Act II begins in the aftermath of a vicious battle between the Fendwellers (people of the swamp) and Sindr's army. The forest itself came to life, laying waste to Sindr's army while the Fendwellers retreated back into the trees. While the forest consumed Sindr's men, Thanos was abducted by a strange figure who appears to be the Forest Keeper.

The Forest Keeper lifts Thanos out of despair, and reveals that Thanos is actually a Relic (immortal). This song is an Ode to music; the Forest Keeper encourages Thanos to find an eternal companion for his life, because mortal friends and lovers will all die.

Come, Release your hate. Revile your pain Lay down the weight Crushing your soul

Oh, the well lit halls of my home Painted by polyphony

May I find some peace; Solace In this harmony Built from broken, nameless sound

Hear, Colors unseen Cast from their mouths Halls once well lit Dampened and dim

Have you grasped the infinite? Can you feel the weight of eternity? Mocking, mangling, Smothering you with hands that never shake

Reveal to me Those glorious wanton days

At last I feel The truth is gripping me

I can scarcely draw my breath My soul is drifting toward The valley deep within

Melt my heart o music. Let flow your stream, Resonant chambers of rage, contentment, passion or fear. Life to ever-sleep.

For only you can strike us with your magic.
