"Prologue"

"Prologue" is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the first song on their 2018 album Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures.

Lyrics
[Verse1] Know now there is no time Space between the well and unknowing Our story starts there Well into our future, yet far beyond our past In a romance between a pair of unheavenly creatures

[Verse 2] The Five Houses of the Star Supremacy have privatized the detention zones of the galaxy These planetary prison pits reassembled from the cracked worlds of The Great Crash Which brings us to our stage Where the light must learn to love the black The Dark Sentencer

Story Context
"" This first track is meant to set the stage and even though it corresponds with the prologue text in the novella, it isn't word-for-word leaving somethings to remain a mystery, namely Verse 1. Verse 2 is more clear, though who and what HOSS and the Great Crash are specifically has not yet been revealed. The voice speaking has been confirmed to be Vaxis, the titular character of these new chapters.

Trivia

 * This song has a Piano Interlude in the beginning, but unlike the main series' one, it is a slowed down version of a latter track, "Old Flames".
 * The song has gapless playback to bleed directly into the next song, "The Dark Sentencer".
 * In the line, "Space between the well and unknowing," the well may refer to the Willing Well, but this is yet to be confirmed.
