[ost] (spi)ritual Lyrics
[Interlude]
Before me, Raphael
Behind me, Gabriel
To my right hand, Michael
To my left hand, Uriel
For about me flames the pentagram
And within me shines the six-rayed star
Before me, Raphael
Behind me, Ga-Ga-Gabriel
To my right hand, Michael
To my left hand, U— (Someone's coming)

It’s the first time we ever spoke about why we have the hexagram as our logo.

And to this, I mean again, I don’t wanna give to much away but, a link to the pineal gland and stuff like that. And this is meant to, like you say, clear and open those pathways. Even for the listener, I really like the idea that they are participating, on some extent, in a spell, that’s a really positive thing. For me, I personally believe things like that are really powerful.
