[Verse 1]
The Keeper at Level One
Did not look like someone who kept things
She looked like someone who had been waiting
For someone to finally ask
She said: you want to know about the folds
Lara said: yes please
She said: sit down
[Pre-Chorus]
Before the folds there was only space
And the light could not reach all of it
And where the light did not reach
The dark energy grew stronger
Suphremah saw this
And he folded space
Like paper
So the light could reach the edges
But folding has a cost
[Chorus]
The folds were made because the light was losing
The folds were made to keep the darkness small
But the one who made them had to make a promise
That no one ever travels past Level One Hundred at all
The pact was made with darkness
The border was agreed
No exploration past the ceiling
No one past what Suphremah decreed
The folds held
The dark stayed contained
Until now
[Verse 2]
Lara said: but we went to negative forty-five
The Keeper said: yes
Lara said: that is not supposed to be possible either
The Keeper said: no
Lara said: and there is a door
The Keeper said: yes
Lara said: at Level negative forty-five
She said: that goes directly to Level One Hundred and One
The Keeper looked at her
She said: you are very thorough for someone so young
Lara said: I have notes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The door exists because the pact was made between
The fold above and the zone below
Suphremah needed a failsafe
A path between
That only the architect would know
Nobody was supposed to find negative forty-five
Nobody was supposed to find the door
[Bridge]
And yet
A crew from Level Twenty-Nine
Went down to negative forty-five
Came back
And is now standing at Level One of Fold Two
Asking very good questions
The Keeper said: go to Level Five
She said: the Librarian has kept records since before the pact
She said: she knows what Suphremah wrote
She said: she knows what is past One Hundred
She said: and she has been waiting
For exactly this crew
[Final Chorus]
The folds were made because the light was losing
The folds were made to keep the darkness small
But someone found the door inside the negative
And now the pact is not the ceiling after all
Level Five
The Librarian
Everything Suphremah wrote
The folds held for ten thousand years
And then this crew showed up
[Outro]
Lara had filled seven pages
Just on the pact
She said: this is a lot of information
Castor said: yes
She said: I am going to need more pages
Castor said: we know
Persy said: Level Five
He said: let’s go
Nobody disagreed
