[INTRO — VIVEC, HALL OF WISDOM, NO BEAT] [DEVIL — DEEP, GRAVELLY SPOKEN] Caius left me his house and a goddamn prophecy. Said find Mehra Milo. Easy, right? [FOOTSTEPS, LIBRARY DOOR OPENS] [DEVIL] ...Where the fuck is Mehra? [PRIEST — HUSHED MALE] She hasn't been seen. Check her quarters. [LOCK CLICKS, PAPER UNFOLDS] [DEVIL — READING] "Dear Amaya... Ministry of Truth... Two Divine Intervention scrolls..." Amaya? That's our code word. Wait. They arrested her?! [BASS DROPS — DUSTY 90s HORRORCORE] [VERSE 1 — LOW, BEHIND-THE-BEAT RAP] Back in Vivec, man, I hate these halls, Forty-seven stairways, everybody looks lost. Picked a bedroom lock, found a note by the bed, Now I'm rescuing the woman who was helping me instead. Grab two scrolls, grab levitation from the chest, Walk outside looking up like, "You've gotta be impressed." Giant fucking moon-rock hanging over my head, That's the Ministry of Truth? Man, this town needs meds! Drink the potion, start floating through the air, If this thing drops, ain't nobody walking outta there. Find an Ordinator waiting by the entrance gate, Hand on my weapon, thinking, "Here comes my fate." [ALVELA SARAM — QUIET FEMALE GUARD] I'm on your side. Take this key. Do not kill the guards. Get her out quietly. [DEVIL — SPOKEN] Stealth? You hired ME for stealth? Heh... fuck it. [HOOK — CHANTED, RHYTHMIC RAP] TRUTH ABOVE! TROUBLE BELOW! Got a prison in the sky and nowhere safe to go! LOCKED DOORS! BLACK ROBES! WATCH YOUR BACK! Went from jailbird to jailbreak, how the fuck about that?! ONE MORE SECRET! ONE MORE LIE! Why they keep the truth locked up in the sky?! [VERSE 2 — TENSE QUICKER FLOW] Crept around the corner, armored boots on stone, Ordinator marching, better leave that man alone. Wait for him to turn, slide behind a wooden desk, Found another little key, thank you, Temple, you're the best. Down into the Prison Keep, hear the metal scrape, One wrong swing, the whole damn building knows my face. Spot a cell, hear a whisper, "Over here, it's me!" Mehra Milo in the dark, man, this game's killing me. [MEHRA MILO — WHISPERED FEMALE] You've got the scrolls? Give me one. I'll escape to Holamayan. Meet me there. Ebonheart's east docks. Blatta Hateria. Tell her you want to "go fishing." [DEVIL — SPOKEN] Fishing?! Lady, we're in a floating PRISON! [SCROLL CRACKLES, MAGIC WHOOSH] [DEVIL] ...She just vanished. Alright, I'm next! [VERSE 3 — BEAT RETURNS, SARCASTIC BOUNCE] Divine Intervention, flash, back on the ground, Got another secret mission and a boat to track down. Ebonheart docks, found Blatta by the pier, Said, "Mehra sent me." She goes, "Why you here?" I said, "Go fishing." She nods, "Climb aboard." Damn, we're smuggling priests? I deserve an award. Boat cuts the water, reach an island out of sight, Monk says, "Door opens at the edges of the night." I said, "What edges?" He said, "Dusk and dawn." So I stand outside a rock while the sun moves on. At twilight, stone shifts, hidden doorway appears, I've been taking orders from rocks all fucking year. [HOOK — HEAVIER, LYRICS CHANGE] TRUTH ABOVE! SECRETS BELOW! Broke a priestess outta prison for a book nobody knows! HIDDEN DOORS! HIDDEN NAMES! HIDDEN PAST! Every damn answer makes the questions multiply fast! ONE MORE SECRET! ONE MORE LIE! What's the Temple so afraid we'll find?! [VERSE 4 — DARK, DRIVING STORY RAP] Mehra's in the library, safe and catching breath, Gilvas Barelo got the writings they protect. "Lost Prophecy," "Seven Curses," laid across the desk, "Kagrenac's Tools"—oh, what's this one confess? Says the Temple hid the story of its borrowed divine might, And the priests who tried to tell it got driven out of sight. Nerevar, Dagoth Ur, Red Mountain full of smoke, I came to grab some papers, now the gods look like a joke. Barelo hands me documents, tells me where to go: Take them to Nibani, let the wise woman know. Then I read the prophecy, feel my whole grin fade, Foreign-born outlander, cursed sickness kept at bay... [BEAT CUT — DEAD SILENCE] [DEVIL — DEEP SPOKEN] Hold the fuck up. Foreign-born? That's me. Corprus didn't kill me. That's me too. And they knew I was coming before I even got here. [LOW HEARTBEAT, SUB-BASS RETURNS] [DEVIL] I came to this island in a prison boat... And now I'm breaking people OUT of prison so I can read a book about MYSELF? [BARELO — CALM OLDER MALE] The prophecies are not finished. There are trials yet to come. [DEVIL — QUIET LAUGH] Heh. Of course there fucking are. [OUTRO — DISTANT BELL, BEAT FADES] [DEVIL] Alright. Back to Nibani Maesa. And if she makes me rob another tomb, I'm charging by the skull. [DOOR SLAMS, EVIL CHUCKLE]
