity, one that should not be ignored or forced into the mold of a mundane working world. Many neurodivergent individuals are expected to cave to normalcy, but truthfully, normalcy isn't applicable to everyone.

The death drive, or "destrudo", is the antonym for "libido" β a Freudian concept of the wish to cease existence, if only temporarily, carried out through self-destructive behaviour. Freud commonly described it as a desire to return to the womb, in order to remove oneself from the daily stresses of human life. It's a relatable feeling for me, in some way β sometimes in places of vulnerability or despondency, I prefer to vanish into safety and keep to myself, unseen and unheard.
I see the daily struggle that many people go through in coming to terms with their own identity, and how in this current political landscape there is a constant pull between what they wish to be, and what the rest of the contemporary society wishes for them to be. For those who are in minorities, just their sheer virtue of existence is anathema to some.
Sometimes, just existing can be exhausting.

In areas vastly outside of my comfort zone, I am fundamentally unable to creatively function. Time pressures, exacerbators of depression or anxiety, and other unwelcome extrinsic limitations all played a part in how I felt towards the end of my studies. This piece was initially written during the final year of my Bachelor Degree, at a point where I was seriously struggling with a sense of not belonging, of not performing to targets, and not feeling willing to conform to the restraints I was being put under. It is by some small miracle that I didn't flunk.
I have observed over the years that during my dreams I am often much more animated and emotionally driven, and some of my best musical ideas have come from words, sounds or full melodies that I have heard during dreams. To date, this state of being is not something I've been able to consciously harness during waking hours, but I hold out hope that perhaps there is a way for me to do so. Oh to have that creative energy available on demand.

β οΈ PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING β οΈ
Parts of this video feature flashing text, colours and lights. Viewer discretion advised.
January 6th 2021 proved that all a person in authority needs is a podium and a microphone to incite an insurrection. Then-president Trump's treasonous decision to speak in front of thousands of angered and hateful right-leaning American citizens, and to bait and encourage them to strike the US Capitol, came at the cost of lives and sent a shockwave of dread and terror across the country. It may be one of the most chilling recent demonstrations that a leading politician β appointed to keep his people safe and satisfied β could choose the path of violence like this if he so wished. It certainly isn't the first, of course, and will be far from the last.
The old "sticks and stones" adage may have to be retired. The power of words is real.
