Rebellion (annihilation Of archaic wisdom)

The finale of Chapter 4 begins restlessly and somehow ominous. This is supported, among other things, by the fact that this song has very few repetitions. The individual melodies usually only appear again in a modified form, so that in principle there are no identical parts within the song.

The complexity compared to the other two songs has been reduced a bit, which is also reflected in the slightly shorter playing time. The song is divided into six parts, with the third part being particularly striking, i.e. the section after the first break in which Oddward is locked in the dungeon. Here, the two fellow prisoners are each characterized with their own leitmotifs, which reappear at a later point in time in a modified form. The bass theme stands for the older man who is reminiscent of the older Oddward, as he already appeared in “Pale Aurora and the rhythm of the stars”. The following section, mainly carried by the piano, represents the young woman who was also locked up in the dungeon and who has similarities with Aurora.

The increased use of sound effects is due to the fact that a lot happens in the plot in this song. The effects highlight the distinctive turning points at the relevant points (capture, dungeon, escape). Since the last section takes place for the first time outside of the holy yard, musically, a conscious break was made here, which symbolizes the turning away from this place and the renewed ascent towards space. The mysterious narrator’s voice at the end provides the summary / insight from this chapter and thus – similar to the end of “The Modernist” – represents the transition to the next chapter.
