Where the Next Influence Begins
In the quiet after the Court has spoken, new shapes rise in the dark. This closing piece hints at influences yet unnamed—forces gathering beyond the throne’s reach. Their footsteps echo, their masks remain unseen, and the future tilts toward unrest. In the shadows, a single word begins the next cycle: Coup.
Whispers of the Unmasked serves as the album’s open door, the breath held between endings and beginnings. Velvet Abyss carries this moment with a tone that feels reverent and foreboding, as though singing from the threshold between what the Court knows and what waits just beyond its torchlit halls. The track never reveals who these new figures are; it simply marks the tremor of their arrival.
This is the Court listening to itself shift. A world preparing for masks not yet forged, alliances not yet drawn, and voices not yet claimed.
